Druid in the Marvel Universe Chapter 68: The Dominant Old Parker

Colleen painfully pulled herself off the stone round table, her shoulder bleeding, and pushed away Danny, who tried to help her. She staggered to Alvin and pleaded, "Kill me! I really deserve to die, kill me!"

Alvin looked at Colleen with amusement, a cruel smile on his face, and said, "Don't beg me, really! You will definitely die, so why are you begging me to kill you?

Do you want me to sympathize with you?

If you truly feel remorseful and believe you've committed an unforgivable mistake, why don't you end it yourself?

Why do you want me to kill you?

Do you think I'll go soft on you? Do you feel wronged? Do you think that by having me kill you, you can atone for your sins?"

Alvin turned the gun in his hand and handed it to Colleen, indicating, "Now you have the chance to prove whether you're a good person or a bad one! I'm a fair person! You will definitely die, but for Matt's sake, you have a choice!"

The weak Colleen gave a desolate smile, a bit hopeless, and took the gun from Alvin. She was about to raise the gun to her head with her left hand.

"No~" Danny, standing nearby, suddenly rushed over, snatched the gun from Colleen's hand, and held her in his arms.

Danny's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Alvin, but he didn't know what to say. He wanted to defend Colleen, but his clumsy words couldn't even convince himself.

As he tightly held Colleen, a dazzling silver light began to spread, enveloping the two of them. It seemed that the silver light was nourishing Colleen, and her condition improved significantly.

Alvin said nothing, watching Colleen in Danny's arms. He was waiting for Colleen to prove herself, which would make him hate Matt a little less.

Matt, who had been stunned by Alvin's words, snapped out of it. For a moment, he even questioned his own life principles.

Was everything he did really for Hell's Kitchen, or was it to prove himself?

But Matt was a determined person. He believed he was right, that Colleen was a good person and his friend, and he couldn't watch her die.

Matt spoke again, trying to persuade, "Alvin, maybe you're right. But Colleen doesn't deserve to die.

She wanted to help those kids, to give them a chance to survive.

She just used the wrong method.

Danny and I only recently found out about her situation. We didn't have time to stop her, and we didn't dare tell her because we were afraid she'd break down!

She's already dead now!

Alvin, look at her! She's already dead!

She's a good girl; she shouldn't be treated like this.

The ones who truly deserve to die are The Hand and Bakuto!

Alvin, please, let her live!

Give her a chance to atone for herself!"

Colleen leaned against Danny, her face showing a look of utter despair, her mouth moving as if saying something to Danny.

They couldn't hear what Matt was saying anymore; they looked like a couple saying their final goodbyes. The scene was quite tear-jerking.

But Alvin didn't care at all. People must pay for what they've done. You can't be forgiven just because you say you didn't know. That would be truly unfair to those kids.

Maybe a judge would find you not guilty, but this is Hell's Kitchen.

Just as Colleen and Danny were saying their final goodbyes, Old Parker burst in with two kids.

Old Parker hurried to Alvin's side, looking a bit anxious. He glanced at the scene and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Alvin looked at Old Parker and said, "Old man Parker, why are you here? I thought you'd be at the school taking care of the kids who went back."

Old Parker caught his breath, glanced at the two kids who came with him, and said, "Charlie and Jimmy begged me to bring them here. They're afraid you'll kill that woman named Colleen."

Alvin laughed, "Yes, I was just about to do that."

Old Parker hesitated and said, "I don't know how to say this, but Alvin, I don't think you should kill her."

Alvin's face turned cold, "Why? Old man Parker, you also want to stop me from killing this woman? Do you know what she's done?"

Old Parker glanced at the two kids who came with him and, with some difficulty, said, "I've only been at the school for two months, Principal Alvin. I don't know much about Hell's Kitchen.

These two kids told me their story.

They've been roaming the streets of Hell's Kitchen since they were little.

Their parents never cared about them.

They didn't even have a bed of their own.

It was Colleen Wing who gave them food when they were hungry and taught them how to protect themselves when they were beaten.

They are grateful to her!"

As Old Parker spoke, the two kids kept nodding, confirming his words. They didn't dare speak, only looking at Alvin with pleading eyes.

Alvin looked at the kind old man with amusement and said, "So, old man Parker, you also think she shouldn't die? You think I'm wrong?"

Surprisingly, Old Parker gave Colleen a look of extreme disgust and said, "On the contrary, I think she deserves to die. She's so foolish that living would only harm more kids. The kids in Hell's Kitchen have no resistance to familial warmth. A person doing bad things with good intentions is terrifying because they don't even know they're wrong!"

Alvin nodded in agreement, finding Old Parker's words very reasonable. He hadn't thought of it that way. Alvin simply believed that if you sent my kids to be killers, you deserved to die, regardless of whether you understood the facts.

Old Parker spat at Colleen, who was lying in Danny's arms, and said to Alvin, "But Alvin, you can't kill her. You're the principal of the community school; you'll be a role model for these kids.

If you kill this woman, what will these two kids and the others who were sent back think?

They can still be saved, Principal Alvin. You have to give them a chance. Isn't the purpose of this community school to give these kids a chance to choose to be good people?"

Alvin looked at Old Parker, then at the two kids who were misled by warmth and familial affection into committing crimes.

Alvin felt a bit frustrated. Too many twists and turns had happened today. He asked in distress, "Old man Parker, what should I do? Just let her go? I can't accept that result!"

Old Parker, hearing Alvin's words, got so angry that his eyebrows stood up, and he shouted, "Let her go? Are you kidding?

Principal Alvin, take her back to the school, heal her, and keep an eye on her.

Make her atone! Make her find every single kid she sent to do bad things, not one less. Those kids might still be saved.

Repentance is useless. She has to find a way to make up for her mistakes. This fool doesn't deserve sympathy.

Until she finds all the kids,

she can't even think about dying!"

Old Parker spoke with such authority that it seemed like he was the principal of the school.
