Chapter 450 – #451 Unlucky
#451 Unlucky
In Dark City, in addition to the Hero Association, there was one more symbol of justice and power called ‘Heroes’.
Although it hasn’t been long since the Heroes have been launched, they have shown great success from day one. He achieved great results by killing S-class villains [Greed Giant] And [Samurai].
Of course, Steel Armor killed the Giant of Greed, but no one knew the truth except for Steel Armor, who was the person involved, because the image of Heroes attacking the Giant’s hideout was posted as an article.
However, unlike the great achievements on the first day, there has been no significant activity now.
Even when a report came in that the villain had appeared, they did not mobilize. What the heck he was doing, he was just confined to the Heroes building.
As a result, few citizens now supported the Heroes, and even protests were taking place to disband the Heroes.
*****
-Disband the heroes who do not do hero activities!
– Dismantle! Dismantle!
“Ah fuck. Those bastards came today and are doing that. Is there anything to fuck?”
“Leave it alone. They’ll get tired of that and dissolve on their own.”
Two heroes belonging to the Heroes were having a conversation while watching the protesters shouting for the dissolution of the Heroes outside the window.
“But it sucks. Assholes who don’t even have superpowers say don’t disband and protest. Stupid assholes. Thanks to whom they live, they don’t even know the subject.”
“That’s right.”
Since they came to protest every day, of course, the feelings towards the protesters could not be good. The two heroes looked out the window and cursed at the protesters.
“Ah~ It’s fucking fucking real. Did you transfer to Heroes for no reason? It’s fucking fucking shit.”
And suddenly, the object of their swearing was from the protesters to the heroes.
“Why again? What happened?”
“They said they would treat you like the best in the industry when you fuck Heroes, but what is this? All the ads that were there have been cut off.
“Really? Giggling! Your life is screwed? You boasted so much about messing with Meghanie last month, but it’s so bad!”
“Shut the fuck up.”
Meganie was one of the top famous actresses in Dark City. Luckily, I was able to meet her, and she stayed overnight at her hotel.
Being a hero was a job that enjoyed as much popularity as a celebrity. Because only people with superpowers could do it.
So, many companies have put up a particularly popular hero as an advertising model. There were even dramas and movies based on heroes.
This social climate has brought about great changes in the hero industry. It is not the mission to protect citizens from villains, but the number of people who become heroes following money and popularity has increased.
I couldn’t say this was bad at all.
This is because companies set out as a contract condition that they do at least a few hero activities every month in order to maintain the popularity of heroes. The reason, anyway, was that there were citizens who were rescued by villains thanks to the activities of these heroes.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s bad, it doesn’t mean it’s good.
“Fucking Kirax. Why are you fucking blocking hero activities? A real asshole.”
“Hey. No matter how fucked up you are, what if you slap the president of the association?”
Kyrax was the president of the Heroes Association. In the Heroes building, the appearance of a hero swearing at the president of the association could not be viewed favorably.
“What to do. If it sucks, they say cut it off. My commercials didn’t stop because that bastard told me not to do hero activities.”
“But they give you a good salary.”
“That’s fucking shit. I made more money from ads than Heroes paid me. But Kyrax said that bastard made my income go down. Besides, they said they would pay for good ads. Rather, even if I sue Kyrax for breach of contract, that it will happen.”
For reference, the two were originally heroes belonging to the Hero Association. However, when Heroes said that they would serve them at the highest level in the industry, they abandoned the Hero Association and moved to Heroes.
“Fucking Chirax bastard. I’m going to fuck that bastard someday.”
“But… Huh?! Hey, hey!”
A hero became contemplative after seeing the back of a hero pouring out complaints. He hurriedly stabbed his friend in the side and signaled.
“What, why the fuck? Oh, fuck, is there no way to make this bastard fuck Kairax? Are you really going to sue him?”
However, the hero who was dissatisfied with reality did not notice.
“Yayaya! Shut up!”
“Oh, why do you keep yelling at me…”
“Sue me.”
“Huh? Huh?! Tongue, president of the association!”
The hero who looked back became contemplative. It was because the president of the Chirax Association, who had just been chewing and biting, was standing there.
“I’m the chairman of the association. I’m not chewing like a dog?
“That, that’s not it… I’m sorry, President!”
“…”
The president of the Kairax Association, who was glaring at the hero, quickly turned around and disappeared. Hero, who was gossiping about him until he was out of sight, was on his back.
“Hey, I’m gone. Get up.”
“… Ha fuck. Life sucks, really.”
“Yeah. Your life is so fucked up.”
“Shut up, this fuck.”
*****
Bang-!
Returning to his own office, the president of the Kairax Association slammed the door.
“Aaaaa!”
And he started tossing whatever he could catch.
“These bastards… Dare to know who I am!”
He couldn’t stand it because he was angry at the thought that even the little heroes were ignoring him. I really wanted to expel the hero who had gossip about me.
But I couldn’t.
Because it’s a hero power anyway? Because it’s your subordinate?
No.
The president of the Kairax Association was just the face madam of the Heroes, and had no authority. Just because he wanted to cut a hero didn’t mean he could.
It was [Grizzly], Known externally as an S-class hero, who was actually leading the Heroes. The name of the hero was given because when he roared, his voice sounded like the cry of a grizzly bear.
And the true identity of this grizzly was the [Won] Of Slater, a group of beastmen.
The main force of the Heroes was the Beasts who followed the circle and the artificial psychics created in the black market.
The heroes randomly taken out of the Hero Association were only bridesmaids to hide their identities.
The hero who had been gossiping about the president of the Kairax Association earlier had said that he had blocked the hero’s activities.
However, it was Won, not the president of the Kairax Association, who actually stopped the heroic activities of the heroes. The head of the Kairax Association asked Won why, but he had to come out in a hurry because of his stinging glare.
“Recently, Zero hasn’t even contacted me… Fuck, isn’t that what makes you a hot bar?”
The president of the Kairax Association bit his thumb nails in uneasiness. Still, in the past, if I had something to ask for as a face madam, I would often contact her, but lately the contact has been cut off.
Now that the black market has collapsed for unknown reasons, the only thing he can rely on is zero.
But he didn’t know.
The fact that Zero was captured by Steel Armor in the black market and was subjected to severe torture every day.
*****
Meanwhile at that time-
One, the actual ruler of Heroes, was facing a man. A man wearing a full-body white suit, he was none other than the White Knight. The White Knight, who had been glaring at Won with an expressionless face, spoke first.
“I know who you are, Grizzly.”
“What’s your business, Shadow Killer?”
“… Whoop whoop!”
When Won mentioned the Shadow Killer, the White Knight’s expressionless expression collapsed. He laughed so hard that his face was distorted, and he looked at the circle with amusement.
“Anyway, beasts need to be aware of their sense of smell. Until now, no one has been able to recognize my identity, but they do so right away. It’s really amazing.”
“Just because you’ve changed your appearance, you can’t hide your unique disgusting smell.”
“…”
Won still did not change his expression. He was a fairly reticent man.
“Your smell is disgusting. So just say your business and disappear.”
“Chig giggle! Yes, you do. You know that Zero is dead, right?”
“…”
Won’s eyebrows twitched. The conversation between the two men stopped for a while, but was resumed with Won’s muttering.
“Is that so?”
“I guess you expected it.”
“Okay.”
After Zero left Dark City to start a full-scale war, contact was lost. They weren’t the type to contact each other often, but since it was the first time they had been out of contact for such a long time, Won thought that Zero might be dead.
And that thought was slightly different, but it was the correct answer.
“I should have told you to tell me about your business.”
“What is it?”
Even though he knew that Zero was dead, that was the end of Won’s reaction. He’s really a very, very reticent guy.
“Follow my orders from now on.”
“Is that the end of the will?”
“Isn’t it supposed to maintain zero?”
“…”
The maintenance of Zero, that was the rule of Dark City by non-human beasts.
“Zero and I had the same goals. Zero wanted control of the Dark City, and I wanted many human lives. Anyway, there are too many humans for less than a thousand Beasts to rule the Dark City.”
“… So?”
“Since Zero left like that, you, Won, are now the leader of Slater. Don’t you want to rule the Dark City too?”
“…”
No answer. I meant that.
Unlike outside where you have to fight monsters every day, Dark City was a land flowing with milk and honey without worrying about monsters.
If he was a superman with great power, he had no reason not to be greedy.
“I still want many human lives, and you just take Zero’s place. Nothing changes.”
“Is that the end of what you want?”
“That’s right.”
“Then you follow my orders.”
“That’s hard. Zero does too, don’t you guys think your brain is spinning fast?”
“…”
No answer. Won wanted to refute Shadow Killer’s words, saying that he was stupid, but he had no distance to refute.
Since he was born with strong power, he had no need to use his brain. It’s a rule that you have to use strategies often, but since you solve most of the problems with your strength, your brain is pounding! It hardened.
“If I do your bidding, it will take another 10 years before I rule the Dark City. In the Dark City, there are many outwardly powerful ones, but many more hidden ones. If we move to rule the Dark City, they will rise up and stop us. Will.”
“If I follow your orders, how long will it take me to rule the Dark City?”
“1 year.”
“…”
“Actually, this year has so many variables, so I took a long time. If it goes according to my plan, it can be done within six months.”
“I rule the Dark City.”
“Yes, yes. What I want is something much bigger than the Dark City.”
The White Knight, no, the Shadow Killer said with a smile.
What on earth could be anything bigger than the Dark City?
Won was curious, but didn’t ask. Anyway, the Shadow Killer was not the kind of person who would give a truthful answer to a question.
“What am I going to do?”
“We need a soldier, a very strong soldier who can hunt monsters. You have all the remaining artificial psychics, right? Feed them this.”
“… What is this hideous hybrid?”
Won frowned at the pile of tentacles that the Shadow Killer had put out. The pile of tentacles looked terrifying enough to make the reticent man frown.
“It’s a ‘miracle’.”
“Miracle?”
“Yes. It’s a miracle given by a great person so that even criminals can hunt superhumans. I brought a lot here, so please feed the synthetic superpowers and the heroes belonging to the Heroes.”
“…”
The Shadow Killer’s shadow swayed, and a pile of tentacles pompomed in it! Popped out It was a terrifying sight.
The Shadow Killer who finished his business rose from his seat. His body was sucked into the shadows.
“Oh yes. And next time you see me, please call me White Killer, not Shadow Killer. I’ve changed my name. Giggles!”
The Shadow Killer, no, the White Killer, smiled grotesquely and disappeared into the shadows.
