Chapter 20: Do You Think I'm Stupid?
The Fox News building is quite famous in New York. It is a square high-rise twin tower, and the bottom is decorated with smart brown pillars.
Madana was now dressed in a large silver warrior suit and stood longingly by the side of the building.
"I'm sorry, what kind of news agency? They didn't even provide a place to sit outside."
She wouldn't want to go near the station if it wasn't to see Margaret Sora, the evening news anchor on the address card Lady Butterfly gave her. Now Silver King is a famous hero of New York. Although he is a B- now, the townspeople only know him as a C-rank. But his popularity is now even with the B+ Vice Presidents of the New York Association.
Sometimes a hero's popularity is not directly proportional to a hero's power. The Boing Girl, who recently became a full-fledged hero from being a hero trainee, is a C-rank, but Usaki's news was even covered by her beautiful form and super sexy body. And that thicc hero is his high school classmate Melly. The Sesame-brown haired girl with big thicc, is not easily forgotten.
He and Melly are not that close while they are in school. So She might think him as extra.
Silver Knight's appearance in front of Fox News immediately caused a stir. A few reporters even approached him, but Madana ignored them and stood on the ground like Queen Elizabeth's royal guards.
Before late, a young woman with long brown hair and an active manner came out of the building. She looks to be in her twenties. In other words, Min Lwin and she were the same age before he changed into Madana. In her hand, she held a box containing old files. Someone who seemed to be in charge was still yelling at her from behind.
"Go to work where you like, as long as you don't find us a problem."
'Ah... Did this girl lose her job?' When the girl saw him standing in front of the news station, she waved her hand.
"Ah...hi sir SilverKnight...have you come to see me?"
...
They came to a park.
The girl gave Madana a glass of orange juice. She didn't seem to mind the matter of losing her job at all.
"So you're the anchor Margaret?"
"Well... now the news anchor title is gone."
"How did you know I will come to meet you?" Medana asked with full doubt. In fact, she had been doubting since the girl had come before him. Lady Margart's body proportions were exactly the same as lady Butterfly. It's not what she think, but his suit system confirmed.
[Info: Margaret Sora.
Age: 21
Blood type: O
Occupation: Fox News; The youngest evening news anchor.
Mutant Power: Unregistered
Warning: Same body proportions as Lady Butterfly.]
By the way, Madana is very interested in hacking and copying police records right now. One should even say it's her hobby. So anyone data can be checked by her system.
"I'm in touch with Lady Butterfly." Margrat took out her old phone. An email from Lady Butterfly sent a text to Margrave's email about her arrival. But Medana is a technology specialist. She know that the IP address used by both emails are the same.
'It's not like this girl is DID. Is she texting herself and coming to see me?' But Madana no longer expresses her assumption that Lady Butterfly and Margrat are same. She let the girl go.
"Actually, Lady Butterfly and I have known each other for a long time. She used to send me news that people didn't know before. That's why I became successful so quickly."
Margrave tells stories and stories about her meeting with the superhero Lady Butterfly. None of it is true, but it's good to hear. The news from the political world, which is covered with gold dust on the surface, Dark news behind big businessmen. There are a lot of things Margrat revealed. After being invited to the TV programs, the actors were identified. The bravest reporter, Everyone identified her as a best news anchor. But...
The Sakura Corporation case was more than Lady Butterfly could help. Her power really wasn't enough. It's also not convenient for other heroes to ask for help. She can't believe that many heroes are following the money. So she turned to Silver Knight for help.
"We already have evidences for witness intimidation, witness tampering, drugs, and all the other things they've committed. What we don't have are witnesses. No one dares to tell the truth."
"You mean I have to be a witness."
"And to protect witnesses." The girl continued to talk about the witnesses. Uncle from the Waste Site is also a witness. He was the first to see the quality inspector dead when he was near the collapsed building of Sakura Corporation.
In fact, he saw a lot more than the dead body, he saw the killer. Not sure though. It was a black haired woman wearing a ghost mask, who could use earth power and killed officer using stone spikes.
Madana also got this news from Margrat, so she rummaged through the police records.
[Building Quality Inspection Officer, William Almond. He was stabbed in the chest with a sharp object, and died by hitting his heart.]
Madana's system showed a police crime scene of a fifty-year-old municipal officer with a hole in his chest and blood pouring from it. In the police report, it is considered that the nail may have fallen from a height accidentally and the nail was implanted in the chest, but according to the witness Uncle, it was murder.
In fact, the Sakura Gang had eliminated many witnesses, but they had forgotten the Uncle, who was just an ordinary security guard. Uncle did not open up to the police. Lady Butterfly, who was too suspicious, said she would protect him, so she could ask. But with her power, Lady Butterfly can't protect the guard uncle.
"You're a journalist, aren't you? Let's make it public through your news agency."
Isn't Margrat always doing this? Margrat shook his head.
"This time is different. Even if I penned an article from another journal that said they were bad, I lost my job as a news anchor and reporter."
"When did the Fox belong to the Sakura Gang?"
"They don't own it, but the issues with the underground world are different from other commercial exploitation. They are afraid."
Madana finally decided to protect the witnesses, Uncle and Margrat. Anyway, she herself was already interested in investigating the Sakura gang. It's just a clue.
"Then we're going to file a lawsuit in court. Do you have anything recorded in Sir Silver Knight's suit? The record of the attack we involved that day must also be submitted as evidence."
"I see... and don't be too bold. I'm stronger than you, but I'm not without competition." Medana patted Margrat on the shoulder and left.
"Well..." Margrat also nodded. Only then did she realize that she was wrong, and she stood there dumbfounded. Then her face became bold. 'The kind of face that says my secret has been revealed.'
"Damn, I underestimated the Silver Knight. I'll be more careful next time."
Madana doesn't blame Margrat for being an unlicensed hero as Lady Butterfly. Is not herself an unlicensed hero? She is just worried about the strength of Margrat. If someone powerless like Margrat become unlicensed hero, it can be a problem. She left some of her power on Margrat's phone, So she can watch her at any time.
...
Madana stopped going to school at all. Instead, she's patrolling the city, running around in a big suit. But because she had heart set on getting her degree, She told to school she had a car accident and decided to transfer to distance learning for the rest of the semester. Madana was transferred from school immediately because she was on medical leave. And to make it even more pathetic, the doctor was bribed with more than one hundred thousand dollars and asked to write about her condition. But when the prescription came out, Madana herself wanted to forget her mistake.
[one kidney damaged, Impotent. Both legs are broken. Uncertain to be able to walk again. She had to have a steel rod put in because of a broken back bone. The liver must be cut out. She can die at any time. Photo/ Dr. Gurgyi.]
'WTF... the one who was injured that much, will he survive?'
....
And so it was late in the evening. From her crime watch system comes a news that has been talked about on Twitter. Queens Township, A grocery store near Ozone Park was burglarized. No one was hurt, but the burglar was probably a starving mutant, and the power was probably C rank. Police closed the road and cordoned off the grocery store because mutant could cause problems. Despite the loud noises, the heroes did not come. The heroes seem to have no interest in coming, assuming it's just a normal disturbance.
"these idiots. What if that mutant is a villain and kills an entire neighborhood?"
Madana also cursed the heroes of the New York and immediately ran to that place.
When she arrives, three police cars and four police-friendly robots surround the burglarized grocery store. A policewoman, who appeared to be a police officer, was holding a loudspeaker and talking to the mutant inside.
"Come out with your hands up, don't do anything stupid."
A weak girl's voice came from inside. "I'm just eating because I'm hungry, I didn't mean to. I'll leave when I'm full."
"But... burglarizing a grocery store is a crime."
Madana stopped running and slowly walked toward the police. The three police robots turned to look at him. Then a police noticed and questioned him.
"Show me your identity, hero."
asked the chubby, balding police officer, examining the gun at his waist. Madana also raised his hands...
"I'm the Silver Knight. I came here because I heard something was going on."
"WTH... The unlicensed C rank hero we've been waiting for has arrived?"
"Thank goodness he just arrived. There's no way we could pull the girl out with ours D-ranked police robots."l
The blonde haired and blue eyed police spoke. The police, Tisan, don't seem too ecstatic.
"Oh, Kevin...you're quite the optimist. What's the point of many heroes besides pretending to be stupid?"
Madana ignored them and walked over to the female police officer.
"Officer...can you explain the situation inside?" Medana asked with folded hands. The shape of a silver warrior with a big sword attached to his back is very cool. The police officer girl looked back.
"Oh...Finally, a hero has arrived. There were no injuries other than the shop owner's grandmother ran away in a panic. We don't know the person inside. It could have been an unregistered homeless person."
She think the officer was about twenty-five years old. She has a very active and steady face. She has dark gray eyes. The face is long and smooth, and the forehead is neither too wide nor too wide. With dark hair and eyebrows, her look is really smart. Long brown hair gathered in a ponytail. She can say that she is tall as a girl because she is five feet eight inches tall. Although she is beautiful, she is not a gentle girl.
When there was no answer from inside, the police officer shouted again.
"Girl Inside, will you come out or shall we come in?"
"Polices!... I have a hostage. Please don't come in..."
"There is a hostage!?..."
All the police are in a state of alertness. All are ready to go inside. As for Madana, looking at the infrared light added to the suit...
"No... She's the only one inside. And her body is much lower than a normal person's heat."
"How do you know?" Madana puffed out his chest at the officer's words. What he wanted to say was because of the suit. In fact, her suit had been scouting the status of the mutant inside for a long time. But the information that appears is really not enough.
[Unidentified transformation Mutant.
Level: Unknown.] That's all. It may be because the scene is not clear and there is no record.
"Sir Silver Knight, that's our problem. The Mutant inside doesn't show any aggression, but she's already committed a crime. We want to arrest her, but she's a Mutant. Even if she's a D rank, she might be a problem for us. Can you go and talk her out of it?"
"Good idea, Captain. Leave this task to me. I'll go in."
After looking at the number of stars on the officer's shoulder, Madana realized she was a captain. Maybe it could be a police officer of Queens Township. Like a camp commander. Madana waved goodbye to the three policemen and their stupid robots and walked straight to the small shop.
