"Yato, do you think I was used by the doctor? My best friend died, but he told me to accept you without a care in the world."

After calming down, Olivia wiped her tears and spoke with sadness in her words. Although her voice was small, Yatuo could feel the excitement and confusion in it.

Yatuo shook his head, explained calmly, and asked:
"That depends on whether you are willing to be used by Dr. Clover. Sister Olivia, do you know why all words basically have antonyms?"

Olivia was stunned. Yatuo's sudden question made her not know how to answer.

Is there a willingness to use? And as for antonyms... she didn't know, because no one told her why, and the answer was not recorded in the book.

Seeing this, Yatuo smiled and replied slowly:

“Because antonyms are people’s willingness or unwillingness. If they are willing, bad things will become good; if they are unwilling, good things will become bad.

I ask you, if Dr. Clover uses you for his own benefit, would you be willing to do so? "

"I don't want to!"

Olivia said firmly, how could she be willing to do that!

Yatuo asked again without any haste:
"What if he uses you to fulfill a dream you want to fulfill? Even if it's just a side effect of his original intention, would you be willing?"

"I……"

Olivia was conflicted. She wanted to say yes, but for some reason she couldn't say it.

Yatuo was not surprised by Olivia's reaction. He nodded and said:
"This is a normal reaction, Sister Olivia, because whether you like it or not, it goes against your own personal wishes. It's like being manipulated like a puppet, and no one will feel good about this situation.

But that's life.

People who want to do good for you rarely ask for your opinion. Even if you don't feel any discomfort, it is a form of exploitation. So, the doctor is willing to answer some questions for you."

"But the truth is often cruel. I will be the one to choose whether to answer the questions he doesn't want to tell you. I am willing to do so because I am a good person who is not always upright.

This truth made you realize the doctor's intentions, and you felt that he was using you to achieve his goals, and that he was treating your initial pure feelings for me as a mission, right?"

Yatuo did not finish his words, but just wanted Olivia to understand the most basic truth and eliminate the seeds of doubt planted by Dr. Clover, allowing it to grow into another form under the revealed sincerity.

Olivia's psychological defenses have been completely broken, washed away by the torrent of truth and confusion. If she reveals her true feelings at this moment, Yatuo will be filtered in her empty heart.

"Yes...but I...I..."

Olivia hesitated, not knowing how to describe her feelings at the moment.

Yatuo was not wrong, and the doctor was not wrong, but the things she cared about most were all caused by the two of them. One reason, one ending. This made her a little unacceptable, but she was unable to vent her inner emotions.

"I once saw such a book in my father's study. It was my father's work. Some of the words in it made me quite concerned. Do you want to hear about it?"

Yatuo asked symbolically, and when Olivia didn't respond, he spoke alone:

"Any emotion has a purpose first. Falling in love with someone is very simple. It is a task conveyed by the body to the brain. A man wandering around the charming streets can be said to fall in love with a woman every day.

Essentially, anyone's initial love is like this, and in order to obtain this love, they will use a variety of purposes to achieve it.

Money, deception, cunning, oppression, etc. I didn’t intend to use any of the above methods, but it happened anyway. I understand, but I didn’t stop it. ”

"So, basic love is achieved, so what next?

There is no more to say, because my father cannot objectively write about the process of loving someone, but from how he treated my biological mother and my two stepmothers. I understand his answer, which is to keep loving, but this is the most difficult step. ”

"I don't expect you to completely forgive me for what I said, because it has already happened. Dr. Clover and I have already explained to you what you should and shouldn't know."

"I say this just to express my determination and my feelings. Once a grudge is created, it cannot be erased. Letting it go is just an excuse for both parties. Even my parents have some minor conflicts in normal times.

If you want, you don’t need to forget these unpleasant things. They are your greatest reliance, allowing you to accept everything that comes next with peace of mind.”

"........."

...............

Nothing happened that night. In the middle of the night, Yatuo moved the sleeping Olivia into his house, covered her with a quilt, and then returned to the deck wearing a coat.

Roll, who had been waiting here for a long time, was holding a Den Den Mushi with a mimic face that resembled his father's serious expression.

His father had listened to all the conversations that had taken place before.

"Snapped!"

Without any warning, Raw slapped him in the face, then reached out and handed the Den Den Mushi to him, then squatted down and calmly stretched out his left cheek.

In Yatuo's somewhat confused expression, Roll's gesture just happened to appear in his eyes.

It took him a while to react. He didn't cover his swollen cheeks, but quickly took the Den Den Mushi from Roll's hand without saying a word.

"Go, give him a slap. I want to hear the sound!"

My father's stern words were heard, and then the atmosphere continued to be silent.

"Snapped!"

Yatuo had no choice but to obey, and he slapped Luo'er's cheek, which he had extended to him. The slap was so loud and hard that his hand turned red, but Luoer acted as if nothing had happened.

I scratched my cheek, feeling like I was bitten by a mosquito but it didn't hurt.

“Hu… Let’s put this matter behind us. I’ll spend some time with Olivia these days and then bring her home for a while.

As for what happens next, you don't have to think about it. I will take care of it. Don't be stubborn. That's not something you can interfere with. Yatuo, you are very smart. I don't want you to do anything stupid. "

The father's helpless voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, as if he was annoyed by his father's disappointing behavior.

On the other hand, Ross never expected that Roll would be exposed so easily!
No, it seems that you are the one who reported the World Government! How... stupid!
Even if we find a clear and normal scapegoat for greed, that would be fine! That way, Clover wouldn't think of it as Yatuo, but would just classify it as an accident.

Or you can just postpone reporting it!
Now things have become complicated. He went from only needing to rescue Olivia to being a hidden man like that guy Vegapunk.

Olivia also changed from a flameout explosive to a time bomb.

Alas, what should he say? He could only give them both a slap in the face to teach them a lesson.

Things have already happened, so the consequences of them are what we need to worry about. The reasons behind them are no longer important.

Ross now just hopes that his other sons won't be so annoying when they grow up.

It would be great if everyone was like Barrett, they could do whatever they wanted with their talent.
