"...Did you et that Overord?" Robin asked, gesturing toward Pythor, but directing his question to Jabba.
"...." Jabba remained silent, but his body trembled slightly.
"Haha, of course, he t him. The mont he saw the greatness of our Overlord, he imdiately switched to the winning side." Pythor laughed loudly. "I wonder, did your personal disciple never et your Supre Lord? Perhaps he's just too shy or sothing? Even the Supre Lord on Judah was seen by everyone! Or is your Overlord so weak that when the Truth Chosen Jabba saw ours, he imdiately knew who the stronger one was?"
"I want to hear it from you." Robin didn't even send a glance at Pythor, instead turning to Jabba oce more with a firr tone. "How was your eting with that Overlord?"
"...I only t a shard of his soul. That shard was powerful enough to destroy Nehari if it wished." Jabba exhaled deeply as he recalled that day, his closed eyes trembling slightly. "Even today, I still shudder when I think of it."
Pythor nodded several tis, smiling as he heard those words. He then looked toward Robin to further exert pressure, but Robin remained focused on Jabba, showing no interest in Pythor whatsoever.
"Was that enough to break you?" Robin's tone turned cold. "The one who raised the banner of principles and defending the holand, who abandoned his master willingly to protect his people. You are the sa one who cast everything aside and helped destroy his own planet... because... he you are afraid?"
"People change every day. Don't talk about principles when you don't know anything about them." Jabba's tone was now angry.
Jabba's reply angered Robin slightly. "I've been steadfast since my first day. I never said anything and went back on it, and I certainly never betrayed anyone because I was afraid!" "Your words contradict the truth you know deep inside your heart!" Finally, Jabba stood up and pointed at Robin angrily. "That day when I t the shard of the Overlord's soul, it effortlessly scanned my soul domain as though reading a newspaper and found no trace of a soul restraint of any kind. Where's the oath tablet we used that day, , you, and Orzon? The tablet where you passed your soul through and swore that you would not bring harm to the Nehari giants and that you ca only to be a counselor and help us through this crisis. Co on, take it out and show if you can!"
"...." Robin was completely speechless, not knowing what to say. Jabba's question was very specific, and it was clear that he wasn't asking expecting an answer-he already knew it. "...I burned it the day I first saw Richard."
"..?!" Sitting beside him, Richard quickly turned toward Robin, his eyes wide in shock.
"You... you selfish bastard, for your wife, for your son, for two individuals!!" Jabba pointed at Robin angrily, raising his voice. "...For two individuals, you condemned an entire race to extinction? My race, , the one who followed you and helped strengthen your empire? It's been years since your eting with your kid, more than 20 years, and I've served you with all my senses, yet your hatred and animosity toward the Nihari giants have never wavered, and you even refused to assist in the mission that YOU was sent on!!"
"My empire, my war, my mission, my rules. Why should I listen to you when you order to move and go to Nihari? I have my own way of handling the war and the nihari giants' race. I never said I intended to exterminate them, and I never said I would stand by doing nothing. All you had to do was trust ." Robin responded firmly, "But you were too arrogant to listen, weren't you? Because you were one of the higher-ups of the empire, so strong and so important, you sohow thought you could order around, and I would obey!"
He continued, "Secondly, what did you do when you broke the ties between us and returned to the Eastern Region to warn them and take charge? Did they welco you with open arms when you tried to strengthen them and help them? Didn't they attack and betray you? Didn't you need to isolate the Nehari giants and destroy them yourself? You single-handedly destroyed all the giant tribes in the Eastern region, every single one of them! What exactly did you save by returning to them? The handful you threw into prison?"
"....." Pythor and the marshals shifted their gazes toward Jabba, eagerly awaiting his response. This conversation was incredibly entertaining!
"Nonsense! I was trying to save the Nihari giants' race, not preserve the existing order. If I had to destroy them to save a handful of them, what's the problem with that? As for you... you intended to exterminate them all, and that's why you destroyed the oath tablet!" Jabba's shouting grew louder, "I stood by you for nearly 50 years, I built the Nihari Union Sect with you stone by stone, and returned to conquer Planet Jura and Planet Greenland with you. I helped you develop your combat style and introduced you to blood research, I stood by you and helped with my very soul and blood! I built a array for a completely new body- strengthening system just for you, for hell's sake!! And in the end? You condemned my entire race to extinction for a dead woman, a woman you never even loved!"
Disturbance
Richard stood up. "Say that again, I dare you!" A thick killing intent radiated from every inch of his body, sending chills down everyone's spine, even Pythor, whose thick hair seed to recoil as if rging with his seat.
Caesar and Sakaar also seed on alert, both knowing very well what Lady Mila ant in Robin's heart.
Even Holak shook his head. "Tsk tsk, that was a cheap shot, my friend~"
"...Calm down, let him show what's in his heart." The only one who remained calm on the surface was Robin, who pulled Richard's hand and sat him back down. He then turned to Jabba once more, his tone extrely cold. "Go on, my dear disciple, continue."
Baah
Jabba took two steps back and collapsed into his seat, suddenly feeling as though his head was too heavy, supporting it with both hands. "...I'm sorry, I didn't an to dishonor the mory of Lady Mila. I was just... I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize." Robin, with cold eyes and a steady tone, shifted his gaze away from Jabba. "I was only trying to figure out whether you were forced, or if you did all this willingly, and now I have my answer. There's no need to say any more."
Then he turned to look Pythor in the eye, his gaze still cold, but deep within them, a volcano was clearly waiting to erupt. His next words were a testant to that: "I completely reject your foolish offer. I won't return the nine planets to you without compensation, and I won't give up an inch of Nihari. If you don't have a reasonable offer, your corpses will turn into demon shit by the end of the day!"
