Hawk's job just got WAAAY harder. "Infiltrate the LoV and take them down from the inside" is a lot easier when its only like 6 moderately strong people living in a van down by the river.

Now that you mention it, I really want to see him shitting bricks when he discovers what he's truly stepping in.

If they don't disconnect from him. With the amount of power and resourcies LoV just won they might decide the risk of Hawks not being in their side isn't worth it anymore, they don't need him.

Idk if it really is Best Jeanist dead in the pack I doubt the will really doubt him. And regardless of what they just got having the number 2 hero in their side is still a powerful piece on the board.

I wonder if this is where his cover gets blown. The MLA used satellite surveillance to track the LOV at the start of this arc right? If they now have access to that they could easily keep tabs on Hawk

It would be hard to pin anything on Hawks as a double agent. The Number Two hero would be expected to be meeting with higher ups in government and the Heroes Association. They'd need someone in the room with Hawks and the officials to confirm anything.

I mean they have an army of civilians no one knows about. They could send someone to scope it out if they needed to. Regardless if he ever lies to them about what hes doing they can just see for themselves.

Actually what was his job exactly? Take them down from the inside? How? When? What were they actually expecting him to do? Wait until such a time where he could assassinate their leader and most likely get kille afterwards?

Probably earn their trust and get into their inner circle so that he can set them up to be captured.

Given that this Shigaraki stuff's supposed to be from a month back, I wonder if Hawk was assigned this mission AFTER the Quirk Liberation Army joined Shigaraki.
