Judas' Resolves!

(Peroni POV)

From the very start, I loathed the peasants, slaves, and non-noble-born humans. They were all the individuals who weren't blessed by almighty God.

Twenty years ago, they were all helpless, hopeless, and unmotivated. Only they cared about was to wait for their death to come. Everyone was selfish to share their food, egotistical for themselves, and troublemakers for the authority.

The houses were doom and the environment was unsafe to live in by us, the nobles. But still, they were satisfied with a simple home.

Their basic needs were poorly equipped with remarkable luxuries, and the God of fate didn't bless them with anything but their soul.

It's regrettable and distressful to look, but that's how the world worked.

But still, I disliked their pride and contentment, not because of their status as common folks.

In my opinion, the poor people were wiser than us in their own ways, and under normal circumstances, I truly envied how they worked hard than my fellow mates to sustain their daily needs.

A simple smile often greeted me whenever I encountered one of them.

Despite I treated them like shit, all of them endured hardship for their family.

I was still confused. Why were they happy to stay in this cycle of life? I still failed to understand their thick-headed mind.

As if the body was made of steel to support their resolves.

But not all of them were industrious. There were some of them fated to become criminals.

But everything had changed so much after Hadar came to power.

His selfless desire to help the poor was so high. He's enthusiastic to save the whole planet from the poor management and negligence of his predecessors.

He set aside his pride as a noble and looked for open opportunities to salvage what was left to their hearts.

It's been two decades since I met him, but I still failed to comprehend his view of the world.

All of us were unable to accept that a mere child surpassed us too much in terms of management, administrative ideas, executive order, and legislative knowledge in the government.

A little brat received the approval to lead us.

No one at his age had the ability to do this without the help of a certain advisor. To whom should I concern.

He had a trump card on his hands that I must unfold.

"Man, the world is changing. Damn it, brat. All of your laws are an illness we need to cure," I heaved a sigh.

"Prime Minister Flawkes, the car is ready," said the butler.

I turned my gaze at the commoner and gave a signal to lead me.

"Please allow me to escort you. This way please," the butler lowered his head as he said it. "Go for it," I placed my hand behind my waist and followed his back.

'This is my mansion. Why do you have to escort me, moron? Well, whatever.'

I entered the car and told the driver to the specific place we were heading to. It was the mansion of Lord Judas.

I received a call from my friend and he gladly invited me to join him in the assembly.

That's why I wore a black suit with a blue tie. There was a logo of the Hadar administration pinned on my left chest. I combed my hair properly to look cool in front of my people.

Inside the car, I observed the outside through the window. My car which from the Hadar Industry was a bullet-proof automobile. Two police cars were acting as my escort on the highway.

'Man, I feel safe,' I simpered.

But the silence was interrupted. A loud explosion from the front forcibly made our car halt.

"Milord, are you alright?" asked the driver, worryingly. "I'm alright. What's going on?" I inquired with a question.

"Sir, we're under attack. Our escorts have been destroyed by a rocket. There's even a roadblock ahead of us," the driver quivered. "An attempted assault? This is driving me nuts. Do something, driver!" I ordered.

I pulled out my gun on my chest and reloaded.

'This is bad. I can't believe someone will try to attack the prime minister of the Hadar administration. Who the fuck is it? Who's the penetrator?' I asked inside my mind.

"Driver, do your best. I will increase your salary double than before. Make haste!" I commanded. "Y, yes, milord!" he panicked followed.

The gear changed from one to reverse and he pushed the accelerator thereafter. Then, he rolled the handle to the left and the gear quickly changed to three.

'Who the fuck will do this? Hadar? No, I don't think so. There must be someone who has a strong resolves to do this,' I bit my finger as I analyzed the situation.

(Judas POV)

"Man, he's late," Lord Mauro folded his arms across his chest with a wrinkled face.

Lord Techno approached him and patted his shoulder once.

"You're right. This is the first time for our friend to be late for this meeting. I wonder why," he said, lips pursed.

"He should take this seriously. All of the congressmen are present, and he's the only one we're waiting for. Lord Judas won't be pleased to hear this. Pathetic," Lord Murgia condemned, holding a glass of wine in his hands.

"Hey, all of the attendees were the executives and legislative members of the government. I wonder what brought us here. I'm sure Lord Judas has a good reason to summon the important people in this world," Lord Mauro noticed, rubbing his jaw.

"Damn it, Flawkes. Why are you late for this important event? You're the only one who hasn't made an official appearance here. C'mon, man, you should be the role model for everyone in the congress, though," Lord Techno placed a hand on his forehead and heaved a disappointing sigh.

All the four congressmen shut their mouths upon hearing a loud bell.

"He's here, gentlemen. The event will start now," Lord Techno pointed out.

I entered the field of their sight with a gray suit.

Everyone gave me a round of applause as I walked into the center of their attention.

I sensed nothing but happiness towards my fellow countrymen.

"Greetings, my friends. How are you all today?" I asked, smiling. I raised up a glass of wine. "We're all happy!" they answered in unison.

"It's a wonderful day. Don't you think everyone?" I inquired. "Yes, Lord Judas," everyone responded with a delightful face. All of them raised their glass and cheered.

'Good, everyone is happy. Then, I'll make it short. I'm sure they will oblige to follow,' I simpered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the assembly. The assembly of the new world order of the nameless planet," I announced.

Everyone laughed as they thought I was joking at first.

"Oh, gentlemen. Please, this Lord Judas here ain't making a slight joke. I summoned you all here to enlighten everyone with my goal. It's to overthrow the current holder of the highest position in the government," I added with a sinister laugh.

All of the members of the administration gasped and looked surprised at my short phrase.

"Umm, what?" Lord Mauro's eyes turned blank.

"Gentlemen, please don't stare at me like that. It's making me feel isolated. You're only making me disappointed at least. But nevermind. All of you were wondering why was our fatty friend the Prime Minister Flawkes ain't here yet. Right? Oh, my friends. I'm sure he's in a good place today. May he rest in peace," I announced, menacingly.

All of the guests bewildered by my announcement.

"L, lord Judas, what do you mean?" Lord Techno blurted with a disoriented face. "As I said, our fatty friend is dead. And now, I'm happy to announce my promotion as the new Prime Minister of the world," I spread my arms as I declared.

"You fuckin' fool!" chastised Lord Richardo, the Court Justice of the Supreme Court and the holder of the highest position in the judicial government. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at my position.

"L, lord Richardo!" Lord Mauro tried to stop him, but his body couldn't move after he noticed a laser pointed at his heart.

I flicked a finger and all of my men surrounded the guests. They took a proper position and pointed their guns at their specified targets.

All of the noble guests were surprised and their arms raised up with cold sweat.

"What's the meaning of this, Deputy Minister?" Lord Mauro bickered with cold sweat.

The guests raised a loud voice in panic. Some of them dropped on the floor and put their hands on their head.

"Gentlemen, please don't misunderstand my intention. I don't mean any harm. All I ever wanted is your cooperation for my plan," I explained briefly.

"H, huh?" Lord Murgia's eyes turned blank, lips retracted.

"I, is this a prank, Lord Judas?" Lord Techno fretted.

"Lord Judas, why are you doing this? Are you planning to make us a hostage?" Lord Mauro queried to enlighten them.

"Geez, people. Stop asking too many questions. First of all, I don't have any intention to take all of you as my hostage. Believe it or not, I invited you all here to join my faction."

The other guests nervously shrilled.

"Lord Judas, I don't know what are you aiming for, but let me get your honest answer. What did you do to Prime Minister Flawkes?" Lord Mauro inquired anxiously. "I placed a bounty on his head and let the bounty hunters assassinate him. That's all," I answered directly to the point.

"H, huh. I thought you're his friend. Why do you have to do this?" Lord Murgia complained. "Because he's an eyesore and useless politician among us. Can you see here people? He holds the title of the Prime Minister, the second position after the current ruler of this planet. He's the one who should take the lead for the betterment of this world, but what did even do? Nothing. Nothing has changed ever since he took the power. All of us are, including my collaborators, have always overshadowed by the great accomplishment of Lord Hadar. But our voice was never been heard by him. All I ever wanted here is to correct the wrong," I abruptly explained.

"But why do you seek his life?" asked Lord Richardo, calmly. "Because I want the position of the Prime Minister. I want to liberate our people from the tyranny of Hadar. That brat always makes fun of the law. And he even never asked for our opinion regardless of the consequences of his action. All of his actions hurt us all and his atrocities often ruined our government like a plaything!" I answered, gravely.

"W, watch your tone, Lord Judas. That's kind of rude for you to say that," Lord Richardo warned. "I don't care. But at least, there is still room for opportunity. Listen carefully, once Flawkes the fatty bastard died, I will get appointed as the new Prime Minister. Look at the advantage of joining my faction, I can offer you all of the things he failed to give. Money, power, and even influence," I simpered.

"Lord Judas, this kind of method is a sign of treason. You're making a big mistake," Lord Mauro pointed out with a sharp gaze.

"Treason or not, it will end later on. Hadar won't even dare to enter into this conflict, though," I took a sip on my glass and made a short response.

"W, what do you mean?" Lord Murgia worried. "Oh, my old friend. I have my own method to use as an excuse. That's why you all here. You're the key who will help me to convince him that our fatty ugly bastard, the prime minister, is a sinister man who is planning to overthrow him. But, all of his plans have been intercepted by Lord Judas. That's why I will create a fake story about my heroic deed to save his ass from coup de tat," I said, smiling.

"Do you truly think that we will even follow suit? You're out of your goddamn mind, Lord Judas," Lord Techno grimaced, clenching his fist tightly. "Oh, I'm still sane, Lord Techno," I chuckled.

"Lord Judas, you psycho. How the mighty have fallen," Lord Mauro muttered aside as he sympathized with my condition.

Looking at their eyes, I sensed their disturbing comments and disappointment about me. But I didn't care.

I raised up two fingers on my hand.

"Gentlemen, I will give two options. Die or join me. You're choice," I declared with a dark face.
