Comments of chapter undefined of Rise of the Disgraced Heir

I know you could say because he was backstabbed many times he would be distrustful to this situations which is fine but I don't like how he acts like a deer caught in some headlights and doesn't logically think of how the Reyes pulled some strings even earlier. Then from there he could question on why Laurence wants from him. Until now I don't see what's so special about the MC that gives him an edge to stand with these Capitalist monsters
