Her self-imposing attitude was beyond the bars. Just from a glance alone, Hiro could tell that he couldn't talk sense with the woman before him.
The guard, apologized, "Sorry, mam. This gentleman over here wanted to apologize to you personally. So, I brought him over."
The lady cast a dismissive glance at Hiro, her lip curling in distaste before she returned her icy gaze to the guard, "You people really can't handle even the simplest tasks, can you?" she said, her voice dripping with condescension.
She then turned her attention back to Hiro, eyes narrowing as if he were beneath her notice. "Well, go on then. Apologize quickly and leave. My time is far too valuable for this nonsense."
Hiro felt his patience being tested, but he held himself together. Anyone else might have lost their temper by now, but Hiro remained calm, determined not to give in to her provocations. "I understand you're upset, ma'am," Hiro began, his voice steady but firm, "but there's no need to treat people this way. Respect goes both ways."
The woman scoffed, clearly unimpressed, "Spare me your lessons on respect. You don't know who I am or the connections I have," she sneered, her hand waving dismissively as if Hiro's words were nothing more than an annoyance.
"Do you think a little speech from a nobody like you matters?"
She then took out her phone and dialed quickly, a smug smile spreading across her face as she spoke, "Yes, I'd like to speak to the manager. Now."
Hanging up the call, she sneered, "You lot should be kicked out of the airport for you to understand."
Hiro, however, didn't say anything. He wanted to see what this lady was up to. The guard, however, looked flustered, begging, "Mam, it's not even a big deal. He's only a kid. Is there any need to be so harsh on him?"
He hadn't expected that the situation would escalate this further. Had he known, he wouldn't have brought Hiro over.
The guard was even hinting at Hiro to run away. But Hiro was adamant too. So, he refused to leave. He wanted to witness the so-called authority that lady was flaunting.
"That's him! I saw him in the news just last week!"
As more people crowded around, the woman's smug expression faltered, realizing the situation was no longer in her favor. Hiro remained calm, watching as the manager's confidence crumbled.
Naoto and the others too made their way to Hiro.
"What happened, Hiro?" said Naoto concernedly.
"He wants to kick us out of the airport," Hiro scoffed.
Hearing him, Tatsuki felt his blood boiling. His face twisted into a sneer as he scoffed, "You want to kick us out?"
Immediately others recognized them as well. The commotion grew even larger as the people recognized these stars gathered here.
What were the airport staff thinking? Did they want to kick out their national stars? Is this how they treat their national heroes?
The crowd of people couldn't help but feel furious.
Realizing the predicament he had been caught, the manager immediately changed his
attitude.
"I-I had no idea," the manager stammered, trying to regain his composure. "I apologize for the misunderstanding, Mr. Takahashi. I didn't recognize you."
Hiro gave him a level look, "You shouldn't need to recognize someone to treat them fairly," he said, his voice measured but pointed. "No one should be judged by their wealth or status."
