"You mean…" Madam Mary stared at Atika Light, "Part of what he said and behaved was an act?"
"Did you feel as such?" Atika Light smiled.
"No," Madam Mary shook her head, "Everything he had said was the truth."
"One doesn't need to lie to scheme. He just used the truths he had accumulated to force things his way. It is crude and has a lot of risks, but it seems he had enough confidence to foresee his plans into fruition." Atika Light stared in calm, expressing her interest, "Did you ever reveal your identity as his grandmother before?"
"Yes," Madam Mary nodded, "I did speak about it to him once. But…you mean, he decided to base everything on a single line? He doesn't strike me as such a gullible and naïve individual."
"No, right," Atika Light said, "But, he must have obtained some information to consolidate his confidence."
