9 ☐☐77% Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Glenn suddenly added, “As for Quinlyn, there's no rush; let's first look at the situation." +5 The group felt a bit confused, unsure of where the conversation was headed. Howard felt relieved, happy he didn't becthe bad guy.
They moved to the conference room on the upper floor. As they walked, Howard leaned over to Quinlyn and whispered an apology, “We made mistakes before, and we hurt you. Thank you for helping with the rescue. I've heard you even paid smedical bills. I really- "I don't like you," Quinlyn cut him off, staring straight ahead, her pace steady. "So there's no need to try to makelike you." Howard stumbled over his words, feeling an awkwardness he wasn't accustomed to. Many of the top students from the Science Academy wanted to join Special Operations, as it was an honor. But Quinlyn acted as if she despised it.
Remembering that she owned an entire building of DigitalKey Group, Howard could somewhat understand her feelings. In the multipurpose conference room on the second floor, the big screen lit up, showing more than a dozen young offenders.
"We didn't do this for any reason." "What do we have to fear? The law keeps us safe; even if we kill someone, we won't face real punishment." "I'm hungry. I want food first. You don't feed me? That's child abuse, and I can report you." The scenes from several interrogation rooms looked strikingly similar, leaving the teachers and guards completely baffled. In one case, when served bad food, a kid flipped his plate, getting a teacher covered in food.
He had said, "Shut up, you old hag. I've listened to you ramble all morning. You think I'm going to let you bossaround? I'm just a kid, and there's nothing you can do to me." In the end, it was the adults who becfrustrated and left, leaving a group of children to thrive in chaos.
Everyone watching the screen frowned with worry. They thought, 'If this is what's coming for society, what hope do we have?' After a quick break, Caspian, an expert appeared on the screen and said, "Glenn, these young offenders have completely lost respect for laws and human life. The one who's been here the least has already spent over a year here.
"We've provided sports, crafts, and education, with plenty of entertainment to spark their interest in society. We've tried to give them the best environment to rebuild their love for the community.

"Behavioral decline refers to a situation in which a species, living in an environment with excessive social density and no worries about basic needs like food and clothing, ultimately declines and faces extinction due to psychological degeneration." "How can they decline when they're sent to adult prisons after just a few years?" Howard asked, struggling to understand.
Caspian explained, "Typically, this kind of decline takes a longer tto develop. However, these offenders are minors with immature minds, sof whom are violent individuals with antisocial personality traits.
"Their deeply antisocial and self-centered behavior, combined with a lack of respect for others, has contributed to this mental decline." 1/3 30 Chapter 191 Caspian's explanation showed just how complicated this issue was, revealing it was more than simply individual bad choices.
If it were just about bad actions directed by conspiracies, it would be much easier to handle. But now, collective psychological issues were making everything worse.
After a moment of thought, Glenn said, "First, we need to check out other juvenile facilities and change our educational methods. The youths need to be separated for psychological evaluations." "Got it," his secretary said.
Having noticed a worrying trend, the first step was to stop it from spreading.
"Next, we need to keep the information secret. There will be no visits or bail for now," Glenn continued, circling a document with his pen. “We'll treat this place as a testing site to find a solution." His clear commands helped bring the situation under control. Since this was a psychological issue, the next steps would have to follow expert advice.
"The juvenile detention center is like a small ecosystem. The current comforts have numbed their feelings, leading to twisted views. I suggest we introduce a disruptive force into the system to shake things up,” Caspian proposed.
"A disruptive force?" Glenn thought for a moment and said, "Then let's send sindividuals in to try it out.” "Sure," Howard replied, aware that these individuals would need to be tough.
Throughout the rest of the meeting, no one mentioned Quinlyn.
"Let's grab a meal together; I noticed you enjoyed your meal earlier, and now I'm feeling pretty hungry," Glenn said and guided Quinlyn downstairs.
A servant quickly served a table full of dishes. Quinlyn watched as a trainee helped taste-test the dishes. Once it was confirmed that everything was safe to eat, Glenn finally dug in. "You're probably wondering why I didn't send you." Quinlyn stated plainly, "You promised Edward you would protect me; you can't go back on that." Even if she had chosen to break the agreement herself, it seemed a bit too quick to give up on protecting her. Glenn found himself at a loss for words. After a long moment, he chuckled softly. "You really have no fear ofat all. But, you only got half of the truth.
"Another reason I haven't sent you is because I can't guarantee you'll be able to finish the job. Our country has plenty of exceptional talent, many of whom are better than you." After all, Quinlyn was just a ten-year-old student.
Not deterred by his words, Quinlyn just nodded and picked up a book to read. Though the villa felt a bit m as the villa confining, it's large library had many rare books. She wanted to make the most of her tthere by reading as much as possible before leavin Noticing that Quinlyn had lost interest in the case, Glenn realized that her only goal was to help Frank. He could at least respect her innocent wish.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFive days later, chaos erupted again at the juvenile detention center.
"Can you believe it? They blew up the boiler room in the middle of the night, and the instructor got third-degree burns. They're still proud of it," Howard said.
He was angry about the news, unable to comprehend how a group of children could have defeated the highly trained special forces so easily.
12:58 Sun, 30 Mar Chapter 191 "Howard, don't forget these kids are not just kids; they're offenders, sof whom can plan murders. Their criminal intelligence isn't less than that of adults," a guy interjected.
Caspian said, "Exactly. Whether it's teachers or staff, when adults get involved, it makes them even more determined to defeat the adults. Plus, the laws protect them, so they becbolder." "What can we do?" Glenn asked, tired from days of work, his eyes half-closed.
"I think we should consider that alternative approach we talked about before. Bringing in peers could be the best way" Caspian suggested, though his voice carried a hint of uncertainty. "Who are we bringing in? Are they strong enough?" A hand suddenly shot up. "I'm strong enough." 77% Caspian turned to see Quinlyn, who had just put down her storybook, revealing a delicate face and wearing a cute dress.
