Fear!
The staff stared at him with expressions of shock. Most of them were retired heroes that had been active in the city-state of Nampur until retirement. They ranged from B-Class to C-Class Heroes.
Some of them indeed had a run-in with a fragment of the Contained Villain, having experienced the terrifying nature of the most fearsome villain to exist in their world.
But to date, the most they had faced was a small fragment, on the levels of C-Class Heroes. The stronger fragments had never been active around their city-state. For people like them, suddenly informing them that the source of all the problems in the world, a villain among villains, the Contained Villain himself had arrived was too much to endure.
Thud!
One of the C-Class Heroes fainted in response, but before he fell to the ground, a figure flashed behind him and caught him. It was Compass Carburettor.
