I didn't expect them to take the bait so easily. After all, convincing someone to do something wasn't that easy. However, the bait I had made was quite rational and reasonable in their eyes, so there was a high chance that they would bite it.0

It was the same as people saying that they wouldn't fall for scams after seeing people getting scammed, but if one were to look around, there were many such rational victims everywhere.0

The victims weren't dumb, and that certainly wasn't the reason they got scammed. In fact, even scammers making a living out of backstabbing people would get scammed as well.0

Not to mention highly educated people, but even veterans with extensive social experience could get backstabbed as well. Of course, there were people like our lovely regressors, who were unconsciously making it easier for others to stab them in the back.0

However, people like them were quite rare. The majority would act cautiously, and in fact, even beasts would be wary whenever they had to offer up something that belonged to them.0

Seraphim was the same.0

He knew our plan was feasible because of all the work we had put into it so far, but he felt like he couldn't offer up something that belonged to him...0
