Lord of the Truth

"Tsk~" When Orzon changed to treat him politely and called him respectfully, Robin felt even more uncomfortable... just because Jabba said he came for him suddenly he became worthy of respect?

Only giants have the power to decide who should be respected here?!

Robin couldn't wait to say what he came for and then get out of here without a single extra moment.

"Listen, do you know a girl named Laurie?" Robin spoke seriously

"Laurie... Laurie... No, can't recall a certain face to it, we have had a lot of girls with that name, can you explain more, please? Did one of the settlement girls misbehave with the masters?" Orzon smiled

"Laurie is a talkative, good looking girl, she was in a caravan with 7 giants, ...she said that her mother was the victim of the assault of 4 giants here inside the settlement, she said that you and her father let this happen.. do you remember her now?" A look of contempt still stuck in his eyes as he spoke the entire time

"AHAA that Laurie, you mean Arkis's daughter, yeah yeah I remember her, she is a good girl.. what about her? I know the girl, she understands her role and she wouldn't make trouble for the masters! Is she alright?" Chief Orzon replied smiling as if he had heard about an old friend

"TCH.." Robin murmured when he saw that this man didn't care about his involvement in Laurie's mother's death, he didn't try to defend himself or explain for a moment,

"No she's not okay, she died, I killed her, blew her up, and burned her, and 10 other girls along with her as well," Robin responded directly

"Oh..." Chief Orzon was silent for a moment, "So they must have done something wrong then and must have deserved this, did you two come here to complain about what they did? Go ahead and speak, we will do everything in our power to teach a lesson to our future products!"

"0_0" Robin was left stupefied at this reply, this was his way to test the old man's true response, trying to figure out why Laurie told him to come and speak to this  guy, but yet again he was left disappointed

Robin really... really... wanted to punch this guy in the face as hard as he can, but he held himself, sighed, and then spoke..." Laurie was following the giants of a moving circus caravan, and I was one of the prisoners in that caravan...

and to allow me to escape She sacrificed herself and became a target for the giants' city guard, and for some reason, she made me swear to tell you everything she saw me do, and I'm the one who keeps my promises, I came today to tell you what she wanted, I don't know why, but I have to clear my conscience.

A fake look of astonishment appeared on Chief Orzon's face, after which he nodded gently and smiled as if he was waiting to hear the rest.

"...Sigh~ my first meeting with Laurie was in a forest when she found me in bad shape, then---" Robin started talking nonstop about everything that had happened since that day, and how she helped feed him and wash the blood and Fruit juice from his body, doesn't matter minor the detail is he didn't miss a thing

Of course, he said everything that happened from Laurie's perspective!

There are many things he started to leave behind as the story goes, such as his plans, the laws he studied and activated, and so on.. these were not part of his promise anyway.

As for Chief Orzon, he started interacting with Robin's story by nodding and smiling as if everything he heard did not concern him...

But his features changed when he heard about Robin sending the message to the demon.

The smile on his face wiped off, and his goofy, unfocused look turned into a serious one.

Even Robin noticed these changes and furrowed his eyebrow a little, but he continued non-stop and started telling the situation of trying to use fire to melt the metal bars to escape, then how the girls stopped him and promised to help him

Robin felt the old man's body twitch from the beginning of this part to the end, he even opened his mouth several times and seemed to want to say something except that every time he restrained himself when he saw Robin still talking as if he was afraid that his intervention would make Robin forget something from his story...

Indeed, Robin continued without stopping, with no apparent changes in him all along.

Even as he explains his plan to escape when he was about to die, and how Lauri uncuffed the demon and how it rushed out to fight the head of the caravan under his orders.

He kept his straight face from the start with no changes, by when his story reached the point where he blew up the girls to save them from a more terrible fate, that changed...

The words came out of his mouth with difficulty as if he could see the scene in front of his eyes, but he held himself long enough to complete it

He kept going until the moment he saw Laurie's severed head and he retreated into the darkness of the alley, and then said "Well, that is it, I don't know why Laurie made me promise to tell you about it as I know you don't care, I hope you can keep what you heard hear for yourself and don't say a word to anyone, I see you are a smart man who knows how to survive so I advise you to forget everything.

Will, I know I took much of your time for nothing, so thank you for being patient till the end... and for… listening?!?!"

Robin was about to stand up and gesture for Jabba to leave the tent to quickly get out of this place when he caught a strange sight...

He saw tears falling from the eyes of the settlement chief Orzon!!

The guy didn't even care when he told him the girl was killed horribly but suddenly he is crying now?!

Robin looked at Jabba at his side, perhaps understanding from his features why that old man was sobbing, but he found Jabba looking at the old man also with knotted eyebrows, obviously not understanding what is going on with him either.

But Jabba was more decisive, and stood up and spoke to Robin, " come on let's go, you have fulfilled what you came for, let the old man drown in his sorrows alone."

Robin nodded and took one last look at Orzon.. he didn't know what exactly made him cry, but that didn't matter to him anymore.

But when he straightened his seat and was about to stand up, he found a hand clutching his wrist, "Sir... are you A Heaven's Chosen?"

Robin looked at Orzon whose look of loss in his eye turned into a fierce one, "Let my hand go old man!! What the--"

"Please answer me!! For Laurie to send you here that means she didn't see tattoos on your body when she was bathing you, you have a way of using energy other than tattoos, don't you? and a way to speak with the demons?!

Laurie and the rest of the girls sacrificed their lives and sent you here to tell me that one truth, don't you want to make their death meaningful? Don't you want to fulfill your oath? You will do it only if you answer this one question!!" The head of the settlement tightened his hand more and began to insist

A look of intense shock began to appear on Robin's face, and the old man's behavior changed completely that was frightening, a few minutes ago he looked like an experienced pimp, yet now he is shouting and asking about Heaven's Chosen?!

but before he could answer himself, Jabba interjected, "He doesn't know whether he is a Heaven's Chosen or not, but as I see it he really is one... Will you let go of his hand now, human? We have other places to go."

"Hoo~" Orzon gave a long exhale when he heard this, and two seconds later he let go of Robin's wrist, stood up, and then took two steps toward Jabba, "Thank you for bringing Mr. Robin here, but I'm afraid you are not going anywhere after today."
