One Punch Man King Engine - Chapter 450

[Chapter 447 New Hero Association]

“Speaking of Tong Di, what meeting is the agreement holding? Need our professional heroes to participate?”

This is an unprecedented precedent.

“King, do you know the origin of the Hero Association?” Emperor Tong walked side by side with King on the road to the headquarters of the Association, and said solemnly: “Since the monster disaster appeared, human beings have faced enormous pressure to survive. The tycoon Agney came forward to call on the elites of the society to form a hero association, recruit all the powerful and powerful to become professional heroes, and eliminate and resist the disasters of all kinds of monsters.”

“Ok, I know.”

King nodded, these are common sense, almost everyone knows.

“Now that the Hero Association has entered its fourth year, the initial association system has exposed many problems. At the same time, due to the undisciplined and excessively destructive behavior of some heroes, as well as the heroes’ various ugly behaviors such as infighting and non-cooperation, the people have made people suffer. The association has gradually lost trust. In fact, this problem has gradually become prominent in the past year. Until the Weird Association invaded the city, many heroes failed miserably, and let the eccentrics play tricks in the city. Some unknown people are secretly inciting, making the public’s dissatisfaction with the association gradually intensified, and a wave of collective criticism has formed. Major unscrupulous media rushed to report scandals such as the employees of the Hero Association embezzling donations from the public, and fabricated the association to become rich. Rumors of exclusive bodyguards, under the bombardment of the media, the image of the hero has also plummeted, and it has exacerbated the crisis of public confidence in the association…”

King sighed, “I didn’t feel the people’s malice towards us at all…” Was he too stupid?

Tong Di licked the lollipop and said with a smile, “Of course, because King is the No. 1 unshakable hero in the eyes of the people, so even if the association is riddled with scandals, the praise about King in the news never changes. , this is the deserved glory won by the king with his strength.”

“Maybe!” King said irrefutably: “This situation is indeed very bad, but the association should have enough time to adjust and correct it?”

With the increasing frequency of monster disasters, the Hero Association is still a talisman for the people, no matter how bad it is. They may complain that the talisman is not easy to use, but they will never give up their only means of life protection.

“Indeed, the top management of the association once held the idea that the association is the only heroic organization, and that no matter how much people complain, there is nothing they can do, so the reputation of the association has gradually declined. Now… a more terrifying crisis has emerged. The emerging hero organization of the ‘New Hero Association’ is being formed. They tap the excellent talents of the association through various methods, and absorb and innovate the technical knowledge accumulated by the association for many years to defend against monster disasters. The relevant system of the new hero association also absorbs our association. Lessons learned, more perfect and better.”

Tong Di bit the lollipop and introduced: “In addition, the heroes of the New Hero Association are no longer called professional heroes, but call themselves new heroes, king, you should have an idea of the number of heroes in our association. The latest information shows that the number of heroes in our association is only more than 600, while the number of heroes in the new hero association has reached … more than 2,000. What’s worse, all the outstanding heroes of our hero association will pass through various Ways to say hello and explore what everyone means, I heard that many people have already taken action, and even the pillars of the association – the S-class heroes may also change jobs.”

“I see……”

King suddenly remembered that Wu Chi and others had persuaded him to join an emerging hero organization, which was probably the New Hero Association. Are they already serving heroes of the New Hero Association?

“Actually, the association has long recognized the problem of the shortage of heroes. After eliminating the Weird Association, they have stepped up their efforts to recruit various powerhouses hidden in the people. However, without exception… all failed.”

Tong Di said in a solemn tone: “Because… these powerhouses all chose to join the New Hero Association.”

“So, even if the New Hero Association has not yet been established, its power will definitely not be weaker than our association, or even stronger.”

“For the people…it should be a good thing!”

“Well, but for the association, the New Hero Association is a huge threat.” Tong Di said with a smile: “So, they called us here to test our intentions and try to keep us as much as possible.”

“Playing a good abacus.”

…

At the same time, at the high-level meeting of the association.

“I don’t agree. In order to prevent S-class heroes from being poached by the New Hero Association and make them sign long-term labor contracts, this kind of suggestion is simply stupid and ridiculous.”

Siki glared at Markoi on the opposite side.

“Minister Sitch, don’t be so angry, we are just discussing solutions for the crisis facing the association…” Markey spread his hands and smiled: “Maybe my proposal is bad, but it is a solution, isn’t it?”

“Director Markoyi, please respect the profession of heroes.” Cich punched the conference table and roared: “Our association is an organization established to recruit heroes for the purpose of ‘implementing justice’, we are not What kind of company, and the professional heroes are not our employees, we are not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, we are at most partners, from the point of view of the establishment of the new hero association, we have gradually lost popular support. Let them switch to the New Hero Association, then our association will not face a crisis, but collapse.”

“Minister Xiqi, your anger is too high, don’t be impatient, everyone is just expressing their own opinions, the original intention is to solve the problems faced by the association, don’t hurt the peace.”

Other high-level executives have persuaded Xi Qi to calm down and not get angry.

“However, what Minister Sic said is very reasonable. The association and the heroes are indeed a cooperative relationship, not an employment relationship. It is indeed inappropriate to ask the heroes to sign a contract to bind themselves when the new hero association recruits and buys horses. Director Ke Yi’s suggestion is invalid, but we still want to thank Director Ma Keyi for his hard work for the association, thank you very much.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Ma Keyi looked at Xiqi and smiled: “Minister Xiqi, I apologize for my absurd suggestion, I’m sorry, but I just hope to help the association get through this difficult time, please don’t. mind.”

“No, it should be me apologizing.” Xickey took a deep breath, “I was too excited just now.”

“Stop, I don’t need to say more polite words. What other good suggestions do you have for the establishment of the New Hero Association?”

“I don’t think it’s necessary to target the New Hero Association…”

Sickey said slowly.

“Ok?”

Other high-level executives looked at Cich in doubt, “How do you say?”

“As we all know, with the increasing frequency of monster disasters, the problem of shortage of manpower in our Hero Association has become more and more prominent. Now that the headquarters of the Association is built and many A-level heroes are gathered to live in the headquarters, it has led to the absence of high-ranking heroes in some parts of the world. , And the timing of the emergence of the New Hero Association was just right, seized our weak points, took the opportunity to promote our ideas among the people, and quickly opened up the scene. Now it has become a trend, and we have almost no way to prevent the establishment of the New Hero Association. However, We don’t need to stop them, because their appearance just makes up for our manpower shortage, which is a good thing for the people, and if we oppose it, it will only deepen the people’s disgust for us, and the gains will outweigh the losses.”

Cickey glanced at the senior members of the association present, and said solemnly: “Moreover, we have successfully won the favor of the world’s rich, and the association has sufficient funds to maintain the operation and development of our association, so, in fact, we Apart from losing some people’s support, the association has no other major crisis, as long as we can correct the shortcomings of the system and personnel in time, we can gradually restore people’s hearts…”

“Right now, our main problem is to stabilize the S-rank heroes and prevent the outstanding heroes from leaving. As long as they are still there, our association will not stand still.”
