chapter 31: conclusion (1) after liu xing had discussed the escape plan from eins castle with everyone, their last private room session also came to an end. they all knew that the final act of this role-playing game was about to unfold. everyone took their places. liu xing didn't wait long in the room before old wayne entered, "mr. liu xing, the lord has made all the necessary preparations. please follow me to the study room on the second floor right away." liu xing smiled and nodded, then followed old wayne to the study room upstairs. the study was already lit, with gary sitting at the desk. "mr. liu xing, please take a seat," gary said, the very picture of a gentleman. liu xing responded with a smile and a nod, taking a seat opposite gary. after old wayne served liu xing a cup of coffee, he left the study room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him. thus, only liu xing and gary remained in the study room. "so, mr. liu xing, could you please start by telling me what brings you to eins town this time?" gary asked with a cheerful smile. liu xing took a sip of coffee. initially, he had been wary that the coffee might be drugged, but then he thought better of it. after all, he was the first one to come up and talk with gary; if gary had chosen to take action against him immediately, it would surely raise the alarm among bai hecheng and the others. unless gary was confident he could take down all five of them in one fell swoop, such a move would be more loss than gain. thus, liu xing believed that gary was unlikely to harm him first. "the thing is, i came to eins town because i'm a fan of manchester united. i took advantage of the holiday to watch their game, and then i heard about the castle in eins town. the owner of the castle, mr. gary, you've been so kind as to open it to the public, so here i am," liu xing reiterated the backstory assigned to him for the role-playing game. gary listened to liu xing's account without much reaction, still smiling: "i see, that seems to echo the widely known verse from your country, china. if i'm not mistaken, it goes something like 'fate brings people together no matter how far apart they may be'?" "no, nobody has been here today, except for grandpa wayne," isabella replied, her voice filled with confusion. just then, the sound of dice hitting the floor echoed through the room. liu xing knew this was likely gary employing psychology on isabella. "damn it, isabella, stop lying to me! i already know you're deceiving me. i'm giving you one more chance—tell me the truth! i know you have excellent hearing; you must know who came to the second floor!" it was clear that gary's psychology had worked; he had caught isabella in a lie, and his tone grew even more furious. just when liu xing thought isabella would confess the truth, having been caught by gary, she persisted with her previous statement. "i've said i don't know, and i don't. you should leave now, gary, i don't want to see you anymore." with those words, a heavy silence fell in the room. as liu xing was contemplating whether to go in or not, a loud slap rang out—gary had struck isabella. liu xing, overcome with a rush of blood to the head, barged into isabella's room, "mr. gary, what are you doing?" gary turned around, anger written all over his face as he said to liu xing, "mr. liu xing, please do not interfere with our family affairs. you should leave right now!" with a cold laugh, liu xing pointed at isabella and angrily said, "mr. gary, as a man, why would you hit a child? what wrong has the child done?" furious, gary marched up to liu xing and shoved him hard. before liu xing could regain his footing, gary pulled out a handgun from his embrace and pointed it straight at liu xing! a sheen of cold sweat instantly covered liu xing's forehead. the dark barrel of the gun was aimed directly at him, and the unique sheen of the metal was a stark reminder that this was no mere toy. with the gun in his hand, gary advanced, step by step, while liu xing could only retreat. ultimately, gary backed liu xing out of the door and up against the railing on the second floor.̃øv€l-b1n.
