Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 78 Hysteria
The village of Skar is no longer an ordinary village. It has military barracks, churches, prisons, prisoner-of-war camps, and various workshops.

In the past few months, not only have they been digging water conservancy projects, but they have also been taking advantage of the surplus manpower during the slack season in the surrounding areas and hiring them to rebuild the Skar Village.

Through the joint efforts of hundreds of people, the originally inconspicuous village has become the surrounding government center and the headquarters of the religious order.

Prisons naturally have a unique position among many buildings. Even though the prison in Skar Village is quite small, it is also a symbol of public power, which means that this land is not a paradise for lawless criminals.

And since it is a prison, Garys naturally also considered the need for visiting prisoners.

Now in this small reception room, Ahmed's family is reunited.

However, in Garys' opinion, the atmosphere in the reception room was a little strange.

If she was originally just Ahmed's wife, she was somewhat uncomfortable with Ahmed's true feelings and felt embarrassed.

So it was quite interesting that when Ahmed's eldest son Nabil walked in, he wanted to turn around and leave.

Unlike Ahmed, his eldest son Nabil has not been a peaceful guy in the past few days. It was only because he was severely beaten in the past two days that he was able to remain calm and come to the reception room with a bruised face.

Then, he, who had calmed down after eating enough fists the size of cabbages, was a little confused when he saw the intimacy between Ahmed and Yasmine.

However, as he was about to leave the room, Ahmed noticed his eldest son. Now that a dying man is about to speak kindly, he wanted to say a few words to his eldest son.

"Nabil, don't go. Let's talk for a few last minutes."

Hearing this, Nabil, with bloodshot eyes, stopped, but the look he gave Ahmed had turned into a madness that was almost ready to devour anyone.

"What else is there to talk about?"

"In our lifetime, we did not practice good deeds, recited the scriptures, but abandoned the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Death is only a moment of terror, but when the Day of Judgment comes, what will happen when we are resurrected from the grave? The deepest hell is already beckoning us. Can you and I truly repent sincerely?"

Ahmed showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. He didn't know how to respond to Nabil's words. When he had power and wealth in his hands, he never thought about his fate after death.

I just feel that there is still a chance to make amends, using money, good deeds in old age, and the praise of others...

But now, there is no chance to make amends, they shall die today.

[Some of them make a covenant with Allah: “If Allah grants us a favor, we will certainly give it away and we will be among the righteous.”]

[When He bestowed upon them some of His bounties, they were stingy and turned aside from the right path.]

— Quran 9:75-76
Listening to the words of Ahmed's eldest son, Gairis fell into thought. Whether it is Christianity or Islam, both attach importance to confession, but confession is called "expiation" in Islam.

In religion, confession or exculpation means asking God for forgiveness and is a way to seek ascension to heaven.

But Gaillis was clear about one thing. From a purely doctrinal point of view, it was meaningless to confess or repent sincerely. Those who refused to change after repeated admonitions would not have a good outcome. The end of those who deceived themselves would still be hell.

This was the reason for Nabil's madness. He was clearly aware that any excuse he made now was just self-deception and his words were not sincere.

He was simply incapable of feeling such incomparable grief, and even towards Allah he could not humbly, lowly, and feel ashamed.

What could he regret? Was it his own sins? At most, he regretted his father, who couldn't even deal with a group of rebellious peasants. And even disobeying his father was forbidden in Islamic morality...

Gairis smacked his lips and finally said, "Praise your Lord, who is above all things, and ask for His forgiveness; He is indeed the Forgiving One."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gailis noticed that there was something wrong with the way Nabil looked at Yasmine. Then he recalled the scene at that time in his mind. Then Gailis's face twisted and he took two steps to the side.

He doesn't want to get involved in this family's affairs.
Nabil responded to Gairis's words with just a few words: "It doesn't matter."

"Don't be like this, my child..." Ahmed wanted to persuade him. He felt that his child might be a little extreme and was now sliding towards the point of "unforgivable sin".

"I don't care anymore..." Nabil repeated this sentence in a slightly low voice, as if he had made up his mind.

He came to the young woman, Yasmine, and gave her a hug while Ahmed was a little dazed and puzzled.

And Yasmine didn’t say no.

Then Nabil placed his hand on Yasmine's abdomen and said in a complicated tone: "Yasmine, take our child and live well. I was sorry for you in the past."

After hearing this, Ahmed was somewhat stunned...

After hearing what Nabil said, both he and Garys noticed that the young woman's belly was a little bulging, but it was not obvious yet.

Garys took two deep breaths and subconsciously clenched his fists. He was fed up with this family ethics drama.

However, just when Ahmed was about to react and burst into hysterics, the door of the reception room was pushed open again, and a soldier shouted into the reception room: "Time's up!"

Then the soldier, after entering the reception room, performed a spontaneous courtesy towards Garys, and without paying any attention to the atmosphere in the field, he took Nabil away regardless.

Then another soldier came in and forcibly took Ahmed away.

From then on, the last reunion of Ahmed's family ended.

Now, Ahmed and his eldest son, who have committed many evil deeds, will inevitably be brought to justice, leaving only his widow and two children to live in the new era.

However, when Ahmed and his eldest son were escorted out, even though his hands were tied, he could not help but loudly question Nabil beside him: "What's wrong with Yasmine's stomach?"

However, Nabil responded with a long burst of crazy laughter.

After being hit twice by the escorting soldiers, his laughter was forced to stop. He turned around and said, "I said it, I will definitely fall into the hell because I have committed a great sin that Allah does not allow."

"As for you? Do you really think those two bastards are your sons?!"

"How on earth do they look like a scumbag like you? God knows who their wild father is!"

　First update, wrapping up a foreshadowing from before... I'm not sure if readers will accept this kind of story, but anyway, wrap it up...
