The room was quiet as a graveyard as everyone was waiting for a response. Furthermore, the response is from one person among them.
Susan could easily read the thoughts of the people as she raised her head slowly.
"I think we should allow them Genies but —"
Bang!
Just then, the ark shook vehently as it tried not to derail. Thus, everyone in the conference got on their feet and rushed out.
"What is that?" Justin asked through his radio.
"We're being attacked?"
"Attack?" Justin had already appeared at the exit of the train. "What or who attacks us?"
Justin didn't tell when he saw a young man with a broad sword beside the ark. He specifically told the n in the control room to reduce the speed of the ark until they made a decision.
'If the ark had been moving at full speed. It would have derailed.' He thought as his face devoured any emotion.
Outside.
William looked at the people inside the train with madness. He saw the fear on their faces and smirked. 'Since you decided not to save us, then we will both die together.'
Whissss
The Ark ca to a stop and everyone besides the window looked at the n with hatred. Previously, they had been clattering for their rescue but would have thought they would want their demise.
Isla and her n looked at the train finally stopping with a sigh of relief. She had co up with an idea to attack the train since the people would realize they ant business. If you don't save us we perish together.
Voila, it works.
'As always it is easy to play on human emotions.' She thought with a smug look.
"Let go, everyone. The train has stopped." She shouted as she killed the beast obstructing her path.
The door slide opened and Justin ca out of the ark. No one ca out of the train as they knew what they were waiting for. Nevertheless, the people knew things were going south.
Susan had a cold expressionless gaze as she looked at her so-called friend. No one could tell what was going on in her mind. Also, Kira stood beside her with a pensive gaze.
Things had already escalated beyond saving them or not. This is a matter of their lives.
Mack couldn't co to the main exit as he stood by the window with a conflicted expression on his face. He knew the chance of them coming on the train had gone into smoke. Yet, he wishes he had the power to change the situation. Although what they did was unforgiving, nevertheless, they're his friend and he could understand their situation.
"Who attacked just now?" Justin asked calmly.
Those who are familiar with Justin know things are about to go down. Blood is about to flow.
Seeing Justin, William knitted his brow for a mont as he tried to rember where he saw Justin.
"Now, I rember. You're that guy from the cafeteria." He said with an arrogant smile.
Bang!
William was still smiling when he found himself flying in the sky. All the air in his lungs was forced out and he could hear his bones breaking into pieces. He crashed and raised a cloud of dust. Thus, when the dust settled. Everyone looked at the wretched young man as blood continued to gush out of his mouth.
William forced himself to look at the cold expressionless Justin with trepidation. Also, the various thoughts running through his mind made his brain fuzzy.
How is this possible? He scread in his heart.
Furthermore, Isla and her n were only a couple of ters from Justin when they saw him attack. Imdiately, they halted on their track and looked at William with mouth ajar.
William was one of the strongest among them as a Second Circle Existence. Yet, a single wave from Justin sent him flying.
Inside the train, a satisfying smile appeared on the faces of the people as they nodded. As always, the tyrant king won't condone any nonsense. First first, reasoning later.
Mack tightened his fist as he watched his friend covered in blood. He had already expected sothing such as you can't predict Justin's action.
"Who attacked the train just now" Justin emphasized each word one after the order.
Listening to this, Isla and his n had bitter looks on their faces. A purple glow appeared deep in Isla's eyes but disappeared imdiately. The slight frown on her face disappeared and was replaced with an enchanting smile.
"We knew we were wrong for attacking the train but you can understand our plight as we are on the brink of death as our reasoning is a bit twisted. So please forgive us." She apologized with a regretful look.
Hearing this, everywhere was quiet for a mont. While the howling of beasts and the deadly frost descend on them.
'As always. No one escaped from her when she started speaking.' The n behind Isla thought. The slight fear in their mind was replaced with a confident smile.
Bang!
Ah!
Isla's brain was fuzzy as blood sprayed out her mouth. The sudden attack hit her like a bullet train. She crashed beside William with her face pallid. She panted, looking at Justin with fear.
This was not the young man they knew previously. But another person entirely.
Howl!
The beast rushed toward William and Isla as they were closer to them. Thus, the duo assists each other to their feet as they rush toward their group.
Now, fear gripped the heart of the people as they looked at Justin in trepidation. Unknown to them, their back was already drenched in a cold sweat.
"I won't ask once again?" Justin's voice echoed in their ear.
A hefty man with a large ax ca out of the group and looked at Justin in annoyance.
"Do you think we are…"
Bang!
He didn't finish his word when he found himself flying in the sky. Why is he so unreasonable? At least he should allow to finish my lines. He cried in his heart before out of his mouth.
When he crashed to the ground. A couple of his ribs were broken and his right arm twisted in her at an impossible angle.
Ah! Ah!
A dog beast arrived beside the hefty and bit his neck. Blood gushed out like an open dam as his veins twitched. The dog swallows the lump of flesh with relish before it pounces on its prey.
Afterward, Isla and the others realized how precarious their situation is. If they can't board the train. They are dood
There is a stubbornness about that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate .
"I'm the one that attacks," William said with determination. His mind was already telling him what was to co. But he stood straight.
Listening to this, Justin looked at them for a mont without uttering a word. The silence was like an invincible knife placed on their neck and they dare not breathe loudly, fearing their throat would be slit.
Although the beast was almost on them, no one dared to move. His presence, his look, and his action speak of authority. This is the Genesis King.
After what seems like forever, Justin finally speaks. "You wanted to join our ark but you made a grave mistake by attacking us. So, you need to bear the punishnt."
Those on the train held their breath as the hour of judgnt arrived. They weren't surprised by anything that happened outside since they all expected it. But the question is what would be their punishnt?
"This is my judgnt. One of you will bear the punishnt — death. While the others can join the train." Justin's calm voice echoed in the ear of everyone.
Imdiately, various expressions appeared on their faces. Those outsides had conflicted expressions. While those inside smile as they let out a sigh of relief. This was the best possible outco. They didn't even think of letting them go without being punished.
Since he dares to attack us, he must be ready to shoulder the burden. That was everyone's thought.
"Do you accept it or not?" Justin asked.
The group looked at each other not knowing what to say. Suddenly, a young man walked out of the group. It was Robert. The last of the Royals.
"We accept."
William and Isla had their mouths agape. They stared at him not expecting such action from him. As if noticing their gaze. Robert turned to them.
"What do you expect us to do?" He said with a calm voice.
"You've made many selfish decisions in the past couple of weeks that lead to our precarious situation. And yet, you expect us to bear your burden?" He looked at the two with a bittersweet smile.
He knew Isla was a master manipulator that wanted everything to go her way. And if not, she won't hesitate to destroy that thing or people. But now, they poke a hornet nest.
The deadly frost almost froze them while the dangerous beasts were behind them. Their only ticket to surviving is the train. What did she expect them to do?
"Good. You can enter while I will decide who would bear the punishnt. "
