"What about their ship?and their body" Rick asked Jhon.
"We will burn them" Rob said. "I am agree for this" Jhon said " Take all the body to the ship"
"You're a bounty hunter, isn't it better to take them to the Marines and claim the reward?" Rick asked Jhon.
"We have no time for that,Also, there's no bounty claim center nearby." Jhon said. For bounty hunters to claim their rewards, they need to take the wanted individuals to specialized bounty claim centers or regular Marine centers. There, they can obtain a document confirming the delivery of the wanted person, which they can then use to collect the reward at a dedicated bounty claim center.
"This journey has one goal, and we can't afford to waste time on games or anything else." Rob said .
"It's okay to obtain gold pieces; they might be useful in the future. People won't offer you food just because you aim to free slaves and others." Rick said.
"I agree with you Rick, but not this time" jhon said,"Reaching the nearest bounty claim center will take at least a week, and the return journey will also require the same amount of time."
"In this part of the sea, the presence of the Marines is not very common." Rick said .
"Commercial journeys don't pass through here, and there are no significant cities nearby. Hence, the Marines won't assign major importance to this part." Jhon said.
"Come let's take the bodies to the ship,We need to continue the journey." Rob carried the three bodies and took them to another ship. Rick and Jhon did the same,they took all bodies and burned the ship. They stood, looking at the fire, contemplating as it consumed the ship and the bodies aboard.
"I always wonder about the fires of hell, are they like this fire or even more powerful?" Rob wondered.
"Is hell fundamentally existent?" Jhon wondered as well.
"It doesn't matter, But the idea of encountering emptiness after your death is a troubling thought." Rob said.
"But emptiness is at least better than hell; no place other than hell would welcome me and you." Jhon said with a smile.
"The idea that the villains won't face any punishment is the worst thought." Rob said.
"Religion indeed has a powerful impact, transforming a poor, weak, and miserable person into a happy one. It can make the weak endure their weakness, believing that the god will take their rights in the end." Jhon said laughing, as he drank the wine."I don't know how do you still believe in the god" .
Rob fell silent for a moment, reflecting on what had transpired. Rick and John had gone, while Rob continued to gaze at the fire.
Rob was born into a poor family living in the forest. He had an older brother and a younger sister. Despite their poverty, they lived happily as a family. Even if they went to sleep with empty stomachs, it didn't matter; what mattered was that they were together. His father worked as a woodcutter, while his mother took care of the livestock and household matters. Rob noticed that his father always shaved his head when he wanted to go to the city to sell firewood, but he didn't understand the reason behind it.
While they were living their happy, humble life, one day, armies approached the forest. This occurred immediately after the trial of the general Chilei who was considered the most powerful in the country at that time. He was from the Lucci family, and all hopes were pinned on him to mend the relationship between the state and the Lucci descendants. A hundred years ago, the Lucci clan used to control the power in cape Town,bringing about great injustice and tyranny. However, a revolution occurred, leading to the overthrow of the clan and the few who survived either lived their lives in hiding or endured a life of humiliation and degradation at the hands of those who assumed power.
After years, a young man from the Lucci clan managed to join the army. He quickly climbed the ranks, becoming famous for his strength and courage. Eventually, he reached the rank of general.
At that point, everyone began to feel optimistic, thinking they would live in happiness and peace in the kingdom. However, the shock came unexpectedly when it was announced that the general was planning a coup against the king. Later, his wife decided to inform the king before her husband executed his plan. However, the general killed her and also killed their children to ensure they wouldn't thwart his plan. In the end, his plan failed, and he was captured.
Afterward, it was announced that all remaining members of the Lucci clan would be executed. However, the king's advisor convinced him to spare the children and young women. Not out of kindness, but to create one of the greatest fighting arenas. Knowing that the Lucci descendants were skilled in combat, he would train the children to fight each other for the audience's entertainment. As for the women, they were kept for other purposes, some of them forced into a demeaning role as red-haired courtesans.
At that moment, Rob realized that his only mistake was being born with red hair and that his ancestors were cold-blooded killers. Therefore, he had no qualms about paying the price in their place.
The soldiers killed his parents in front of him, captured him along with his siblings, and bound, they were dragged for three days and nights. Many died during this ordeal, as the minister wanted only the strongest to be part of his spectacle.
They took his brother to another place, and the same with his sister. He remained with other young ones, all sharing the common trait of red hair, as the Lucci clan was distinguished by their red hair. He was trained alongside several other children to become skilled warriors, and indeed, Rob became one. He engaged in numerous battles and always emerged victorious, showing no mercy or compassion towards those who trained with him. He lost his emotions after witnessing his parents being killed in front of him, and when he saw his mother being violated in front of him.
It seems that Rob Lucci has experienced several horrific events in his life. What are the things he was forced to do, how did his personality and life change as a result, and how will he survive slavery
