Normally, silencing an average human, committing dirty crimes in secret without attracting media attention—these things happened on a small scale all the time, as superheroes were also human, driven by their own base desires and greed.
However, there was a strict limit to how far they could pursue someone, especially a man like Cruxius, who was presently in the blinding media spotlight and backed by his family's immense wealth.
A clearly stupid decision and a wildly reckless action.
It seemed as though they didn't care about anyone except themselves, and this unprovoked attack on Cruxius revealed that they saw themselves as absolute, untouchable gods.
They did not care about media judgment, people's sentiments, or the laws taking action against them, simply because the government had been forgiving and was using taxpayers' money to deal with their messy collateral damage.
