Chapter 418: Are You Sure?
Up until now, John hadn't realized that there was a fundamental misunderstanding between him and Angela. He had confused two distinct teachings: Grand Theft and Immortal Morality.
At first glance, their names sounded similar, but there was a vast difference between the two.
John had always assumed his teacher was the source of his teachings, but the truth was, it was Angela who had told him about Immortal Morality, though he hadn't known the exact name. He had thought it was simply "Immortal Morality."
It was indeed an extraordinary concept—controlling the laws of the world and stealing the wisdom of nature. That part had amazed him. But one particular discipline, "Escaping should be the top priority no matter what happens," didn't sit right with him. It seemed ill-suited to someone with his ambitions.
But John didn't give it much thought. Not realizing his misunderstanding, Angela didn't bother clarifying the situation. She was content, letting John explore the concept on his own.
Meanwhile, John's sisters returned as he was talking with Queenie, their faces lighting up in joy when they saw him. However, they quickly composed themselves, noticing Queenie's cold demeanor.
"Welcome back, John," they said, their voices polite but distant.
It was clear they were following Queenie's instructions to treat John more coolly. Queenie had ordered them to do so in order to maintain control over John. It was a subtle yet effective method.
John, fully aware of their intent, chuckled softly. "I'll make sure to satisfy you all since you really want that."
