Chapter 643 I'm sorry
?"You don't... want to?!" Jabba froze in place, looking at Robin in shock
Robin didn't add a word either, he just made a simple nodding gesture.
"...Master, what is it exactly you don't want?" Jabba tried in every way to remain calm, "Don't you want to fulfill your promise to the All-Seeing God and go to Nihari to prepare to confront the invasion? Or is it that you don't want to stop supporting chaos on the entire planet and will just watch by the side while they wipe each other out even before the invasion arrives? Master... What is it that you not want?!"
"Hey, watch your tone!" Raiden shouted from afar
"DON'T interfere again." Robin raised his hand and quickly silenced Raiden without giving Jabba a chance, then he returned to focus on Jabba's eyes again, "...As for the internal fighting, as I said, I am just a merchant who has nothing to do with what is happening. If I really wanted to exterminate the inhabitants of those regions, I would have sent part of the demon army or even part of the human army to wipe them all out. You know the information blockade imposed on the Northern Region, and what you do not know is that the northern region has been quite busy lately... So do not wrong me with thinking that I want to kill them all, All that matters is that what is happening now will serve the bigger picture later~ As for the invaders, I have my own plan to deal with them, but the right time has yet to come."
Jabba was silent for a few seconds, clenching his fists as if he wanted to crush it before his voice came out hesitantly, "...If I may ask, does your plan include saving the people of Nihari from invasion or just preventing the invaders from gathering spoils?"
"To be your disciple, I must consider you my Master, I must listen and obey, but this time I have to break away from your will and return to save my homeland. Your Excellency deserves a better student than me." The words came out with difficulty from Jabba, his voice sounding as if it was choking with tears
Robin also remained silent for a while before his calm voice came out, "When you go to the Nihari Union Sect, I allow you to announce that you are an official envoy from me, They will listen to you and rally around you when they hear this... Oh, there is another thing, When I took you as my disciple, I made you swear not to leak anything you learned from me, you are perdoned from this oath. Use everything you see is in your best interest... And be careful."
"...Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you." Jabba raised his head and touched the ground again three times, before rising, bowing again, and leaving.
"....." Again, Raiden did not know what to do in front of a situation like this, so he started rubbing his hair with his right hand, but he was a little reassured when he saw that Robin's facial expressions were still calm, so he decided to go stand next to him again and change the subject or something like that, but after taking two steps... He heard the sound of liquid falling: *drops* *drops*
Drops of blood were falling from behind Robin's back. He dug into his hand with his fingertips until his blood flowed.
Raiden stood still and looked away. He knew at this moment that His Excellency's calm facial expressions and steady heartbeat concealed pent-up anger.
And he was right... That's why Robin refused to talk to Jabba for as long as possible. He knows the boy's love for his planet, or more accurately, he knows that Jabba sees himself as a descendant of the legendary Heaven Chosens and that he must be like his ancestors, trying to save the world until he dies. He also knows that one of the reasons why Jabba followed him until now was that he hoped to change Robin's mind and make him return again to Nihari.
But... Change his mind about what? And make him return for whom?!
Jabba had just said the truth, everything had been decided the day he met Richard.
