Chapter 388 I'm A Human

"Eh? What was that voice?"

"Did you hear it too? I thought I was delirious."

"No, no, that is definitely a real voice. Does he say he's Robin Burton?... The Robin Burton we know?!"

"Yes, only that criminal can make his voice be heard while we are in the south of the continent while he is on the Northern Green hill…"

"Am I wrong or did he say he is not sorry for everything he did to us? Damn him... DAMN HIM!! I lost my family because of his personal revenge!!"

"GO TO HELL, YOU BURTON BASTARD!!"

Conversations like this suddenly broke out all over the continent after Robin's voice echoed, Some were talking among themselves and some just looked at the Sky and started shouting

Not one person kept quiet after hearing Robin's words, whether they were surprised at wondering how they heard it or his comment about his lack of regret, or even pure insults and curses

-----------

On top of the Northern Green Hill--

"This... I think you should change your tone a little bit?!" Jabba was horrified when he heard the last sentence said by Robin, all of Robin's followers on the hill or who are still flying above the Draco were stunned by his words as well, did he distribute all those talismans to provoke the Ancestral Continent residents even farther and increase the hatred against him?! If so, Hereallt

But Robin didn't seem to hear anything, as he continued while holding the talisman, "Although I can't hear you, I can imagine your reactions. You must be angry right now. You must be cursing me in the streets, but I understand... After all, I'm the man who ruined your lives, And I may have caused the death of your relatives, how can you forgive me? You must want to rip my flesh from my bones now, you must want to turn my skin into a bag to pee in! Tell me... Would you have accepted my apology, Would whatever I said now change your opinion about me? Would it have changed your desire to kill me if you had the strength to do it?

----------

"I will kill you, son of a Burton!"

Whatever you say today, the day of your death is inevitably coming!"

"We will not accept any apology or compensation, you are dead!!"

The state of the streets all over the continent turned from surprise and questioning to complete rage after hearing Robin's confession, even those who were still sitting in their homes came out and started cursing and shouting at Robin as well.

But the funny thing is that after every insult or death threat, everyone would look around to see if the Demons were coming.

------------------------

"Again, I can't hear your voices, but let me guess... you all refused, right? You all want to kill me no matter how much I apologize and how much I try to make amends, right? Good." Robin inserted his Spiritual Sense into the talisman again and said, then paused for two seconds and continued, "This was also how I felt when I found Jura City destroyed."

--------------------------

"....."

--------------------------

"...The Burton family had some fame before this happened, I think most of you have heard of us at least once before the conquest of Jura City, I, Robin Burton, have produced many useful techniques, talismans, and other applications such as sound rings, and I facilitated the creation of high-quality armaments which have benefited you all in every way in Your daily life made things like mines digging much easier and decreased the number of worker's death in every land I controlled...

I am Robin Burton who declared war on Dolivar and seized a large piece of land by force! but still took its inhabitants from poverty to wealth and distributed Cultivation Techniques and Law Techniques among them... I am Robin Burton who spent my money to eliminate The phenomenon of hunger in all lands belonging to the Duchy of Burton... I am Robin Burton... who was seeking to change this world!

"But one day I returned from a faraway place and found the city of Jura in which I was raised, became ruins, I found my family killed, imprisoned, and chased, I knew that my wife had been killed and my son had been tortured for ten years...and who did all this? The Armies of the Eight Kingdoms! The children of my continent whom I used to work day and night to serve them!!"

---------------

"....."

"....."

"....."

------------

"...I had my own troops and used them to take my revenge. I declared war on the Eight Kingdoms and I won. After I won, I applied the well-known punishment of killing the loser's experts, but I didn't take your weak ones as slaves as I should have and left you all free, that's all that happened... and If one of you had the strength now he would come to kill me, the Demons and the entire Burton family, Whoever has such strength would not leave even my distant relatives a chance to live, isn't that right?

...That's why I'm not sorry, I just acted with my human nature. I'm not an angel to pardon the kingdoms that destroyed my family, nor am I stupid to let their experts try to take revenge on me while I'm at a possible war against the four empires on this planet and mightier enemies abroad. I did what I had to do. Let me get this straight, even if I could go back in time I will still do it again!

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to gain your sympathy or tell you to magically love me, I just want you to understand and put yourselves in my shoes, hate me but understand my situation, at least you will be sure of the reason you hate me for."

"Master…" Jabba didn't take his eyes off Robin's back for a moment, he could feel his breathing turbulent and his heart racing at every word, he didn't know if it was anger or anxiety, but he knew one thing, everything Robin said was coming out of the depths of his heart

---------------

*crack*

A young man sitting on top of one of the buildings clenched his fist so much that it started to make cracking sounds, but he didn't say a word

Yeah...

The gang that killed his family is dead now, how? he went and cultivated until he got stronger and then got back to his hometown and killed them all, there was no need to ask apology nor did he have mercy on one of them, he just started a random massacre until none of them left breathing... so he definitely understands what Robin is saying.

The problem is that Robin was the biggest factor in the killing of his family, as he was the one that started all this mess!

But... it was also he who saved his life when he has already started looking for someone to bury him alive...

The boy, Piers, raised both his hands and put them around his head, no longer knowing how to view the man who had saved him against his will in that little tavern.

A cold-hearted devil? or a man that did what he has to do...
