Chapter 25:- Deal With The Devil

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. If the devil offers you something, there will always be a price to pay." - Anonymous

"Well then, Congratulations Giran on becoming my first employee/secretary, looking forward to working with you," said Izuku as he brought forth his hand to seal the deal.

"Pleasure is all mine, kid, sorry, boss," said Giran with a really bright smile as if he won the world or got a treasure no one could find, as he brought forth his hand as well and they shook their hands sealing the deal, already assuming the role of Izuku's secretary.

"Ohhh, aren't you quick on the uptake?" asked Izuku with an amused smile.

"Of course, as you know me very well, why waste time over meaningless things, afterall life is too short to waste time, and I couldn't have asked for a boss better than you," said Giran still having the same bright smile on his face.

"So my secretary shall we meet this big shot of the underworld that we have come to meet," said Izuku as he took the role of the boss immediately.

"Yes," said Giran as he led the way into Izuku.

The door to the shabby-looking bar they were standing in front of, was opened by Giran and Izuku followed behind.

The interior was similar to the exterior of the bar, it was very shabby, however, the interior was cleaner than the exterior, but it was all shut, with no ventilation, no sunlight, all windows were shut, and no one else could be seen in the bar except for a kid with blue hair and a purple fog like a man wearing a bartender uniform, and the silence just added to it as it gave off a really gloomy vibe to the bar.

"Like I said, it's all written over this place, that here illegal activities are conducted," said Izuku looking at Giran

Giran couldn't help but let out a helpless laugh.

This dialogue caught the attention of the only two souls in the bar, other than Giran and Izuku, however, they weren't the ones to say anything or rather they were beaten by someone.

"And why is that?" asked a voice from the monitor of a screen.

"And who might you be?" asked Izuku not answering the question asked by the person on the monitor or rather ignoring his question.

"Boss, this is the bigshot that fulfilled the requirements you laid out, his name is All For One," said Giran explaining AFO's Identity to Izuku.

"Boss? I thought you were a freelancer Giran," asked Kurogiri.

"You can say, I just got employed by him." said Giran

"Interesting, and who might this kid be to be able to hire you Giran?" asked AFO in a really amused tone.

Before Giran could reply Izuku interrupted him.

"So you are AFO. the big shot of the underworld that has the power to manipulate Japan from the shadows, and All Might's arch nemesis, I thought you were dead when you had your final battle with All Might." said Izuku in an amused tone.

Everyone was silent, everyone had varied expressions on their face.

Kurogiri looked shocked, Blue haired kid looked irritated, AFO had an amused look on his face as if curious about something, while Giran had a satisfied look on his face thinking he wasn't wrong in deciding to work under Izuku.

"Atleast that's what All Might and Hero society and the public at large thinks, now that I know you are alive, well that explains your disfigured look and condition, well things get pretty interesting from here on," said Izuku with an amused smile

"Interesting, you know quite a bit kid, may I know how you know about all this, as far as I remember, I haven't made an appearance in quite a while, atleast after the final fight," asked AFO.

"I heard it from All Might, he thinks he killed you for good, well you look alive to me although not in perfect condition but alive signifying the intensity of your battle with him, and you have managed to hide yourself quite nicely if I have to say," said Izuku.

"Aren't you quite knowledgeable," asked AFO

"Ohh, I know quite a bit about you, symbol of evil, All For One, a being who has been alive for more than 2 centuries, who started stealing quirks and forming his army when the quirks were a new thing, I even know about the rivalry between All For One and One for All your arch nemesis, which started with your younger brother, who you thought was quirkless, and gave him a stockpiling quirk, which your brother passed on to someone else in hopes of defeating you, and it continued till now, with All Might being the 8th generation holder of OFA, and now One For All is the biggest thorn in your plans to conquer Japan, isn't it right Symbol of Evil," said Izuku looking at the computer monitor.

Everyone was silent, even AFO.

After a few minutes of silence, as everyone looked at Izuku in shock, a burst of laughter was heard which filled the entire silent and empty bar.

"Haha Haha, you are quite right about it, or rather you just summarised 2 centuries old rivalry in just a few minutes, and that too quite accurately, now the question arises how do you know all this, as far as I'm concerned, there isn't much about me mentioned in Japan's history trying to save its face, so the question comes how do you know about this?" asked AFO.

"Well I have heard about it on the internet from a few people, although that was just considered rumors, but recently someone was gracious enough to confirm the rumors for me, and I just connected all the dots and got the full history of the greatest villain the symbol of evil also know as AFO," explained Izuku.

"Interesting, and who might be this someone who was gracious enough to confirm the rumors for you be?" asked AFO.

"Isn't it obvious, All Might, your arch nemesis who put you in that state," said Izuku nonchalantly.

"And why would he say all that to you, what might be your relationship as you said, to my current arch-nemesis, current holder of OFA and the symbol of peace All might who as you rightly said put me in this state?" asked AFO.

Everyone listened to him intently as this was a very dangerous piece of information and an even more dangerous exchange of information taking place between two people who looked at each other with interest.

"Do you take me for an informant of your? That's all the free information you will get, your trial period is over, and from now on it will cost you something, for I am the new information broker of Japan, who has information on all heroes, I ain't your subordinate, if you want more information then you will have to meet me in person, I am here for business not to give away all the valuable information worth billions just for free, and I will do business when I meet you face to face, not through a TV screen,

AFO, I am here to have a deal with the devil not to submit to the devil, arrange a place of meeting and I'll tell you everything you wish to know, and after that, I'll tell you the cost of all the information I gave you, as you who has been alive for more than 2 centuries would know there is no such thing as free lunch in this world, it always comes at a price, and I am a follower of Law of Equivalent Exchange." said Izuku as he cleared where he stands in front of AFO

"_" Everyone was silent once again surprised by the guts of this kid and how he was talking to the symbol of evil AFO as if talking to someone of his age on an equal footing.
