Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 550 Idiot Of A Thief

At last, Lilly shook her head honestly. “I don’t know if you were right or wrong, and I don’t know why those people did so many bad things but still had the protection of the gods.”

“I’ll tell you if 1 get an answer.”

Jessie stared at Lilly for a long time, nodding at last. “Alright. I’ll wait for you, then. Tell me when you’ve found an answer!”

Lilly nodded, her hands clasped together. Yet one hand was chubby and pink, the other was thin and pale….

The sun was about to rise.

Blake looked at the ocean. “We should head back.”.

Lilly put all the ghosts back into the spirit jar, along with Jessie and her doll..

On the way home, Lilly cracked a yawn as she lay on Blake’s shoulder.

She wasn’t tired, however, staring blankly into space.

Blake asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Lilly asked, “Dad, did Jessie do the right thing?”

Blake fell silent for a while. “Jessie’s tragedy was rooted in the culture and traditions of her people. It was rooted in her mother, and those people whose hearts were not in the right place.”

“Stopping evil with evil… who’s to say if that’s right or not. Dad doesn’t have an answer to that for you, either.”

Judgment was not as simple as just right or wrong.

That was why the Ruler of Hell existed- to see if one had lived a life of good deeds or evil ones.

He was not the Ruler of Hell, and could not say if this was right or wrong.

Lilly lay on his shoulder, cracking another yawn.

Pablo floated next to them. “If you were to judge these acts separately, Jessie’s mother, and those people. were wrong. Jessie was wrong too, though.”

“Those people were wrong to be foolish, overly-superstitious.”

“Jessie was wrong to kill blindly. Out of the hundreds of people she set fire to, the real culprits could only have been just a few of them- but she killed everyone.”

Being able to kill hundreds of people as a child was probably a feat that few were capable of.

“But if you put them all together, everything happened for a reason, and karma took its course. Jessie and Mindy had been living a simple, peaceful life, but the drum-makers wreaked tragedy upon them and caused Jessie’s violence. Jessie might have killed those hundreds of people, but it would be more appropriate to say that it was her and those few people behind the drum that killed everyone.”

“After all, Jessie’s killing spree would never have happened if they had not committed an evil deed to begin

Of course, there was also the debate over the fact that Jessie would not have been able to kill all those people had she not had an aggressive nature.

It all depended on who was saying these things. Everyone had their own take on things. Those innocen people who died had their own Ma and Mindy, as well as their own fathers and brothers.
