Chapter 176
I drove Ernest into a deserted alleyway. Here, I could finish things without anyone noticing.
Ernest must have felt uneasy, as he occasionally stopped walking and tried to talk to me.
"Do you need money?"
"For someone so well-educated, you sure spout nonsense. Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t need money?"
"...That’s true, but if money is what you want, targeting me isn’t the right answer, is it?"
Ernest was trying to stay calm. Even in this situation, he didn’t panic.
‘He’s managed to get away with committing murders, after all. He must have a certain level of sharp judgment.’
I shrugged.
"I don’t know what the right answer is. Aren’t all rich families the same anyway?"
"My family is a political family. We have influence, but we don’t have that much cash on hand. If you need money, there are people far easier and more convenient to target than me."
"So basically, you’re saying you’re a worthless hostage?"
