The captain in black stepped out of the car and said, "Steve, I've been waiting for you for hours. Finally, you're here!"
The audience across the three realms heard this. They were amused.
"So patient! Should we give him an award or something?" someone joked.
Just then, Kagami arrived, riding a motorcycle. She appeared on the side, followed by a group of ant soldiers, all pointing their guns at Steve.
Kagami rushed over, shouting, "Stop!"
The captain in black turned to Steve and demanded, "Hand over your belt."
An ant soldier stepped forward to take the belt, but before he could even reach Steve—
"DE!"
Steve punched him, sending him flying! The soldier hit the ground hard.
Steve remained calm. "You really think you can take my belt?"
More ant soldiers raised their guns, ready to fire. Tension filled the air. The audience across the three realms leaned in, their nerves on edge. A fight was about to break out.
Kagami quickly lowered their weapons. "Stop! You can't beat him!"
The audience laughed. They had thought Kagami was worried about Steve, but it turned out she was more concerned about the safety of the ant soldiers!
The man in black smirked. "That line was pretty funny. You must be the Kabuto King. I've heard Kagami is your friend."
Then he pointed his gun at Kagami. "Do as we say."
Kagami's face was calm. "That won't work."
Steve added, "You're right. We're not friends. But if you want the belt so badly…"
He took off the belt and handed it over.
The ant soldiers seized the belt and passed it to the captain in black.
The audience was stunned. They never expected Steve to give up the belt so easily. Was it for Kagami's safety? They weren't convinced.
Still, many were worried—without the belt, Steve couldn't transform. He wouldn't be able to fight the ant soldiers!
Kagami looked anxious. "No!"
The man in black smiled. "Well, that was easier than I thought."
He was surprised too. He hadn't expected Steve to cooperate so easily.
Several ant soldiers escorted Steve away, but Steve looked completely calm—he even smiled.
He hadn't done it for Kagami. He had his own reasons. He wanted to learn more about the Jet Organization.
Seeing his smile, the audience finally relaxed. They trusted that Steve had a plan.
Scene Change: Interrogation Room
Steve sat in a chair, legs crossed, calm and relaxed. He didn't look like a prisoner at all.
The audience was impressed. "He looks like he's just chilling at home!"
Misaki Yuyue began the questioning. "Are you the incarnation of Kabuto King?"
Steve curled his lip. "That's a stupid question. Would you ask the sun, 'Are you the sun?'"
The audience burst out laughing.
"Haha, great comeback!"
"Of course he's Kabuto King! It's obvious!"
Misaki asked again. "Why do you have a knight's belt?"
Steve replied, "Another stupid question. Would you ask the sun why it shines?"
Misaki's expression changed. Steve's sharp words were infuriating.
The audience was howling.
"This guy's on fire!"
"Savage!"
"He completely roasted her—twice!"
"He doesn't even spare Misaki's feelings!"
Meanwhile, on the First Floor of Jet HQ
Suddenly, many alien insects stormed the building and began slaughtering the ant soldiers.
The audience was shocked. "Why are alien insects attacking Jet Organization?!"
Back in the Interrogation Room
Misaki tried to regain control. "Say something useful at least!"
Steve smiled. "Are you treating me to pork chop rice during this interrogation?"
"Take me to the best pork chop rice spot."
Misaki was speechless again.
The audience laughed even harder.
"He asked for food in an interrogation?!"
"This guy doesn't take anything seriously!"
"No shame at all!"
"I respect that."
"No way Misaki agrees to this."
Scene Change: Cafeteria?
Steve was now eating pork chop rice.
The audience was stunned.
"Wait, WHAT?!"
"She really gave him pork chop rice???"
"She's too kind!"
Steve ate calmly and asked, "How many troops does Jet have?"
Misaki replied coldly, "What about it?"
"Are the teams isolated from each other? Are all orders issued from HQ?"
Misaki's expression darkened. She slammed the table.
"Do you realize you're the one being interrogated?! Not the other way around!"
The audience burst out again.
"This is amazing!"
"Now he's interrogating her!"
"I love this man!"
Super Chat:
Funina: "Steve's hilarious!"
Kiana: "This is classic Steve."
Hu Tao: "Misaki is about to lose it!"
Yae Shenzi: "Best interrogation scene ever."
Misaki snapped, "Don't push it!"
The ant soldiers behind her raised their guns.
But Steve remained calm.
"Thanks for the meal. It was delicious."
Misaki sat down quietly. She didn't want to talk anymore. Arguing with him was exhausting.
The audience laughed again.
"Did he really just say thanks after forcing her to give him food?"
"I was worried about him getting caught—but he's just being himself!"
"He's still the same old Steve. Always got a plan."
The captain in black stepped in. "Miss Misaki, you're dismissed."
"Why?" Misaki asked, confused.
The captain sneered. "Now that we have the belt, we don't need gentle methods. Let's move to torture."
Misaki looked deeply worried.
Elsewhere
Two ant soldiers were taking Steve to a different room. Steve murmured, "It's time."
He kicked them unconscious in a flash.
The audience erupted.
"YES! He planned this!"
"Of course he had a way out!"
Meanwhile, Misaki was running for her life. Alien insects were attacking Jet HQ.
Dead soldiers lay everywhere.
The captain in black shouted, "Get in the car!"
Misaki obeyed, unaware of the real danger.
Kagami and Steve arrived just in time to see the car leaving.
Kagami looked around. "What happened here?!"
Steve replied calmly, "Looks like the alien insects have targeted Jet's HQ."
"But no one knows where the HQ is," Kagami said.
"There is a way," Steve said. "Disguise as a Jet member."
Kagami's expression changed.
They then discovered another dead captain in black nearby.
Kagami was shocked. "Wait, wasn't he just alive?"
The audience realized: "It was an alien insect in disguise!"
"Oh no—Misaki is with them!"
"She's in serious danger!"
Inside the Business Car
The captain in black ordered, "Get the belt to HQ before the alien insects attack again."
"Misaki, contact HQ!"
She nodded. "Yes!"
Just then, Kagami called her.
"Listen carefully. The two people with you are alien insects."
Misaki's eyes widened in terror.
Kagami continued, "Escape with the belt. Someone will help you."
She hung up.
But the enemy had already heard.
The captain in black sneered, "Too bad. Our hearing is much better than a human's."
The audience held their breath.
"Damn, they heard everything?!"
Just then, the car jolted violently.
Bang! Bang!
Steve was attacking from a motorcycle behind them!
In the chaos, Misaki grabbed the belt and jumped from the car.
The captain and his companion didn't chase her—the car sped off.
Steve stopped in front of her.
She stared, stunned. "Who are you?"
Steve took off his helmet and smiled. "You gave me pork chop rice. I came to repay you."
Misaki was overwhelmed with emotion. Kagami's mystery savior had been Steve all along.
She handed over the belt. "Here. It's yours."
Scene Change: Final Battle
Steve chased down the fleeing car and blocked it.
The captain in black stepped out. "You really are Kabuto King."
He transformed—his body turned pale white with red horns and long red fangs.
The audience gasped.
"These alien insects look like monsters!"
Steve stayed calm. "Let me show you the light of the sun."
"Transform!"
Suddenly, multiple alien insects appeared and charged.
Steve chopped through them one by one with his axe.
Bang bang bang!
They exploded behind him as he turned his back.
The audience was floored.
"Too cool!"
"He's the King of Style!"
"He needs his own statue!"
Steve raised one hand to the sky.
The crowd roared.
"That pose never gets old!"
Then—
"Explode Armor!"
"Speed Up!"
"Beetle Transformation!"
Steve and the transformed captain fought fiercely on the ship's deck.
The captain's arm grew a sharp weapon, and he attacked viciously.
Steve countered and struck him with an axe.
"DE!"
Lightning exploded on the enemy's body.
The captain roared and rushed at Steve.
Steve turned his back to him again.
"One, two, three… Knight Kick!"
Electricity surged through Steve's foot as he spun and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick.
BOOM!
The monster exploded in a fiery blaze.
Under the sunlight, Steve pointed to the sky again.
The audience erupted.
"Legend!"
"The sunlight makes him look divine!"
"He really is the King of Pretending!"
