Yu Sheng Nan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at her resigned yet forcedly calm demeanor.
I like smart people like that.
He casually placed the temporary antidote on the bedside table.
“A complete antidote will take time to develop, and it will also require… more ‘clinical data’ and support.” He spoke casually, as if discussing an ordinary research project. “After all, the principles involved in this kind of drug that reverses cell telomeres and biological age are extremely complex.”
He walked to the bedside, looking down at the curled-up blonde little girl, his fingertips gently brushing through her golden hair.
"Although we have some... rather special methods at home that can restore you to your original state immediately."
“But,” he changed his tone, becoming serious, “as a responsible… well, ‘family doctor,’ I certainly can’t do that. Although Western medicine works quickly, it is still medicine with side effects and can easily lead to dependence.”
His fingers slid down her hair to her cheek, the movement gentle yet irresistible.
"Although the current method is slow to take effect and has a long treatment course, it has the advantage of gentle conditioning, strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the body, and the effect is long-lasting, making it the best for health."
He leaned down and whispered seductively in her ear:
"When it comes to my dear aunt, I will definitely choose the best and safest option and take full responsibility for you."
"We need to... take it slow."
"Treating your body little by little."
"To completely restore your health."
His words echoed in Mary Akai's ears like the whispers of a demon.
She understood that the so-called "gradual conditioning" and "complete recovery" were nothing more than fancy rhetoric for a long process of control. She would have to come to him again and again, exchanging humiliation and submission for that little bit of hope of "recovery".
Like a flying insect caught in a spider web, little by little... it sank into the web he wove called "transaction," unable to break free.
Mary Akai gripped the bedsheet tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms.
But in the end, reason prevailed over useless anger, and he nodded very slightly, as if resigned to his fate.
To survive, to recover, and also... perhaps to ease tensions with the other party and save Shuichi's troublesome son...
She seemed to have no other choice.
This is the tragedy of the weak, and also... the reality.
As Yu Shengnan watched her silent compromise, the curve of his lips deepened.
very good.
Very good. It seems that this cold-blooded aunt has begun to learn to "obey" after "in-depth communication" and "earnest teachings".
This is truly a...good, memorable start.
.........
Inside the room.
Yuzuru admired the complex expression on Akai Mary's face—a mixture of suppressed humiliation and forced acceptance of reality—and felt quite satisfied.
Although the process of this "visit" had some minor "unexpected" moments, the result was quite in line with expectations, and even exceeded expectations—successfully winning over a former top agent aunt.
He straightened his collar, his gaze falling on Sera Masumi, who was still fast asleep on the carpet, even snoring softly. A playful smile crept onto his lips.
This cousin... aside from making a fuss and trying to resist, only to be instantly suppressed, she didn't seem to play any role at all, and is now fast asleep.
She gives off a strong impression of being an "incompetent daughter".
This contrasts sharply with her mother, who could quickly regain her composure and negotiate even in dire situations.
Genetic inheritance...it seems that one can be biased towards certain subjects.
Mary Akai followed his gaze to her daughter, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
There was worry, and also a hint of... helplessness.
"rest assured."
Yuzuru said casually, "She's just asleep. After all, she's my dear cousin, I wouldn't do anything to her. Besides..."
He paused, then looked meaningfully at Akai Mary, his tone slightly teasing: "...I suppose you, Aunt, wouldn't want Masumi to see that... well, 'in-depth' treatment process just now, would you?"
Treatment process...
Mary Akai's cheeks flushed uncontrollably, then she pursed her lips and turned her head away.
Yuzuru Hanyu didn't mind and walked briskly towards the door, ready to end this "pleasant" family visit.
As he reached the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped, and said without turning his head:
"Now that we're here in Mihua, we won't have to hide and live in fear like we did in London anymore."
"Here, as long as you behave yourselves, no one will dare to cause you any more trouble."
"That's what I said."
Upon hearing this, Mary Akai's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and she breathed a barely audible sigh of relief.
This is probably the only "good news" out of everything that happened tonight.
She believes that Yuzuru Hanyu has the ability to do it.
Judging from the terrifying strength he displayed tonight, the organization and MI6's fear of him is not unfounded. With his words, the safety of the mother and daughter in Mihua is at least guaranteed.
Powerful strength can indeed bring fear, but sometimes it can also bring... a certain degree of security.
That just so happens, she is currently experiencing a severe lack of security.
After finishing speaking, Yu Shengnan turned back for one last look at the blonde loli on the bed—she was wrapped in a sheet, fragile yet stubborn, her blue eyes filled with humiliation, calmness, and a hint of barely perceptible... peace of mind.
Great, that's exactly the effect I wanted.
Fear and hope coexist, humiliation and security intertwine—this is the most secure form of control.
He didn't linger, opened the door, and calmly disappeared into the corridor lights outside.
Give them a beating, then a sweet treat, and while they're at it, paint a rosy picture.
This person used this tactic with remarkable skill.
The door closed gently, separating the inside from the outside.
Inside the suite, only the unconscious Sera Masumi and Akai Mary, curled up on the bed, staring at the closed door with complex and unreadable expressions, remained.
The night is still long.
From this moment on, their lives in Beika Town were destined to be completely different from the past.
