A smile spread across Raiden's face upon hearing the news. "That's excellent! We should consider filing a lawsuit," he suggested confidently.

Caught off guard by the conversation he had unwittingly overheard, Denki's expression transformed into one of shock and disbelief. The revelation about the evidence against Endeavor had left him astounded, his mind racing with the implications of such a revelation.

He couldn't believe that Raiden's friends had managed to gather evidence against someone as prominent as Endeavor. But would it be enough? Denki patiently waited for Raiden to conclude his conversation on the phone.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later," Raiden said, ending the call.

Seizing the opportunity, Denki decided to seek some clarification. "Dad, what do you mean by filing a lawsuit?" he inquired, curiosity and concern lacing his voice.

Raiden looked at Denki with a smile, though there was a certain weight to his gaze. "My friends have found evidence against Endeavor," he explained.

Perplexed, Denki pressed for more details. "What kind of evidence?" he asked, his mind racing with thoughts about Endeavor's past actions and the potential consequences of bringing them to light.

"Well, there's evidence related to Touya," Raiden responded, his tone carrying a mixture of seriousness and determination.

Denki gave his father a deadpan stare, his expression conveying disbelief and skepticism. He found it hard to believe that finding one piece of evidence related to Touya's abuse would be enough to incriminate Endeavor, especially considering his countless heroic deeds.

"Dad, are you sure that Touya's case alone will be enough?" Denki questioned, his voice laced with doubt. He couldn't help but worry about the potential repercussions and the ability of the court to overlook Endeavor's notable accomplishments.

Raiden raised an eyebrow, seeking to understand Denki's line of thinking. "What do you mean?" he inquired, genuinely interested in his son's perspective.

Denki took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding. "Well... will the court judges overlook Endeavor's heroic deeds and solely focus on the abuse allegations?" he asked, highlighting the potential conflict between Endeavor's status as a hero and the accusations against him.

Raiden nodded, understanding the gravity of Denki's concerns. "Of course they will. We have evidence to support our case," he assured his son.

Denki shook his head, his doubts still lingering. "But, Dad, I think we need more evidence to strengthen our position. Touya's case alone might not be enough," he suggested, wanting to ensure a solid case against Endeavor.

Denki hoped that his father would consider his viewpoint, as he was aware of the complexities involved. However, if his plea fell on deaf ears, Denki had a backup plan to pursue.

"Denki-" Raiden began to reply.

"Please, Dad!" Denki interjected, giving Raiden his best puppy-dog eyes. It was a tactic he knew had a high success rate when it came to persuading his father.

Raiden tried to resist the charm, but ultimately, he found himself giving in to Denki's plea. Letting out a sigh of resignation, he conceded, "Fine."

Denki couldn't help but cheer in triumph, surprised that his Plan B had worked. Even though his Charm stat was only ranked as an F, luck seemed to be on his side this time.

"Haa," Raiden sighed once again, unable to resist Denki's charm. "So, Denki, what do you suggest we do?"

Denki took a moment to gather his thoughts before presenting his idea. "Dad, I think we should wait. Instead of actively seeking more evidence, we should allow the evidence to come to us," he proposed.
