Shoujo Grand Summoning-Chapter 1668: Bargaining chip, for whom?

In a room meant for a teacher, Kimberly sat there with her eyes closed. She tapped her fingers on the armrest anxiously.

Yaya made tea at the side but she was too distracted.

Charlotte held onto Henriette while Frey and Raishin waited anxiously for Kimberly to speak.

Sigmund and 5 Garm series automata rested near the corner of the room.

The vibe is one of awkward silence and this has gone on for 20 minutes.

Frey, Charlotte, and Raishin still can't believe Wu Yan attacked the principal.

Charlotte said nothing, the normal her would have broken the silence long ago.

Kimberly decided enough is enough.

"Actually, I wanted to detain you all and question each one of you."

"—!"

Henriette hid behind Charlotte.

"Kimberly."

Charlotte glared at her.

"Henriette has done nothing wrong."

"What are you talking about?"

Kimberly glared back.

"You think Henriette has nothing to do with this?"

Charlotte couldn't retort.

"Henriette knows something, I don't care if she isn't an accomplice."

Raishin chimed in.

"She demonstrated this when she tried to stop Wu Yan before he attacked. She wanted Tyrant Rex to stop Wu Yan as if she knew."

"Yes."

Kimberly calmly agreed.

"Granted, I wonder why the younger sibling of the Belew house suddenly appeared in the school as a student."

Charlotte asked Henriette excitedly.

Henriette lowered her head while closing her eyes.

"Henriette!"

Charlotte yelled in exasperation.

"Save your family drama for later."

Kimberly cut her off.

"You, is Scarlet Eyes assassination plot against the principal related to you?"

Kimberly asked her.

Henriette shook when she heard this. Kimberly knew something was up, and so did Charlotte who held her.

"Hey..."

Frey asked in a careful manner.

"Wu Yan tried to kill the principal, this isn't his idea, right?"

Henriette chose not to answer.

That was enough for them.

"Is he being threatened?"

Charlotte tilted her head.

"Impossible, he is so powerful that Magnus couldn't suppress him readily. Even when I use my full power, I can only make him use one doll against me."

"You lost every time even against 1 of his dolls?"

Raishin shook.

"You're a Rounds, and other than Magnus, I doubt anyone could beat you 100% all the time, right?"

"It is the harsh truth."

Charlotte admitted.

"He is someone on par with Magnus, another level beyond us. It feels like you're fighting against an invincible entity."

"Indeed, he's the type you feel despair fighting against." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Raishin also said it with a hint of frustration.

"How can anyone threaten him?"

"You are all brats."

Kimberly said.

"A person's strength is limited. Against an army, there is no low they wouldn't stoop to."

"Moreover."

Kimberly looked at Henriette.

"We have the bargaining chip here."

"What do you mean?"

Charlotte blocked Henriette off.

"Are you planning on using Henriette as a hostage?!"

"Ah, I see."

Raishin realized it.

"Someone told him to kill the principal or Henriette would be killed."

"Wu Yan didn't try to kill the principal for me."

Charlotte said with a pale face.

"Wu Yan did it for you, sister."

"M-Me?"

Charlotte was stunned.

"I see, I suspected as much." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Kimberly sighed.

"Scarlet Eyes was told that Charlotte's sister would die if he didn't comply."

Wu Yan did it for Charlotte, so she wouldn't have to become a felon herself.

Henriette's death would cause immense anguish for Charlotte. Her point of study was to become Satan and unite her family once more.

If not for helping Charlotte out, Wu Yan wouldn't have saved Henriette who had nothing to do with him.

He played along by being coerced into attacking a high-ranking official of the school.

"W-Why?"

Charlotte mumbled.

"It's my fault."

Frey turned the other way while Kimberly and Raishin sighed in unison.

"Sister."

Henriette bit her lips in frustration.

Looks like Wu Yan is precious to her sister.

"Sister."

Henriette said with a shivering voice.

"If you want to save Wu Yan, then kill me."

Charlotte's eyes shrunk.
