"Huh? I'm unemployed?"
King, who had just finished his retreat and planned to rest for a few days, opened his messages and found out about the government's military control.
"Hey, Xiqi..."
King dialed Xiqi's number. However, after a moment, he immediately put the phone away because after receiving King's call, Xiqi shouted excitedly and his voice was extremely harsh.
"Phew, king, you are finally back."
Finally, Xiqi took a deep breath and suppressed his impatience.
"What's going on?"
Monk Zhang Er was completely confused about the newly established Military Control Commission.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you as much as I want. There are six key points..."
"Oh I got it."
After a while, King suddenly realized that he finally figured out the ins and outs of the Military Control Commission. To put it simply, the government had become stubborn and could no longer sit back and watch the Heroes Association continue to develop, so it deliberately took back the privileges of the Heroes Association.
"Aren't they afraid of causing public outrage?"
King was very puzzled. Their heroes had been around for three or four years. In the era when the government was invisible, it was the heroes who charged into battle, bleeding and sweating to protect the citizens. Even if the government became stronger, how could they dare to beat the heroes to death with a single blow
"King, these politicians are very smart. Before arousing public outrage, they have already promoted you and other S-class heroes to honorary presidents, honorary directors, honorary members, etc. of the Military Control Commission. In short, they have clearly arranged the heroes. In vain, they awarded medals to heroes with outstanding achievements and strongly commended their contributions. They also said that heroes can apply to join the government civil servants, which is equivalent to pension. Of course, they also said that the government is now capable of protecting citizens, so Only then can the heroes let go of Ma Nanshan and enjoy the happy and leisurely life that follows... A series of operations, coupled with manipulation and secret manipulation of the media."
“…”
The arrangements are clear and well-founded, making it impossible to refute.
"However, since you have never shown up, King, I have not awarded you a medal. I have only named you the honorary president of the Military Control Commission. Of course, you are only the honorary president and basically have no real power."
Xiqi said with a sigh.
"Honorary President?"
The king was confused. This was because he was worshiping himself as a god, but he did not allow himself, the god, to interfere with the common affairs of the world.
"Okay, I've got it, I'm unemployed."
He couldn't laugh or cry. While he was in seclusion and working hard to improve his strength, he became unemployed inexplicably. However, for him, unemployment was just a loss of a source of money. It did not affect other aspects of life. Even because he was not a hero, he had no responsibility. "Put out fires" and save people, just be a homebody in peace and contentment.
Moreover, he does not think that the government has done anything wrong. When the government is capable of protecting citizens, violent organizations among the people should not exist, otherwise it will easily become a destabilizing factor for world unity.
If the government and violent organizations don't want to give in to each other, the result will be rounds of turmoil until a winner is decided. At a time when weird disasters occur frequently, turmoil in the world will definitely be a serious blow to the citizens.
However, the government is indeed fucked up and has been too hasty in seizing power, causing many unfair treatments to the heroes who once worked so hard for world peace.
For example, at the beginning of many dynasties in history, many of the founding heroes were so outstanding that their existence posed a threat to the rulers. Therefore, the rulers usually took advantage of the situation to control the situation and eliminate the heroes one by one to maintain the state. rule.
Many people will sympathize with the heroes who died in vain, but this is politics!
"King, aren't you angry?"
"By the way, I have a question. I am the honorary president of the Military Control Commission. Will they pay me a salary?" King was very curious.
“… there should be a salary.”
Xiqi was speechless for a moment and almost couldn't react.
"Oh, it doesn't have any impact. Life is even more comfortable."
King murmured to himself that with the salary from the Hero Association, he needed to work hard, but with the government pension, he could just stay at home and focus on improving his strength to defeat Saitama.
Therefore, the government's coercive rule is beneficial to him.
“…”
Xiqi smiled bitterly. It seemed that he could no longer rely on King to speak out. At the same time, he also secretly admired King's broad-mindedness. He was clearly a great hero respected by thousands of people before, but now he is reduced to an honorary president who is living in retirement. There was no trace in King's tone. Angry, even filled with joy.
Perhaps people like King are real heroes. As long as it is beneficial to the people, even if it harms his own interests, he will support it unconditionally.
"What's going on outside?"
After King hung up Xiqi's phone, he turned on the disaster news channel on the TV.
"An hour ago, a ghost-level disaster monster appeared in P City. The military mechanical brigade quickly dispatched to quickly eliminate the ghost-level disaster monster before it caused widespread damage. It is gratifying..."
"According to feedback from our reporter, a tiger-level disaster monster appeared in City
"Wolf-level disaster monsters also appeared in T City, but they were eliminated by the military's mechanical brigade without causing any casualties..."
The Disaster Channel was full of good reviews, all about victory, victory, victory, and the description was very relaxed, as if destroying the monsters was an easy task for the military mechanical brigade.
“It’s unanimously praised...not bad!”
After watching it for a few minutes, King discovered that all the reports were victory reports of the military mechanical brigade.
"Let's go out for a walk!"
He turned off the TV, changed into clean clothes and went out immediately.
Kaka!
On the streets, teams of robots patrolled, scanning everyone passing by with their red eyes, looking for and identifying weirdos.
"No wonder the disaster news all praises the robot brigade for its quick action. It turns out that the robot brigade is so large in number and patrols on the move. Of course, it responds very quickly to weird disasters..."
The king was amazed.
"Huh? This banner..."
He suddenly saw a banner hanging from the Propaganda Department on the street, which read: "Heroes, we will never forget you!"
"Is this a memorial to our seniors?"
He shook his head, feeling strange, as if Lei Feng was alive in my heart.
Tsk!
Suddenly, there was a sound of braking behind him.
"Hello customer, your Fubuki has been delivered. Please go downstairs to receive it."
"Fubuki takeout?"
King was startled, and suddenly turned around, only to see Saitama dressed neatly as a waiter, holding a glass box as big as a suitcase in his left and right hands, with a lot of takeaways neatly packed inside, and talking on the phone with someone.
"Saitama delivers food?"
His expression froze. Has the Great Demon King Saitama been reduced to delivering food
"Fubuki takeaway, everyone loves it!"
"Thank you for your order, please give our company a five-star review, thank you!"
Saitama watched the customer go upstairs in a good voice, picked up the two glass boxes and prepared to run seriously to the next customer.
"Saitama..."
King couldn't help but call Saitama.
"King?"
Saitama turned around and saw King, and was surprised: "Are you out of seclusion?"
"Um."
King looked at Saitama wearing ordinary waiter clothes, and then looked at the two obviously specially made glass boxes, and sighed: "Saitama, I will support you, stop doing this."
Saitama, who has saved the earth countless times, is reduced to delivering food. Just thinking about it makes people feel mixed emotions.
"What? I'm not so poor that I need you to support me."
Saitama simply rejected the king's proposal, but that's right. Saitama had been a hero for three years with zero income based on his interest, and he had lived a fulfilling life. Now that the government has implemented a military control system, he has just returned to before liberation overnight.
"Moreover, the association will continue to pay us wages every month, but we no longer have to eliminate weirdos. I feel that staying at home is quite boring, and Fubuki invited me, so I came out to work..."
Saitama briefly explained the cause and effect.
"Oh I got it."
The King Dark Channel Heroes Association is very good to the heroes. Even if the government stipulates that heroes are not allowed to use unconventional power without authorization, and if they cause damage to the environment and citizens, they will be immediately arrested and attacked. It can be said that most of the heroes have been destroyed. However, the association is still willing to support them. They have worked hard to pay wages for the reputation of the association. It is simply a rare association with a conscience.
"Oh, king, let's stop talking. I need to deliver food. Let's talk when we have time..."
Saitama spread his legs, sprinted out like a hot wheel, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Fubuki Takeout...Has the largest hero group in the hero world already come out to do takeout?"
King stared blankly at the direction Saitama left. It seemed that many heroes were changing careers...
