My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Although in his father's eyes, Masaki Zen is an upright, incorruptible, and righteous investigator.

However, you can know a person's face but not their heart.

Without the ability to "manipulate mind" to see through Seisaki Zen's thoughts, Hui would never truly believe Seisaki Zen.

It was at this moment that Hui suddenly felt an overwhelming longing for the superpower of "mind manipulation." The level didn't need to be too high; any level would do!

But if it's not there, it's not there.

"Hui, stop! Don't kill anymore! Your father has always been my idol. He was upright and honorable. It's not too late for you to turn back. I and—"

Hui didn't listen any further and interrupted directly, "Uncle Zhengqi! You know this woman, right?"

Masaki Zen paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

"This woman is very important to you, isn't she?"

Yes. What's wrong?

"That's good." Hui said, and the black ghost reappeared, grabbing Qu Shiai's neck directly. "Hand over all the original videos and all backups, or I'll kill her right now."

After saying that, the black phantom's claws began to tighten...

The author says:

In the next chapter, the female lead will resolve this matter and won't mistreat the protagonist.

Chapter 169 Threat

"Well--"

Seguro Yoma let out a painful cry.

Masaki Zen watched as the black monster nearly snapped Seguro's neck.

He was in a state of tension and immediately pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Hui.

However, Hui smiled slightly: "A gun! It's a good thing. But, is it useful?"

Yes!

is that useful?

Masaki Zen couldn't help but recall the scene he had seen in the picture.

The creature in front of me is a true monster, or rather, an incomprehensible being, that can be chopped into pieces and then resurrected perfectly!

Drawing his gun was merely a reflexive action for Yoshiaki Masasaki as a prosecutor.

Having already seen the video, Masaki Zen obviously didn't expect a pistol to kill Hui.

“Hui, your father and I are good friends. Trust me, I—”

"I don't believe it!" Hui shouted, interrupting Masaki Zen.

"Hand over all the video footage, or I'll kill this woman immediately."

As Hui spoke, the ghost that had grabbed Seguro Yoma by the neck began to contract its large claws.

Seguro was already severely injured, and being treated like this, he immediately started to breathe more and more than he could breathe, and his face above his neck turned blue, which was a sign of extreme oxygen deprivation.

"stop!"

Masaki Zen wasn't stupid; he knew that if he really handed over all the video materials...

Hui, who was no longer the person she remembered, would probably kill them on the spot.

but,

If he doesn't hand it over, Seguro will die in front of him.

In desperation, Masaki Zen shouted a threat: "If anything happens to Seguro, I guarantee that the video from just now will appear in all the major media outlets tomorrow. Even if you kill me, I will use it, because I have a backup of the video."

Upon hearing this, Hui remained expressionless, but inwardly breathed a sigh of relief: I'm not afraid of your threats, I'm just afraid you'll be stubborn and unyielding.

At the same time, it controlled the black phantom to stop tightening its grip on Seguro's neck.

Don't be fooled by Seguro's current appearance, which makes him seem like he's about to die. In reality, Kei has a very good grasp of the situation and will definitely not let Seguro die like that.

Hui never intended to "die together" with Masaki Zen.

"I will not let others hold my weakness in their hands and live a life of helplessness. Rather than that, I'd rather fight to the death now!" Hui's attitude was very firm.

“Hui, I am Father’s junior; we fought side by side. You must believe me—”

"I don't believe it!" Hui shouted again.

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

Hui silently calculated the time in her mind, and when she felt it was about time...

Hui suddenly suggested, "Okay, this can't go on like this. Let's find a compromise."

Despite her seemingly tough exterior, Hui is actually quite panicked inside.

When she had the superpower of "mind manipulation," Hui never had to worry about people's hearts.

But now,

Hui, however, must confront people's hearts directly.

Hui absolutely does not allow any oversights: everything must be analyzed from the perspective of absolute benefit and rationality, and all the worst outcomes must be nipped in the bud, because that is the nature of human nature.

Therefore, Hui would never trust so-called friendships or acquaintances.

Of course, the people you care about are another matter.

"What compromise?" Seisaki Zen asked curiously.

Bang!

At this moment, two black ghosts returned from outside, threw the three figures to the ground, and made them kneel 3 meters in front of Masaki Zen.

They were three young people with brightly colored hair, lip rings, their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were gagged, and their eyes were blindfolded.

The three men were struggling slightly, but the black ghost had punched each of them in the stomach, causing internal bleeding and excruciating pain, which was why they were unable to struggle.

“These three are the scum of society. Just now they were about to rob and rape a random woman. They are hopeless villains. Uncle Masaki, aren’t you a self-proclaimed champion of justice? Then shoot them! It will save thousands of people.”

After saying that, Hui took out her newly bought phone, turned on the camera mode, and stood aside to start recording.

This is the method that Hui came up with—mutual threats.

Each party possesses a fatal weakness in the other's hands. While this isn't absolutely foolproof, it's far more effective than vague verbal agreements.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Masaki Zen only killed three people.

Although there is no death penalty in Japan, as long as Yoshiaki Masasaki kills these passersby.

He's definitely finished; I don't know how many years he'll be locked up.

While he is imprisoned, his wife and children will suffer the same form of passive-aggressive violence against murderers in Japanese society.

Soft violence is not non-violent; on the contrary, a soft knife can kill just as badly as a real knife, and sometimes it can be even more psychologically damaging, especially in a society like Japan that places great emphasis on community and interpersonal relationships.

It's hard to imagine what would become of a widow and her child in such an environment.

"you!"

Masaki Zen was shocked; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"No, that won't do. Even if they do evil, there are laws that can punish them. They should be handed over to the law for processing."

"Oh, I see! In Uncle Masaki's eyes, this woman's life doesn't seem to be of any value, not even worth three scumbags."

"And will they be detained for a few months or a few years before being released? Do you really believe they will reform?"

"Choose! Kill them, or let's all perish together today!" Hui's attitude was very firm; this was Hui's bottom line.

Hui never intended to use this woman to threaten Masaki Zen into submission.

Furthermore, even if Masaki Zen complies, what if he secretly kept a backup copy behind his back?

Knowing the face but not the heart.

Hui dared not take the risk.

Hui heard a story from a great man in her previous life: If you want to open a window in a room full of people, everyone will disagree. But if you want to tear down the roof, everyone will agree to let you open the window.

People tend to act based on their practical interests, choosing the lesser of two evils.

The reasoning is the same.

If you let Masaki Zen kill three passersby from the beginning.

Masasaki Zen would most likely not agree, but what if he had to choose between Seguro and three heinous villains?

Hui believes that Masaki Zen will most likely make the right choice.

However, as long as Masaki Zen makes a move.

Then everything will be easy.

Having obtained leverage over the other party, Masaki Zen embarked on a path of no return.

Because once someone has killed someone, their so-called bottom line and sense of justice have been severely compromised, and they will no longer do anything emotional. After all, Hui is quite afraid of people who would sacrifice their own family for the greater good, because such people are practically suicide squads. To deal with such people, the only options besides the superpower of "mind manipulation" are physical destruction.

"Uncle Masaki, you have ten seconds left..."

"Wisdom!"

"Seven seconds left."

"Don't do that, I believe there must be other ways."

"Three seconds."

Hui recited the numbers expressionlessly.

At the same time, the black phantom loosened its grip on Seguro Yoma's large claws with a visible arc, a sign that it was about to unleash its full power in the next second.

This was naturally done by Hui to show Masaki Zen.
