Chapter 1056: Chapter 1028: Who Did You Scam Again? (Four Updates) Chapter 1056: Chapter 1028: Who Did You Scam Again? (Four Updates) “Feeling good?” Mario Yuno called Kiara while she was working out, and her voice was clearly cheerful.
“Yeah, I splurged today, and it felt pretty good.”
“Did you buy sothing big for the house?”
“Not really, I used the money to buy an ending I really liked, money well spent for my happiness——”
It made Kiara feel great, but she couldn’t quite say why.
“Isn’t your pocket money invested in futures with Susi?” Mario Yuno rarely asked about her financial situation. The large sums were invested, and Kiara managed the spending money, with a habit of regularly reporting on family finances.
“No worries, I threw out 20,000 and got back 30,000.” Money wasn’t the point, but the joy of achievent was.
“…who did you scam this ti?”
Seeing his daughter-in-law’s expression, it was clear she was in a good mood, which made Mario Yuno feel cheerful too.
“How can you call it a scam? I was ‘liberating all beings’ today. I wore the ugly work clothes you picked for to substitute teach, and just happened to take on a patient with violent tendencies. It’s just a small case that should take a few hours!”
It was quite a coincidence that Professor Liu Taylor asked Kiara to treat the girl who had troubled Alia Lancaster by putting drawing pins in her shoes that day.
The girl ca from a business family with decent conditions, but she had shown violent tendencies since middle school, often bullying her classmates in abnormal ways. It was getting worse, and what drove her father to seek Professor Liu Taylor was the shocking act of her scalding the family cat with boiling water.
Such behavior was truly horrifying, especially since the girl enjoyed reading about violence, which made her father worried she might beco sothing terrible, hence he turned to Professor Liu Taylor.
Professor Liu Taylor originally wanted Kiara to witness these kinds of dical records, but by a twist of fate, the girl kicked an iron plate and encountered an even more aggressive person with violent tendencies, who beat her up.
Just as Kiara was fretting about giving away her spending money on a whim, she went to Professor Liu Taylor’s ho, where she learned from Professor Liu Taylor that the girl who had bullied Ruby Chubby Girl was the patient she was to see, and the symbol of money imdiately appeared in Kiara’s eyes.
“Sounds like this patient isn’t exactly fond of you,” Mario Yuno chuckled.
A small case that could be solved in a few hours, starting at 30,000, must definitely involve soone his daughter-in-law particularly disliked.
“I’m a heartless doctor driven by money; that’s just how I am. If she’s upset about the cost, she can find soone else.”
Kiara didn’t want to talk about that patient she indeed disliked and quickly changed the subject to more serious matters.
“How are things going with Arlong? Have you seen him?”
“He’s still in the dark, not knowing where we sent him, and he’s quite excited. But Kiara, I took a look at his luggage, and I feel there’s sothing wrong with the kid.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Lately, Arlong’s been reading so really violent books and playing a very violent video ga. Could it have a negative influence on him?”
Kiara breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought it was sothing serious, but it was just this.
“This isn’t serious; just confiscate the books, and don’t worry that he’ll turn bad because of a few books. With his temperant, he couldn’t turn to violence even if he wanted to. At this stage, he’s only fit to be on the receiving end of violence.”
“But isn’t it always said that films and TV shows influence young people?” Mario Yuno imdiately seized the books when he found them in Arlong’s luggage and read a few pages carefully, gasping in shock.
It was truly too bloody. Who knows who gave Arlong such books, they are bound to lead kids astray.
“It has always been our belief that violent films, TV shows, or books influence people, including so serious criminals who, after being caught, bla their cris on having read such bad books. However, this view is one-sided.”
They say Young and Dangerous influenced a whole generation, creating a bunch of little ruffians.
But why is it that so many people watch these films and only a fraction commit cris?
Were there no little thugs before Young and Dangerous existed?
Most people, after watching, simply idolized the plots and foolishly imitated them, strutting around the village entrance with a tree branch, pretending to be a gang leader with shirtless bravado, leading a few snotty kids pretending to play at being tough guys in society, tugging on girls’ pigtails, kicking chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, and so on. They would stealthily steal sweet lons from Uncle Wong’s field next door, but once grown up, turn into law-abiding good citizens.
Draco Clark was clearly one of those with the will but not the courage to be a thief.
“Kiara, what you’re saying is different from what I learned in elective courses when I went to school,” Mario Yuno reminded her, hinting at the discrepancy.
Kiara snorted, “That’s because what you were taught back then was wrong!”
There are many causes of violence, including innate environntal influences. For example, the girl who was cheated out of 20,000 today grew up in a bad family atmosphere and lack of emotional warmth, leading to violent tendencies, while Ruby Chubby Girl’s boyfriend had abnormal behavior due to nerve damage. But regardless of the cause, there are few adults who beco “bad” simply from watching so films or reading a few books.
“Bad” isn’t sothing learned. Psychological experints have also shown that content depicting violence and violence in real life are not connected, although there are controversies in the field, Kiara stands on the side that believes there is no influence.
If soone truly beca thoroughly “bad” from reading a book or watching a film, that person must have inherent violent tendencies and a problematic family atmosphere. In other words, creative works might make a person with these tendencies worse, but they have little effect on normal people.
Therefore, it is not objective for adult criminals to bla their wrongdoings on bad content, just like so people say they did not know what they were doing because they drank too much. It’s the sa principle.
All these are external factors; the real root cause was planted long ago.
Mario Yuno didn’t understand Kiara’s specialty but liked the confidence in her voice.
“So, we don’t need to worry about Arlong’s case, right?”
“No need. Just wait until he’s sent over and let the fool experience life firsthand. Real-life experience is the best way to force a person to grow. When he realizes he has no way out, he’ll have to strive for improvent even if he doesn’t want to.”
Conveniently, she had prescribed the sa real-life experience therapy for the girl who was cheated out of 20,000. Kiara was planning to first restore the fatherly love the patient was missing in the situational experience. Then, the treatnt would naturally follow. According to Kiara’s approach, accumulating several hours would be enough.
Arlong, the extravagant young master, needed a bit more ti, but he wasn’t as lucky. What awaited him wasn’t a situational experience, but reality.
After chatting for a few more monts, they reluctantly hung up the phone.
Kiara looked around her empty ho and then lowered her head to write a line in her notebook.
Sitting and waiting for the extravagant Arlong to be tornted into submission, ha ha ha!
