Chapter 14 - A Small Curry Shop
Morning arrived with a sudden internal ruckus, with news headlines flashing all over the city.
The Hero Association was in disarray.
Reports of a powerful A-rank superhero attacking the Blac estate had become main stream media's narrative within hours.
Although the government response had yet to come in fully, considering they are most probably outwitting the presence of both the Hero Association and Black Corporation for themselves.
Behind closed doors, the Hero Association scrambled to contain the fallout. An official statement was issued, brief and carefully worded:
> An incident occurred involving an A-rank hero currently under investigation. The Hero Association does not condone unauthorized operations and will cooperate fully with any inquiries from the Blac Corporation. <
They kept it neutral. Polished. No names. No blame.
But within internal channels, tensions were high given that they lost an A-rank hero, especially considering that they lost against black corporations.
Meetings with Blac Corporation representatives were tense and formal.
The Blac family's legal team was already pushing hard, demanding accountability and compensation.
The Association, knowing the weight the Blacs held, offered temporary silence—along with promises of internal reviews and quiet punishment.
