That same day, Endeavor received an eviction notice. The police came to the building to arrest him, albeit unwillingly. When he heard about the charges against him he was even more angered. He was about to go as far as beating the police officers.
But his lawyers stopped him as they could easily get him out. The sad reality was that like many other countries around the world, r*pe prosecutions in Japan were fairly rare and even if a suspect was found guilty, many dodge prison by apologizing and paying damages. First-time offenders often walk away with a suspended sentence, even if they were convicted.
The case against Endeavor was just one sexual harassment so they didn't even bat an eye on it and would just get it to be dismissed by showing that it was an act of vengeance by the ex-secretary to tarnish the reputation of Endeavor.
But they didn't know who they were against yet. As soon as he was arrested. All the news channels in Japan started to report the news. With the footage of his arrest, the footage of him touching many female employees of his agency, and a video interview with the ex-secretary. All of this immediately dropped the approval rating and likeness of Endeavor to the lowest. On the internet, Endeavor was constantly being put in the same leagues as villains.
Initially, the government tried to stop this from happening but soon, they found out that this was not possible. They wanted to stop the news media from reporting on it and also censor the internet. This way, the news would have automatically died out after they started a mass campaign soon, detailing all good deeds done by Endeavor. But they didn't want to go against Alexander.
Endeavor who had been put in a luxury cell in the police station due to his status was suddenly transferred to a normal cell after the police realized that the matter was much bigger than they had expected and now the case was going to the court.
Endeavor's lawyers met him and told him what they would do. "Sir, we have to fight with all forces now, otherwise your reputation will never be cleaned. The Hero Public Safety Commission has also now launched a probe. If you don't get these charges honorably discharged you will likely lose your Pro Hero Licence."
"Did you try to settle the matter with that damn woman?" He asked angrily.
"Sir, she has refused to settle. In fact, she has hired some lawyers from the United States." The lawyer told him.
Endeavor sighed and sat back. ~ Who did I offend?~
Even his lawyers had the same question in their minds.
...
All this happened in a span of hours. Alexander in the meantime was at Todoroki estate, eating the lunch made by Fuyumi. Alexander had to agree, she was every bit as good at cooking as Olivia said.
"Are you sure your quirk is not cooking? Okay, you have won the recipe for Butterbeer," Alexander praised her.
*Beep Beep*
Alexander read the message and smiled. "Shoto, go and switch the T.V. on. Let's watch the news. Endeavor is on it."
The moment the news channel was put on. It showed the video footage of the Endeavor getting arrested. Followed by the harassment video.
All of the people in the room except Alexander were surprised.
"I knew he was bad but not this bad." Natsuo Todoroki commented. He was the second son of Enji and Rei Todoroki.
It was weird to everyone that the 2nd most powerful hero in the country wasn't brought down by a villain but instead a lawsuit.
The receptionist took the golden card and checked it. It showed.
"World Hero Council
Hero Name - Golden Grandpa
Hero Rank - 1(Global)
Authority Level - XXXXX
Area of activity - World
Retired - 26/3/1969
New Rank - 1(Global, Lifetime)"
The man's eyes nearly popped out from the sockets. He looked up at Alexander and then at the photo. Due to the short hair and beard in the photo, the current Alexander was unrecognizable. Even more so with his glasses and cigar.
"I-I-I... will..." The receptionist started stuttering. Alexander shook him a little and gave him water, fearing that the man might pass out from excitement, shock, or something else that he was feeling.
"Just call the President's office and tell her that I have come to meet her," Alexander reminded him.
The man nodded and quickly, albeit clumsily, called the office.
"M-Ma'am... there is Golden G-Grandpa here. He wants to see you." He informed.
"Yes, I checked the ID. It is really him." He added.
"WHAT? Give him tea, I will come down right now." the other side's loud voice came.
Suddenly the phone was cut with a loud thud. Alexander was the No.1 hero in the world. This officially made him the strongest human on the planet and no one wanted to mess with the strongest man in the world.
