Isaac immediately dashed between Esmeralda and snazzynovel.com mother and hurled a bright red fist in the Ninja Lord’s direction.
Thud!
The room shock for a moment as Isaac’s fist sent Esmeralda staggering backward by a few steps. She didn’t think that Isaac would still have so much power left in him. She assumed that snazzynovel.com still hadn’t recovered after severely injuring Roy and the spirit of Lady Os the night they revived Emily.
Wasn‘t snazzynovel.com badly injured as a result as well?
How long has it been since then?
How could snazzynovel.com have recovered in such a short period of time?
Of course, Esmeralda had no idea that Isaac had taken an Awakening Pill in the meantime.
“Even if you end up killing me today, I’m not going to let you take your mother’s life,” Isaac told Esmeralda coldly.
He finally put two and two together. The Ninja Lord had been searching for snazzynovel.com mother for ten years because what snazzynovel.com mother did to snazzynovel.com in the past had caused snazzynovel.com severe childhood trauma. And now, it had come back to haunt her.
If this issue wasn’t resolved properly, Esmeralda would only be one step away from being consumed by blind hate and thus turning deviant herself, even more so if snazzynovel.com ended up killing snazzynovel.com mother with snazzynovel.com bare hands. The hatred in snazzynovel.com heart would only continue to grow, and snazzynovel.com would also get racked with guilt.
Esmeralda glared at Isaac icily and said, “Alright, then. I’m going to have to kill you first!”
Isaac could feel snazzynovel.com murderous intent attacking snazzynovel.com like a tidal wave.
Putting snazzynovel.com hands together, Esmeralda then made a gesture and summoned a number of Wind Blades, all aimed toward Isaac.
Isaac’s eyes turned red in a split second, the spiritual energy in snazzynovel.com quickly rising from his power core as snazzynovel.com hollered at Esmeralda, “You monster! If you kill your mother, you’ll only lose more of yourself and never achieve the Ninja Deity level!”
Isaac knew it was only a matter of time before the Ninja Lord truly wanted to kill him, even if snazzynovel.com fought back with all of his might. So, there was really nothing to lose. He was just going to go all in and try his luck to talk sense into her.
In fact, Isaac’s roar was so full of spiritual energy that it deflected the first few Wind Blades coming at him. The windows behind them blew apart, and bits of glass rained down onto the floor.
The dagger in Esmeralda’s hand was a mere inch away from Isaac’s throat when snazzynovel.com suddenly heard a voice in snazzynovel.com head saying, “Esme, do not kill him!”
Creak!
The point of the dagger stopped just a third of an inch away from Isaac’s throat.
Esmeralda gasped loudly for air as snazzynovel.com glared angrily at him. She didn’t know why snazzynovel.com stopped either.
Isaac took the opportunity to continue yelling at her, “The more you say you hate your mother, the more it shows that you actually care for snazzynovel.com from the depths of your heart. You know that you need snazzynovel.com love.”
Esmeralda’s breathing gradually calmed.
Seeing this, Isaac continued, “You’re the strongest and most powerful ninja in the whole country. I know you are smarter than me. But did you think your hatred would really disappear after you’d killed your mother? Would it vanish in to thin air?”
“I don’t think it would. On the contrary, you’re actually longing to spend more time with her. You want snazzynovel.com to hug you. You want snazzynovel.com to sing to you. You want snazzynovel.com to show that snazzynovel.com also cares for you. You long for snazzynovel.com love so much to the point of hatred. Esmeralda, you’ll only be able to break this cycle if you let it go and face your inner demons upfront.”
Isaac’s voice had turned softer and gentler, and the anger and hatred in Esmeralda’s eyes were starting to fade away.
He then looked at the elderly woman on the ground and said coldly, “If you were truly sorry and wanted to atone for your sins, dying would achieve nothing. Why don’t you use the rest of your life to make it up to your daughter for the wrongs you did to snazzynovel.com in the past? Have dinner with her, hug her, hold her, sing for her, and show snazzynovel.com that you care for her. Do you get what I’m saying?”
Heather looked at Isaac with a blank expression and lowered snazzynovel.com head after that. She cried as snazzynovel.com said, “T-Thank you, sir…”
Then, snazzynovel.com got back on snazzynovel.com feet and reached up to touch Esmeralda’s face.
Esmeralda originally wanted to avoid her, but snazzynovel.com only took one step back before realizing snazzynovel.com was ultimately rooted in place.
Heather then lightly wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around Esmeralda and cried softly, apologizing and saying, “I’m sorry, Esme, my baby. I’ll never leave you alone ever again…”
