As Aizawa continued his patrol, he began to feel as if he was being watched. He would look around to see if he was being followed only to find no one in sight. Aizawa's instincts told him something was off. Despite this, he continued his patrol. Eventually, he made his way to an abandoned construction site. Suddenly, he is ambushed by Taurus. Taurus grabs Aizawa by the head and slams him to the ground. As Taurus was about to slam his fists, Aizawa kicks Taurus in the face, allowing Aizawa to get back to his feet. As Aizawa got back to his feet, Taurus recovers from Aizawa's attack. 

Aizawa: So you were the one following me. 

Taurus smirked as he cracked his knuckles. Aizawa was unfamiliar with this Villain. 

Aizawa: Who are you and why did you attack? 

Taurus: You may not know me, but I know you, Shota Aizawa. I hope you're ready for a fight! 

Without hesitation, Taurus charged at Aizawa. Aizawa managed to dodge the charging Taurus. He then lands several punches at the Bull Villain, but Taurus was unfazed by it. 

Taurus: Heh. Tickles! 

Taurus begins toying with Aizawa. During the brawl, Taurus grabs Aizawa and throws him to the ground. As Aizawa slowly gets up, Taurus begins to taunt him. 

Taurus: Is that the best you got, Aizawa? C'mon! Use your Quirk! Make this fun for me!

As Aizawa gets up, he quickly realizes that Taurus's strength was too much for him. Thinking on his feet, Aizawa wraps his Combat Scarves around Taurus's arm and begins to yank at it. However, Taurus pulls at the Combat Scarves, pulling Aizawa closer to him. Aizawa is then forced attack Taurus which does little damage. Taurus continues toying with Aizawa. 

Taurus: I wonder what will break first. Your spirt or your body? 

Taurus and Aizawa then engage in a brutal one sided brawl in which Taurus was pounding Aizawa. All Aizawa could do was avoid as many strikes from Taurus as possible. 

Taurus: I must say, I'm a little disappointed. I expected more out of you. 

Aizawa: Why are you after me? 

Taurus: Does it really matter? In about a few seconds, it won't matter. You'll be dead. It's a shame really. I had it all played out. I was gonna break you, but based on your performance, you're not worth my time. 

As Taurus moves to finish Aizawa off, Aizawa begins analyzing the area for anything he can use against Taurus. Aizawa soon found an opportunity in the form of degraded beam. Aizawa then tossed his Combat Scarves around the beam. As the Combat Scarves are wrapped around beam, Aizawa yanks at it, easily breaking it. What follows is the collapse of a large scaffolding. As the scaffolding collapses, Taurus was able to catch it. Seeing an opportunity, Aizawa rushes in and begins attacking Taurus with a steel pipe. During the attack, Taurus loses his grip on the scaffolding and gets trapped beneath it. Aizawa soon sees an opportunity to interrogate him. 

Aizawa: Why did you attack me?! Who are you working for?!

Taurus: The only boss of me is me!

Aizawa: I want answers now!

Taurus: Wait until the others get their hands on you!

Aizawa: What are you talking about? What others?

Taurus: You got a nice big bounty on your head. Fifty Million to be exact! Whoever kills you is gonna be famous and rich!

Upon hearing this, Aizawa was shocked. He was caught off guard by the revelation that someone had put a large bounty on his head. Before he could properly process this, Taurus broke free and grabbed Aizawa by the throat. 

Taurus: Time to make me some money!

As Taurus began to strangle Aizawa, Taurus suddenly began to burst out into uncontrollable laughter. Taurus tried to stop laughing, but was unable to. He soon dropped to his knees, letting go of Aizawa. As Aizawa took a moment to catch his breath, Ms Joke rushes to his side. 

Ms Joke: Are you okay, Shota?!

Aizawa: I'll...I'll be fine. Thanks for the assist. 

Aizawa got up and proceeded to restrain the still laughing Taurus with his Combat Scarves. Once Taurus was restrained, Aizawa knocked him out. 

Ms Joke: Who was that guy?

Aizawa: I don't know. Never seen him before in my life. Whoever he is, he's strong. 

Suddenly, Aizawa sees a red dot moving on Ms Joke's head. Immediately knowing what was going on, Aizawa tackled Ms Joke to the ground just as a shot was fired. Aizawa and Ms Joke immediately duck behind cover. Meanwhile at the top of a rooftop overlooking the construction site, Gunsmith looks down on where Aizawa and Ms Joke were from the scope of his sniper rifle.

Gunsmith: Not bad, Eraser. Looks like you won't be so easy to take out. 

Gunsmith then looked around the area surrounding the construction site and could the the rest of the assassins observing the construction site not making a move on Aizawa. 

Gunsmith: All right, Eraser. We'll give you this night. I hope you know what you're in for cause you're in for one hell of a bad time.

For now, the assassins would back off from Aizawa for the time being. Taurus attempted to go for the kill, but was unable to. As Aizawa and Ms Joke took Taurus into custody, Aizawa quickly realized that he had a large bounty placed on his head. Not only that, but Aizawa learned that Taurus wasn't the only assassin after the bounty.
