In a world where quirks were a plague,  people deluding themselves to be heroes or villains, driven into madness by what most likely originated from rats, there was still some purity after all.

He had honestly not expected that you were quirkless. Given how society looks down on those without a quirk, it was actually surprising you made it this far. You didn't need a quirk, you saw the bigger picture, just like him. You knew what this world needed and you adapted. People like you were meant to rise.

Your family was sick but you were not affected by this sickness, both your mind and body kept clean from this plague. What a precious thing you were. So pure, there was nothing to cure. Despite all the vulnerability, there was so much power which could be easily exploited or taken away if you fell into the wrong hands. And he was so lucky that it was his hands you have played into... the ways he could use you...

"Boss, she's here."

The job you gave him had been done, a surprisingly easy one at that. All they had to do was frame one of the CEOs of your rivaling company for embezzlement. You would keep your word and drop by today to hand the payment. 

You entered, looking nice as you usually do. He liked how presentable you always looked, how your clothes flaunted your figure, so easy on the eyes, unlike all those female heroes who dressed like clowns.

Ada and Basti had come with you, carrying 2 suitcases each. They set them down and Mimic begun opening them and counting the money inside. It was... quite a substantial amount. Of course you had more than you let on. The pace of his heart beat quickened at the realization. If he could be regularly receive this kind of amount from you by working for you, his plans would come to fruition so much faster at this rate.

Mimic finished up and had his fellow associates help him carry the suitcases away. 

"I'll be giving you tasks every now and then and pay you the same amount every 3 months. I also want you to help me clean my tracks and keep all my personal details private. Should anyone discover where I live or that I'm quirkless or any other sensitive information, please take care of them immediately. Do we have deal?"

"Of course. Anything you want." For this price, he would be willing to do anything to please you. Dirty his hands for you, while you safely slept in your glass tower, away from all filth. He would protect you form both heroes and villain, keep you safe and pure in this plagued world which he would cure soon. 

"I've got 3 people I want you to help me deal with." You lay 3 pages on the table. "This is a CEO of a successful video game company and I've been trying to buy them for a while but he's always refused me. I've recently got wind he has an extramarital affair with a college student. Use that information and blackmail him into selling me all of his assets."

He nodded and instructed Chrono to collect the profile. Even though you knew that your secret had been exposed to them, you still went straight down to business. It was rather amusing to him.

"The next person I need you to track down for me is the burglar that managed to break into my house. I couldn't find any other information so please find him and kill him. Return my stuff to me if you can, that is if he didn't sell them already."

"The third one..." You pointed at Kusumoto's profile. "Just keep watching him. Try to dig up whatever dirt you can find on him. I'll decide how to deal with him."

"We'll get it done before you know it." He was going to work hard for you. Everything he has done so far has always been for the Shie Hassaikai. He would make you depend on them and monopolize you. Your success meant his success. Unless, he would find someone who could pay them even more. But he was not foolish enough to let this opportunity slip. "Do you have any meetings left for tonight, or are you free?"
