Under his immense strength, the anti-theft bars slowly twisted and warped until a hole large enough for a person to pass through was torn open.

WHOA! HOLY CRAP!

The crowd of elderly men and women, along with other onlookers, erupted.

"How is that possible? How much strength would you need for that? Is he even human?"

"Incredible, utterly incredible! Is he... is he from Earth?"

"What's his purpose for coming to Earth?"

The agents and firefighters also stared in disbelief, their mouths agape in shock.

After Xia Liang entered apartment 501, cries echoed from inside.

"Waaaah, mommy~ mommy..."

It was a little boy, an absolute mess from crying, his face streaked with tears. Upon hearing the noise, he turned his head and saw Xia Liang. His crying didn't lessen; instead, he shouted even louder.

"Mister, are you here to save Xiao Jie?"

In this critical moment, he saw Xia Liang as his only hope, staring intently at him, terrified the man would leave him behind.

"That's right! Don't be afraid! But you have to remember, someone as handsome as me should be called 'big brother'! Big brother is here to save you!"

Xia Liang patted the boy's small head and picked him up. Kids were all adorable, with the exception of certain brats, of course.

Jumping was an option, as a fire department air cushion was spread out below, but a child might not withstand the impact. Xia Liang found a thick quilt and wrapped the little boy tightly in it to act as a shock absorber. Although the boy was crying, he didn't struggle, which saved Xia Liang a lot of trouble.

BOOM!

At that moment, another explosion sounded from apartment 502. The sound wasn't loud; it was likely an electrical appliance exploding from the intense heat. Black smoke seeped in continuously from under the door.

"Cough... cough, cough!"

The little boy choked violently. Xia Liang felt a surge of relief; any later, and the boy might have suffocated to death.

"Kid, if you're scared, just close your eyes. When you open them again, you'll see your mom!"

"Mhm! Thank you, Mis... big brother!"

The little boy obediently closed his eyes. He was very polite, but his furrowed brow showed he was still extremely nervous.

"Good boy."

Xia Liang patted his head again. He then walked to the balcony and, amidst the crowd's screams and stunned gasps, leaped down while holding the child!

"AAAH!"

"He jumped! He really jumped!"

"Thank heavens! That young man made it just in time!"

"Please let the child be okay!"

...

THUD!

Xia Liang, holding the boy wrapped tightly in the quilt, landed squarely on the air cushion.

Immediately, the Protectors and medical staff swarmed them, checking their conditions. The media reporters, held back behind the cordon, could only watch anxiously and film from a distance.

"Xiao Jie! My child!"

The mother, ignoring everyone else, tore herself free from an agent's grasp and rushed forward. Heedless of her own appearance, her entire world was focused on her son.

The crowd couldn't contain their excitement either, wanting to surge forward for a better look, but they couldn't break through the police line. Everyone was talking at once—some asking about the deliveryman's condition, others wanting a photo with him. The scene descended into absolute chaos. The elderly men and women, in particular, had all crowded around. When it came to rubbernecking, no group could compete with them.

The Protectors worked continuously to disperse the crowd. The fire upstairs was not yet extinguished and the crisis wasn't over. It was unsafe for people to gather so densely; if anything happened, no one could bear that responsibility. The onlookers desperately wanted to see this miraculous deliveryman and find out what kind of superhuman he was, but they couldn't get past the Protectors' line.

Climbing to the fifth floor in mere seconds with no safety equipment was not something an ordinary person could do. Moreover, tearing open the metal security bars with his bare hands was a feat that seemed beyond human capability. Such courage and skill made even the Protectors feel a sense of shame.

The first person to reach them was the little boy's mother. She frantically checked her son over, touching him here and patting him there. After confirming he was unharmed, she pulled him into a tight embrace, constantly comforting him.

"Xiao Jie, you scared Mommy to death! If anything had happened to you, how could I have gone on living?" she sobbed. "It's okay now, don't be scared. Mommy's here!"

The little boy was still terrified, tears streaming relentlessly down his small face.

Thank goodness for that deliveryman. But where is he? He saved my child. I have to thank him properly!

When she came to her senses and looked for Xia Liang, he was nowhere to be found. He was just here a moment ago. Where did he run off to?

However, only the Protectors and the firefighters knew where he had gone. The moment he landed, Xia Liang had used the momentum to roll off the side of the air cushion and immediately slip away.

If not now, then when? Time to do the deed and vanish without a trace.

If he waited for the reporters to break through the cordon, his face would be all over the news.

Although in today's restless society, who doesn't want to be famous? Fame means money! But am I someone who needs money? I'm not short of cash!

For his noble and selfless act, the group of rescuing Protectors and firefighters felt a deep sense of respect.

What a true hero! Doing a good deed without leaving his name... this young man is incredible. Even though he's just a deliveryman, his selfless spirit is something everyone should learn from!

"Make way, make way! We're here to interview the hero! Hey, where's the deliveryman?"

At that moment, the reporters finally broke through, a formidable force with their 'long-lens cannons and shotgun mics,' displaying a bravery they certainly hadn't shown during the actual rescue. For people in the media, information is money. Getting the scoop meant a guaranteed promotion and a raise.

The Protector captain replied, his voice full of emotion, "He's gone!"

"What? Gone? When did he leave? How could he just be gone?"

The journalists were kicking themselves. This guy was a massive story. An interview with him would have been a guaranteed headline! You perform a heroic deed, save a child's life—that's like saving an entire family! It's not like you did something wrong, so why just leave?

「…」

Our protagonist was completely oblivious to all this.

"Hello, your delivery is here. Please come get it," Xia Liang said after ringing the doorbell.

A moment later, the door opened and a middle-aged man emerged, grumbling, "Took you long enough, kid. That's unacceptable."

He snatched the food, turned around, and shut the door.

Xia Liang's expression darkened. He shook his head and left, unaware that the video of him climbing the building had once again gone viral. Although it only showed his back, that didn't stop him from becoming an internet sensation in a very short time.

In this era of the internet explosion, it's simply impossible to do a good deed and keep a low profile, just like last time.
