Perhaps We Could Work Together?

To be honest, all of these options, especially the latter two, are acceptable.

However, the problem is that Uraraka Shige has overlooked something else: there are actually other people behind the door where this 'enemy' appeared...

"Doctor. Zōti, what happened?"

The door that this 'enemy' had closed was opened again from the inside, and along with the sound of the door opening came a slightly concerned statement.

However, it was clear that this concerned remark was not directed at Uraraka Shige.

But this doesn't mean that the person who said those words didn't attract Uraraka Shige's attention.

Uraraka Shige first cautiously glanced at the hook-nosed 'enemy'.

Only after realizing that this 'enemy' was also drawn to the words of the newcomer behind the door did he turn his gaze to the door as well.

Even so, Uraraka Shige still didn't forget to include this hook-nosed, gloomy-faced 'enemy' in his peripheral vision.

This 'enemy' posed a Uraraka Shige.

"Well, it's nothing serious, just found a little brat."

The man with the hooked nose twisted his neck 180 degrees, his feet and chest still pointing forward, but his gloomy face was looking directly behind him, creating a chilling and unsettling impression.

Moreover, although his hooked nose makes him seem vulnerable to a sneak attack, it also reveals that this former Doctor 'enemy' must have illegally modified his body, which is hidden beneath the thick trench coat.

"Yeah?"

From behind the door emerged a middle-aged man who was slightly balding, short in stature, and somewhat hunchbacked. He looked like the kind of ordinary office worker you could see anywhere on the street, constantly busy making a living and working, already facing a mid-life crisis.

"That's wonderful! Do you need us to take care of this brat for you?"

The middle-aged man's words made Uraraka Shige's heart tighten immediately.

If the hook-nosed, gloomy-faced 'enemy' really agreed to what the middle-aged man said, it would be very bad news for Uraraka Shige.

Keep in mind that he was already facing four guys who had all been injured and whose fighting ability had declined, as well as a real 'enemy' on the police wanted list. At this moment, a slightly balding middle-aged man emerged from behind the door.

If the hook-nosed man really agrees with the middle-aged man, it means that Uraraka Shige is already at a significant numerical disadvantage, will have to face even more enemies.

Perhaps those enemies won't be true 'enemies' like the one with the hooked nose, but even if they're just some petty thugs, they're enough to cause Uraraka Shige a lot of trouble.

After all, the situation he was facing now was completely different from when he faced the Gray Rat Society Gang thugs.

At that time, the group of thugs were more focused on capturing him than on actively threatening his life.

But now, there is a real 'enemy' who has committed several murders but is still at large, as well as the faction of that slightly balding middle-aged man who seems to be cooperating with the hook-nosed man.

Especially since the middle-aged man used the word "get rid of," Uraraka Shige did not believe that the middle-aged man's so-called solution was to treat Uraraka Shige like a lost child and safely escort him back to his home.

On the contrary, Uraraka Shige was more inclined to believe that the middle-aged man intended to kill him right there and then dispose of his body in a standard manner to cover up the crime.

Faced with an enemy who would not hold back against him, and was more likely to kill him, and who also had the advantage in numbers and strength, Uraraka Shige had no chance of victory.

Even if the hook-nosed man agreed to the middle-aged man's request, and the middle-aged man actually summoned a few real 'enemies,' then Uraraka Shige might lose all hope of escaping.

"What do I do..."

Faced with this situation, Uraraka Shige felt somewhat anxious, but she had to force herself to calm down and think things through to try and come up with a way to break the deadlock.

"Should we find a chance to escape now?"

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but have the idea of taking the opportunity to escape. After all, he had never been a stubborn person. Even in this life, when it really came time to escape, he never hesitated.

Of course, the incident that dragged the policewoman down is a separate matter.

However, the hooked nose did not deter Uraraka Shige from fleeing; he rejected the middle-aged man's suggestion.

Although this didn't completely put Uraraka Shige at ease, it also meant he couldn't see even the slightest hope of victory.

After rejecting the middle-aged man's suggestion, the hook-nosed man turned his head back to look at Uraraka Shige.

When Uraraka Shige noticed out of the corner of her eye that the hook-nosed, gloomy-faced 'enemy' seemed to make a move, she immediately turned her gaze back to him.

"Kid, why are you here?"

The hook-nosed man asked Uraraka Shige this question.

His question made Uraraka Shige start to weigh and ponder it in his heart once again.

"Should I reveal my true purpose to this 'enemy'? What if I tell them something else? What if I tell them the real purpose? What if the other purpose I reveal is false, something I made up? What if it's true?"

Perhaps he himself didn't realize that ever since he actively participated in the incident involving the 'enemy group' in this life, he has become increasingly fond of thinking. Although much of his thinking seems useless or wrong, one thing is undeniable—his current way of doing things is becoming more and more different from that of his previous life.

Just as Uraraka Shige in thought, the guy with long, slender fingers and sharp nails, who had a 'Quirk', spoke up again to answer the hook-nosed guy's question for Uraraka Shige.

"We initially thought this kid had wandered in by mistake, but he seemed to have said something strange about looking for a king or a stronghold."

The answer given by the man with sharp nails on behalf of Uraraka Shige seemed to pique the interest of the hook-nosed man.

Upon hearing the words of the man with sharp nails, the hook-nosed 'enemy' narrowed his eyes, muttered to himself for a moment, and then suddenly asked Uraraka Shige:

"Kid, if you want to go to the residence of that uncrowned king who recently exposed his whereabouts in Kyoto, perhaps... I need your help with something... We might be able to make a small deal."
