Chapter 45
After finishing my meeting with the boss, I stepped outside to find Niberna, who had been waiting nervously by the door, immediately getting up and running towards me.
“─Are you okay?” (Niberna)
“What do you mean, are you okay?” (Eight)
“The, uh, meeting with the chairwoman…”
Hearing that, I let out a half-hearted exclamation as I figured it out. After all, there are people you can’t easily ignore, even if you’re an S-rank hero who can look down on the world with sheer power. The chairwoman of a big corporation and the boss of a villain organization are precisely those types.
Isn’t this world basically like Earth, running on money? Even an S-rank hero like Niberna is fundamentally a being subordinated to capital. The chairwoman of a big corporation can exert more influence than an S-rank hero in some ways.
Not to mention, Regalia holds both the position of chairwoman of the Evilus Corporation and the boss of an evil organization. In the past, if it had been a gathering of the powerless, rusty relics, or the quadriplegic, now it was considered a powerful organization to the degree of calling itself Evilus Corporation’s private soldiers.
“I’m fine. She’s not someone who would particularly harm me.”
“……I see. I guess I didn’t know much about the Boss.”
