Chapter 33: Discussion
At the Sakura headquarters of America.
Aizawa and the Silver Knight were sitting face to face, and Lady Butterfly was restless.
Inside the grand lobby, about a dozen people dressed in Western attire and with sakura petal-shaped tattoos on their ears were standing against the wall.
Aizawa was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and the assistant girl next to him opened the ten boxes. Hundreds of dollars were stacked inside.
"If you drop the case now, I will pay you ten million dollars."
The silver warrior shook her head. He also imitated Aizawa, sat on her feet and patted her two thighs with his hands. Her legs were already sore from running all the way to the meeting. In fact, Madana had already been warned by her housekeeper.
"Young Miss, this human's heart is beating fast. It looks like he wants to kill Young Miss. See yakuza over there?they have guns under their coats."
Madana regrets having made her artificial intelligence so intelligent. Lately, she started talking all day long. And she still doesn't seem satisfied with her physical body.
'It's like a doll that adults play with. The chest is made of cheap silicone.' Madana even think to delete the programs to shut her out.
"Mr. Aizawa, you seem to misunderstand us. We are not suing you because we want money. We just want justice."
Aizawa clapped his hands in frustration. About a dozen more yakuza came in, carrying forty more boxes of cash.
"I'll give you another fifty million..."
Lady Butterfly's eyes widened as she had never seen so much cash. Only Madana remained calm.
'Huh... Even if I sell one design, I get sixty million. You only pay fifty million to buy your life?' This bastard Aizawa is involved in many murders and drugs. she is sure he'll get a lot of jail time. If not, the death penalty.
Madana clapped her hands as if she had tried hard.
"Mostly, but because that money can bring dead people back to life?"
"You..." Aizawa pulled out a short sword from his shirt and started to throw it at Madana. However, Madana's right hand came up and threw a series of electric shock rings.
Aizawa's hand was sealed by the electric ring, and his mutant power was already blocked.
"Uh oh... Mr. Aizawa is A rank mutant and can truly threaten us. Unfortunately, I'm also strong." The machine gun she bought came out from behind the suit and put it on Aizawa's head.
"You guys put your weapons back. Do you want to your boss to be dog food?"
All of the yakuza who had been aiming their guns since Madana's move panicked and put their guns away.
Madana took the gun back. Aizawa is still electrified.
"Amy, did you see it?" Madana turned the speaker off so that no one else could hear it, and spoke to her artificial intelligence in the suit. Due to the technical requirements, they are still unable to communicate by mind.
"Well...When Young Miss was about to shoot that guy, and the dust gathered in the secretary's hand. It looked like a bullet. Even if it couldn't break through our armor with B-level power, it would be able to make a big dent.
"So she's the killer we're looking for, sent the evidence to Linda."
"Yes." At the same time, Linda gets a message from the police van waiting for them outside the headquarters. Kevin and Cloud were with Linda.
A file listing a Japanese girl's passport documents and suspicious crimes she appears to have committed in the past. Also a short video of how to assemble the ground bullet.
"Aoi Kamiya, 23 years old. Deputy leader of the Sakura gang. Although the official evidence says she is not a mutant, she has earth powers and has been found to have used the same powers in at least 12 unexplained murders. She was orphaned when she was a child and adopted by the Yamaguchi family. She has been following Aizawa since he was 15 years old, despite his family's hopes of becoming a hero but he has some bad reputation in Japan "
After reading it aloud, Linda gave a thumbs up to the two policemen.
"Let's get a warrant for his arrest. Silver Knight said that before we can handcuff Aizawa, we have to handcuff his deputy first."
In addition to being a Japanese citizen, Aizawa is from a powerful family. Although he has been charged, he will still be released on bail even though he is being held under suspicious circumstances. But his underlings are different. As Aizawa, he is powerless to help his underlings when he is in trouble himself.
In the elevator. Medana finally sighed and leaned her hand on the elevator wall.
"Oh gosh... because you got the first hand... otherwise, if Young Miss fight Aizawa with the current power, you will."
Even though Madana has upgraded her suit, it's only slightly more powerful than B-level. If she challenge someone in A rank, she won't even know how she will die.
As for Lady Butterfly, she could no longer pose and fell limp, so Madana grabbed her and hung her.
"Sir Silver Knight, it's not easy for me to get out of here without you. I can only agree to what they say."
Lady Butterfly only has C-rank power. As a hero, there is nothing she can do.
"Margrat, you have to be careful these days. They're the kind of guys who will use rough methods if they don't get what they want."
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency is watching the Sakura gang, but they can't keep an eye on it for 24 hours. Madana wants to protect this journalist heroine, but even she herself is in danger.
"Well..." Lady Butterfly nodded. Madana is looking up with folded hands. In her mind...
'Stupid girl, Did you respond when I just called you Margrat? How can you be careless like this?' Thinking of this, Madana also gave her an address card.
"If you think you're being followed, just go to that address. Even if no one's home, break in. There's someone you can trust inside."
Sure enough, the address on the address card is Sofia. If Madana is in trouble herself, the only person who can help Margrat is Sofia.
"Uh...thanks." Lady Butterfly looked tenderly at Madana. Then the elevator stopped and the door slowly opened.
Lady Butterfly looked at Madana one last time and exited the elevator. Madana contacted Amy.
"Amy, I hacked her phone. Keep an eye on her constantly. If anything unusual, let me know right away."
"Yes, please."
....
"Eh...." Aizawa threw away all the money boxes on the table and threw down the large glass chair. The big glass stand was broken, and some of the glass was planted in his hand.
"Aizawa-sama..."
"That M-Oh... Silver Knigh didn't even put my money in his eyes."
Fifty million is an amount that is not easy to earn for a typical American household. So quite a lot. Even though Aizawa's company is worth billions, the money they can give during the current crisis is not much. Even now, the amount is the maximum amount that can be given at the moment.
"I have to kill that C rank guy with my hands."
"If the master kills him, Polices will know it's our action. And Master's hand is..."
The secretary girl removed the glasses from Aizawa's hand and took out the bandages and medicine in the first aid kit that a member had brought. After a while, a member of the team came with a sad face.
"Sir... In front of the office, there are people from the Mutant Department. They have an arrest warrant."
"What..."
Aizawa's flowing blood turned into some cherry blossoms.
"Do these guys want to catch me?"
All members are ready. However, the secretary girl intervened.
"Aizawa-sama, it's easy to kill them. But a country's Mutant authorities are the most important officials. If you kill them, master will become a villain. Then there will be no way to clear things up."
"So what do I do?" Aizawa frowned.
"Get them in and talk to them calmly. Whatever happens, face it calmly. If there's no way, we'll have to face it."
...
Two Mutant officers handcuffed Aoi. It was not an ordinary handcuff but a biological handcuff that could control the powers of the mutant. Even the S ranks couldn't resist that handcuff.
"Thank you for your cooperation. If our inspectors have thoroughly checked and found no guilt, we will release Miss Aoi. Allow me."
From start to finish, Aizawa looked at the two officers with big red eyes. America's Mutant officials are not weak. They were the best, and even these two, who were only local officers, were at the B+ level. If they really attacked, even A-rank Aizawa couldn't immediately defeat those two with modern mutant weapons. If the reinforcements arrive, there is only death to do.
Aizawa also doesn't want Aoi to be arrested easily. But that girl...
"This country is not Japan, so don't start fighting a country to put yourself in danger, sir. I don't care about being arrested."
Is a person like him ignorant of America's prison and inspection issues? A criminal who has committed such a crime will not have the same human rights as ordinary criminal. Especially those who commited murders.
Aizawa himself is not sure how many Aoi killed people. Since Aoi was fifteen years old, she has served as his bodyguard and confidant. Aoi doesn't complain about anything he asks, and even helps in dirty matters. Aizawa has a stronger bond with Aoi than a normal underling.
"How dare you...." Aizawa shouted angrily after the two officers left.
"If you let these guys go like this, you'll end up handcuffing me too. Ichigo..."
"Yes, sir."
A young man with a scar on his face, who was the most reliable after Aoi, came forward.
"Don't we know the reality of the girl who came with the Silver Knight? Kidnapped her. I can't believe the Silver Knight didn't come to save her."
They have known the reality of Margrat for a long time. Aoi told him not to move too quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have let her go like this. Now that Aoi has been arrested, he decides to face the Silver Knight and make him pay. Even if he take risks of being arrested in the end, Aoi can't be hurt.
"Make that bitch drop the case and I'll get you back out of hell."
...
near New York City; At John F. Kennedy International Airport.
A handsome young boy and fatty young boy with walked out of the arrivals gate separately.
Lucan De Arc, a handsome young man, still had a lot to deal with at the airport as he held the new Zect metal sword in his hand. He still had to show his Paris Hero Association membership card because the people at the gate were checking him, thinking he was a bad guy. It turned out to be a real nine-handed sword master who never kept his sword six inches away from his body.
Frank Van Buro from Germany was holding a large chocolate bar sold at the airport in his hand and reading the news on his phone on the other hand.
"Hahaha... The one named Silver Knight is interesting. He sued Aizawa and is about to win. That's a good thing. If we sneaks into Sakura's lab now, they won't notice us."
"This case has a big chain. Faraday isn't the only one with Aizawa. This guy is also in contact with the Mutant Science Group. We have to be careful. The Mad Doctor is not easy to face."
Lucan is always a cautious person. After he warned Frank, he left the airport. Frank had to run after him, avoiding the huge crowd of people.
"Hey, don't walk so fast, wait for me."
...
At John F. Kennedy Airport again.
A 12-year-old girl with long blonde hair, puffy cheeks, was glaring angrily at the immigration elder sister at the airport.
"London?... Did you really come alone from England? Are you sure you didn't come on the wrong plane. Where is your parents?"
"I'm the head of the Pendragon Family, and you are treating me like a child. Really, you guys shouldn't be at the airport."
The elder sister of the airport staff didn't listen to Loli's words, but knelt down next to her and held the girl's shoulder and asked her carefully.
"Are you okay... Shall this sister call the police? Do you remember your home phone number? Didn't you run away from your home?"
"I'm... I'm coming out on my own accord. Listen to me carefully. I'm Viscount Fralita of the Pendragon family. I've come to New York on business."
The older sister seemed to think that she was talking to the girl. Immediately, she called the superior officer on the airport staff radio.
"Officer. There's a strange girl here trying to get through the arrival gate without her parents."
"Heard, I'll come."
"Hey... you guys.. listen carefully to what I'm saying here..." The British loli was having a bad day again.
