Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes
Chapter 142: Sherry's Sudden Realization, Black-on-Black Crime
『Akemi Miyano』: I can't believe the Black Organization has been wiped out.
Still, thinking about Carl's identity... I guess it makes some sense.
『Carl』: So, what are your plans now?
『Shiho Miyano』: I think going abroad would be a good idea. My sister carried out missions for the Black Organization this time. Staying here might bring some trouble.
『Akemi Miyano』: Yeah, I was planning to go abroad anyway. Also, I want to find a chance to return the ten billion yen.
『Carl』: That won't be necessary. I've already erased the records of that incident. The people involved have also been hypnotized—they remember nothing. If you want to stay in Japan, it's fine.
『Akemi Miyano』: Really?
She looked surprised. What Carl said sounded completely outlandish.
Destroying the Black Organization was already hard to believe.
And now... he said even the ten billion yen robbery incident had been dealt with?
With hypnosis?
Is Superman really that powerful?
『Carl』: Yes.
『Shiho Miyano』: In that case, let's stay in Japan for now.
Even though what Carl said was hard to believe... things like Superman, other worlds, and a chat group already exist.
Compared to that, hypnosis doesn't sound too far-fetched.
Her parents had property in both America and Japan, with plenty of assets. They could live anywhere.
But since her sister lived in Japan, it would be more convenient.
『Carl』: Sounds good.
『Akemi Miyano』: Living in Japan isn't bad at all.
After all, she grew up here and had fond memories of the place.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
『Akemi Miyano』: By the way, I have something I want to give you. And there's a place I'd like to take you.
『Shiho Miyano』: Hmm? What place?
『Akemi Miyano』: You'll see when we get there.
『Shiho Miyano』: Alright...
Though curious, her sister's warm smile lifted her spirits.
『Carl』: Let's go now. I've already dealt with all the Black Organization members in this base.
『Akemi & Shiho』: Okay.
『Carl』: If you have anything you want to take, bring it along. Oh, and grab the data for APTX4869 too.
『Shiho Miyano』: The data? Why?
She had originally intended to take it anyway. After all, it was something she had poured her heart into developing. Even if she didn't plan on making it again, keeping the records felt like preserving a part of her past.
But she couldn't help being curious—why did Carl specifically ask for it?
Could it be... he's interested in the drug?
『Carl』: No particular reason. I just think you might need it someday.
He was actually thinking about Conan.
Carl genuinely wanted Conan to return to normal. Whether that would work or not depended on luck.
『Shiho Miyano』: Me? Use it? What would I use it for...?
Wait—
『Shiho Miyano』: Ah! You mean I might need the research data in the future?
Before Carl could respond, she nodded.
『Shiho Miyano』: That makes sense. Even if I don't plan to make the drug again, some of its components and effects could be useful for future research.
『Shiho Miyano』: As expected of Superman—you really think ahead.
『Carl』: …
(You're overthinking it, girl...)
He just thought it might help Conan recover.
Carl had always wanted Conan to return to normal, and while the desire wasn't as strong as before, the thought remained.
Without saying more, Shiho started copying the data.
Akemi helped her pack a few daily items—mostly just clothes.
Before long, they were ready.
『Shiho Miyano』: All done. Let's go.
They instinctively walked toward the door.
But suddenly, their vision blurred.
When it cleared, they found themselves in a secluded alleyway.
Both sisters turned in surprise to look at Carl.
They knew he was fast, but why bring them out in such a hurry?
『Carl』: That building has surveillance cameras. It'd be a hassle if someone noticed anything strange. The equipment from inside has already been taken. If you ever want it, just ask me.
Not just the equipment—Carl had taken anything valuable from the base when he wiped out the organization.
The Black Organization's leader had been a filthy-rich tycoon.
Carl didn't understand the value of some of the collectibles, so he took them all—along with cash, precious metals, and gems.
He'd collected over 200 billion yen in cash alone, most of it from the leader's home.
After all, he had annihilated the entire organization.
For reference, 200 billion yen is about $1.8 billion USD.
Hmm... not that much.
The gems, precious metals, and collectibles were probably worth more.
Still, it was a nice bonus.
Carl hadn't planned on looting initially.
The leader had assumed Carl came for money, and when bullets failed to work, he quickly surrendered.
That's when Carl realized how wealthy the man was.
So he decided to rob the robbers.
He didn't feel bad about it.
If he hadn't taken the money, who knows what the Black Organization would have used it for?
In that sense, he had done the world a favor.
Compared to his own assets, that money was pocket change.
But hey—who doesn't like having more money?
Initially, Carl had no way of carrying such a massive haul.
But then he remembered—he had space manipulation abilities.
So he used spatial power to wrap everything and created a personal storage space.
From then on, every time he dealt with a Black Organization member, he'd repeat the process.
