The Heroes Association was a comprehensive organization formed in the Fourth World after the monster invasion, nominally coordinating all heroes.
However, the Heroes Association itself had also been jointly established by the various corporations.
At its head were the five megacorporations, followed by the Twenty-Seven Leading Companies and 167 member companies.
The Dark Night Group was one of the Twenty-Seven Leading Companies and had a considerable say in the Heroes Association.
The Night Harbor branch of the Heroes Association was also quite impressive, occupying the top of the Black Tower near Dark Night Plaza.
Whirrr~
The hovering business vehicle carried Lin Hao and the others to the top floor of the Black Tower, where they saw something resembling a rooftop garden.
"One-third of this building belongs to the Heroes Association. But the Dark Night Group itself is an important member of the association, so in a sense, this still belongs to the Dark Night Group."
Wang Zhen gave them a brief explanation in the vehicle.
"You need a hovercar just to come here. Putting the offices here cuts off plenty of everyday hassles outright..."
Watching the hovering vehicles being directed into parking spaces nearby, Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
To reach the Heroes Association at all, people first had to pay to rent a hovercar.
Ordinary people at the bottom probably would not bear to spend that money unless something was desperately urgent.
So although the Heroes Association theoretically "handled all kinds of injustice and defended against monsters," very few people could actually come here for help.
Night Harbor's lower strata were mostly controlled by various gangs, which maintained order.
"Still, plenty of gang members are 'heroes' too. In a sense, that counts as the Heroes Association maintaining order..."
It sounded absurd, but it really did happen.
