Chapter 457 – #458 President Tai
#458 President Tae
The Jelly Master was confident that no matter how much he sent a signal from here, the Hero Association would not receive it because of the signal jamming device installed on the ceiling.
And it was true.
Viktor sent a signal to the Hero Association, which was an opportunity, but the signal jamming device prevented the Hero Association from noticing that the Jelly Master had defected and that the heroes were in danger.
But only one person, Aquagirl, was convinced that reinforcements were coming.
The reason she was so confident was the watch on her wrist.
-Made in sanctuary-
It was thanks to the rescue/support signaling device manufactured by Sanctuary.
Incorporating the latest technology from Sanctuary, this watch has the function of a watch, but the most important thing is that it is not affected by any jamming and accurately transmits the signal to the registered target.
It was the steel armor that she prepared and prepared again and again to the point where she felt really terrible about the safety of her own women.
Thanks to Steel Armor’s meticulous preparations, the signal sent by Aqua Girl was safely delivered to one S-class hero [Ice Queen].
“Sorry, I’m a little late to catch the villain.”
The Ice Queen, who crashed through her roof and landed on the floor, apologized to her lovely junior. The crimes of the villains increased day by day, and they were busy days without opening their eyes. It was a little late to arrest the villains who were on the run after robbing the gold and silver room.
“You… Ice Queen!”
Jelly Master, who was trying to suck Aqua Girl into herself at the appearance of an S-class hero, was nervous. As her hero, the Ice Queen’s achievements could not be called legendary.
“Keu, keukeukkeuk! Yes! Let’s become one with me! Aquagirl, me and you too! This is how the three of us become one!”
The Jelly Master was nervous after seeing the Ice Queen, but he soon burst into madness. Rather, he moved her jelly and tried to absorb her as well.
The opponent was an S-class hero, but he also had the power of an S-class hero.
If it’s the same S class, if you have superpowers close to immortality, you can overpower the Ice Queen!
The Jelly Master believed so.
“You guys attack the ice queen too! We have to capture it alive!”
“Kick Kick Kick!”
“Keeeeek-!”
The monster agents also rushed at one of the ice queens.
“…”
Ice Queen, who watched the enemies flocking towards her indifferently, used her ultimate skill, crafted with the advice of her beloved.
“Ice Age.”
So, so, so, so-!
A chill emanated from the Ice Queen. Everything touched by the chill was frozen cold. In addition, there was a lot of water inside the factory because Aqua Girl had poured all her energy into it.
The water Aqua Girl left behind made Ice Queen’s power even stronger.
“Ah, ah ah…!”
Jelly Master’s body froze instantly,
“Kee, ee, ik…!”
The monster agents also froze as they came running.
Everything is frozen
“Ha…”
In a world where everything was frozen, only the Ice Queen stood alone.
Clap clap clap-
“Stand, stand, stand, senpai eh eh eh… Choo choo choo choo choo, whoo oh oh oh…”
“Ah! I’m sorry Aquagirl! Are you okay?!”
Being held by her Jelly Master, the Aqua Girl who was swept along by the Ice Age snapped her teeth and trembled.
Her startled Ice Queen rushed to her rescue.
*****
Drooling-
The sliding door opened and the president of the Valencia Association came inside. It was the first time I’d seen him since I grabbed him by the collar the other day.
“It’s been a while.”
“You asked to see me first… Unexpected, huh?”
The president of the Valencia Association, who sat across from me, stopped talking and suddenly looked at the table. The table was full of empty plates.
He looked at me and I shrugged.
“I was waiting, but I was hungry. I ate first.”
“… It’s been like that before, but it’s really good.”
“Isn’t it prime time? And don’t worry, we’ve ordered another table.”
“I’m not worried about that.”
“No.”
“Her…”
After casting King’s Word, the president of the Valencia Association shook his head as if he was dumbfounded. Slowly- The sliding door opened again and the food I ordered was set before the president of the Valencia Association arrived.
After the meal was set, the servants bowed politely toward us and went out.
“… What’s so much?”
He stared at his table with a tired face. The neat food prepared as if the upper leg would break was quite a lot for two people to eat.
“What is it? Everyone eats this much, right? Hehe… It must be delicious.”
“There were quite a lot of plates that the waiters took earlier… I wonder if you ate the same as this… No, does it contain more food?”
“Omnyomnyomnyom. Then eat it when you go in. Can you force yourself to eat it? Rather, eat it before it cools down.”
“… It does.”
I ate more than this earlier, but I was about to say it because that man would look at me strangely.
A brief meal time followed, and we focused on the meal in silence. It is not manners to talk about work during meals. When you eat, you should focus on the rice!
“You ate well.”
“I’m glad you enjoyed your meal.”
“By the way, did you call me and come? Didn’t you at least disguise yourself?”
I was wearing the Steel Armor costume that is widely known in Dark City. A mask with a picture of a skull on it and a suit.
On the other hand, the president of the Valencia Association was quite disguised. He had a beard attached underneath, a wig and sunglasses, and he seemed to be paying attention to his disguise.
But there was no need for elaborate disguises.
“You don’t need to disguise. This is my restaurant.”
“…Yours?”
“Yes. So, the story of the meeting between the S-class villain and the head of the Hero Association will not leak. I bought the mouths and memories of the people who work here with my money.”
“Tsk. Then tell me immediately.”
The president of the Valencia Association, who clicked his tongue, took off the wig he was wearing. His air conditioner was on, but it was quite hot, and his hair was wet with sweat.
“By the way, now I’m slowly bringing up the matter, but, as you said, I’m living like a rat dead.”
It was a horse with bones. He seemed to still have in his mind what I had grabbed him by the collar and shouted the other day. Tsk. To be petty.
“Then let’s talk business. Lend me a hero.”
“… What?”
The president of the Valencia Association looked at me as if this bastard was talking nonsense.
“I need to track people, no, villains, but I don’t have anyone who is good at tracking. But aren’t there many heroes in the Hero Association who are good at tracking?
Heroes called masters of tracking were needed to chase down the man who handed over the pile of tentacles to Oberon.
Of course, I also use psychometry skills from time to time and collect information as much as possible, but I haven’t been able to catch his tail yet.
‘Looking at this thoroughly, there’s a 95% chance that it’s a shadow killer…’
When I first checked Oberon’s room, there was a 90% chance of being a Shadow Killer, but this time it rose by 5%. I tried using the back alley intelligence organization, but none of them knew about the Shadow Killer and the tentacles.
So, I thought of borrowing a hero who is good at tracking and tracking him down.
My senses are telling me.
The tentacles are very dangerous. So we need to catch him as soon as possible.
“Isn’t it enough that I took the Flame Witch for free?”
“Why is Flame Witch here? And he quit being a hero because he liked being with me, so why are you doing this to me?”
“Yeah…! Whoa… Okay, that’s it. Anyway, you asked me to borrow a hero who is good at tracking, right? My answer is no.”
“Why do you do that again? They say they pay generously? I will pay generously. They pay a lot more than being sponsored by quite a few large corporations.”
“Still, my answer remains the same. No.”
“…”
It’s like this kind of rejection. In a fit of rage, I tried to hit Ma Pak, but I barely held it in.
“What’s the reason? The basis of negotiation is to listen to the other party’s requirements and meet mine. Let’s negotiate.”
“There’s not enough heroes.”
“Yes?”
The president of the Valencia Association looked at me as if he didn’t like it and continued.
“Recently, the rate of increase in crime by villains has skyrocketed, especially in the northwestern part of Dark City. So, there is an absolute shortage of heroes to stop those villains. I have to move.”
“Hmm. Then I’ll lend my people. How about a one-on-one trade?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’ll arrest your people as soon as they come. They’ll feed you a lot of bean rice. I have no intention of cooperating with you, the villain.”
“…”
Oh Tsuba Should I just hire a bunch of detectives? Then at least one might step on the tentacle’s tail. Since the president of the Valencia Association refuses to do so, I will have to withdraw my plan to use a hero who is good at tracking.
At that time, the president of the Valencia Association spoke to me with a coy look.
“If you disappear from the Dark City, I might lend it to you.”
“What kind of bullshit is that again? Oh, mistake. The president of the association said so much bullshit that I said bullshit without even realizing it. Anyway, don’t talk bullshit, president of the association. Why am I disappearing?”
“Do you know why the crime rate soared in the northwest?”
“What kind of bullshit are you trying to say? Oh, mistake. You keep saying bullshit. I’m sorry.”
“…”
I’m not really sorry, but I apologized for being sorry.
“Anyway, why did the rate of increase in crime increase around that area?”
“It’s because of you.”
“Yes?”
This gentleman has been talking nonsense ever since. Did you become a dog? Weird? Didn’t you order a drink?
“Since you fought off the villains more zealously than the heroes did, the villains who couldn’t overcome your back moved to other areas.”
“…?”
“A struggle broke out between the existing villains and the villains who ran away from you. Sometimes the stone that was stuck in won, and sometimes the stone that rolled over won. To commit a crime.”
“… Ah?”
I couldn’t follow the flow of the conversation for a moment.
So… I cut off the villains who committed crimes in my district, so other villains didn’t want to fall behind me, so they moved on to other districts, and committed crimes there?
‘I wondered why the house prices in the districts I ruled had risen so much…’
As public security increased because of me, house prices had no choice but to rise. And as a counterbalance, the density of villains increased in the areas I did not control, and the house price fell.
‘Huh… Are there any cases like this?’
I’m just kidding because I don’t want to see the bastards roaming around my district without paying taxes to me… I can’t believe this effect is happening.
Somehow, every time Aqua Girl called, she whined that she was having a hard time because she was too busy. Everything was there for a reason.
“Ha…”
A sigh came out of my mouth.
‘A man like me… How on earth do you plan to become great!’
Real estate in Dark City is shaken by my actions. Crime rates fall and rise. Isn’t this almost presidential level influence?
‘No! I am the great president, greater than the great president!’
The lower leg is also much larger than the others.
Anyway, back to the main point,
“Still, it doesn’t make sense for me to disappear from the Dark City. Then it will only add more confusion. Anyway, are there any other requirements other than that? If it’s material things, I’ll make the most of it…”
It was the moment when he was about to resume negotiations with the head of the Valencia Association.
Geeeeeing-!
Rurrureung-!
My cell phone and the president of the Valencia Association rang at the same time. It’s manners mode during business… Anyway, the president of the association has no manners.
“I’ll answer the phone in a moment.”
“Sure. I’ll pick up the phone too.”
I and the president of Valencia received a phone call at the same time.
And-
“… What?”
“What?!”
– Shouted at the same time.
