I Was Mistaken as a Great War Commander

Daniel's chilling words seemed to tighten around Campbell’s throat like a noose.

He knew that the correct answer was to deny it, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.

How could he lie in front of a madman who had pulled the trigger of a live revolver?

"I, I..."

Campbell’s words faltered, his eyes trembling, but Daniel did not rush him.

He decided to wait until the fear growing in Campbell’s heart bore fruit.

‘The human imagination is limitless.’

What would happen if Campbell realized that the man across the table was the one pulling the trigger on a revolver with live ammunition?

What if, on top of that, Campbell was engulfed by the fear that this man might kill him?

‘He’d start thinking in the worst possible direction.’

The more someone had to lose, the more they tended to think negatively about the threat they faced.@@novelbin@@

‘And...’

Daniel Steiner had already made sure to push Campbell into that negative thought process.

It wasn’t a coincidence that he had sent armed soldiers to take Campbell’s wife and child.

As Daniel had predicted, Campbell was now thinking about his family.

‘Could it be that my family...?’

Once Campbell realized that Daniel’s threats weren’t just empty words, the worry for his family overwhelmed him.
