Chapter 173: Confession
"... I am a traitor of the country."
As soon as those words were heard by the millions of the people in the federation, time seemed to stop at that moment as they could only look at the once hero confessing his own grave sins.
"It’s been almost a century that I’ve been fighting to protect our country. I’ve poured all my soul— myself to fight against the enemies that are endless. Truthfully, I was just an ordinary man but God pitied me and gave me the fate that anyone envies. Thus, as a gratitude, I serve the country and exchange the life I have to protect everyone as long as I can. I succeeded, didn’t I?" Sheng Xia’s lips formed into a nostalgic smile as he remembered the life he had to become stronger.
It was very fruitful and is something that he will always remember.
But right now, it will only stay as memories that only him will remember as a good memory.
"It was just unfortunate that I didn’t raise my children well. For this matter, I will acknowledge my mistakes in compromising them even with the outrageous request... such as assassinating the Marshal years ago which resulted in their late member Fu Minghao’s death."
Sheng Xia forced himself to steady his voice and clench his fist tightly. "It was my decision to do everything that happened that the Marshal posted. All the crimes pointed at me are true and it’s time for me to face this."
His eyes darted at the picture frame on the side of his table and saw the faces of his family. He stared at it for a few seconds before firmly looking at the camera again.
"However, I will also emphasize that my son and grandson or any member of our Sheng family does not mean they have not committed any crimes. As I surrender myself to the government, I will also reveal all the sins that we’ve committed to our country."
Sheng Xia forced himself to stand up from his seat even amidst his trembling body. Then in the next moment, Sheng Xia lowered his upper body to bow for as long as he could.
