The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 663

Jacob sighed. “No, sweetheart. I know that you already found out how I punish those that goes against me and those that tried to harm you. You know what happened to CEO Wang, right?” Jacob saw J nods his head.

“He was in one of the dark chambers where he was confined until he lost his sanity. We released them when the diagnosis was confirmed but when he attacks you in a shopping plaza, we realized that there were still memories of you that could trigger him and caused him to attack you. So, he was taken back here for further evaluation and he was released only when we were sure that he will be taken in a mental institution where he could not harm you.”

“Our way of punishment has always been like that,” Jacob said nonchalantly seeing that J could take the information well enough.

J nodded her head, she already had the idea and it was just now that Jacob personally told her about it. “Psychological torture,” J mumbled to herself.

“Then, what about JK and Stella? Are they in there as well?” J is sitting on the bed hugging a pillow while Jacob is sitting on a plush chair.

Jacob shook his head. “No, JK is still in the rehabilitation center, while Stella is just at their home. Both have lost money and profession and they just seemed at a loss. If they want to get back to their usual glamorous life, they have to go back to zero. And that’s an insult to their pride and ego. But, just so you know, I’m not done with them yet. I’m just finding the perfect opportunity.”

J look at him with a blank face. “You’ll still have them in one of the chambers?” She asked.

“Yes,” Jacob replied without hesitation.

“Is it necessary?” J thinks that JK and Stella’s punishment is already enough. What CEO Wang had as a punishment was just kind of sinister.

“Yes,” Jacob replied without a blink.

“Why?”

“Retribution. Seeking retribution has been rooted deeply in the human’s repertoire.” Jacob calmly said.

“But it can only intensify the injury making it hard for a person to move on,” J replied, her eyes fixed on Jacob who is calmly sitting on the chair across her.

“You are right. When Senator Rizza kissed me in front of you and you were sure that she was trying to seduce me in front of you. Did you felt, offended right? And your instinct tells you to seek retribution. Even thou her offense is not that grave, you still seek retribution which exceeds the offense that she committed. Why?” Jacob didn’t break their stare on each other.

J was taken aback by his question. It was like he was throwing the questions back at her in an inconspicuous way.

“Its…the thought makes me uncomfortable,” J replied lowering her head. She doesn’t want to admit it but Jacob is making his point about retribution as punishment clear.

“After you had your retribution, that event rarely cross your mind right? You moved on that easily. Thou if you didn’t have your revenge, you might still be able to move on but it will take a lot of time, right? Seeking retribution could intensify the injury and make it hard to move on unless you get that retribution.” Jacob stated which made J nodded her head in agreement because that’s what she really felt.

Her irritation towards that incident has lessened.

“But isn’t it too harsh?”

“They are guilty so, they deserve it.” Jacob chuckled because he thought that J was thinking too much. He was supposed to tell her about the underground facility at the Naupaka Mountain and the form of punishment that President Martin has under his sleeves.

But the topic drifted away from the supposed argument.

He stood up and walked towards her in the bed. The bed dipped when he sits in front of her with one leg on the bed while the other one hanging on the side.

“Severe punishments such as this prevents them from committing the same offense as they did. People might find out about this form of punishment that we are doing but they’ll see no evidence, instead, they’ll feel repressed. But that’s the sole purpose of it. To instill in people’s minds that any misstep against us, or to you, could cause them to be punished severely. But people are smart, they know that only those who try to offend us will be punished.”

This is how the Twelve Army and the Robin Hood Society put the law in their hands. This is how they perceive justice. Even without legal authority, as long as they are not being caught, they didn’t do anything wrong in the society. They were just seeking justice against those who offend them in their own way because they think that some legal agencies are inadequate and unjust.
