Hero League Headquarter
On the top floor of the Headquarters of the Hero League, an Emergency Meeting was being held by the Seven Heads of the League.
Every single one of them was a hardcore survivor of the Great Catastrophe and the ones to have reached the pinnacle of humanity, the SS Rank.
The mana density was so strong that if anyone below A Rank entered the room, just the sheer pressure would have made them faint on the spot.
It was a very delicate time for Humanity and understandably, everyone in the room was tensed.
After all, they were the ones who maintained the delicate peace that humanity was experiencing, and thus best understood the situation around them.
"Now that everyone's here, let's begin the Emergency Meeting. What is first on today's agenda?" Rufus' rough voice echoed throughout the room, turning the attention of every SS Rank Hero at him.
Despite all the powerful gazes at him, he sat unwavering at the head of the table, making everyone aware of just how much more powerful he was than all of them.
At Rufus' command, Byron, his personal assistant, stepped forward. With a snap of his fingers, hologram screens explaining the situation opened up in front of every executive.
"The first discussion is regarding the escape of the Elf prisoner who was captured by A+ Rank Hero, Sakura Kazuya, and detained in the League Headquarters' dungeon. According to the investigators, traces of an unidentified Beastman were found along with the Elf. However, when further tracking was conducted outside the headquarters, their traces seemed to have completely disappeared."
Slam!
A loud bang startled the table.
"What is the <Head of Security> doing if prisoners are just escaping like this?"
The complainant was Lakshmi Agarwal, a beautiful brown-skinned woman with black hair and eyes, wearing a vibrant blue saree with hems made of pure gold.
Despite being the weakest SS Rank Hero in the room, her opinion probably carried the most weight in this room, right after Rufus'.
This was because she was the <Head of Treasury> of the League and was in charge of every penny that was spent or earned by the League.
When Earth was in the early stages of the Catastrophe and chaos was prevalent all over the continent, she had single-handedly brought up the economy.
It was also the reason why the currency currently circulating in the Human Continent - R, followed a similar set of rates and rules as her home country's - the Indian Rupee.
Aside from that, she was also directly or indirectly involved in around 70% of the companies on the continent and was directly responsible for 50% of the continent's annual income.
Her SS-Rank title was 'Kubera's Blessed', due to her various monetary achievements. Although many suspected her Skills, which had been very carefully hidden from the public eye, also had something to do with her title.
Considering her position, and the fact that she was responsible for each of their department's budgets, nobody dared to ignore her opinion.
"Odera, how are your boys working if they are letting a mere C Rank Elf escape under their watch?"
The man at the other end of her rebuke was a six-and-a-half feet tall Nigerian-descent man, with muscles that looked like they could crush a coin with their hands.
