How stupid do you have to be to literally have your sister kidnapped to blackmail you into doing something. Only to have her released and then kidnapped again later with the same promise and somehow expect them to follow through and leave your sister completely alone.
Same with the other scenarios, somehow these officials trust and make deals with literal terrorists who have proven time and time again that they'll just never uphold their end of the bargain without reneging and doing it again.
Personally this just got annoying and repetitive with no character growth nor any modicum of extra precaution on the part of the so-called "Protectors in the shadow"
