The narrator tells us that his father was a "megabillionaire" who had been "switching wives" until he died and had seven children. He had given all of his property to his son. The narrator says that the only thing he has now is his father's summer house, which is the place he's been living in since he lost the "trial" with the old man. He tells the narrator that the other children lost too, and that they don't have any of his money either. He says that they're the ones who seduced him with their "coquetry" and that he doesn't like his guts too much. He asks the narrator to stop trying to kill his son, because the kid is "getting scared" . Then the narrator tells the story of how he was playing hide-and-seek with his friend, Paul. When he woke up, he found candy by his side. Paul was "going to kill" him, but he didn't want to kill the narrator. He grabbed his hand and tried to hand him over to the narrator, but Paul slipped on the ground, preventing the narrator from holding his hand. He explains that the narrator's mother had a "mental problem" like her son.
