Chapter 206: Chapter 201 Respect

Once the stakes became high, the number of people eager to grab a larger slice naturally increased.

But no one wanted to relinquish the share they already held, so conflicts naturally grew over time.

Yet, no one was willing to take the risks, knowing that if it came down to an all-out struggle, they were more likely to lose everything.

Therefore, some easily manipulated fools were naturally targeted.

Nania didn’t hesitate for a moment to be used as a pawn, and this ignited the conflict.

But, in the end, it was merely a minor skirmish.

After all, everyone was here to make money, not truly fight and kill. The deaths of a few gullible young people were deemed sufficient.

The reason they chose Nania was that her foster father held the most benefit. They wanted to use Nania’s misdemeanors to force that man to cough up some profits.

Then, the trial against Nania began.

The spacious building was packed with people, all there to try and carve out a piece of the profit.

The more people there were, the greater the chance of success, so everyone brought enough muscle to maintain control of the situation.

Being escorted by the crowd, Nania saw that man again after a long absence.

She felt deeply sorry for him but also hoped he would help her escape her predicament and grant her a chance to atone.

After all, she had weathered ten years of prison for him and continued to do his bidding; surely, he wouldn’t abandon her now.

But that man replied:

"She has no relation to me. She should bear the consequences of her own actions. She is merely the daughter of a deceased, and I only took care of her out of kindness. You people are disgusting, ready to exploit even the slightest connection for a measly profit?"

That man, without any hesitation, denied the lifelong family bond he had once promised.

In the end, those were mere verbal promises, with no one obligated to keep them.

Thus, even if Nania had dedicated decades of her life, it was her choice, and it had nothing to do with that man.

That man also denied any connection to Nania’s prison time, calling it her own problem.

Listening to that man vocally reject her life up to that point, negating all her efforts, Nania felt a profound fear from within.

A fear of the meaninglessness of her life.

So-called morality, familial bonds, gratitude—all of it hollow. The beliefs she held staunchly were utterly meaningless.

A feeling of emptiness.

An indefinable sense of emptiness instilled extreme fear in Nania.

But at the same time, there was a tangible anger of betrayal within Nania.

Afflicted by these two emotions, Nania made her final decision regarding that man.

She snatched a gun from the person closest to her and killed the man she had once loved without a moment’s hesitation.

With the man dead, his subordinates immediately drew guns seeking revenge. Yet others, seeing an opportunity to settle scores with that man’s power, also drew their weapons, hoping to intimidate the crowd and discuss the future division of profits.

However, everyone had failed to consider the unpredictable factor that was Nania.

Nania began to shoot at that man’s subordinates, who had once hurled insults at her.

Free of worries, Nania wanted to finish them all in that moment.

Those people also retaliated immediately.

And amidst the chaos, some with ulterior motives took the chance to eliminate other competitors, drawing their guns on the spot. Others shot back in self-defence, aiming to take down those firing at them.

In an instant, the scene turned into a complete mess.

Nania, after killing that man, felt a sense of release in her heart.

During that melee, in the wild spray of bullets, she was the first to leave the scene, fleeing with a considerable amount of cash in hand.

Nania planned to take that money, head somewhere far away, and start over the life she felt had been wasted thus far.

Then, she arrived here...

After seeing all this, Xiao Yi slightly nodded his head, "So that’s what happened. That’s Auntie’s past, huh? It’s quite tragic; I should be nicer to her from now on."

"Gulp...!" At this moment, Nania felt utterly disgraced, covering her face tightly, "All my secrets have been exposed. I wish I could just die..."

Clements, deep in thought, said, "A life betrayed after so many years, that is indeed... a serious problem. In comparison, my issues are nothing. This will give even him some trouble."

"Problem? You’re mistaken," Nania looked at Clements and said, "After killing that man, I was already over it. There’s no so-called problem. No... it’s not that I was already over it, in fact, when I first met you all, I still couldn’t shake off the shadow that man cast over me, which is why I was especially wary of you all."

Hearing Nania say this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but recall how she had been on guard enough to draw a gun when they first met.

"How... how is that possible?" Clements couldn’t help but express his surprise, "That’s over twenty years of life, and you just let go of it."

"That’s the truth; I don’t feel like explaining," Nania said, "Speaking of which, you mustn’t have expected this, right? With all that money, the reason I didn’t tell you before is that I didn’t trust you. Now that you know, I’ll just say it straight. I plan to take that money and start a new life on a warmer piece of land where nobody knows me."

"We’ve known for a while," Clements said, "But, this means you trust us now, which is why you’re willing to share this with us. After being deceived for so many years, you’re willing to trust us who you’ve only known for a few days?"

"Of course," Nania could only sigh, "What can I say? That’s just the way I am. If I’m deceived again, if you betray me, it only goes to show I’m foolish. There’s nothing I can do about it."

"This..."

Clements was at a loss for words.

At that moment, he felt admiration for the woman before him.

Indeed, as Nania said, there were no problems in her heart.

No, perhaps her issues had already been resolved the moment she was willing to trust them.

"By the way, Auntie, that prison we saw yesterday... it has nothing to do with you, right?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Huh? That thing?" Nania waved her hands with some trepidation, "How could it be related to me? If I were in that kind of place, I would have gone mad long ago. The prison I was in was full of damned bastards, that’s all."

So that means the Visualization wasn’t Nania’s doing. So... it’s obvious whose Visualization it was.

Visualizations only take shape under intense emotional thought. Since Nania had shown no sign of creating a Visualization before, that proved her words to be true.

Realizing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel impressed, "Aunt Nania, you are indeed impressive."

No sooner had Xiao Yi spoken than another page appeared in his hand.

Xiao Yi was used to this by now, and he took a glance at it.

"Betrayal is the most intolerable act for humans, and the most unbearable treachery is the betrayal of one’s faith. Therefore, I chose to sever all ties, for without investment, there is no fear of betrayal. I admit this stems from cowardice, from weakness, but it does not hinder my disdain for those fools who, despite being betrayed, still cling to their beliefs. However, I must also admit... I envy their foolishness."

"Do you admire it?" Xiao Yi said with a slight smile, "Then, let’s pay her the highest respect."

"Another page?" Clements was also used to this, "It seems we have to collect even more pages now... and so, our next target has also become clear."

That said, all three could not help but look towards Liliana’s room.
