(3rd Person's POV)
Ichika who was looking at Mr. Yaoyorozu with squinted eyes after hearing his explanation about his involvement with the rebel group. He felt confused and disappointed at the same time upon hearing that he was just set-up by his business partners. He was just invited as a guess and he didn't know that it was a rebel's hideout. For Ichika, his explanation was unclear and doesn't connects the dot with the information that his organization gathered.
He can see some sweats dropping from Mr. Yaoyorozu's temple and he seems to be very anxious. He keeps checking the people around the room.
"That's all! I swear I don't have any involvement with the rebel group!"
"So, in other words, you didn't know that those weapon parts will be used for rebellion? You're saying that you were just set-up to take the blame?"
"Yes..."
Mr. Yaoyorozu's eyes can't look straight at him which Ichika noticed it.
Ichika felt being mocked and he became mad at him
"Do you think I'm that stupid?"
"..."
Mr. Yaoyorozu was silent.
Ichika sighed as he rest his back on his chair.
"Mr. Yaoyorozu, I'm an inventor and support item engineer of my company. I can already determine that those parts are precisely made and designed for weapons used only by the guerillas. There's no way that you didn't know that those parts are for the rebel army!"
"Huh..."
Mr. Yaoyorozu trembled after hearing Ichika's words.
"Also, if you have better reasons, why bring your family in that place? Unless... Huh?"
Ichika noticed that Mr. Yaoyorozu was breathing heavily and he broke down into tears.
*Thud!*
"Anyone! Please give him some glass of water!" Ichika ordered as he checks Mr. Yaoyorozu's condition.
Mr. Yaoyorozu bowed his head on the table in which surprised him.
"Please... Please spare my family! I'm the only one who did it! My family has nothing to do with this! It's all my fault!"
(Something is strange.) Ichika thought as he glanced at the old man who confirmed something from a phone call.
They decided to leave the room for the time being.
---
In the president's main office, Ichika just casually sits on top of the table as he took an apple from a gift basket and bit on it.
"Pfffffft!"
He spew it out.
"So sour!"
Wiping his mouth with his wrist.
"Anyway, where's Mera?"
Ichika asked the old man who's standing in front of him.
"He was sent to the Hospital due to severe abdominal pain."
"I told you guys that you shouldn't overwork him too much."
"Well, the commission is still understaff. We still need to hire some but due to the scandal, the government cut the budget of the commission. A lot of pro heroes are quiting already."
"Hahaha! Poor them."
"But, you're now banned from becoming Pro Hero in this country and that's something we can't manipulate for you."
"I know... because I have a villain record here in this country and I can't erase that anymore. The chaos I caused is still fresh from everyone's mind."
"..."
The old man was silent.
"Don't worry, I still have a way on becoming one and it is better than just being a pro hero around here."
Ichika smiled at him.
"Seriously, this kid..."
"Okay, back to the main topic! Did you find any information about his daughter's whereabouts?"
"It is as you guess, Falcon. We can't find her anywhere at their home or mansions. We just found out that she been missing for a week now."
"If her daughter was really kidnapped, everything make sense now."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll go and search for her by myself."
Ichika jumps down of the table.
"But we don't know her whereabouts? We should hire some Pro Heroes to rescue her."
"It's fine. I don't want to disturb their job of picking up the trash in a park."
"You're horrible. If they learned that you're the one who gave them that work, I'm sure they'll be really furious."
"Hahaha! That's why, please be quiet. They have to work hard to get back the trust of masses if they still want to continue being a Pro Hero."
"I see then good luck."
"Yeah, time is running out. I have to go. See ya, Master!"
Ichika uses the stones to teleport out of the building.
The old man sighs as he mumbled,
"If it's him, this mission will be swift even he's by himself." he walked out and left the room.
---
In a front of a certain residence, there was a middle-aged man who was quickly packing his things into his green car. He looks very nervous as he keeps looking around the area. When he found no people around, he sighs in relief as he felt safe.
"Okay, I'm done! I need to escape out of this city quickly before they found out!"
It seems he was in hurry.
He immediately went to the driver seat and started the car. Taking a deep breath, he fixed the position of his back mirror until he saw a black armor suit, sitting on the back of his car. He trembled in fear when someone suddenly appeared behind his back,
*Heavy Breathing~*
"Waaahh!!"
He screamed as he quickly opened the door but he was pulled back inside and the door closed. Trying to open it out of desperation, the door was locked and he can't open it.
"Waaahh! Somebody, help me!"
He keeps knocking the window.
"It's futile! There's no one around in this neighborhood to help you."
"No! Someone! Please help me!"
The man was really terrified.
"I haven't done anything yet. Why are you scared?"
"Please spare me!"
"I guess you can't take the guilt of kidnapping someone's daughter, huh? Mr. Gardener..."
*Heavy Breathing~*
"Please! I was just ordered by someone!"
"Then why did you do it? You serve the family for more than 15 years and they treat you like a family. Is this how you pay them back?"
"No! Please--Ugh... Ah..."
The black armor moved his left hand and used force choke on the man, making him unable to breathe.
"I find your lack of loyalty disturbing."
"Please..."
The man struggled and he slowly suffocates.
"Where did you brought her daughter?" The black armor can't tolerate the man as he asked him.
"Ugh! Yaoyorozu's... company... is facing... bankruptcy!"
Hearing that, the black armor immediately let go of him.
"Ugh... Aaah~"
The man was now able to breath in relief.
"The other companies are struggling with the same problem. This is because of the new rising corporation called the Yamagi Industries. They slowly took over a lot of businesses which made the rival companies loses profit. They struggled to cope up with their newest and latest technology. They even tried to copy them which ended up failing. No matter what they do, they can't figure out how was the technology made or work and it will take years of studies. It's like those technology are straight made out of fiction."
"Looks like you're fully informed. Then why did you have to kidnapped her daughter?"
"Because he refuse to support the rebels which formed by his fellow group of business leaders. With his matter manipulation quirk, he can almost create almost any non-living objects at the cause of stamina. If he just joined them and provide some arms to the rebel group, this wouldn't happen. Instead, he considered having a partnership with that massive corporation just because it has big ties with All Might. Of course, other business leaders won't let that happen and they quickly made a move which is kidnapping her daughter and threatened them. This force him and his family obey them to create weapons for their rebel group."
The black armor was slowly getting furious, hearing the information. He lit up his red beam saber and move it closer the man's neck as he spoke with threatening tone.
"Last question! Where did they brought her daughter? Try to lie and you will not live to regret it."
The man felt the intense heat of his weapon and he became more frightened for his life.
"Hie~ I'm sorry! I swear I won't lie! Please believe in me!"
He won't stop shaking his head in fear
"Answer!"
"Yes!!"
The man finally reveals the location of Mr. Yaoyorozu's daughter which is also main headquarters of the rebel group. The black armor knocked out the man and made him unconscious then he teleported away.
