The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 803 We're Different

Mr. Josington paused briefly before handing the gun to Rhett with both hands.

Eithan, wide-eyed with disbelief, quickly spoke up. "Grandpa, Kieran has already suffered. Please, show him mercy, just this once."

Kimberly, equally anxious, grabbed Rhett's arm. 'Grandpa, if you can't forgive him, at least lock him up for life. Or...

Rhett gently pulled away their hands from his arm.

"Eithan, Kimberly, I've already told you," he said firmly In life, death isn't the worst outcome. If you're truly human, you must face both life and death without fear.

"When it's time to take responsibility, being afraid of death makes you less than an animal.

"If you fail to show respect and commit an unforgivable crime, then your life must be the price.

"I swore, the day I followed Dragon Lord into battle, that the Shaws would rather die than live as cowards, afraid to face the consequences of their actions.

"Kieran has crossed a line. He must pay with his life.

"His father has failed him, and he must be imprisoned for life.

"I, too, will take responsibility for this.

"You all need to pay attention. Remember this moment of pain. Carry it with you.

To be human is to stand tall, to bear your responsibilities. If you can't do that, then you aren't truly

numan.

Ryder's lips twitched slightly, but he remained silent.

Burt, realizing the seriousness of the situation, begged. Dad, please. Spare Kieran. I promise I'll make sure he's taught properly from now on."

Rhett snorted. "There's no such thing as changing for the better. That's just something people tell the weak to keep them quict.

"You can't afford to make mistakes. When you do, you pay for them.

"Kieran is where he is because of you. I failed as a father and that's my greatest regret. It's my responsibility.

"You can't promise anything about the past or the present, so why bother with the future? People who say that are just looking for excuses, trying to avoid the responsibility they should be facing right now." Burt's panic grew. He knew his father's stubbornness too well.

Once Rhett made up his mind, there was no changing it
