“This is not a scam.”
In the library filled with the scent of ink, Sakaki Makoto ate a piece of chocolate with a calm expression on his face:
"Like I said, everyone takes what they need."
"She needs freedom?"
Kidd was confused and didn't understand.
“Freedom is only the medium.”
Sakaki Makoto glanced at his younger brother:
"What she needs is the courage to break through her dissatisfaction."
"The high-pressure education of the Hughes family is gradually eroding her nature. She is very aware of this, so she refuses to study and rebels against the family."
"And I...just put the knife in her hand."
"Emm..."
Kidd's face was full of suspicion:
“Are you sure it’s not Stockholm syndrome?”
"............"
"Giving candy and passing a knife at the same time, this is definitely the Stockholm syndrome caused by trying to sow discord!"
“........”
"Brother Kidd..."
Putting his arm around Kidd's shoulders, Sakaki Makoto said earnestly:
"I gave her candy to let her relax her guard, but you can't accuse me of deliberately creating Stockholm syndrome..."
“I am a person of professional ethics.”
"...You seem like a reformer in the old days who instigated the common people to rise up against tyranny."
“Every successful reformer is good at using people’s hearts, stirring up the deepest anger in their hearts and letting the anger burn fiercely. When the anger fills their hearts, people are no longer afraid.”
Sakaki clenched his hand into a fist and said with a smile:
"Whether it's the key or the insider..."
"I want them all!"
Kidd: “….”
This is no longer a question of whether or not to be a human being.
It's like a heifer on a roller coaster - awesome and rolling over and over.
A few minutes later...
The girl came running back holding a thick encyclopedia.
Bang!
She put the book on the stool and opened it.
At this time...
Sakaki Makoto and the others discovered that there was a whole new world inside this encyclopedia.
There is a hole in the book, and in the hole is a brass key.
"Grandpa Carmen hid the key in this book, and no one knew about it except for the most important members of the family."
The girl took out the key:
“Even I discovered this by accident when I was hiding here reading comic books as a kid.”
Holding the key, she pursed her lips, handed it to Sakaki Makoto resolutely, and said:
"You can't break your promise!"
"Of course not."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"But aren't you afraid?"
"Fear?"
The girl asked doubtfully:
"What is there to be afraid of?"
"If the Hughes family knew that you had betrayed them, what awaited you would probably be endless arrests and hunts. By then, your bank card would be frozen, and the U.S. Customs would put you on the entry and exit ban list, and you would have no choice but to flee alone."
Sakaki Makoto is not exaggerating when he says this.
He explained the pros and cons from the girl's perspective.
Save the girl from regretting it in the future.
really.
After hearing what he said, the girl fell silent.
She knew that what she had done had violated the rules followed by the Hughes family.
traitor...
No matter where you are, you are the most hated.
As long as she follows Sakaki Makoto out of the manor, the Hughes family will blacklist her and contact the authorities for her arrest.
unless...
She stayed and pretended she didn't know.
Seeing the girl was extremely entangled and seemed to be retreating...
Sakaki Makoto narrowed his eyes and said:
"I do have a solution, it depends on whether you are willing to accept it."
"What is the solution?"
The girl raised her head suddenly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"You said in your diary that there was a relative named Catherine Hughes who was responsible for teaching you etiquette, business, and other knowledge, right?"
"yes."
"Is she in this manor?"
"Um."
That's easy...
With the corners of his mouth raised, Sakaki Makoto said to the girl in a low, slightly bewitching tone:
"As long as you can get her to the library, we will hold her and you hostage, and then point a gun at her head and force you to hand over the key..."
"For Aunt Catherine's sake, you had no choice but to hand over the key and were 'forced' to leave the manor under our hostage. In this case..."
"Their anger will not be vented on you."
“Because you are a victim too.”
Oh shit!
Kidd's heart skipped a beat due to nervousness.
Too cruel, too treacherous, and too vicious!
Kidd is not stupid at all.
He knew that once the girl followed Sakaki Makoto's advice...
Then she would become a real traitor.
Although it is still the case now, the nature is completely different.
"No...No..."
The girl shook her head.
"Although Aunt Catherine is a little strict, she is still very kind to me!"
"I can't bring her into this..."
"The choice is yours, I'm just making a suggestion."
To be honest...
Sakaki Makoto had no intention of persecuting the girl.
He had never met the other party before, and after today, they would have no contact in the future. Why should he persecute her?
What Sakaki Makoto doesn't want to see is...
Because of his instigation, the girl stepped into the dangerous social jungle, like a little white rabbit, unable to control herself.
With the Hughes family around, at least she has a way out.
