A Chapter That Arrived Very Late... All Right, I Know What to Say

Time: Night

Location: Private room of an underground bar

Characters: Uraraka Shige, the young master of the Shie Hassaikai, and other officers

He picked up the unidentified drink in front of him and downed it in one gulp.

Uraraka Shige felt much better about her parched throat.

He was surprised that this kind of underground bar would offer drinks other than alcoholic beverages.

"So, if you have anything to say, please say it now."

Young Chisaki Kai watched Uraraka Shige's actions with a calm and composed mind.

He didn't touch the drink on the table in front of him, but instead gently raised his hand, indicating that Uraraka Shige could speak now.

Perhaps it's because he doesn't want to take off his mask in front of outsiders?

Uraraka Shige down her empty cup, stared intently at Chisaki Kai, remained silent for a moment, and then asked a very silly question.

"... What was I going to say?"

Uraraka Shige tilted her head in confusion and scratched her cheek.

The young master, who had been in a very stable state of mind, suddenly lost his composure.

A feeling of being played for washed over him.

However, he wasn't being played.

Because Uraraka Shige quickly remembered what he wanted to say.

Oh, right!

Remembering what she was supposed to say, Uraraka Shige straightened her back and sat up straight, her eyes becoming bright and lively, no longer looking dull as before.

Let's work together!

Uraraka Shige looked at Chisaki Kai with great anticipation in her eyes.

If we can cooperate with the Shie Hassaikai, it will be a great help to them in finding the remaining forces of 'AFO' and how to deal with them once they are found.

"Cooperate?"

The young master seemed quite interested in Uraraka Shige's suggestion.

He asked, "How do we cooperate? What are your cooperation plans?"

Cooperation plan?

Uraraka Shige, of course, has no plans for cooperation.

After all, even this idea came to him suddenly without thinking after he met Chisaki Kai.

And where would there be any plans?

However, you certainly can't say it like that.

Otherwise, Chisaki Kai would most likely have rejected this opportunity for cooperation.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige could only come up with a so-called cooperation plan on the spot.

"A plan? I intend to use your influence to do some things for us. In return, I can provide you with the contact information for the 'United Front' and the 'Meta Liberation Army.' I can even facilitate an 'alliance' between you."

However, it's less of a plan and more of his objective and the benefits he could offer...

Yes, it's basically that kind of quid pro quo exchange.

I eat the fruit you sell not because your fruit is delicious, but because I work for your father.

I buy your fruit, and you whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

However, this is clearly not going to work. People say they want to hear the plan, but if you talk to them about benefits and prospects, it's obviously not the answer and you're just making empty promises.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige paused only slightly before continuing:

"As for what I want you to do for me, and the specific action plan..."

At this point, Uraraka Shige glanced at Chisaki Kai's expression and found that the young master was also staring intently at her, looking very serious.

After an awkward laugh, Uraraka Shige continued:

"It's quite simple. After all, that 'AFO' is now dead, so naturally there are quite a few guys eyeing that position."

"But regardless, those talents under 'AFO' are still doing quite well. And it seems they've been brought together by someone..."

"Therefore, in any case, the person most qualified to inherit the position of 'AFO' should be the one who can control all the remnants of 'AFO' and continue to eke out a living under the name of 'AFO,' playing the same role as the former 'AFO' leader and ruler."

Similarly, anyone else who wants to become the new ruler and master will face an insurmountable obstacle—the current leader of the remnants of 'AFO'—that stands in their way.

Uraraka Shige glanced subconsciously at the empty glass, and pursed her lips...

He was thirsty again.

But he kept talking.

"Therefore, figuring out how to get rid of this guy has become a top priority in the eyes of many interested parties."

"What I hope you will do is help us investigate the remaining forces of 'AFO' in the shadows and share intelligence with each other."

"And if you can also establish cooperation with the 'United Front' and the 'Meta Liberation Army,' we can even achieve intelligence sharing among the four factions."

"In this way, by eliminating those few forces that are actually the largest but are mutually restraining and thus find it difficult to occupy that position, the three of you will have the greatest opportunity."

Uraraka Shige's words were very moving because they conveyed a benefit so vast that it would tempt anyone.

Chisaki Kai was no exception.

His ideal is to repay the company president and fundamentally eliminate the existence of 'heroes', thus correcting this society rife with 'Quirk'...

Simply put, it's because the club president has become extremely haggard due to being repeatedly pressured by the 'heroes'!

Therefore, his godson decided to cheer him up and make him stop looking haggard.

So this godson came up with a bold idea: to kidnap the president's granddaughter and experiment on her. He successfully used the president's granddaughter's bullets to permanently eliminate 'Quirk' and serums to restore 'Quirk'.

The aim of this experiment is to completely erase the "quirks" of all "heroes" and even all "Quirk" Quirk, thereby fundamentally destroying professional "heroes" and the "Quirk" society.

As for other byproducts in the experiment, such as some 'Quirk' enhancement drugs and 'Quirk' elimination (temporary) bullets, there's no need to mention them again.

At this moment, the benefits offered by Uraraka Shige's words were exactly what Chisaki Kai wanted, making it very difficult for Chisaki Kai to refuse.

Even so, the young master remained calm and seized upon several key points in Uraraka Shige's Uraraka Shige, asking him questions.

"...' Meta Liberation Army '? Didn't that organization disappear? And even if what you're saying is true, how can you guarantee that we can cooperate with 'Unity' and 'Meta Liberation' to form an alliance?"

It was the middle of the night and no one was around to unlock the door, so I ended up updating late...
