All Might hesitated, realizing that while he was indeed incredibly powerful as the number one hero, heroes are only human, not gods, and there are many things they cannot do.

"Miss Eri is the granddaughter of the old master and the eldest daughter of the 'Shie Hassaikai.' The subordinate who sacrificed himself is considered to have covered up the matter out of loyalty to the organization, but to prevent such a thing from happening again..."

"The Shie Hassaikai has to take some action, and this is the research site to help Eri-san master her Quirk, but as you know, she's only 7 years old."

“Children cannot distinguish between good and evil. Our efforts for Miss Eri are perceived as harming and abusing her, so she often runs away from home, falsely claiming that we are doing bad things to her.”

Chisaki's words surprised All Might and the police. Was this guy lying?

"In short, you are free to investigate within the organization, and you can also ask other people whether what I said is true or not."

Chisaki's nonchalant, arms-crossed observation actually put All Might and the others in a difficult position. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, the police and heroes had lost their reason for taking action.

"All Might, leave the rest to us."

"Um........"

Officer Takunai's words forced All Might to back down, and the only option left was to have a professional investigate.

Inside the mansion, Izuku Midoriya and Eri were being held obediently by the kind older sister, while All Might and the others came out.

"All Might, how is it?"

Izuku Midoriya rushed over to ask, but All Might just shook his head helplessly in response.

Ignoring the astonished Midoriya, All Might walked up to the Wave Spiral and, bending down, asked in a gentle tone:

"Little Miss Huaili, can you tell me something?"

"Um......"

Seeing that it was a hero who often appeared on TV, even the villainous girl was not afraid and obediently nodded in agreement.

"After you came here...did someone touch you and disappear?"

All Might's words pierced Eri's heart like needles. She recalled what she had been through: a terrible man drawing her blood with a syringe. The brutal act caused Eri immense pain, and as she struggled, she suddenly felt a surge of heat throughout her body, followed by the sound of the syringe hitting the ground... and then the man vanished...

"Um......"

Eri's dejected reply, head bowed, made All Might cover his face with his hands, his head throbbing. He was now completely confused about what was really going on; the situation was almost exactly the same as what Chisaki had said.

All Might didn't know what the "Shie Hassaikai" was doing, nor did he know whether what Chisaki said was true or false, but there was only one thing he understood very well... This operation had failed.

Heroes and police officers must abide by the law; without evidence of each other's crimes, they cannot take action against the "Shie Hassaikai," and...

In the shadows, an evil figure has united all the underworld organizations that have been suppressed and weakened by heroes, waiting for the right moment to deliver a crushing blow to hero society.

This is the author's note (not counting words):

Note: ① Japanese yakuza organizations have the right to execute their own members. Even if someone is thrown into the sea in cement, the police have no right to interfere. Joining the yakuza is like selling your life.

② Organized crime has the right to engage in gray-market transactions, such as gambling, loan sharking, and adult videos. As long as it's not illegal business like arms smuggling or drug trafficking, the police won't bother them.

③ Organized crime groups can engage in turf wars, and as long as they do not endanger other innocent citizens, the police generally turn a blind eye.

Chapter 139 General

"Is that what they said...?"

"Well, Chisaki's reasons are quite valid. Now we can only make a decision after Officer Takunai finishes his investigation."

All Might's answer left Izuku Midoriya bewildered, and he lowered his head... He had no idea what was going on either.

"Little sister, do you know that those people really hurt you?"

The undulating spiral gently patted the little girl's head and asked softly:

"I don't know about the bad reason... The bad reason is very painful, very distressing..."

The little girl with her head down, just as Chisaki said, a seven-year-old child cannot subjectively distinguish between good and evil; she can only make judgments based on her own feelings.

At this moment, Inspector Takunai and Mirio Togata also came out of the mansion gate and joined All Might and the others, and what they learned at this moment was indeed not good news.

"No, we haven't found anything useful yet, but we've collected all the data from their experiments. We can only wait for the hospital's analysis results."

"Um......"

All Might could only accept this outcome. It was clear that the Shie Hassaikai had made preparations beforehand. Regardless of whether Chisaki was lying or not, they had no way to directly intervene in this matter.

"Heroes and police officers, have you finished your investigation? Can you return Miss Evil to us now?"

As Chisaki walked out of the mansion, he looked at All Might and the others with a cold expression, completely disregarding the "symbol of peace."

"Mr. Chisaki, the young master of the Shie Hassaikai, I have a question I'm curious about. Would you be willing to answer it?"

At this moment, instead of answering directly, Allmight asked a question.

"what's up?"

"The former head of the 'Shie Hassaikai,' and also Eri's maternal grandfather, we heard he's been unconscious for a while. May we go visit him?"

"......"

When All Might asked him a question, Chisaki fell silent. This rekindled Izuku Midoriya's hope. As expected of the hero he admired, he was always so reliable in crucial moments.

After Allmight found a breakthrough in Haruka's silence, he immediately pressed him for an answer:

"Is it because it's inconvenient? Or... is it because of some other reason that you've fallen into a coma!?"

"Then... come with me..."

As if resigned to his fate, Chisaki turned around and made a gesture to lead the way. All Might and Inspector Takunai immediately followed behind. Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata exchanged a glance and also followed All Might.

"Eri, let's go together."

The person they were going to visit was the old head of the "Shie Hassaikai" and also Eri's maternal grandfather. Bobo Rokugan hugged the little girl and followed along.

The former leader of the "Shie Hassaikai" fell into a coma some time ago, and then Chisaki, the young leader, took full control of the organization, which seems suspicious.

All Might directly planned to use Eri's grandfather as a breakthrough point. If he could find evidence that Chisaki had used improper means to make the old leader of the "Shie Hassaikai" unconscious, then the rest would be much easier.

After walking through the long corridor of the mansion, All Might and the others followed Chisaki to the backyard. This was a typical Japanese old house backyard, with a small pond and a stream, a good place to retire.

Just as he reached the Japanese-style partitioned room in the back of the house, Chisaki stopped and turned around, saying:

"We've arrived."

"Oh, is your old master here for quiet recuperation?"

All Might deliberately asked, but Chisaki turned his head away without answering, clearly not wanting to say anything more.

Chisaki's reaction was clearly very strange, and All Might felt that he had caught the guy red-handed. He directly pulled open the Japanese-style lattice door... However.

"Chisaki, what's the matter?"

All Might froze. Inside the Japanese-style room, an old man was brewing and drinking tea. He recognized the man from a photograph; he was the former head of the "Shie Hassaikai".

"Grandpa!"

Eri, who was being held by the undulating spiral, also recognized the old man as her mother's father and her adoptive grandfather.

"Chisaki, what's going on?!"

Seeing that All Might had brought such a large group of police officers, and that his granddaughter had also appeared in front of him, the old man immediately became very agitated.

"I'm sorry, team leader... Eri got lost, but in the end, it was the heroes and the police who brought her back. And now, Miss is talking about that situation again outside."

Chisaki knelt down in front of the old man, clearly looking remorseful for his failure, making everyone doubt their own eyes.

"You naughty brat, listen to your grandpa and cooperate with your uncles. Once your 'illness' is cured, you can live like a normal little girl."

"......"

All Might and the others remained silent. This sudden turn of events left everyone bewildered. Wasn't the old leader of the Shie Hassaikai supposed to be unconscious all along?

"I'm sorry, the team leader woke up a few days ago. He needs to rest and recuperate because he's not feeling well, so I'll be in charge of things within the organization."

Chisaki's words gave them the answer, and his attitude just now was completely like a resistance that didn't want the old boss to know that he had done a bad job, leaving no room for anyone to find fault with him.

The perplexing situation left All Might and the others completely speechless. Even Eri's grandfather woke up and said that the child was disobedient. Could it be that they had really made a mistake?

"Bad Li, come here to your grandfather quickly."

The kind old man who reached out to the little girl looked as if he hadn't seen his granddaughter in a long time, making one have to admit that it seemed to be just a scene of the little girl throwing a tantrum and running away from home.

All Might and the police were conflicted, Eri looked uneasy and afraid, Izuku Midoriya was worried about the little girl, while Chisaki coldly watched everything.

"No! I don't want to! You're not Grandpa, and I hate you!!"

Extremely resistant to the situation, she buried her face in the undulating spiral, not wanting to return to her grandfather's side at all.

"This child..."

The elderly man had a headache, and Chisaki took the opportunity to ask:

"Now, can you hand Miss Eri over to us? Have you investigated this matter thoroughly?"

The police and heroes were in a dilemma. They had witnessed everything firsthand. Even the old leader of the "Shie Hassaikai," Eri's grandfather, appeared to be awake, leaving no room for doubt.

"This...it seems Eri has had contact with members of the 'League of Villains,' and her personality is dangerous and unclear. We need to register her in detail, so for now, she will be cared for and looked after by the heroes and police."

When everyone was at a loss, Officer Takunai stepped forward and used bureaucratic language, saying that since everything was still unclear, they should just go through the procedures and buy time.

"........."

Officer Takunai's words left Chisaki and the old boss speechless. From a legal perspective, everything was done according to the rules, so they could only back down.

Leaving the mansion of the Shie Hassaikai, everyone sighed in silence... The situation was far too complicated, and they really couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Is bad reasoning... its fault?"

Eri lowered her head, heartbroken and wanting to cry. Her father had disappeared because of her... and her mother didn't want her anymore. After being adopted by her maternal grandfather, he also fell into a coma... and then she was cruelly treated by a group of terrible adults... having her blood drawn... having her flesh cut... saying they were doing some kind of research.

Each time, they would just wrap bandages around Eri to make do, and only that despicable villain with the bird-face mask could heal her, but Eri was in a lot of pain... it was really painful.

That's why she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to run away, wanting to find a hero's help like she saw on TV... Who can save Eri!

Eri was terrified and ran away... She entered a strange black door and met some kind older brothers and sisters who were not only very kind to her but also took her out to play.

Later, the older brother brought along the police and heroes. Together they went to the place that Eri was afraid of, and prepared to find a way to arrest all the bad guys.

But adults are very cunning... That guy deceived the hero and the police with lies, preventing the law of justice from being applied to him.

The police officers and heroes were at a loss, everyone was in a dilemma... They couldn't believe the words of a 7-year-old girl, and her words couldn't be used as evidence to bring the bad guys to justice. Now, all they could do was back down.

She is indeed still young... just a 7-year-old girl. She doesn't know what is right and wrong... she can't judge what is good and evil... but she can experience it firsthand.

She knew that her older brother and sister genuinely wanted to help her, and that those who caused her so much pain must also be bad people.

Tears fell, and the little girl cried silently. One hand reached out to wipe away her tears, while the other gentle hand was placed on Eri's head.

"Big brother...?"

"I believe in evil principles, and I will definitely protect you!"

It was only then that Izuku Midoriya understood something: why that guy from the League of Villains he encountered at the amusement park had left him with that message.

"Midori-kun, only you can save this child!"

It seems quite obvious that the "League of Villains" are after him again!

--------------

"Have the heroes and police officers left?"

"They've already left..."

The conversation taking place in the Japanese-style room in the backyard of the old house was between the old head of the "Shie Hassaikai" and Chisaki. After learning that the hero and the police had left, the old man stretched in a very girlish manner.

"Honestly, why did I have to play an old man?"

"You guys from the 'League of Villains,' show some respect to your team leader!!"

"Huh?"

At Chisaki's angry shout, the old man became more interested and lay down to stare at Chisaki. His face seemed to melt away like liquid and transform into another face, which was none other than Toga Himeko.

"Didn't you personally turn your team leader into a coma and a vegetable?"

"......"

Chisaki, who did not answer, had no choice but to continue down this wrong path after taking his first wrong step.
