The children lined up and happily left after receiving colorful balloons from the teddy bear dolls... Children are easily satisfied; even a small balloon can bring a smile to their faces.
While waiting in line, Midoriya received a red balloon from a staff member dressed as a teddy bear mascot when it was his turn.
"Is it that little girl who wants it?"
"Ok!"
The teddy bear staff pointed to Eri, who was sitting on the bench with an expectant look on her face, and asked her a question. Izuku Midoriya honestly replied that it wasn't a big deal.
"She looks really good now. When I first saw her... her face was full of despair and helplessness."
"What!?"
The moment the teddy bear staff member said that, Izuku Midoriya immediately became alert.
"Midori-kun, only you can save this child!"
"The League of Villains!?!"
Once he realized what was happening, Izuku Midoriya immediately took action. His right arm instantly transformed into a steel wire and wrapped around the teddy bear doll in front of him, but the result was unexpected.
The teddy bear fell apart and landed on the ground, but the person inside was gone, clearly having disappeared and escaped.
"!!!"
"What's going on?!"
"Midori-kun!"
The sudden event caused Yue Shanyou and Ochako, who were standing on a bench in the distance, to run over immediately, while Midoriya silently squatted down to check the teddy bear costume.
"He got away..."
At this moment, Izuku Midoriya could roughly determine who the guy inside the teddy bear doll was. It was probably the man named Kurokiri from the League of Villains who brought Eri to him.
...............
Their happy amusement park trip was ultimately cut short. The appearance of the League of Villains forced Midoriya and his friends to take Eri away from there, and their plan to make the child happy was ruined.
Inside the police station, All Might and Nighteye arrived, and the message conveyed by Miriam had forced them to take it seriously.
Eri is accompanied by the undulating spiral. She is now cooperating with the police officers in their investigation, as the officers need to learn everything from this little girl.
In another room, Izuku Midoriya, Mirio Togata, All Might, and Nighteye were all together, discussing the situation with each other.
Midoriya told the others what he had learned from Eri, and All Might and Mirio Togata looked very upset. They couldn't bear to see a little girl suffer such a tragedy.
"This isn't as simple as it seems... Midoriya, you said you encountered that guy called Kurogiri, right?"
Nighteye adjusted his glasses, putting everything together in his mind, and felt that this might present a very difficult problem.
"Hmm... It seems like that guy deliberately brought bad ideas to me. I wonder what he's planning."
"Is that so...?"
The more Nighteye thought about the situation, the more worried he became, as if the future he had envisioned was gradually approaching.
"No matter what, I will never tolerate such a thing happening!"
"That's right! Otherwise, the name of a hero would be crying."
All Might and Mirio's resolute words reassured Izuku Midoriya considerably... "The Symbol of Peace" and "Million" will surely protect Eri's sister.
Meanwhile, on Eri's side, the investigation went surprisingly smoothly, and they found out Eri's detailed identity and her current family members.
Officer Takunai, who is in charge of the "League of Villains" incident, is also responsible for coordinating with All Might regarding Eri's case, as Eri's situation is related to the "League of Villains".
"After intensified investigations by other colleagues, we have uncovered the true situation of this little girl named Eri."
In the office, Officer Takunai told Midoriya and the other three about the situation.
"Eri's Quirk is extremely dangerous. It seems she was touched by her father when her Quirk was awakening, and it's said that her father completely disappeared... Judging from the situation, her father is probably dead."
"How could this be?!"
Midoriya's eyes widened suddenly. He remembered what Eri had said not long ago, "Dad disappeared... Mom doesn't want her anymore..." Was this what she meant...?
"Now for the important part: Eri's mother was the daughter of the head of the 'Shie Hassaikai.' After Eri's father disappeared, her mother sent Eri to live with him."
"In other words, Eri is currently being cared for by her maternal grandfather, the head of the 'Shie Hassaikai'."
Officer Takunai's words made everyone present think deeply, and Allmight asked a question:
"You mean to say that Eri was used as material by her maternal grandfather for illegal experiments?"
That's not the case.
Officer Takunai shook his head and corrected his reply:
"As far as we know, the head of the Shie Hassaikai has been in a coma for some time and is currently being controlled by a young master named Chisaki."
"So that's what that guy did!?"
Officer Tsurugi nodded in confirmation of Tongxing Baiwan's words, and he said seriously:
"I have now issued a search warrant and will be conducting a thorough search of the 'Shie Hachisaikai.' I hope you will accompany me."
"no problem!"
All Might gave a thumbs-up in confirmation, and now it was time for him to fulfill his duties as a hero: to beat down any enemy who dared to resist.
Izuku Midoriya was relieved... The heroes and police were about to take action, and everyone would work together to rescue Eri from her predicament.
--------------
In the dark room, all·for·one looked at the black mist that had just appeared out of nowhere and asked:
"Have you taken care of things?"
"Yes, teacher, that man will obediently do as you say."
The black mist's response only caused a terrifying smile to appear on all·for·one's face.
"That was inevitable. Without my help, he would only face the arrest of heroes and the trial of the law, but..."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing... when the law, which is supposed to be justice, becomes an obstacle, I bet All Might's expression will be priceless!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The maniacal laughter of "all for one" is the abyss that leads Izuku Midoriya down a path of no return, and also the moment when self-righteous heroes are thoroughly humiliated.
Chapter 136 "The Eightfold Abode of the Dead"
After the police station investigated Eri's case, they immediately issued a search warrant and sent All Might and "Million" to assist in the investigation at the "Shie Hassaikai".
Ochako, Yuu Tsukuyama, and Akira Hatsume went back to school ahead of schedule, as ordered by All Might in his capacity as a teacher at U.A. High School. The three of them were not allowed to participate in what followed.
Spiral and Mirio are both members of U.A. High's Big Three. They are already very mature students, almost ready to become top-tier professional heroes upon graduation. Therefore, she was left behind to take care of Mirio's younger sister.
As for Izuku Midoriya, not only is he determined to go with her to find out what happened to Eri, but All Might is also worried about letting him go back alone... The League of Villains has clearly already begun to take action.
Once the search warrant was issued, there was no time to lose. The people gathered at the police station headed straight for the city of the "Shie Hassaikai". At the same time, they had Eri hugged by the wobble, as she was an important witness.
The "Shie Hachisaikai" is a yakuza organization in Japan. Although the term "yakuza" sounds unpleasant, in Japan, yakuza organizations are legal entities.
The Japanese Yakuza have long been recognized by the government as legal organizations, and we will introduce some relevant information below.
In the chaotic era of the explosion of "individuality," many people relied on their strong personalities to form gangs and commit evil deeds, but there were also many people with conscience who formed associations to fight against evil.
Those who receive help from such organizations refer to them as "Yonkyō-gumi" (侠組織, literally "knight-errant organizations") within the Japanese underworld.
In an era when heroes were scarce, the government was weak and incompetent, and criminal enemies were rampant, most social order was maintained by "chivalrous organizations."
However, although they are called "heroic organizations", their true nature as underworld organizations has not changed, and their methods of fighting each other are naturally quite cruel.
But compared to the present day... in those chaotic times, making an example of someone to deter others, or killing someone to quell the chaos, was perfectly normal.
As time passed and eras changed... the world's chaotic "individuality" gradually came to an end, Japan gradually returned to peace, and finally...
With the arrival of the Age of Heroes, heroes led by All Might created a peaceful society, Japan's crime rate was brought down to its lowest point, and the government's control gradually strengthened.
In modern society, the criminal gangs that used to commit crimes have long been eliminated and dismantled by heroes and the police. However, the criminal gangs that used to act as "chivalrous heroes" have a very high reputation among the people, so the Japanese government had to back down.
The Japanese government has enacted laws that allow organized crime groups to exist legally, to legally conduct shady business transactions, and to have the private power to execute members of the organization.
However, criminal activities are prohibited; otherwise, the individual will be classified as an enemy organization and dealt with accordingly.
Therefore, in this day and age, the legitimate businesses controlled by organized crime groups include kabuki theaters, casinos, loan sharking, and so on—a series of gray-area businesses that, in reality, cannot be considered criminal.
Furthermore, criminal organizations often cooperate with the police to arrest criminals and enemies, effectively maintaining security in their territories and surrounding areas, and overall assisting the police in their work.
However... with the arrival of the Heroic Age, young people all dream of becoming heroes, so who would still think about becoming a gangster?
Finally, in the era when Izuku Midoriya was born, the once "Yakuza" yakuza organization gradually weakened... Without young blood to replenish it, it might perish in less than two generations.
The "Shie Hassaikai" is a chivalrous yakuza organization. The old leader has a high reputation in the local city, and the local citizens also have a certain goodwill towards the "Shie Hassaikai". However, the young people dream of becoming heroes and do not think about going to do anything in the underworld.
Like most yakuza organizations, the "Shie Hassaikai" is gradually disappearing...
Chisaki, the young master of the Shie Hassaikai, was adopted by the old master when he was an orphan and has grown up in this yakuza organization ever since.
Chisaki has a very deep affection for the home where he grew up. He willingly stained his hands with blood and, as a cleaner, ruthlessly eliminated all the enemies of the "Shie Hassaikai".
Chisaki's actions earned him the admiration of all the members of the Shie Hassaikai. The old leader was also very satisfied with him and appointed Chisaki as the young leader, giving him his position whenever the time came.
All of this seemed wonderful, but Chisaki was not satisfied... Now was the age of heroes, and the future of yakuza organizations was bound to decline. He was unwilling for the "Shie Hassaikai" to end in his hands, but he was not yet capable enough to rebel against the whole society.
Eri was given to the old master for adoption. Because her personality awakening caused her father to disappear completely, her mother abandoned her daughter in grief and anger, and let Eri's maternal grandfather adopt her.
At this moment, when Chisaki learned about the old master's granddaughter's "Quirk," he saw hope in his eyes...
------------------
"Young Master, the police are here."
"I see......"
In the inner hall of the "Shie Hassaikai", a man wearing a medieval doctor's bird-beak mask waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates. His expression was calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever.
By this time, the police had surrounded the "Shie Hassaikai" and All Might and his men were standing in front of the door. If anyone inside dared to resist, they would face the iron fist of the No. 1 hero.
"Didn't Mr. Nighteye come?"
Midoriya watched as Hadouken-senpai comforted Eri, telling her not to be afraid. There were only police officers and people around, and he didn't see Nighteye. So he asked Mirio Togata, who was standing next to him, about it.
"The gentleman said that something was very wrong this time and he immediately went back to the firm to investigate."
"Is it......"
Midoriya also felt that this incident was very strange, but he could not tolerate the situation that Eri had suffered, and he had to seek justice for this little girl.
"The situation is somewhat uncertain, whether it's good or bad..."
"what happened?"
Meanwhile, Officer Allmight and Officer Takuna took the lead in searching for the "Shie Hassaikai".
"The young master of the 'Shie Hassaikai' saw the police search warrant and immediately agreed to our request to conduct the search. I felt something was wrong..."
"Don't worry, once we're inside, I'll have 'Million' infiltrate and we'll definitely be able to catch them red-handed."
All Might patted his old friend on the shoulder to reassure him. As the number one hero, he had dealt with enemies for so many years, what kind of cunning guys hadn't he seen?
In such situations, one should outwardly go through the motions with a smile... but secretly search for evidence, and arrest anyone found that is even slightly suspicious.
"That's right, the young master of the 'Shie Hassaikai' will be out soon."
As soon as Officer Takunai finished speaking, the door to the Shie Hassaikai mansion opened, and a man wearing a bird-face mask walked out. He was none other than Chisaki, the young master of the Shie Hassaikai.
Chisaki glanced at the police surrounding the mansion, then his eyes locked onto his target: Eri, whom the wobble-like spiral was holding.
"You're so disobedient! Not only did you run away secretly, but you also brought so many police officers with you. Your grandfather will be angry!"
Chisaki's smiling face made him look like a kind older brother, which stunned everyone.
However... only Huai Li kept her head down and mouth tightly shut, her small hands gripping the undulating spiral of her clothes, too afraid to speak.
"Don't be afraid..."
A hand reached out and covered the little girl's head. Eri looked up and saw Izuku Midoriya's smile. He said earnestly:
"Heroes and police officers, we're all here to help you!"
