Chapter 68

Within two days, the family would send a cadre to eliminate the traitor, and there's a strong possibility that Doflamingo would personally come.

In that case, both of them would be doomed, neither would survive.

Thinking about this, Abel finally understood why Senor was so troubled and why he hadn't told the truth to Doflamingo.

"This really is somewhat tricky."

Abel also became agitated, and the two of them leaned against the wall, smoking cigarette after cigarette, silently contemplating a solution.

"Perhaps we can think about this in a different way."

After who knows how long, Abel came up with a non-solution solution.

"What kind of approach?"

Senor was desperate, even overlooking the fact that Abel was just a child.

Or perhaps, apart from Abel, no one else could advise him on this matter.

"First of all, you can't continue to hide Lucien. You have to proactively inform the family."

"But..."

"I understand your worries, but unless you can stop seeing her and remain strangers forever, can you do that?"

Senor gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Since you can't do that, the family will sooner or later learn about Lucien. Rather than them finding out through investigation, it's better for you to be honest."

"Trust me, a trivial matter like falling for a woman, including Captain Doflamingo, won't stop you. They might even give you a long vacation."

"Of course, the premise is that you won't betray or leave the family. Do you understand?"

Senor nodded slightly. He had indeed considered leaving the family for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it, understanding the consequences of such a decision.

Regardless of whether it's for himself or for Lucien, he mustn't do that!

"Good, after removing the resistance from the family, the only thing left for us to handle is Lucien. Does it feel a bit simpler?"

"No, I think this is the most difficult part."

"Alright, you're right. But it's not entirely without solutions."

"Speak up!"

Senor was getting impatient.

"What you need to do now is to make all the lies you told become true?"

"What? What kind of solution is this? Wait, you mean..."

"That's right, if from the beginning you never deceived her and only slightly concealed some things, then even if she finds out in the end, there's room for manoeuvre between you two, it won't be a direct 'death sentence'. Do you understand now?"

Abel appeared very confident.

Meanwhile, Senor was repeatedly mulling over his words until his eyes brightened.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Seeing Senor suddenly rush outside, Abel quickly followed.

"To the bank!"

"Huh?"

"You're right. If I want Lucien to fall in love with me, first, I must be a bank employee, a real bank employee!"

Seeing Senor finally get the hang of it, Abel couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile, but...

"Don't you think you're being too hasty? I came all this way to find you and helped you plot to win over a girl, don't I even get a meal?"

"Next time for sure! If it's any later, the bank will be closing. I need to deal with the people there today!"

"..."

Abel silently watched Senor's figure hurrying off, unable to resist muttering a few curses, "Man with a girlfriend loses humanity!"

Still, after the cursing, he couldn't help but worry about Senor.

After all, in the original story, Senor's and Lucien's ending was extremely heartbreaking.

He just hoped that this time there would be a happy ending.
