The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world

Chapter 155 Ch 153: The Reason Why [Pt1]

"So, I don't think we got to finish our talk from earlier."

These words felt as much like a threat as they were a warning for Yohan not to make any sudden movements and alert others to her movement.

Yohan had the choice to disobey Bernetta but even he was sure that the other girl would never let him go if he tried to run away. So the only logical choice she had left Yohan with was to follow her orders.

She even had her partner keep an eye on things for the time being.

"I suppose I don't have any choice in this matter, do I?"

"No, you don't. Also, don't worry about yourself. As nice as you look. I am neither into dudes nor into kids. So you can relax when you are with me."

Somehow, Yohan doubted that his biggest issue with being with Bernetta was her interest in him and his 'assets'. He was more worried about fighting than anything else.

No one batted an eyelash as Yohan was escorted out of the death zone by the two officers. No one but Liza that was, since she had decided to keep a strict eye on Yohan and coordinate her next course of action with him.

She was confused when Yohan left the scene, followed by Bernetta and Shizue but she did not pay much attention to it.

"So, now that we are alone, you better open your mouth and say what you want to. I don't have much time to entertain you, kid. Tell us what you know about this case."

Shizue cornered Yohan as soon as they were alone. Her hand slammed into the wall being Yohan's head with an indescribable force that caused it to crack a little. His bone might have broken if he had been touched by so much force.

But still, Yohan refused to be intimidated by Shizue. She was not even half as scary as her partner was after all.

Not to mention, the said partner was currently present in the trio as well. Bernetta looked beyond amused at seeing Shizue getting triggered by Yohan.

"Bernetta, stop laughing and help me out. You assured us that we will catch the culprit if we interrogated Yohan Strout and that was the only reason I agreed to your foolish plan."

Shizue instantly looked toward Bernetta when she started laughing. Yohan watched understanding flash across Shizue's face all of a sudden and she instantly let Yohan go and turned to Bernetta at once.

Her fist tightened around Benetta's shoulder but Bernetta only laughed even when she was threatened with this. She seemed to not mind what was happening to her.

"How dare you play such tricks on me. Was it funny to see me this worried about something you knew was not true? Was it this much fun, huh?"

Bernetta moved as her body was shaken. Her joy-filled laughter seemed to be genuine but it was a waste of time as well. Yohan let the pair fool around in front of him for a few more minutes before he put his hand up.

Shizue, who was startled by the sudden move, instantly let Bernetta go and turned toward Yohan with her weapon out.

"Don't try anything funny or you will regret it. I don't know what kind of game my partner is playing with you, but I refuse to be a part of it myself."

Shizue complained as she walked a few steps back. But she had only walked a few steps when her back touched Bernetta's chest and a pair of arms closed around her torso.

"Awww, don't be like that Shizue. Help me out here. Do it for me please."

"Hey, is no one going to ask me anything? I was dragged here against my will as well."

Of course, Yohan was ignored by the two lovers in front of him. It was getting a little irritating now. So what he did was obvious - he stood up and decided to walk away from this drama.

"Fine, I agree. But don't you dare keep me in the dark."

"Yes, fine. You win the round so I will tell you everything I am planning to do. Now don't be angry with me."

Yohan did not look back when he reached the door. He had enough of this PDA in front of him. Of course, he never made it out of the door because he was dragged back once again into the room.

"Wooah, where are you going, Yohan Strout? You are the most crucial part of my plan. So, have you heard anything about the 'central chord' before?"

Yohan would not have paid any attention to Bernetta's words if she had not thrown out such obvious bait. She knew how to make Yohan interested but he decided not to show it outright.

However, Bernetta seemed to have her answer already from the way she was grinning back at him. Her self-assured look was what caused Yohan to turn toward her and decide to hear her out.

"Yeah, you heard me right. I am talking about the only central chord that controls this world. Would you like to steal it with me?"

Bernetta's grin was a feral one when she purposed it. Shizue's gasp of surprise made Yohan realize that this might be the first time Bernetta was making such a request.

"B-B-Bernetta, what are you saying? Leave the central chord alone."

Shizue yelled out in surprise, not even bothering to mask the volume of her voice when she spoke to her partner. Shizue's shock was mirrored on Yohan's face. He was surprised to hear Bernetta speaking this.

First of all, she was a police officer and Yohan was sure that she was breaking quite a few rules by speaking about this topic.

"Hoh, you are planning to steal the central chord? That's daring but also stupid, right? I wonder what would happen if I report you right now."

Yohan and Betnetta's eyes met and they both knew Yohan would not do that. However, since Shizue did not have the same understanding as the other two, she panicked even more.

"So, you in or not? And before you decide, I already know you made contact with the rebels and they are planning thier attack. I can make 'your plans' fail as well. So think carefully before choice your option."

This was an all-out threat now and Yohan respected Bernetta for it. For the first time since his entry into this world, Yohan could say that he was feeling a thrill.

Perhaps, it will be well worth it for the two of them to cooperate on this mission. But just until they got to the central chord, that is. After that, they will be enemies once again.

"Hey, Bernetta, have you gone mad? Tell me right now that you were joking or I will get angry at you. Hey, are you even listening to me?"

Shizue, who had been side-lined for all this while tried to enter the conversation. But there was no room for her in-between the other two geniuses.

Yohan considered whether he needed to be suspicious of Bernetta or not and there was only one way to do so. He had to ask her the main question and then trust in his ability to read her.

"Before we decide anything, I feel like I need to ask you this - why do you want to possess the central chord? Your answer would decide everything for me."
