The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Ming Fuluo rolled her eyes: "Kid."

"What do you care about me? Anyway... well, Anser, don't come looking for me. It would be embarrassing if you saw me!" The girl laughed, put her hands behind her back, and backed out of the lounge step by step. "Then I'll leave first and will be back soon!"

She pushed open the door, waved to Ansel, and then ran away.

Two seconds after Xitana left, Ming Furo suddenly closed the book with a "bang".

"Do you want me to eavesdrop for you?" she asked coldly.

"…What do you mean by eavesdropping for me?"

"You can hide it from her, and you think you can hide it from me?"

Ming Fuluo said with disdain: "You almost whispered in my ear 'I'm a little worried'."

"Hmm..." Anser touched the side of his face, "Is it that obvious?"

Ming Fuluo changed her posture, put her ear against Anser's chest, and said lazily: "It's so obvious, of course, this is for me."

"So, do you want to do this?"

“…No, forget it.”

Anser shook his head, and a flash of pity appeared in his eyes.

"After all, this is a matter between sisters."

Without saying hello, Sitana slammed the door open.

"Ah Halina! I'm back! And I'm super strong! You should have seen it!"

Xitana cheered and ran around Marina who was sitting at the desk again and again: "You don't have to deal with these things from now on, you can continue your adventure with Anser! I'm sorry to have troubled you these days."

"Excuse me."

Marina murmured these four words softly, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, as if she was wearing a mask: "It's nothing... I'm sorry, Miss Sitana."

"Hey, why are you calling me that again... Never mind, I don't care. Um... Is this the last arrangement you want to make before you leave, Lina?"

Marina responded softly without even looking up: "Yes, Ms. Sitana. I hope to do my best to help before leaving the lower city."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Sitana said this, and then suddenly stretched out her hand and snatched all the paper from Marina's pen.

Without any warning or request, she snatched Marina's planner and slowly flipped through it.

"... As expected, I can't understand this kind of thing no matter how I look at it. Professional matters should be left to professionals."

After looking at it for a while, Sitana, who seemed to understand nothing, handed the thick planner back to Marina.

But when the latter silently stretched out his hand, ready to take back his things, he found that the force exerted on the other end of the plan book did not move at all.

"..."

Marina slowly raised her head and met her sister's eyes.

Those cold predator eyes.

"So, Linna, tell me."

Xitana asked her sister in the calmest tone possible:

"Since you know so much, why did you kill so many people?"

Chapter 6: Wrong Path: Only Him (K)

Marina raised her eyes and stared at her expressionless sister, her tone very calm: "Ms. Xitana, why do you say such inexplicable things?"

Xitana stared at Marina for a long time and said softly, "Lina, you have always been smarter than me, much smarter than me, so you think you can still deceive me even at this time, right?"

"Indra, die in my hands."

She let go of her hand and let Marina take the planner back. Disappointment surged in her dark red eyes: "Do you know what she said before she died?"

"She said." The wolf's gaze was as sharp as a blade, "She works for Faust. You have to think carefully before you touch her."

"People who want to survive will say anything."

Marina lowered her head slightly and continued writing in her planner:

"Do you believe this nonsense, Miss Sitana?"

Shitana did not answer. She looked at Marina, who was still extremely calm, as if nothing had happened, and an uncontrollable sadness appeared on her face.

"…Marina."

She slowly called her sister's name, her hands resting on the table, her voice tired and sad: "I'm not a child anymore. I just want to know the answer, and I don't want you to continue lying to me like this."

"Even if the reason is something I cannot accept no matter what, I still hope you can tell me the truth."

But Marina, who was writing like a machine, did not react at all. She just answered without any emotion: "But I really have nothing to say, Ms. Sitana."

Xitana took a step back, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and an extremely ugly forced smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Do you have to ask me to explain the evidence clearly before you tell the truth?"

She took a deep breath, as if trying to make her expression stern and indifferent enough to look like she was judging someone, but no matter how she changed, she could not conceal the weakness and sadness in her eyes.

"You said that the revolutionary army messed up the downtown area in order to create chaos and rescue their accomplices who were trapped in prison."

"But they denied it. They said that because of me, they had abandoned all their arrangements in the downtown area a long time ago."

Marina was about to speak when Xitana said coldly, "Are you saying this is just their one-sided story? Well...then answer me, Marina, what's the story behind those people who took you away?"

"Did they capture you on purpose to test Faust? Why did they choose the day when Anser went to the imperial capital? Why did they choose the day when I was planning to return to the city to suppress the riot? Are you trying to tell me that this is a coincidence?"

Marina was silent and stopped talking.

But Shitana did not stop there. Her voice became higher and higher, and her tone became more and more excited, close to losing control.

"I didn't kill any of them. I just wanted to know what would happen to them. But as soon as I left, someone killed me... But I didn't know one thing."

She pointed to her nose in self-mockery: "This part of mine is very sensitive."

"Besides, Marina, you don't know how useful my nose is."

"I smelled residual ether flowing on Doug. He is just an ordinary person, how could there be ether fluctuations on his body? The only answer can only be... someone cast a spell on him."

From that moment on, Sitana became suspicious of this so-called kidnapping.

She deliberately left a person alive, and smelled the scent of the "kidnappers" who kidnapped Hitana from Indra. Intent on finding out the truth, she naturally learned the answer from the other party.

It's all Marina's fault. She deliberately allowed the gangs in the downtown area to do evil, constantly intensified the contradictions, deliberately provoked conflicts, and even controlled the outbreak of the conflicts in the city.

What will happen and when, where the conflict will occur, and even who will die, all become certainties under her dark, cold words.

"Marina...I spent the whole day with you that day, and I still had the fantasy that you should have some deep meaning."

"I know that I can't compare with Anser and you in these matters. What you did and arranged must have a very profound purpose, so I didn't interfere, and I didn't dare to interfere."

"The results of it?"

Bang!

She slammed her hands on the table and yelled, "You pushed so many people into the slaughterhouse, causing so many families to be broken up! I just wanted to get an answer from you, but you lied to me!"

"Cliff, Doug, Orr, DeLat... they are all good people, rare good people in this damn world. But because of your senseless and willful plan, almost all of them died!"

The girl's fingers squeezed grooves into the desk, and the teeth-grinding sound of friction and damage echoed in the office.

"I promised them that I would let them all... live a good life."

Sitana murmured softly, her angry voice becoming fragile and sad.

Faced with such emotional questioning from her closest relatives, Marina Lancemalos did not even raise her head.

She just continued to plan meticulously, while saying calmly:

"You have improved a lot compared to before, Miss Xitana. Both your mind and your reason are different now. Mr. Anser will be very happy to know this."

"Marina!"

Shitana punched Marina's planner. If her fist was just a little off, Marina's hand would have been smashed.

"I'm asking you now, why on earth did you do this!"

Marina looked at the fist that almost smashed her hand into pulp for a long time, sighed softly, and finally looked up at Shitana again.

"Before answering this question, I have to explain one thing, Ms. Sitana."

Since Hitana has confirmed it to this point, there is no need for her to keep up the lie any longer. The girl met her sister's angry and sad gaze, without any sign of regret or concession.

"——If you don't come back, no one will be sacrificed."

"In my plan, no one has to be sacrificed. Even if doing so will reduce the effect, I still arranged it this way."

"It's just that your sudden appearance made everything out of control," said Marina.

Xitana was so angry that she laughed: "You want to say this is my fault? You planned to send everyone to the battlefield, and you kept saying that no one would get hurt, and in the end you even put the problem on me?"

"Marlena...you're crazy!"

"I'm just telling the truth. If you don't want to listen, Miss Xitana, then forget it."

Marina's tone remained unchanged: "According to the original plan, after this riot is over, the gang members in the downtown area will be severely hit, and the civilians will also gain confidence and courage from this struggle. From a long-term perspective, this is undoubtedly the best choice."

"Best choice...best choice?"

Xitana, whose emotions were out of control, actually laughed out loud at this moment. She pointed out the window, at the chaotic street that was still out of order, and shouted:

"You tell me that with so many people being homeless, so many people losing their loved ones, and so many people stealing and looting... is this the best option?!"

"I told you that it was because of you, Ms. Sitana, that the plan got out of control—"

"Your damn bullshit plan shouldn't even exist!"

With her anger reaching its peak, Hitana roared, "Your duty is to do your best to bring them a better life, so that they can live a happy and stable life, instead of forcing them to face things that they shouldn't have to face for the sake of some illusory confidence and courage... Damn it, Marina! Why do you think they need these things? What right do you have to make decisions for them! Who do you think they are? Who do you think you are! An emperor or a god!"

"Because they need these, Ms. Sitana." Marina's eyes gradually turned cold. "These are necessary conditions for becoming a person, for being a person. Living conditions can be changed at any time for extraordinary people, but a person's self...how many opportunities can be overturned and rebuilt?"

"They must live with dignity. They can be humble and weak, but they must never take this humility and weakness for granted and ignore the possibility of any change."

"It's the same thing again...it's the same thing again!"

The dangerous aura emanating from Hitana was unbearable for ordinary people. The slightly out-of-control ether due to her runaway emotions dissipated everywhere, and the red air currents flowed irregularly in the office, flashing by like electric arcs.

But after a few seconds of this violent aura appearing, Sitana stopped talking again, because she and Marina had already argued about this topic.

They couldn't reach a consensus then, and it's impossible for them to reach a consensus now either.

"…So, this is why you let them be bullied by gang members. This is why you killed so many people with your own hands and still did nothing, right?"

Xitana no longer had much anger left. She only felt deep fatigue and... numbness.

"This is also Anser's purpose, right? If it's him, he has seen so much knowledge, and it's normal for him to have a different pursuit in this area than most people."

Her fatigue and numbness came from this. If Marina had done these things without permission, Xitana's anger would not be calmed down so easily. But Xitana knew her sister very well. Marina would never go against Ansher's will, let alone act without rules.

Everything that happened in the lower city must have been done with Anther's consent.

When she thought of this, Shitana felt pain, but it was very painful before. Now it is much better because her thinking has become completely different.

However, Marina said something that made Hitana's pupils shrink.

"Why do you think that Mr. Anser was involved in this matter, Miss Sitana?"

"What did you say?"

"Is it difficult to understand?"

Marina tilted her head slightly. "Everything that happened in the Lower Town was decided by me without Mr. Anser's knowledge. Mr. Anser has a lot of things to do and won't put extra energy here. And most importantly, he believes in me... just like you believe in me."

"M.L.N.!"

Sitana crashed into the desk, grabbed Marina's collar across the desk, and almost overturned the entire desk.

"Why!" She screamed at her sister, "Do you have to pursue your damn independence and dignity? Do you have to push everyone into the abyss when you can let everyone live a stable life?"

Why? Because Mr. Anser needs it. For Marina, the answer to this question is very simple.

But she couldn't answer like that. She would not allow Shitana to link these things to Ansher.

“Because this is what I’m after.”
