Losing Money to Be a Chapter 901 - SUCCESSOR (5)

Chapter 901: SUCCESSOR (5)

Phil was in the perfect position: the position of an outsider.

That was because he had no interests with the superheroes. He was giving directions with the perspective of God, so Phil himself had no flaws. The people were very supportive and encouraged his behavior. The other superheroes had to worry about the public’s influence even if they were unhappy and wanted to teach Phil a lesson.

Ten months passed just like that.

The fans that Phil had accumulated as a ntor in the “Successor” program had been perfectly converted into his personal fans. A large number of people really believed that Phil was a person with genuine talent.

Everyone knew that Phil had assistants but which superhero did not have assistants and managers? It was very normal to have assistants. Most people still believed in Phil’s personal abilities.

Ten months later, Phil finally found another opportunity.

This ti, the black apprentice in ‘Successor’ was severely injured and made unconscious by a super criminal who was stronger than him because of his misjudgnt of the criminal’s strength.

Phil, who was this black apprentice ntor, could be said to be the guide of this apprentice. His evaluation of this matter naturally had a weight in the public’s mind.

Phil first went to the hospital to visit this black apprentice. His sad expression was moving. At that mont, the barrier between white people and black people, rich people and commoners seed to have been broken. Everyone only saw the sincere feelings between a ntor and his apprentice.

Phil t the girlfriend of this black apprentice and gave her many precious gifts as condolences. He also very generously expressed that he would pay for all the dical expenses of this black apprentice.

The black apprentice’s girlfriend was deeply moved. She talked about her daily life with the black apprentice in front of the cara.

The black apprentice respected Phil very much. He felt that Phil had been kind to him. He would ask himself before each mission: What would ntor Phil do if he encountered such a situation? No matter whether the missions he completed were successful or not, he would always reflect upon the situation: Would there have been a better way to deal with such a situation if ntor Phil was the one who encountered it?

In the end, the black apprentice’s girlfriend repeated the famous words of a superhero senior: With great power cos great responsibility. She hoped that Phil could beco a superhero and really contribute to changing the world.

Phil was silent for a long ti, but he did not give an imdiate answer. Instead, he said that he would consider it and then announced his decision on Twitter.

Two days later, Phil posted an inspiring tweet.

He said that his current life was relaxed and comfortable, and he had a career that he was willing to fight for. Becoming a superhero ant that he had to give up his dia company and his current free life. This was a huge sacrifice for him.

However, his words took an imdiate turn.

The successors of Captain World had beco pedantic. The superhero system that the people were proud of was gradually going downhill.

Superheroes who had been famous for a long ti were obsessed with fa and fortune. They were increasingly less concerned about the lives of ordinary people. They held high positions but did not do anything. They had completely broken away from the people at the lower ranks of society.

The Superhero Association had obtained a huge amount of comrcial value from the superheroes. They were increasingly passionate about creating stars, packaging, and eliminating negative news. They often lied to the people when their stupid arrangents caused many ordinary people to be hurt from cris;

There were also ordinary people like this black guy who were filled with passion to beco superheroes. They had passion but did not have enough strength to change the situation.

Phil said on Twitter that even though becoming a superhero would be a huge sacrifice for himself, he had enough of the superheroes’ inaction and the suffering that the problems that cri brought to this city. He decided to stand up and beco a superhero to change the situation.

He hoped that all the citizens would support him and recreate the spirit of Captain World with him. He wanted to reduce the cri rate and save the tragedies that might happen in the future so that superheroes could return to the right track.

This tweet imdiately received a warm response, and he skipped the first stage to directly obtain the power of a superhero.

Phil’s actions had alerted the Superhero Association. Phil was an uncertain factor to the association. They were worried that Phil would cause greater damage to the existing system after entering the association. Therefore, they did not invite Phil but used the ‘association rules’ to reject him.

Phil was more than happy for that to have happened.

Joining the Superhero Association was ordinary superheroes’ only choice. Not joining ant that they had no reputation, no exposure, and would not be able to accept missions. At the sa ti, it would be difficult to contact their sponsors to provide them with the next stage of the campaign funds.

However, Phil did not need these. Joining the Superhero Association would instead beco a kind of restraint on him.

Thus, Phil chose to beco a ‘lone ranger’. He wandered outside the entire superhero system. He would only personally take action if he encountered sothing that would 100% beco successful.

On top of that, Phil continued to bribe the criminals through a middleman. He knew the criminal’s plan in advance and stopped the cri perfectly.

That was because most of the missions that had to be carried out were not dangerous. A small portion of them had been arranged. There were no unknown missions that were forcibly assigned by the association like other heroes. Therefore, Phil’s success rate in carrying out missions was especially high.

Phil would arrange for his dia company and the television stations that he was on good terms with to report on it every ti he had successfully carried out a mission. He would also disclose so details of the operation to his fans on Twitter.

Moreover, Phil had made a huge fuss about the fact that he had not joined the Superhero Association. There were three benefits to this:

First of all, it could give all the fans a feeling of ‘volunteer work’. Phil would appear more noble and independent compared to those who beca superheroes for fa and profit.

Second, he did not need to participate in missions that were difficult, had low success rate, and missions which he was unwilling to take action. Furthermore, his fans could not question his every move. He could not obtain detailed information about various missions without being in the Superhero Association after all. Phil could say that it was too late when he got to know of the situations;

Finally, he could continue to objectively evaluate missions that he had not participated in. At the sa ti, he could complete missions with his free will. This way, he could shut the mouths of those who said “do it if you can”. He would not be afraid to participate in missions that he could not control.

Thus, Phil continued to accumulate fa through this thod. In the hearts of his fans, he was a true superhero with ability, faith, and emotions. The only problem was that he did not have enough supporters. Thus, Phil’s superpower was limited and he could not complete bigger things.

On the other hand, the Superhero Association’s’ jealousy, suppression, and obstruction’ of Phil made him suffer unfair treatnt. Many fans also felt indignant for him. The fans were becoming more and more extre in their unity.

However, Phil knew very well that such a state could not last forever.

He would one day arouse the disgust of the superheroes if he continued to make digs at the Superhero Associations. He had to enter the next stage as soon as possible and obtain more power.

Thus, he entered the third stage and prepared the agenda for himself to be a superhero and also for his participation in the Superhero election.

Many superheroes scoffed after Phil released the news because his qualifications were not enough to participate in such a level of campaign.

Other superheroes often had to accumulate for two to three years before they could start preparing for the superhero election. However, Phil was obviously advancing too fast and his foundation was not firm.

Phil had three very difficult problems to solve from the perspective of the other superheroes in order to participate in the election. He had to obtain more support, and more powerful superpowers.

First of all, no large financial group would provide him with campaign funds. Of course, Phil could use his own money as campaign funds. That was relatively easy to resolve.

Second, Phil could not give a public speech or debate in the venue where the Superhero Association was located because he had not joined the Association. His na would be nominated, but this nomination would only be symbolic. It was difficult for him to obtain votes because there was no opportunity for him to appear.

Finally, Phil did not have a very clear representation group. The minority, transgender, foreign immigrants, and other groups already had their own heroes. Phil’s image was incompatible with the appeal of these groups. It would only be one vote per person with just his fans, no matter how strong they were. He would be eliminated after one round at best.

Therefore, most superheroes, even the official mbers of the association who organized the Superhero election, felt that this was another performance of Phil’s. They did not take this matter to heart at all.

However, they soon realized that they were wrong: Phil had obviously thought about these problems beforehand.
