"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Are you out of your mind?" he exclaimed. I just smiled in response. He looked at Momo. "What is wrong with him? Did he get hit in the head?"

Momo pulled my shirt. "All Might is the symbol of peace. How can you do such a thing to that man? You never told me that you would try to kill such a prominent figure. Do you know what will happen if he dies?" she asked, concern etched on her face.

I shrugged. "Japan will plunge into chaos, and maybe new groups of villains will rise to power. There is nothing there for me except owning all of Japan. I am telling you, Momo, I will make you the queen. Your parents don't like me, but think about what will happen if I take over their land. They will have no choice but to accept me." I knew Momo would resist at all costs, but that was alright; I had other plans for her to keep her out of this mess.

"Kaneki Nagisa, at Stark Academy we don't teach students to be villains; we teach them to be heroes. I will give you one more chance, a chance for redemption for what you did to the number one hero of India," said the President with a sharp look. I knew he wanted All Might dead more than I did. After all, All Might was the number one hero of a small, opposing country. Every powerful nation wanted both Cassie and All Might dead to gain control over the country with the highest quality of heroes.

"Oh, come on, Mr. President, I know you want him dead more than anyone. You said you are not like your grandfather, that you are different. You are politically different, and right now the nation is grasping at every straw to take you down from the President's seat. I saw the campaign; you are losing by a large margin. Don't tell me you are going to back out now," I said, knowing full well he would accept the proposal.

"Kaneki, can I talk to you for a second in private?" Momo whispered in my ear. I nodded and stepped aside.

"What is it, Momo?" I asked in a hushed voice.

"Kaneki, listen, I have an idea. Why don't we talk to my parents? They have connections with other heroes. They can help us get out of this mess. I don't want to live a life worrying that one day my husband might die at the hands of a hero," she said, tears visible in her eyes.

I sighed. "Listen, you promised that you would accept whatever I do. So why are you trying to change me?" I said, holding her hands.

She looked down. "But you are the one who changed me. You made me who I am today, and I don't want you to enter a wrong path in life. It's true that I accepted your proposal, but I never thought you would give a leg up to the enemy country. Remember, Kaneki, we are from Japan, not America. So why are you trying to help them? They backstabbed us, remember?" she said, still avoiding my gaze.

I smirked. "Don't worry about that. A villain always thinks about what he gains, not what he loses. You will understand how this world works once you become like me." I returned to the table.

"So, have you guys finished talking?" asked Trump.

I nodded. "Now it's your turn to finish talking with me, Mr. President."

He looked around to make sure no one was near us. "Okay, listen, I know a group of hackers from Pakistan. They can do the job for you, but I don't care about All Might. All I care about is whether you save Cathleen. Also, I don't want to get involved in this matter any more. You will meet Katie, who will do the dirty work for you," he said in a low tone.

I nodded in satisfaction. "Then we have a deal." I raised my hand.

"Not so fast. What guarantee can you give me that you won't harm my country?" he asked.

I gave a grim smile. "No guarantee, Mr. President. I might kill you one day, so be careful. Make sure you have bodyguards at all times." I opened a portal. "I will meet Katie tomorrow at the same lab where you have hidden alien technology—Area 51. For now, I am going to my house in Japan to rest."

Inside an old bar, Kurogiri was cleaning glasses and arranging bottles on the shelves.

"Kurogiri, what does Master mean by sending someone to help us? Is it because we failed?" asked Tomura, looking mad at Kurogiri.

"I don't think he's sending someone to babysit you," Kurogiri replied as Giran entered. Giran was a black market broker who had been working for the League of Villains for quite some time.

"Kurogiri, get me something to drink. We have some newcomers," Giran said, sitting near Tomura. Dabi, Himiko Toga, Twice, Spinner, Mr. Compress, and Magne entered the room.

"Who are these numskulls?" Tomura asked.

"They are here after the viral Hero Killer Stain incident," Giran explained.

Tomura was even angrier. The Hero Killer Stain had been a serious downgrade for him, prompting his master to call someone else. Now there were people worshipping the Hero Killer as if he were a god.

"Ask them to get out, or I will make them," he said, looking at Dabi.

Dabi smiled. "Why don't you make me?"

AN: the start of the next season is here. Lets go.
