By the time the mob of criminals arrived, Akira and Himiko had already moved away and were near the exit.

POV OF LEADER THE GANG

Today was a normal day, in our headquarters, although we have had problems in recent days because the company that sponsored us received a severe blow, for which our funding decreased but today they brought us a job that would give us the opportunity to recover our funds.

Attack those in charge of that the company losing money, although did not discover the identity of the targets, we knew that there were 2, a man and a woman, they lived in a house that was given to them as payment for the work, so now it was up to us to visit them and let them know who this neighborhood belonged to and why they shouldn't mess with our gang, the .

We gathered our best guys, about 50 people, those were our main members and we marched towards the house.

When we arrived we surrounded her to prevent them from escaping and I sent my second in command to open the door.

"Jikai open that door, today we are going to show them who is the head of this city hahahaha"

Jikai, a criminal who dressed as a gangster, with a colorful suit, had a scar on his face and a cigar in his mouth, advanced towards the door and when he raised his hand, he turned into a sharp sword, which later went down diagonally towards the door, making it split in two. Upon entering, Jikai calls the boss over him.

"Boss, all free, it seems that there is no one" Jikai spoke from inside.

"What? How is it possible, if Osamu scanned the area 20 minutes ago and there were two people inside" I asked looking towards Osamu another member of my band who has a very useful quirk for tracking.

Osamu, seeing that his boss was looking at him, spoke "Yes boss, you know that my quirk allows me to feel the presences within a certain range, and when I used it there were two inside, unless they discovered us and escaped before we arrived, they should follow inside"

Hearing this I hurried towards the house while yelled "quick look around the house, we can't let them escape or they will reduce our patronage further"

The gang members entered the house and after searching it quickly found the hatch in the living room.

"Boss here is a tunnel to escape, surely they discovered us and escaped through here"

When I looked at the tunnel I was worried 'damn, they escaped us, and as if that were not enough there is nothing of value in this house. I was hoping to find the money they had earned from their jobs, but they surely ran away with it, arghh shit.'

"I want twenty to stay here and follow this tunnel to the end and try to find them, the rest I want them to destroy and burn this whole house, if they see something of value they give it to me, I want there not to be a single foundation at the end of the day on this ground"

With this, the band was divided, with about twenty entering the tunnel and the rest of the members were left destroying and looking for things of value.

...

Akira and Himiko, when they were running at full speed, arrived in 5 minutes at the exit, when they opened the hatch they found themselves in an empty alley, and after ordering their clothes Himiko took out a container with blood and drank it, thus transforming into an old woman, Akira put on a cap with a mask while supporting Himiko and they began to walk down the street like a grandmother and grandson couple.

They walked to a cafe with personal booths which they entered and after ordering 2 juices they talked.

"It seems we managed to escape without any problem" Akira spoke while drinking his juice.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"Hmmm, but we lost our house and left behind most of our clothes, now I will have to start from scratch" Himiko spoke somewhat depressed that she had to leave most of her things behind her.

"I know, I don't like it either, but at least we managed to save the money so we can buy more clothes later. For the moment we must find out who attacked us and I think I know who it was, once we confirm this we will take revenge" Akira spoke with anger in his words.

Paying for their drinks, they left the establishment and, still disguised, went to the location of someone capable of confirming the identity of their attackers.

They arrived in front of a normal store that seemed closed, but when they entered they found a receptionist.

"Welcome dear customers, how can I help you?"

"We want to talk to Giran" Akira asked directly about Giran, the owner of this place and a specialist in gathering information. Besides that, he is the same one who worked with the league of villains.

For Akira it was a surprise that Giran was living in Gifu, but after considering it he thought it made sense, Gifu is a prefecture close to important cities like Musutafu, and as he had said before it was a place where the presence of Heroes had diminished, making it the perfect place to have his business.

Akira and Himiko had met Giran a few years ago, after he hired them for a job, after that they made several collaborations and although they are not friends, they developed camaraderie and trust with each other.

As they entered the back they found Giran who seemed to be already waiting for them.

"Welcome, I see you managed to escape" Giran spoke with a slight smile.

"Yes, but we lost a lot, our love nest was lost" Himiko spoke sadly, who had returned to her original appearance. And if you wonder why we show our true appearance to Giran, it is because of trust.

We were confident that Giran would not betray us, and this can be seen in how he remained faithful to the canon even under torture to the point of losing his fingers.

Besides, it was not very difficult for someone like Giran to know our identity, so instead of trying to hide, they decided to use it to his advantage.

They revealed his identities to him, in a show of confidence, and then hired him to do whatever he could to cover up his existence.

It was not very difficult to convince Giran, after all, he does not get along with big companies and that includes the government, which constantly bothers his business, and the payment they offered was generous.

This is how they managed to get Giran to divert the search attempts of the H.E.Q institute to other prefectures and that they could continue living in Gifu quietly.

"You must know why we are here, tell me who attacked us"

Hey, author here, I just wanted to thank Luc for the sponsorship, that's why I'll upload this chapter a day before. I hope you enjoy it.

******************************************************************************

"Hehehehe always straight to the point no? Well Drac, due to our friendship I am going to tell you at the same price as always. It was the Black Hawk gang, most of you already know all the information, but you must be especially careful with their Kunoki leader who has a quirk that seems to be mind control and Jikai sub-leader who can turn his arms into swords."

Drac was the fake name Akira used in front of the others. "Ok, thanks for the information and I'll be careful" paid for the information and then they left the premises.

POV OF GIRAN

Today was an interesting day, to say the least, after all the pair of kids came into conflict with Gifu's leading gang.

The question here is. It will be the pair of children who lose or it will be the band of THE HAWKS BLACKS that is destroyed.

Hehehehe, I still remember when I met this pair of brats. It was about three years ago, at first we had some simple businesses so I was not very interested in them, but the surprise was when they revealed themselves by showing that they were only two 10-year-olds.

Although I did not understand why they showed me their identity at first, later I understood.

Apparently, they are fugitives from a quirk correction institute. Heh, they call me a villain, but even I find what those places do repulsive.

In the end, they explained to me that they wanted my help to cover up their location and not find out that they were hiding here.

Do not consider it too much, you not had to think, it was a simple job in which I had to annoy his pursuers by giving them false clues of his whereabouts to distract them, besides that they were going to pay me hehehe, I must say that I like that pair.

They know what is important in business, without trust any deal would fail, so their willingness to tell me their identity is a show of trust which I will appreciate.

After three years of business with them, we have formed some kind of friendly/commercial relationship, so I already expected them to come for me to know the information about their attacker. It will be entertaining to watch such a large gang get destroyed.

...

When Himiko and Akira left, they went to a hotel where they rented a room for the night. In the room, they both lay down on the bed.

"Hahhh, for today let's rest, tomorrow we will plan what we are going to do and our revenge" Akira hugged Himiko and in turn also surrounded her with his arms.

"Hmmm, sleep over Aki." "Rest, Himiko."

Even thinking about their revenge they went to sleep.
