Lord of the Truth-Chapter 340 Wake-Up Call
"Have you gone mad? Have you forgotten all they did to Jura City? Has your memory been erased from how they killed our men and captured our women? Did you see the conditions of Caesar and the rest of our special forces and Rune Masters who were fortunate to be captured...? And you yourself... I gave you a few months to catch your breath and you have already forgotten how they chased you across the Ancestral Continent for more than a decade? Did you forget your friends who were killed in front of your eyes while fleeing from mountain to mountain like a flock of headless birds? Don't you know that they were the reason my-- MY…!!
...forget it." Robin stood and yelled at Billy, until he reached the last sentence and then suddenly stopped, the anger in his eyes turning into weakness for a second.
But he didn't stay in this condition for long, he ignored Billy right after and looked behind him, "Get ready, the people of this continent have chosen to be our enemies, today we will--"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! I won't allow you to give this order!!!" Before Robin could finish his sentence, Billy leaped forward with his whole body like a spear and knocked Robin to the ground again.
"Get away from me you crazy bastard, you think I won't hit you back?!" Robin tried to push Billy off him without hurting him, but he failed.
"MAS--" Amon took a step forward to retain Billy until Robin finished what he wanted to say, but Jabba grabbed his arm before moving forward and shook his head... Amon seemed to understand something, and stood in his spot again, gritting his teeth.
"I won't let you go until you change your mind, or kill me!" Billy shouted with tears in his eyes, then continued, "You want me to remember what they did to the family? How can I forget? They were all my responsibility! .. I still feel their souls choking me to sleep every day, AND YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO TELL ME TO REMEMBER?!"
Billy raised one of his arms and wiped his tears, then added, "...But this was war, whoever dies will die and whoever is captured will wish that he died, but don't do this to the innocent, Robin, do not bear this guilt, if you give this command you will remain sinner for the rest of your life, you will be the worst evildoer the world has ever seen!"
Wake up Robin, the path you choose for yourself will be erased forever, the years you spent in that cave will be wasted, and the world you decided to change for the better will turn into a cemetery... You are better than that, you are the hope of this planet, please don't be his misfortune!! ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
*BAA*
Robin punched Billy in the face, threw him aside, then stood looking at him without even trying to dust himself off, "The path that I've chosen for myself? Taking this path destroyed my family, destroyed the Ancestral Continent through me, and now I'm going to keep destroying everything until I put down some of the fire that is burning inside me!!"
Then he looked up at the sky with eyes brimming with tears, "I wish I hadn't spent any years in the cave, I wish I had gone to those contests and had some slaves and gold as a reward, I wish-- I only wish that I had died that day without the All-Seeing appearing..." When Robin mentioned this Name he closed his fist tightly causing it to bleed a little, but quickly let go and looked at Billy, "This is me now, I'm going to pass the order and that's over, Get used to the new system or go commit suicide on your own, that's up to you."
Then Robin turned and began to take heavy steps toward his army of Demons, although he could have given the order from his place. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
He began to inhale and exhale forcefully, but chaotically, although a person of his strength could restore balance to his breathing in the blink of an eye even if he spent the whole day fighting...
Even Amon, who declared that he only wanted to receive orders, noticed that Robin was struggling to utter the words or not. He really wanted to intervene and say something, but it seemed as if the words he learned in all languages ??had escaped his memory...
But Amon's inner struggle did not last long, Billy uttered words that forced Robin to stop, and forced everyone to open their eyes to the end of them.
"Would Mila have agreed to this?" Billy shouted
"…." Robin held his place for a moment, partly opening his mouth, then slowly turned his head back to face Billy, "You… what did you say?!"
"Mila... it seems I was right.. she was a good woman," Billy spoke as he wiped the blood from his mouth from Robin's punch
"You don't know what you are talking about," Robin responded forcefully and then looked angrily at Amon and the rest, all of whom quickly shook their heads to absolve themselves of being the ones who had told Billy.
"Heh~ you don't need to be angry with them, no one told me anything but it was clear... you don't care about the damned family nor do you care about justice as you claim, you only care about Mila and Caesar, and you will not reach this state unless something happens to one of them... Billy stood up and continued, "I know you love her, and I know she's a good woman who didn't deserve anything wrong to happen to her, but whatever happened has happened and whatever you do now won't bring her back, please stop... stop for her."
"I did this to her... AND I WILL KEEP DOING IT FOR HER! you have no right to tell me what she wants or doesn't want, she was my wife! MY WIFE!!" Robin turned completely and shrieked
"..." Billy didn't get angry nor shocked when Robin screamed at him this way but had a very sad expression on his face... Only now did his assumptions confirm, Mila is gone, Tears began to flow from his eyes like springs with no sign of stopping.
After Robin's departure to the Nihari world, Mila became fully involved in the administration of the Burton family, whether it was the Rune Academy, logistics, auctions, or planning for future directions and strategies, Mila participated in everything, and her role became even greater after the birth of Richard Burton, Robin's only male heir.
And Billy, as the chief executive of the family and the actual patriarch who organizes everything personally, was dealing with Mila almost daily. It would not be an exaggeration if it was said that Billy knew Mila and spent more time with her than Robin ever did!
But Billy's sipping eyes and saddened expression did not stop him from speaking in a choked voice, "If there is really was a world where the dead meet... when the day comes and you tell her that you killed tens millions of innocents under her name... Do you think she will be happy?"
