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?"
"Maybe some of them will survive, maybe not... I am not in control of fate." Robin replied coldly, hands behind his back
"So that's how it is... I should have expected this... I should have known that you would not change your view of Planet Nihari no matter what I do to help... Everything had been decided since that damn day.." Jabba sighed and stopped squeezing his hands, it seemed as if he had aged a hundred years at this moment.
"...Sigh~ That's not true, Jabba.. If it weren't for your presence, Planet Nihari wouldn't have been under the invasion of a single enemy I tell you that. And certainly, no one would have had an opportunity to survive." Robin tilted his head to the side and spoke with his eyes half open
"You're right, I should be thankful for this precious opportunity." Jabba smiled as he looked down for a few seconds before adding, "...But what if I'm not satisfied with just this opportunity? What if I want more for my homeland?"
"If you are trying to influence me to change my future vision, then I am sorry. The plan has been set and my will shall be executed." Robin stated firmly, but he quickly sighed and continued in a calm voice, "...Jabba, even in my worst psychological states, I never hated you, nor did I consider you like the rest of your kind. This is because you are truly different from them, you are a person destined for greatness. I understand that you feel you are responsible for protecting your homeland because there is no one else who can hold that position, but you saw what happened to me when I tried, that place is hopeless... Continue on your track, Jabba, learn and explore the universe and strengthen yourself, only in this way will the number of survivors of Nihari increase when the picture is complete."
The two remained silent for about another minute before Jabba took out a thick book from his space ring and passed it to Robin with both hands, "This book contains all the progress I have made in my work on the Body Cultivation Array. The Array can now help people with strong will achieve physical strength capable of confronting a Sage within a period of only 5 years, there are a few aspects that need development, such as that it consumes a large amount of energy, more than a thousand energy pearls per person, or that the expenses of making a single array are high due to the scarcity of components, but as long as your Excellency is present, of course you can overcome these simple problems. "
Robin continued to look at the book and browse through it until he heard the word *Your Excellency* from Jabba and he returned to looking at him with furrowed eyebrows.
At this moment, Jabba fell to his knee and his forehead touched the ground, "I know that the Body Cultivation Array is nothing compared to what you have provided for me. If you need me for anything, Your Excellency can contact me and I will do what I can to satisfy your needs. Thank you for everything."
"Are you severing your bond with me as a disciple?" Robin sent the book to his space ring and went back to putting his hands behind his back
"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.
