Chapter 27 : Public Execution ( 3 )

The crowd slowly made their way towards the direction of the bell, eventually gathering in front of a huge platform. This platform was where Nexus came to when the Nobles were punishing two commoners.

As time passed, people from all directions gathered around the platform. Some were instructed to gather here by Nexus men, while others came to witness who had offended the Nobles this time.

As the people gathered around the platform, puzzled looks adorned their pale and numb faces.

They did not see any commoners who were to be punished, but instead figures wearing black armor exuding bloodthirsty auras guarding the platform.

In the middle of the platform, there were bloodied and pale individuals kneeling on the ground.

Their clothes were tattered, and they appeared to be in a state of distress. Men, women, and children of all ages knelt on the platform, numbering up to hundreds. The five individuals in front seemed to be the most miserable among them.

Their once luxurious clothes were now in shambles, their hair unkempt, and their aura weak. They appeared as if they had been pulled from a pool of blood.

The scene was somber and tense as the crowd observed the unfortunate individuals on the platform.

As time passed, the platform became increasingly crowded with thousands of people, the majority of whom were citizens of the Purple Thorn Kingdom.

The sight of so many people kneeling on the platform in such circumstances left the onlookers puzzled. Whispers and murmurs could be heard throughout the crowd, as confusion was evident on their faces.

Suddenly, a man emerged onto the platform, prompting the black armored guards surrounding the area to bow in admiration and respect.

This unexpected display caught the crowd off guard, as they were unsure of the identity of these mysterious figures in black armor, as well as the people kneeling on the ground with faint and weak auras.

All eyes were fixed on the mysterious man who had just arrived. He possessed a strikingly handsome face, long red hair that cascaded down to his waist, and captivating red eyes with intricate silver runes swirling within them. The crowd had never encountered such a charismatic figure before.

This man is naturally Nexus. Since last night he had the entire city under control, locking it down and not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

He also captured all the Nobles in the city, as well as the guests who attended the banquet yesterday. He has different plans for them.

As for the Nobles, he is currently planning a public execution to let all the people in the city witness the fate of those who have made their lives a living hell.

Nexus gazed out at the sea of people surrounding the platform, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. In a booming voice, he addressed the citizens of Purple Thorn Kingdom.

"Dear citizens of Purple Thorn Kingdom my name is Nexus Astaseul and I know you must be confused and wondering why all of this is happening.

Why are so many people kneeling on this platform in such conditions?

In the past, you may have expected that someone had offended the Nobles and was about to be executed. But that's not the case today."

Nexus paused for a moment before continuing, "From now on, you won't be brought to this platform to be used as a scapegoat. You won't have to live in fear and trepidation. You won't go hungry or worry about being killed for the smallest offense. Your lives are now in your own hands. You are free from the suppression and oppression of the Nobles."

With a calm and authoritative voice, Nexus shouted, capturing the attention of the confused crowd. They didn't understand what he was talking about, but they could feel something stirring within them.

Nexus looked at them with determination and said, "You may be wondering what I'm talking about. Let me show you something." He turned to the kneeling people and instructed the guards to raise their heads.

As the guards lifted the heads of the kneeling citizens, revealing their pale faces filled with fear, the crowd's emotions began to simmer.

" Do you recognize these faces? You've probably had nightmares about them, waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Well, these people kneeling before you are the Nobles who have been tormenting you for the past two decades. They're the ones who have made your life feel like a living hell ".Nexus paused, a smile playing on his lips.

The crowd erupted into chaos, emotions finally showing on their previously lifeless faces. Shock and recognition filled their widened eyes as they saw the Nobles kneeling before them.

It was a sight that left them speechless, seeing the once powerful and arrogant Nobles brought down to their knees.

Nexus nodded, taking in the shocked expressions of the crowd.

Nexus looked at the crowd with a painful expression on his face and continued,"I understand the pain and suffering that all of you have endured. However, I want to assure you that you were never alone. For years, my men and I have been quietly building our strength in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to take action. Last night, that moment arrived. We engaged in a fierce battle against the Nobles and emerged victorious.The individuals kneeling before you are the very Nobles who have caused so much torment and misery in your lives. They have turned our once prosperous Kingdom into a living hell for all of us. These five individuals at the forefront are the Heads of the Five Noble Families, and they bear the responsibility for the suffering and pain that has plagued us for the past two decades ".

It is time for us to rise up and reclaim our freedom from the tyranny of these individuals. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and our Kingdom. Let us stand united and move forward towards a better tomorrow.

The crowd erupted into uproar once more as they gazed upon the so-called Nobles kneeling on the platform, their eyes filled with seething hatred.The crowd's indifferent and pale faces were filled with hatred, their lifeless eyes turning with anger. The overwhelming resentment within them was palpable.

Over the past two decades, the hardships endured by these individuals have been overwhelming.

They have witnessed the tragic loss of their loved ones, endured dehumanizing treatment, and suffered the consequences of the actions of the so-called Nobles. Thousands of lives are lost daily due to the greed and cruelty of these individuals, forcing many into a life of slavery.

Basic necessities such as food have become a luxury, leading some to starvation. The pain and suffering experienced by these mortals is simply unbearable, all as a result of the insatiable greed of the Nobles.

Nexus observed the anger and resentment etched on the faces of the crowd, feeling a deep sense of sorrow and empathy for their plight. He could empathize with their emotions and understand the pain they had endured.

Nexus's gaze turned cold, he addressed the crowd again, " I can see that you're at these people and you have all the right in the world to be angry. I can understand the pain and suffering you have gone through " Nexus paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in.

With a cold smirk, he turned his attention to the Family Heads, "That is why I am offering all of you an opportunity to come to this platform and treat the Nobles however you like. You have the chance to beat them, to crush them, and to release the anger and resentment that has built up in your hearts over the years ".

The crowd surrounding the platform were taken aback, their expressions of anger and resentment disappearing and being replaced by shock. Their eyes widened and their mouths fell open in astonishment.

The nobles knelt on the ground, their heads raised in terror as they listened to Nexus speak. The Five Noble Family Heads, in particular, were visibly shaken with anger, though fear seemed to be the dominant emotion.

Slowly, they turned their heads towards the crowd below, who watched them with eager anticipation. Some in the crowd had a crazed look in their eyes as they licked their dry, cracked lips, giving off a bloodthirsty vibe.

"Are you seriously going to let us do whatever we want with the Nobles? Won't they try to get back at us?" asked an elderly man with one leg, using a crutch for support.

Nexus glanced at the old man and reassured him, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of them. They've lost their Cultivation base, so feel free to do as you please." With that, Nexus leaped off the platform, leaving the Nobles kneeling in shock.

The crowd around the platform seemed unsure as they gazed at Nobles, fear still evident in their eyes.

Nexus observed this and shook his head, realizing that years of oppression by the Nobles had left a lasting impact on the people. Despite their desire to brutally beat the arrogant Nobles, fear still lingered in their hearts.

After a few moments, a young man with a pale face, as thin as a twig and looking like a strong wind could blow him away the next moment, stepped forward. He slowly made his way to a blond-haired man and stood in front of him.

The blond-haired man stared at the young man in front of him, his face pale with fear.

The young man returned the gaze, slowly parting his cracked lips to speak in a hoarse voice, "You may not remember me, but I remember you vividly. I've even woken up in the middle of the night because of you.Five years ago, you and your group of trashes kidnapped by sister and ganged raped her, twenty people raped a single little girl ".

When the young man said upto here tears were streaming down his face his voice choked, " Do you know how old she was? She was just ten years old, ten years old but twenty people ganged raped her, a ten old girl, you brutally raped her till she was dead. She cried and begged for you to let her go, but you just laughed cruelly. She died with so many grievances at only ten years old. She was the only family I had left in this cruel world, and you took her away from me. You are nothing but a group of heartless animals" .

" You are just a group of heartless animals, animals!!!! " The young man roared with red eyes as he jumped on the blond hair man and started punching and kicking.

Nexus face was still cold and emotionless but he was shocked deep inside, this group of Nobles are even worse than beasts, twenty people ganged raped a ten old girl, what a fucked up world. Nexus shook his head in dismay, as he continued to look on.

The young man sat on top of the blond hair man and punched with all the strength he could muster, blood flew everywhere as he continued to punched, " Do you how I lived all these years? It's because of revenge that I am still alive today, I wake everyday dreaming of your death. I want to kill even in my dreams and it seems the Heavens have heard my prayer. I'm going to kill you!!!! " The young punched as he talked with a craze look in his eyes.

The blond hair man struggled with all his might as he scream and begged for mercy but all he received is a punch to the face. Twenty minutes later the blond hair man stopped struggling, he was completely dead but the young man didn't seemed to notice as he continued to punched, another twenty minutes passed finally the young man slowly stood up with blood all over his body as for the blond hair man his face was completely maggled the sight was really disgusting.

The young slowly turned to Nexus direction and bowed deeply,slowly turned and walked down the platform with a shaky figure.

Nexus looked at the lonely back of the young man and smirked with a glint in his eyes.

The rest of the crowd seeing someone have really beaten a Noble to death without any resistance, all of them looked at the Nobles kneeling on the platform and rushed forward with crazed and bloodthirsty smiles. Their thin and weak bodies erupted with such strength that it was really surprising.

" Give me back my daughter you filthy animals, I'm going to kill you "

" Ha ha ha ha ha, finally I've gotten revenge the Heavens really have eyes "

" Beat them up don't let anyone of them leave here alive, kill all of them "

" Your time have finally come, the Heavens have finally send judgement on all of you. You group bloody animals with no human moral integrity ".

Th crowd shouted as they rushed up the platform and started beating the Nobles, their faces were filled killing intent, their faces smeared with blood. They kick and punch wherever they can punch, cracking of bones can be heard from time to time.

As for the Nobles they kept screaming and begging for mercy but all of the people turned a deaf ear to their pleas as they continue to pummeled them while laughing with crazed smiles, tears streamed down their faces.

Especially the Five Noble Family Heads they were the ones being surrounded by the most people, their screams echoed across the platform. They were beaten in all sort of ways.

Some of the Nobles were trampled to death, the sight was really disgusting all kinds of limbs flying around the platform.

The black armored guards looked on with cold gazes, they didn't have any sympathy for these group of beasts.

Nexus face was cold, his eyes emotionless he crossed his arms and just stood there looking at all this a blank expression.

Thousands of people filled the platform beating whoever they set their eyes on, the platform was filled with the scent of blood. Blood splattered across the platform.

Half an hour later the screaming of the Nobles stopped, the crowd slowly left the platform their entire bodies drenched in blood a few minutes later the platform was empty only the maggled and unsightly corpses of the Nobles were left, with limbs, heads and internal organs splattered across the platform.

It was truly surprising that these commoners with thin and weak bodies can exhibit such strength.
