You know sometimes I have to remind myself that despite the hero label they slap on themselves, the organisation as a whole is mostly a money grabbing extortionate group that likes to cosplay as good people.
Also a warning in public with witnesses everywhere seems like a really stupid move more likely to lead to people higher up asking 'why did your get a warning Pablo?'.
Ofc the paranoid sods don't realise he's put the heroland mess behind him and is focused on goldy and ginger and are going to cause problems dealing with the pair.

I'm half-expecting his two robot sidekicks, who have the fingers that Herobot lacks, to do the "Eyes on you" hand gesture as they leave.

@ghost I think you've underestimated how integral to public safety heroes are in a world where one magic user can level/decimate a city. I'm not saying Heroland is "good", I'm saying their absence would immediately require an army of magic users to replace them or rogue magic users would become local tyrants pretty quick. Saying they're only running an extortion racket is underselling how dangerous this world is. We've seen the executives at their absolute worst, not as they operate normally.

The warning is "Don't start a shonen tournament arc here, the city won't survive it."

@Ghost: The reminder helps. They were the Leroland Mercenaries. https://www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_3961
Their organization requires extortion on multiple levels. That's how they built it up at the start and the esper contracts and blackstar hero positions work through coercion. The guy running the meeting got Evyle's assistant through coercion as a new asset. Now they're trying to apply more coercion to Burk and friends.
