Chapter 352: Sisters’ Background
After downing several gulps of wine, Perry Moreno's cheeks flushed crimson. His tongue loosened, and he muttered with a drunken grin, "John, since you've treated me so kindly... if you've got any questions, ask away. I'll tell you everything."
Just like that—his attitude shifted like a weather vane in a storm.
John didn't waste time arguing. He dove straight into the heart of his confusion: the tangled mystery surrounding himself and his sisters.
"You and your sisters were indeed placed in the welfare house by us," Perry admitted, his voice slurring slightly. "And yes, we used... certain techniques to bind the eight of you emotionally, since childhood."
Exactly as John had suspected.
His eyes narrowed with realization.
There had been so many children at the welfare house—why had he only bonded so closely with seven extraordinarily beautiful girls? At the time, he'd believed he was born with the makings of a ladykiller.
Now he saw the truth: it had all been orchestrated.
With the abilities of a cultivator, it wouldn't be difficult to manipulate a few naive, impressionable children into forging emotional bonds. It had all been part of the plan.
"Why?" John asked sharply, his voice ice-cold.
Perry took another swig of the potent wine, then shrugged. "It was William Moreno's idea. He's the one who gave the orders. Several of your sisters were actually brought back from Circle Mountain—by him."
