??? Point Of View

In a country, far away from our protagonist's current residence, the Interpol emergency council was holding a distressing meeting concerning our protagonist's actions this past month.

Presenter: That's 47 we know from just this week. A massive record, one that's never been reached. Most were extremely dangerous criminals and men and women in high positions, all making at least 100. Some even included the very heroes that couldn't make it to this meeting. May their souls rest in peace while we mourn.

Everyone listened in silence, taking in the information just presented to them.

???: So the Interpol is finally acting...

I looked through my monitor which was overseeing the entire meeting.

???: I won't be able to avoid helping the police in a case like this.

Officer #1: Well, all these people should've died anyways! You knew what Major Kenny did to those kids!

Officer #2: Who said that?!

Officer #3: No matter what, killing is still a crime!

Officer #4: But you can't be sure if those were murders, right?

Officer #3: What else could it have been? People who were accused of such massive crimes, died on such a massive scale, in such a short amount of time. There has to be a perpetrator behind these!

Officer #5: It's impossible to organize a mass murder of such a massive scale and frequency.

Officer #6: We think that a large crime syndicate are behind this unexplained phenomenon.

"IT MUST BE THE FBI OR CIA!"

"ONE OF THEM IS DEFINITELY AMONG US!"

"WHAT'RE YOU SAYING?!"

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE, MAN!"

"STOP KIDDING AROUND. THIS IS SERIOUS!"

The hall erupted into arguments and screaming, each person trying to make their voice heard, no matter what.

Officer #6: That settles it. We'll have to call on L to solve this.

The man shut every experienced officer's mouth up by uttering a single name.

Officer #1: Um, who's L?

The inexperienced officer scooted over to ask his elder.

Officer #5: L is somebody whose name, face, and whereabouts are a secret.

Seems like my reputation supersedes me...

Officer #5: He keeps himself in the deepest secrecy, solving cases after impossible cases, all over the world. You could call him a private investigator, of some sort. Anyway, we have no clue who he is. Except that he can solve any case.

Officer #3: But L is kind of stubborn... are you sure he'll be willing to lend a hand?

Officer #4: Stubbornness aside, how can we even contact him?

Watari: Gentlemen, L is already on it.

My personal assistant makes his appearance on the stage of the giant hall, wearing nothing but a black coat and black hat to hide his identity while he carried a laptop with him

"WATARI!"

Young-Officer: Watari...? Another Japanese delegate?

Older-Officer: No, but he's the only contact we have with L.
