"enjoy the show, my ass," Zhu Kang grumbled loudly as he glanced at the retreating back of the superhero. Not only was he stuck on a rooftop with no stairs, he was also left hungry.

Usually, he would grab a small disk at the little at the pub, free of cost. The part-timer who worked alongside him also pitched in a few times.

He got closer to the edge and peeked at his workplace. "ah he is running into my workplace.....I hope they don't break it. It's a cool place to work in."

Also, his curious eyes fell on the pub. 'he was talking about someone else. It is most likely Aaron. What are they both doing here, anyway? Is there a villain at loose?'

Somehow he became enthusiastic, expecting the action.

'Wish I had popcorn.' He searched through his pockets. Only a small mint candy that the bouncer gave him the previous day was inside. "eh let's work with what we've got," he threw it in his mouth and excitedly peered down.

Inside the pub, Zain had already spotted the man. He approached him with a bright smile. "sir, please come with us peacefully."

The man lowered his hood to reveal a black mask under. There was a huge snake symbol drawn on it. "Why the heck should I listen to you?"

All of a sudden, the glass bottles on the bartender's display shattered, spewing alcohol everywhere. Like a tidal wave, it flowed around them, drenching everything in there.

A weird premonition came to his heart. "everyone out!" altren shouted, breaking the door. He pushed out a few people and carried five of them in his arms.

"bye~" The man chuckled, tossing a lit match and bolting to the door

The whole place lit up.

"lookout, everyone moves to the door calmly. Alta! go after him" Zain took hold of three people at a time. "Alta?" he glanced back. There was no one behind him. "fuck this kid,"

There were twenty people presently in the pub, including the bartender, who was very much on fire. He took off his cape and put out the flame engulfing him. He hugged him close and threw two more over his shoulders and lifted another room that was covered by the windows.

The flames started to get aggressive.

There were still sixteen people inside.

He rushed back in, lifting a hand full of people. Only four can fit in his arms. Like potato sacks, he lifted them out.

Alta also rushed back from god knows where. This time, he flew up high to the ceiling and broke the piping that supported the emergency sprinklers. But there was not even a drop of water inside. "Why are the sprinklers not working?"

"he can control the water, you duffer. Did you even read my report!"

"oh..."

Zhu Kang watched them busily taking people out of the burning pub. "ah they burned it down. I knew it..... where will I find work that fit my schedule..." his anxious eyes searched for any familiar faces in the rescued people.

There were three people he knew and talked to. The kind bouncer who always gave him candies, another part-timer named Jacob who was always kind enough to share his own tips with him, and the chef who gave him free meals.

He noticed the bouncer and the chef outside, but the part-timer was nowhere to be seen.

Both Altren and Zain seem to be talking to everyone out there. and Zain flew away, leaving altren to help the badly burned.

'is he working the same shift?' he checked his schedule. 'he is.... why isn't he out there? no.... no way... is he still inside?,'

He called Jacob's mobile phone. it was engaged. 'who is he talking to?'

He tried again, and this time the call went through. "hey man, did you, perhaps..."'

"help! A soft whisper came from the other side.

"oh fuck you are still in there...."

"..."

"Hello... Jacob?" only the cracking sound was heard after that.

He stood up anxiously and waved at Altren. He seemed to be too busy talking to the cops. He flew away after that.

"fuck... did he really leave me here?"

He had no other go. There was a person inside that those stupid heroes forgot.

Zhu Kang surveyed the rooftop he was standing on. It was the classic brown tile roof. "here goes nothing," he squatted down and punched it with all his strength.

A huge hole opened up.

The two aging couples inside the house below looked up at him in shock.

"hello here. It was Alta who broke your roof. If you want to get the money, you can always just sue him." he jumped in.

The old couple flinched back.

"um, where is the way out?"

The old lady pointed to his right with her trembling hands.

"good lady..." he ran there but stopped. "you guys have a fire extinguisher right?"

They both nodded, too stunned to speak anything.

"great I might have to borrow it," he rushed to the kitchen and filled up a vessel with water. He swiftly poured it over his head, drenching himself from head to toe.

The old man tremblingly handed the small fire extinguisher to him.

"Thanks, man, love your hair..." he whispered, pointing to his messy hair. "this is also for mister superhuman Alta. Just get the money from him, okay. Don't forget to sue the hero!"

He shouted, running out into the hallway.

Zhu Kang jumped down the stairs floor by floor. His muscles were aching slightly, but they handled the pressure of the jumps very well.

Soon he ran out into the streets.

Three Ambulances stood there taking care of the severely burned patients.

"Kang! Thank goodman," the bouncer shouted from one of the ambulances. His hand was in bandages.

"Jason? Have you seen him? did he come out?"

"he... he did not come to his shift..."

Zhu Kang paused. He definitely heard the cracking of the wood and the weak voice of Jacob. "he is in there. I'm going in,"

He dashed in there.

"hey! wait!! Kang! Get back here!"

Zhu Kang ran into the flaming pub. Instantly, the dry parts of his clothes set on fire, but his skin seemed to be holding out well in the flames.

"Jacob! Yo! Where are you!" he checked under the bartender counter. He was not there.

'where is this guy?... don't tell me...'

Usually, whenever Jacob wanted to cut work, he would go into the back storage from behind the kitchen and smoke.

"fuck...."

Passing through the kitchen was the dangerous part. Not only was the whole place up in flames, but also there is a high possibility the gas lines might burst.

He dashed to the small storage room.

Jacob was seen scrawled on the floor.

Zhu Kang lifted him over his shoulders and spread all over his body with the fire extinguisher. The power will prevent him from getting aflame.

"I hope it works."

As of now, he did not have any water in hand. he just hoped that the chemical power in the extinguisher can help prevent him from getting hurt too badly.

Without any delay, he ran out of the back.

A huge bang was heard and the pressure from the blast pushed him off his feet a few feet ahead.

He rolled uncontrollably on the ground. Dull pain in the back of his head made him dizzy and disoriented.

"Kang! Hey....." a loud voice was the last thing he heard before he lost consciousness.
