Chapter 112 Public Trial
"Master, There is sothing I need to tell you. Last midnight I visited Joseph in his cell to make him open his storage ring. Though it took so effort, I still got him to lift his soul mark off the ring. But other than that I got so information out of Joseph about his Master and their interest in this island. He told that they were seeking so kind of ruins on this island and helping Cole Jordan was just a diversion for so people in the subcontinent. I found a map inside the ring which depicts that there is really so kind of manmade structure deep in the Swamp Marsh Forest on this Island."
"Joseph arrived here early to check those ruins out and his Master that is Elder Rey will also co here shortly after he finishes his work there on the subcontinent," Alex revealed.
Master Clayton was shocked as he listened to Alex but then he rembered forgetting to ask Joseph why he ca here and killed him in anger after he got the na of those other culprits. Alex then took out the map from his inventory and showed it to everyone in the room.
"The location of these ruins is on the far east of this island. That’s a very dangerous place as no one has been able to reach there." Master Clayton said after he scanned the old map. He was not really familiar with these kinds of things so he returned it back to Alex. One thing that was clear was that these ruins should be of so worth since a character like Elder Rey wants to get hold of it without letting others know about it. It’s worth their ti to check this place out.
Anyway, Alex continued "Master, no matter what, Elder Rey will definitely co here after he does not get any response from his disciple for a long ti to check what has happened to him or for those ruins. It is evident that he will definitely co here though it will take him so months or maybe even a year. Master, it’s a very good chance for you to clear all the past grievances with him hear on this island. But before that, we all need to strengthen ourselves greatly to face him or any other outside forces that co in the future.."
Master Clayton nodded his head. This ti he didn’t want to run away from his enemies.
"Master, were there any pirates around active around the Novaria Kingdom twenty years ago that goes by the na of Desert Wing Pirates." Alex suddenly asked a question.
"Desert wing...pirates? No, there was no such group of pirates by this na as I rember. Why do you ask?" Master Clayton didn’t rember any pirate group by that na.
"Well, you rember when I once told you that my n defeated so pirate group on an uninhabited island sowhere in the south. From whom I got those spirit stones. The na of that pirate group was desert wing pirates and their group actually originated from the sea around the Novaria kingdom. The pirates were once normal citizens of that kingdom or had lived around that place so, under the supervision of my n, they are building a town to start their life anew on the Greenedge island." Alex then told Master Clayton about Greenedge Island and his plan to develop it with the new residents.
He then also told his Master about the civil war happening inside the Novaria kingdom right now.
After talking about it for so ti, they ended the eting because it was ti to hold the public trail in City Square for the defeated Nobles past cris towards the citizen of this city. The people had already gathered at the place in the morning. The puppet/guards had been busy taking down and writing all the complaints by the people against the Nobles. A few temporary sheds were erected in every corner of the City square and in the guards were sitting to write all the complaints. Many people took part in that.
At the ti around noon, the city square was again jampacked by the citizens of this city. As it was ti for the public execution of the criminals.
Darren Dorbank, Darien Dorbank, Captain Aiden, Master Alchemist Hun, Cole Jordan, and all the rchants that sided with any of the two sides like the master of Twin Lion Chamber of Comrce and Purple Tulip rchant group, etc. Arnet and Lam were excluded because Alex still had so use of them. Also, Butler Jon or the previous head of the Pearl village was going to delt in the Pearl village itself in front of the villagers so he was also excluded.
On a stage, each prisoner was taken up after their nas were called by a guard. Then another guard standing there would read out from a list about the cris that prisoners have committed in front of the whole crowd.
All the cris were reported to the guard before by the people but even Alex was not sure whether all those cris were actually true or not.
Anyway, Alex organized this trial so that so people who hated these nobles could blow off so steam.
First, the lesser characters were made to go up on the stage.
When it was the turn of Mason’s father and the head of the other big rchant groups, many people ca forward and threw stones and mud on them.
A woman holding a three year old son cried in front of the crowd "My husband died because of these scumbags. They destroyed my family’s only shop when we didn’t comply to sell our goods at a high price like them..."
Many people like her ca forward to pelt stones at the heads of the rchant groups for the various cris they had committed for profit and their own interest. They had squashed many people’s livelihoods using force, and underhanded ans.
Alex had thought of beheading the offenders but since the people were stone pelting them then so he rather let them die the barbaric way for at least today.
He then told his puppets to out and gather more stones and distribute it to the people.
The eye’s of Mason’s father and other people like him were trembling with fear.
Though the sight was not pretty still many people ca forward and kept throwing stones at them until the culprits died and didn’t move for so ti. The puppets then ca in and cleared the stage of the brutally disfigured and bloodied corpses.
Then it ca the turn of Master Alchemist Hun, Captain Aiden and other high standing people who are very loyal to their respective houses. Alex thought that a person like Master Alchemist Hun would have been a little respected by the people but how so wrong he was.
It seems that many people’s relatives died because of pill poisoning after Master Alchemist Hun tested his half baked products on them. Also, many cases against him reported by so families to guards that he actually raped little girls at the age of 9 or even smaller than that. It was not known o many people other than the Nobles.
Others had cases like extorting people using their position, etc. They were also stoned to death.
Then ca the infamous Young Master Darian Dorbank who was hated by almost everyone. Gareth Jordan would also have been here if he did not die on that day at the hands of his own father.
For Darien, Alex had to make different arrangents. It was because many people had lifted their hands to throws stones at him and this would have killed him in a few seconds. That’s why he ordered guards to take Darien aside and tie him to a wooden pole.
People were told to make a line and co one by one to throw stones in their hands. Each was given two stones in their hands. Interestingly, no one targeted Darien’s head but they instead aid for the thing between his legs.
This went on for fifteen minutes until a teenage boy around 18 or 19 years of age threw a stone like a bowler in a baseball towards Darien.
The stone hit right on its target that is the already beaten and bruised balls of Darien’s. With a huge shriek, Darien cried out load but no one took rcy to his situation.
Darren looked at his son’s situation as he was brought up the stage with Cole Jordan just behind him. With bloodshot eyes, Darren turned his head and stared at Alex’s group with great resentnt.
Alex didn’t shift his eyes away but walked up to the stage and stood in between Darren and Cole. The public in the city square slowly stopped talking as they turned their attention to the young Lord.
Darien had stopped moving as he already succumbed to his injuries by then due to the stones thrown at him.
Alex faced the crowd after he was handed two machetes from the guards near him holding one in each hand. Cole and Darren were forced to kneel and their heads were placed on the wooden U-shaped stand on the platform.
None of the two could resist or utter any single word because their mouth was blocked by pieces of clothes.
The Machetes were raised high in the air right atop the heads of the two Nobles who ruled this city for many years.
Alex swung the weapons in his hand down hard.
Swoosh!!
...Thud!!
