Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 842 He wasn’t the only terrifying one

The two of them did stop like I requested, but they didn't let me explain in the end.

Not to mention that I wouldn't have been able to explain even if I wanted to.

The things that I had done were things from my past life, so it wasn't as if I could explain my past life to them. They might even look at me like I had completely lost my mind if I were to explain my past life to them.

At the same time, I couldn't tell if the prime minister was from my previous world or not.

I had used all those different signals, but it didn't seem like he had reacted at all.

It might just be a ruse on his part to seem calm, but I wasn't able to see through him in the end.

I just couldn't tell if he was reacting to it or not.Gét latest 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters on n𝒐v(e)lbj/n(.)c/𝒐m

So the only thing that I could do was leave this matter to the two of them since they said that they would take care of it.

There was an uneasy feeling that filled me when they told me to leave it to them since I could tell that the prime minister wasn't planning on holding back. It was clear that he was still feeling angry about what had happened, so there was no way that he would show them mercy.

That was evident by the plan that he showed me.

So I watched the two of them leave my office with an uneasy feeling.

After they left, the former king came in with one brow raised.

I didn't need to ask to know why he had this expression on his face.

He must have seen the two of them as they left my study.

Looking at me with this look, he asked, "What's wrong with those two?"

A bitter look crept onto my face when I heard this. I took a deep breath and gave a deep sigh before explaining what had happened.

When the former king finished hearing what I said, there was also a bitter smile on his face.

He knew what the prime minister was planning to do, but it didn't seem like he was planning to stop him.

The bitterness slowly left the smile on his face and he said, "It's my first time seeing that child like that."

I was surprised to hear him say this before looking at him with a confused look.

The former king didn't explain at first as he looked at the door to the study.

He just stared at it in silence for a bit before finally saying, "That child has always had a smooth life. It never seemed like he had any setbacks, so he never really learned how to deal with setbacks. This might be the first time that I've ever seen him stumble."

I was even more confused hearing him say this, but I could tell that he wasn't saying this just to pick on Noah. Rather, the way that he said this was almost as if he was a concerned parent.

That was a strange way of looking after basically what seemed to be making fun of his child.

The former king's next words quickly explained what he meant by this.

"Since that child has never met with setbacks before, it doesn't seem like he really knows how to deal with them. I'm sure that he will come up with his own way of dealing with them, but this is a good learning experience for him."

It seemed that he was showing concern for Noah as a father might, but this was the wrong time for that.

After all, this was something that would affect the wellbeing of the country.

If he really went overboard, it was hard to tell what would happen.

As if he could guess what I was thinking, the former king said, "Do you really think that child would go that far? It's fine to leave this matter to him, this will be a learning experience for him."

I had an uncertain look on my face, but I slowly gave a nod.

Then again, it wasn't as if there was anything that I could do about this.

It wouldn't be that bad, right?

…

It was much worse than I thought.

However, the reason that it became much worse wasn't the reason that I thought it would be. Rather, there was someone else who made things much worse than it already was.

That person wasn't the prime minister, but rather the one who worked with the prime minister to deal with this situation.

She was the one that should have been the voice of reason, but she had become the terrifying one.

The prime minister's plan was to leave a piece of the pie for others, but she took it all for herself. Because of that, there were even more people that suffered because of this, though the employment insurance plan covered this.

So there were no citizens that were harmed in this mess, or it was certain that the prime minister wouldn't have gone along with it.

When they were in my study, I asked Haley, "Why did you do it?"

Haley had her head down the entire time as if she was embarrassed about what she had done, but I quickly realized that this wasn't the case.

"I thought that it would be better if we controlled everything."

The way that she said this was almost as if she wasn't apologizing for what she had done, but rather she was apologizing for getting caught like this. It was as if she felt that there wasn't anything wrong with what she did, it was just that it was too early to be caught like this.

The prime minister said, "It's a good plan."

It was just a simple statement, but it showed his support for Haley.

That just went to show that she really was the more terrifying one of the two…

Not only her greed, but also her ability to even talk the prime minister into going along with her…
