Chapter 2117

Leia pondered, and found the name familiar. "Oh, the guy who nearly got into a fight with you just now? He didn't look nice. So Lucas belonged to his gang!"

Liam frowned and said solemnly, "Let me handle this. I'll make Mateo hand him over and make it up to you."

Here, Benjamin's power and influence were among the top. He had adopted a few sons who were managing different areas and industries respectively. Coincidentally, Mateo was asked to handle the field related to scamming. Lucas being in charge of the factory meant he was working for Mateo.

In short, Mateo was the reason why Renee and Leia suffered.

Liam adored Renee, while Leia was his younger sister. No doubt he couldn't accept that.

"Forget it. Lei and I escaped the calamity. This is a lesson for us. You don't have to get justice for us." Renee was worried that she might make Liam and Mateo fall out with each other. It would put Liam in a difficult situation at the fort. She didn't want to worsen the situation.

"No, I can't!" Leia said angrily. "We were hurt and wronged. If we let it go, those people will get reckless. Then, there will be more people who suffer and get hurt like us. Even if we don't seek justice for ourselves, we have to take precautions for people who may suffer!"

"I understand your sense of justice, but this matter isn't that simple. It's an industry approved by those superiors. Even if we get angry, it's useless. We can't overestimate ourselves," Renee analyzed rationally.

The local superiors ignored that affair. As common citizens who might be controlled at any time, they couldn't meddle.

To put it bluntly, offending Mateo might make it hard for Liam to escape, let alone Renee and Leia. Renee didn't want them to take such a risk.

"We should try, shouldn't we?" Leia was furious as she placed her hands on her waist.

She looked at Renee with disappointment.

"Ren, what I'll say next might anger you. I think you've changed. You said I have a sense of justice, but I learned that from you. When you ran into this kind of situation in the past, you were more indignant than I was. You wanted to get rid of the villains. But now, I think you're soulless. You're afraid of taking risks. You let evil grow even though you're fully aware of it...

"Have you ever considered the possibility of us failing to escape if we were unlucky? How would they torture us? We'd be forced to take all kinds of messy videos. Doesn't the thought of it scare you?

In the past, Leia wasn't such a righteous person. After getting to know Renee and learning more about Renee's righteous character, she swore to be like Renee. She wanted to be kind and honorable. She wanted to get rid of the evil because it was the right thing to do.

"Yes, I've changed," Renee admitted honestly while facing Leia's disappointed rebukes. "I was fearless when I was young. I would recklessly do things I felt right without considering the consequences. But I'm older now. I want to lead a peaceful and safe life. Just take me as an ordinary person who just wants to mind my own business."
