People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 516 Sin and Hate

"Mr. Ibrahimovic, why are you here?"

At the corner of the corridor of the hotel where Rhodes Island was staying, the woman was obviously surprised to see Ibrahimovic standing alone and staring out the window.

Ibrahimovic gathered his thoughts and lowered his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I'm used to hiding in the corner and I scared you."

"No, on the contrary, I feel relieved when I see Mr. Ibrahimovic." The woman smiled and waved her hand, "You are the savior of me and my daughter. I don't know how to repay you. How could I be afraid of you?"

Ibrahimovic: "..."

He didn't look into the woman's eyes the whole time.

"Just stay in the hotel for the next few days. Once Rhodes Island has dealt with Gale Industries, you and your daughter can return to your normal lives safely."

After saying this, Ibrahimovic prepared to turn around and leave.

The woman didn't understand Ibrahimovic's estrangement from her. She stood there and said timidly:

“Mr. Ibrahimovic, my daughter has been talking about you these days and she wants to thank you in person.

After you saved my mother and me that night, she always said that you were a hero like Piran..."

"do not talk!"

Ibrahimovic suddenly growled.

In the empty corridor, Ibrahimovic's roar could be heard from far away.

The woman was frightened and turned pale, standing there at a loss.

Ibrahimovic had his back to the woman, his breathing a little erratic.

He himself couldn't explain what he felt at the moment.

When he heard the name Pirenne, he couldn't help but recall the tragic death of his predecessor, and the anger he felt was difficult to suppress.

Seeing the woman's grateful expression, he almost suffocated with guilt as the culprit who caused the miserable situation of the mother and daughter.

But more of it is regret.

If it weren't for him, the senior wouldn't have gotten into trouble, and the infected person named Piran wouldn't have died at his hands.

"Mr. Ibrahimovic...you seem to be somewhat...dissatisfied with Pirenne."

The woman's hesitant voice came again.

Ibrahimovic was so annoyed that he almost burst out of his cage. He had an impulse to turn around and cover the woman's mouth hard so that she would never be able to speak again in her life.

He didn't do that, and he couldn't do that. He could only lower his head and walk away quickly.

But the woman's voice behind me caught up with me:

"Yes, I can feel it. I don't know why, but actually... I am also very dissatisfied with him. No, I feel hatred towards him. I hate him!"

Ibrahimovic was stunned on the spot.

For the first time he turned to look at the woman's face.

That face was now covered with traces of tears, and the complex emotions in the eyes made Ibrahimovic feel that the struggle was no less intense than his own.

The woman was in tears and talking to herself:

"I don't understand, I really don't understand why Pirenne took part in those acts of rebellion.

Yes, our whole family is infected. Our life is difficult, but it is not unsustainable. People infected themselves have no future. I don’t understand why Pirenne keeps shouting about the future and hope all day long!

He just refused to look back at us, mother and daughter, and just left suddenly, leaving us behind!

He was a hero in the eyes of others, but he destroyed our home with his own hands!"

By the end of her speech, the woman was sobbing.

Ibrahimovic looked at the woman in front of him and scratched his hair anxiously.

"I'm already upset enough, could you please stop making things worse?" Ibrahimovic said angrily.

"I..." The woman cried even louder after being yelled at.

Ibrahimovic: "..."

At this moment, he actually had the urge to bang his head against the wall to find relief.

"Since you don't want Pirenne to do those things, why don't you stop him?" Ibrahimovic asked.

"How can I stop him?" the woman sobbed. "What he did was just. How can I hinder him?"

"Why is your personality so complicated?" Ibrahimovic was very angry.

"Although I don't know why, isn't Mr. Ibrahimovic also struggling with the same issue?"

"..."

The topic was completely killed by the woman for a moment.

Ibrahimovic's face turned red, but he couldn't utter a word.

After a while, Ibrahimovic said in a desperate tone:

“I am struggling because I have committed an unforgivable crime. Because of me, my predecessor died, a person was killed, and many innocent people fell into sorrow!

You are not wrong, Pirenne is not wrong, neither are you. It is obviously me who is wrong, and it is obviously me who should die!

If I were dead, none of this would happen!"

"If you die, who will save us mother and daughter?" the woman asked.

Ibrahimovic suddenly felt like laughing.

The woman had no idea that if he died, she and her daughter would not need anyone else to save them because Pirenne would still be alive.

The woman was totally unaware of this and continued to speak:

"Mr. Ibrahimovic, please stop saying these things and keep living.

I believe you will save more people in the future. I don’t know what you have been through, but I hope you will keep going…”

"I was the one who killed Pirenne."

Ibrahimovic suddenly interrupted the woman in a cold voice.

The woman's expression froze instantly.

Ibrahimovic continued to speak: "I am from the No-Helmets Alliance. I have killed many infected people, and even many non-infected people.

I never thought of saving you that day. I just wanted to take Furong and escape quickly. It was Furong and Qilin who saved you, but not me.

I am the culprit who caused you and your daughter to suffer."

The woman's eyes widened in disbelief and she stepped back, but her legs went weak and she almost fell. She had to hold on to the wall to keep herself steady.

Ibrahimovic said all the words that were accumulated in his heart, then raised his head and let out a long sigh.

Without even looking at the woman, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"…Why did you want to kill him?"

The woman's voice suddenly came again.

"He killed my predecessor!" Ibrahimovic turned around and shouted angrily.

The woman looked miserable, she leaned against the wall and slumped down on the ground.

Seeing this, Ibrahimovic showed no sympathy. He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace to leave.

But the woman's voice persisted and came again:

"I won't tell my daughter these things..."

Ibrahimovic paused.

"Mr. Ibrahimovic, that's it." The woman leaned her head against the wall, her voice weak, as if these words required all the strength of her body, "I hate Pirenne and I love him, but he is dead.

I don’t know what kind of person Mr. Ibrahimovic was before, but I can see that you are in pain now, and I am in pain too.

It is because you and I are in such pain that we should not let it be passed on and let my daughter never know the truth.

Please, please don’t tell anyone.”

"Don't you hate me?" Ibrahimovic couldn't believe it.

“I…” The woman struggled for a long time, but still couldn’t deny it, “I hate you.

But I don't want to continue this hatred. Piran is dead, and you have avenged your predecessor. Let this hatred end here. It should not continue to exist."

Ibrahimovic opened his mouth, stunned by the woman's words.

The corridor where the two of them were was quiet, and no one continued talking.

Until a soft sound of footsteps came from the other side of the corner.

Shining held his sword in his arms, glanced at the two silent Eevees in the corridor, and spoke softly:

"need any help?"

"No, thank you."

Ibrahimovic shook his head to refuse, struggling for a long time, but finally walked up to the woman, bent down and stretched out his hand.

The woman gritted her teeth, with red eyes, and took the initiative to reach out to accept Ibrahimovic's help.

The two reached a kind of understanding without words, towards each other and towards themselves.

Shining smiled and said to Ibrahimovic and the woman:

"Amiya just called me over and said that she has figured out a solution for Gale Industries and needs me to accompany her to a banquet tomorrow.

Once this matter is over, I believe you can return to your peaceful life."

Ibrahimovic took the initiative and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Shining shook his head, just glanced at the woman, and said to Ibrahimovic:

"You just have to take care of yourself and them."

"I try my best."
