Chapter 350
It had only lasted a few hours, and yet, the Heroes Association and UD Group’s large-scale operation to root out traitors shook the entire world.
「183 individuals identified as collaborators with the Demons Force have been detained, along with those who worked closely with them...」
Though every branch of the Association was searched, the sheer number of individuals within the association arrested ran high, well into the hundreds. Among them were even high-ranking officials, including directors and branch managers. And if those who unknowingly contributed through corruption-related crimes were added as well, the figure approached thousands.
It was an incident of such magnitude that it would have been unsurprising if the Heroes Association’s credibility crumbled entirely, leading to its dissolution. However, public criticism of the Association was surprisingly mild, primarily due to the gravity of the other scandals that had erupted simultaneously.
「This incident is truly shocking. Not only retired heroes but also active heroes were collaborating with Doppelganger...」
「It's a terrible situation, but at least they have all been apprehended now. Imagine the catastrophic damage if over two hundred A-rank heroes turned into demons all together and went on a rampage.... Just the thought is terrifying.」
「Haha, no need to fret over hypotheticals. If something like that did happen, President Wurgen would surely have handled it, just as he did with this operation...」
Listening to the lively discussion of the three people discussing recent events on TV from his living room sofa, Se-Hoon was stroking his chin, deep in thought.
Hmm... I guess it’s not so bad looking at the bigger picture.
Unlike others who were horrified by the amount of control the Demon Force had over the Heroes Association, Se-Hoon—who had witnessed much worse before the regression—found it relatively mild.
Sure, humanity had suffered significant losses to their forces through the incident, but compared to the disasters that could have exploded in the future, neutralizing the threats early was a significant boon, no matter what.
