I admired heroes but became a villain

"Don't you think this is a bit too much?"

Eva, who was leaning against the door of the conference room, looked at Guo Linglong who closed the door and couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, I didn't inflict a fatal injury. On the contrary, the more seriously injured he is, the better, in front of this video."

Guo Linglong tapped the pinhole camera on her chest and chuckled, "After all, it won't be long before what's filmed here spreads all over the world. When people see that he can't be stopped despite fighting so hard, it's hard for them to blame him for anything."

"No wonder even Saitama has to flee when facing you."

The corners of Eva's mouth twitched a little as she said, "To be honest, I thought you were going to break in and kill people."

"Beheading is indeed a useful method, but it would kill too many people."

Guo Linglong rolled her eyes and said, "We have to kill so many wealthy people that they are scared and no longer dare to invest in the Hero Association to succeed. What I hate most is violence without any technical content. I prefer some brain-intensive operations. We who are holding the video have already firmly grasped the initiative."

"Yes, from our perspective, those sponsors agreed to your terms because they were frightened by your brutal methods. But from the perspective of the spectators...these sponsors let you go because they were tempted by your proposal."

Eva looked at the thing in Guo's hand and couldn't help but admire it, "As long as this thing spreads, the reputation of the Hero Association will be completely ruined. Those noble heroes, such as the masked man who hates evil, will no longer be able to stay with these guys. It's a foregone conclusion that he will leave the Hero Association."

"Who can say?"

Guo Linglong looked at Eva in confusion and asked, "Who told you that if this thing spreads, we will win without doing anything?"

"Eh? Isn't it?"

"of course not."

As Guo Linglong gradually left the Hero Association, she said calmly, "Every one of these people who was filmed is an old fox who has been in the business world for who knows how many years. I can guess with my toes that once the video is exposed, they will immediately hold a press conference to clarify that they had to agree to it because of my threat, then bow a few times in perfect posture, and then start crisis public relations. Soon this matter will be over without causing any waves."

"Um... so the things in here are useless? Did we work for nothing?"

Eva's extremely disappointed question made Guo Linglong laugh: "Why are you more anxious than me? This video can certainly deal a heavy blow to the Hero Association's trump card, but it still needs a few things to supplement it in order to maximize the lethality, and here I need to rely on your help, my friend."

As she spoke, Guo Linglong took out two maps and a photo from her bosom and handed them to the puzzled Eva. She pointed at the map and said, "Go to the locations marked on these two maps, and then you will see two groups of protesting citizens."

"The citizens on the left are protesting against a new chemical plant that will be built soon. They are worried that the construction of this notorious chemical plant will pollute the surrounding environment. Your task is to scare these citizens away until they dare not protest again."

"The citizens on the right side of the map are so-called nail households. They have not been able to reach an agreement with the developer who wants to expropriate their land, and your task is to destroy their houses."

"The last photo is of a black-hearted politician. He and a wealthy businessman have had a big conflict recently. You can just kill this man. Don't ask me what this politician did to deserve his death. You might vomit after hearing that."

After completing the task under Eva's horrified gaze, Guo Linglong whispered to the group of wealthy people locked in the office in a mosquito-like voice.

"They were coerced into agreeing to this by me. This is indeed the truth, but whether the truth is true or not is not important. What is important is that people are only willing to believe what they see, and the 'truth' they see is that the mortal enemies of those financiers were killed by me. In this way..."

I'm calling the shots, fellow capitalists.

Without any haze, the bright and cheerful laughter of spring gradually spread over the sky above the Hero Association...

Chapter 89: Remarks

People who know me know that I am a Buddhist author. I won’t actively ask editors for recommendations, I won’t ask colleagues for chapter push, and I rarely even show up in my own group.

Because unlike other people, I am used to being poor and I know how to be content. I just want to make enough money to feed myself. Whether I become popular or not is up to fate. Anyway, my writing skills won’t be that bad. As long as I can make enough money to feed myself, I can continue writing… Then I failed to sell three books in a row. One of them even had a first order of only 200 yuan, which pushed me to the brink of despair.

So I, who hates to unfinish a book, had no choice but to hastily finish one book and unfinish two because I am a full-time writer and I would starve to death if I continued writing works that did not make money.

I have said so much not to advertise my sympathy, I simply want to let the friends who want to subscribe understand that this book will not be abandoned again, nor will it be hastily concluded, because I am at the end of my rope and either I have to finish writing this book that seems to have good results to the end, or I will become autistic.

So I decided not to be so carefree anymore. After the book is put on the shelves at 10 o'clock, I will add two chapters for every 1,000 subscriptions. 2,000 subscriptions will add four chapters, 3,000 subscriptions will add six chapters, 4,000 subscriptions... well, these 1,000 or 2,000 are reliable, 3,000 is a shaky result, 4,000 would be a miracle. If 4,000 is really 4,000, I will directly spend 1,000 yuan to hire an expert to make illustrations (although I will do it if there is no such expert).

Chapter 90: Anticipated Operation

"Errrr... no problem, no problem."

While taking a deep breath, Eva carefully looked at the three tasks given by Guo Linglong. She already knew in her heart that the owner of the chemical plant, the mastermind of the developer, and the wealthy businessman who offended the politicians were probably shivering in the office behind Guo Linglong.

"In this case, even if these wealthy merchants bow hundreds of times or even jump into the Yellow River, they can't completely wash themselves clean. The Hero Association, which is tied to these sponsors, will become notorious in an instant, and no more sponsors will join in a short period of time. The reputation of the Hero Association will inevitably suffer a huge blow, and even the capital chain on which it depends for survival will be cut off in an instant... Speaking of which..."

Eva blinked at Guo Linglong and said with interest, "I suddenly feel that it's great that you are willing to be my friend. With a devil like you by my side, the mad witch who is regarded as a disaster and avoided by witches is as harmless as a flawless white lotus."

Guo Linglong tilted her head and looked at the guards whose half bodies were buried in the ground behind Eva, and the heroes who were fighting among themselves under the influence of the madness further away, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"The title of devil is more suitable for you, and I am more suitable as a devil who likes to tinker with contracts. Okay, stop talking nonsense and get to work."

Amid the urging, Eva happily picked up the documents beside her and left, humming a song happily as she left, happy that even when she went to hell in the future, she would have someone to drink with.

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

The news of the attack on the Hero Association headquarters forced the heroes who had set out to hunt Kasumi to return home in a hurry, staring at the tragic situation of the association in amazement.

The guards who had stayed behind in the association saw something that caused their sanity values ​​to drop sharply, and they swung their weapons like crazy at the innocent Hero Association, turning a perfectly good high-end building into a mess as if it had been looted several times.

However, the sponsors of the Hero Association just gathered together with gloomy faces and continued to discuss what to do next.

"Kill him! That guy is too dangerous if we don't get rid of him!"

A woman who was so fat that her neck couldn't be seen gnashed her teeth and said, "I don't want to make him unhappy by mistake in the future, and then have my entire family's ashes destroyed by him."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"The enemy just took advantage of the absence of the heroes and the lack of defense to sneak in. This time we let Tornado and even Blast to protect us, and the other heroes will come out in full force to kill him, otherwise everyone here will never sleep peacefully again!"

Amid the shouting, the association's financiers, who had been arguing over the distribution of interests, showed unprecedented unity and unanimously passed a proposal to eliminate Guo Linglong.

While it would be tempting to have that cocky guy be the lapdog to do the dirty work, they don't want a dog that will bite them when there are plenty of other heroes willing to do the dirty work for them.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

Just when the sponsors reached a common agreement, the door suddenly opened, and a leader of the Hero Association came in with a few pages of A4 paper. He said to the puzzled sponsors: "Bosses, when you were coerced before... you should not have said anything excessive, or done anything excessive, right?"

"Not this one."

A sponsor asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Child Emperor, who just rushed back, was planning to use the surveillance here to see if he could find anything. As a result, Child Emperor discovered that there were signs of video crosstalk in the surveillance video. Although it was very subtle, it was enough to show that the surveillance that just existed in the Hero Association was not just ours."

The assistant looked at his breadwinners with some hesitation, and asked cautiously, "So, you didn't say anything excessive, right?"

The financiers looked at each other, and then cold sweats broke out...

They were the ones who promised that no matter how many people Guo Linglong killed, how many families were torn apart, or how turbulent the society became, they would not be able to kill Guo Linglong.

They were the ones who agreed to let Guo Linglong do their dirty work in exchange for a certain amount of freedom. Even the Hero Association had to turn a blind eye to Guo Linglong's actions.

Even though they couldn't say no in the situation where their lives were in the hands of Guo Linglong, the spectators would not be so considerate as to think about the problem from their perspective!

"That guy doesn't want to be our dog at all, he's a poisonous snake that wants to bite our necks!"

An old man sneered, "I underestimated the young people nowadays. I didn't expect that they have so many tricks. It's a pity... they are still too young. Anyway, I will hold a press conference tomorrow. Before that guy releases the video, I will bow a few times and send a few water troops to lead the pace. Then I will 404 some things that shouldn't exist. Soon, those fools who can't think for themselves will sneer at such things."

In the meeting room, the atmosphere became relaxed again, and the financiers resumed their conversation and laughter, mocking Guo Linglong for being naive and flattering the old man. This harmonious atmosphere lasted until the old man's assistant came in and happily announced a "good" news.

"Dad! Councillor Nishiyama Daishi was killed by a monster on the road just now. Mom asked you to go back quickly and bring some gifts to visit the councillor's home to confirm whether he is really dead!"

The old man stared blankly at his son, who had lost control due to joy and actually told such news here. His eyes turned black and he collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

"Dad! What's wrong with you? Are you okay? Someone come quickly, my dad is so excited that he is stimulated, please come and help me!"

The old man's son cried for help in panic, but everything was quiet all around. The other financiers who had previously bid wildly for the old man's horses were now looking around in confusion with pale faces.

They are not stupid. Of course they understand what the death of Councillor Nishiyama Daishi represents. They also understand that the death of the councillor is just the beginning...

----------

At this moment, Guo Linglong, who was walking towards the handsome masked man's house, raised his head as if he noticed something, as if he saw those rich people with pale faces. Then, he turned his back to the crowd and walked against the flow of people, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth for a happy smile.

"You idiots, your narrow-minded evil is really... naive."

Chapter 91: The Hero Association's Countermeasures

[Shocking! 99.99% of people don't know about the Hero Association's explosive information exposed]

[Shocked! All the people on Earth were stunned after seeing this! ]

[Shocked! Men will be silent after watching this, and women will cry! The hero's backstory is so unbearable]

[Shocked! A group of old people actually did this kind of thing in broad daylight! ]

[Shocked! A group of old people and a young man actually did such a shameful thing in a secret room! ]

[Shock! A dirty deal between a group of old people and a young man! ]

Public opinion exploded...

When Guo Linglong's video was exposed on the Internet, all media and the public were shocked. Millions of marketing accounts, tens of millions of joke tellers, and hundreds of millions of netizens started a New Year's Eve carnival. Countless posts on various forums were discussing this scandal fiercely.

The Hero Association actually promised to give a Dragon-level monster a gold medal of immunity from death, and even wanted to raise a Dragon-level monster as a subordinate? After seeing this scene, I wonder how many citizens' outlook on life, world view, and values ​​have been turned upside down.

In this world where monster disasters are happening frequently, the Hero Association is not only a beacon of hope, but also the dream of countless people. However, when they saw that a group of sponsors of the Hero Association actually let go of a monster with a disaster level of dragon, and even intended to keep the monster in captivity, countless people were shocked and their idols were shattered.

The management of the Hero Association who were cleaning up the mess were also confused. They had no idea what was going on. When they came to their senses, they were already dizzy and confused by Guo Linglong's combination of punches. Now reporters from all directions had surrounded the entire building, looking like vicious monsters who would not let anyone leave until they got to the bottom of the matter.

But what made the management of the Hero Association even more disappointed was that all the money in their accounts was frozen, and their sponsors could not be contacted one after another...

In desperation, the management could only contact other people, but those wealthy people who had tried hard to curry favor with the Hero Association and wanted to become sponsors also began to shirk their responsibilities, play Tai Chi, and find excuses to hang up the phone. No one was willing to generously donate to support the Hero Association whose funds were frozen.

With an extremely tired look, the manager of the Hero Association looked at the two "children" in front of him, a boy and a girl, for help.

One of them was Child Emperor, the smartest hero in the Hero Association. He was also the first to discover that the association was being secretly filmed, and he almost ruined the weirdo's plan.

The other one was Tornado, the most powerful hero in the Hero Association. But this notoriously arrogant female hero seemed to be angry and had no intention of paying any attention to him.

"We are already finished, we should at least face this reality..."

Child Emperor licked his lollipop and said calmly, "You promised to let him go. So no matter how many people he kills, how many facilities he destroys, or how many families he breaks up, the blame will all be borne by the Hero Association. This is the cruelest part. This is also why sponsors won't come to you. They are not stupid. The reputation of the Hero Association is already stinking. Before the situation improves, the more you invest, the more you lose."

"No, there is another way."

Tornado tilted his head and said, "We just need to capture him and not give him the chance to continue causing chaos. However, he is an unprecedented weirdo. Sending those useless S-class heroes to fight him will only lead to death. Unless... you are willing to ask me to help, I can catch him as quickly as possible."

Faced with Tornado's tempting proposal, the manager of the Hero Association looked hesitant...

In the past, when the heroes fought against monsters, the damage and losses caused were compensated by the association using the money given by sponsors. But now the association’s account has been frozen, the capital chain has broken, and it can’t take out much money. Although Tornado is powerful, her destructive power is proportional to her strength. The current Hero Association has no way to allow her to fight to her heart's content.

"So Ms. Tornado."

The manager asked cautiously, "Can we find him out in a way that doesn't cause too much damage?"

"I have a better idea."

Tornado tilted his head and said venomously, "Maybe... maybe you should just lie down, lie still, and then yell softly?"

Looking at the manager slumped on the ground, a trace of pity flashed in Child Emperor's eyes, but he still hardened his heart and didn't look at it...

To be honest, it might be useless to ask Tornado to take action. The enemy is an unprecedented intelligent monster who has forced the Hero Association into a dead end in a short period of time with his own strength. How could such a smart person not be on guard against Tornado's attack? Child Emperor didn't believe it.

"This can be considered karma."

The third S-class hero, Silver Fang Bang, stood out from the shadows at some point and sighed, "The day before yesterday, I proposed that you recruit him as an S-class hero after he was framed in the hero exam. Not only did you ignore my suggestion, you also issued a bounty order for a dragon-level disaster... You should have expected this outcome at that time."

Who the hell could have expected that the English Association, which was in its heyday the day before yesterday, would be forced into such a situation a day later!

The manager squatted down with his head in his hands in deep regret. Child Emperor at the side had a flash of pity in his eyes, but in the end he could only sigh faintly: "I should have stayed to guard the house yesterday. If I had been there, maybe I could have used my brain to fight him, but the association has never recorded any intelligent monsters, so I was careless. Now the situation has reached a point where it cannot be reversed. For now... I can only do what Tornado says."

"Oh? Do you want me to come out?"

Hearing this, Long Juan rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "As long as you are willing to pay to help clean up the mess, I will be happy to help you kill that guy. Thanks to him, a bunch of reporters are following me like bugs, speculating whether I am also secretly helping those fat pigs do dirty work. Now I have accumulated a lot of pressure and have no place to vent it."

"No, I mean the second method you proposed..."

Child Emperor took out a computer from his schoolbag and typed out a series of data that no one could understand. He said, "It's just that we need to modify a few details. After we lie down, we can't shout softly. We should shout louder."

"Forehead……"

Bang looked at Child Emperor with a confused look on his face, who looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that what I meant?"

"The existence of the Hero Association is necessary, but the existence of this house under our feet is not..."

Child Emperor snapped his fingers and said directly.

"Abandon the already notorious Hero Association and this house, build another house, and then change the name. The Hero Association can be resurrected in another form. I call it - rebirth through a shell."
