Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

"50 Million murders. 70 Million half murders. 100 Million attempted murders. Successful assassinations of 10 presidents of Germany, 9 presidents of Poland, 6 presidents of Russia, 5 presidents of America, 8 prime ministers of the United Kingdom, also 4 Kings and Queens of the same country. And that's not all.."

"There's more?"

"Yes, your honour. Mass Genocide and homicide in North Korea, South Korea, Germany, Poland, India and America. 30 thousand bank robberies. 90 thousand plane hijackings. 17 Million explosions of bombs in the most crowded places of Japan, South Korea, Russia, Germany, America and Poland. 85 thousand rape attempts on the princesses and Queens of Spain, Dubai, Wales and United Kingdom. And lastly, the most controversial and recent act, the destruction of all the Hindu temples, churches, mosques and Sikh temples in the whole world."

The lawyer announced and looked at the fifteen judges sitting on the panel in front of him.

"Your honour, the previous list of crimes that I just relayed to you belongs to only one man. Only one man did all that. And today, is the trial of that very same man. The Biggest Criminal mankind ever witnessed, the reincarnation of Evil itself, the man who belongs to the worst and worst and worst part of darkness. The man whom the whole world calls…"

CLINK!

CLANG!

The lawyer paused and from the door behind him, rattling of metal chains resounded in the whole court. Along with that, a person entered the court as well. And the lawyer finally finished his sentence..

"Criminal X."

Utter silence spread around the court as six men entered the room.

Five men were suited with armor and guns on their hands and in front of these five men was the man in question.

His hands were cuffed behind his back, his legs were cuffed, he was blindfolded and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

His hands and legs were also covered with metal chains and by the sound they were making on the floor, they seemed heavy.

All this was done so that the man would not be able to move freely and easily. They were the restrictions placed on him.

The man walked slowly and just after a few steps, the door of the court was closed.

One of the five men kicked the back of the knee of the man and the man was brought to his knees.

He was stopped far away from the lawyer and the fifteen judges.

There were many seats present on the court but the area around the kneeling man was empty. No one was sitting near him.

Apart from that, there were other people in the court and they were all sitting away from the man.

All this was happening in the highest court of the world—The International Court of Justice.

It was located in the Peace Palace in Hague, Netherlands.

This was the court where only international matters related to influential countries were discussed. But today, for the first time in the history of this court, a single man was being questioned. A single man was being treated as an international case. That alone speaks for the man's terror.

"So he is Criminal X, Mr. Richard?" One of the judges asked.

The lawyer, Richard Scruggs, the number one lawyer in the world was placed on this case. He was the most sought lawyer by everyone and the fees he demands are astounding but today, this man was doing this case for free. He demanded not a single damn penny from the government.

"Yes, your honour. The man on his knees, in restraints, in front of us, is none other than Criminal X."

The man the five armed men brought to the court was none other than Criminal X and he showed no reaction to Richard's words.

"Your honours, I must also tell you, the people present here in this court today are no ordinary people.

Each man and woman you are seeing here as an audience are the presidents and prime ministers of different countries. Russia, Spain, Germany, America, United Kingdom, UAE, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Poland, France, North Korea, South Korea, Japan and India. All these special people are here just to witness this man's trial.

And you, esteemed judges, you also represent 15 Countries. And I must add, this trial today is being broadcasted to the whole world. Every single man is watching the outcome of Criminal X. His life itself is a threat to world peace.

This man tormented the whole world. Myself included. My wife, my daughter, both died from the bomb explosion that happened two years ago in America. We want justice, my lords. Simple, pure, sheer justice."

Richard's voice trembled as he reached the last part of his speech. He was literally pleading for justice with clenched fists.

The fifteen Judges knew full well the gravity of the situation and remained as serious as ever.

On the table in front of them, countless files were present. All the fifteen judges had a bundle of files kept in front of them.

One of them asked, "Which one of these files belongs to Criminal X?"

Richard answered : "All of them."

The judges twitched but began to check the files one by one.

"Judges, it will take seven months to see all the files present in front of you. This man has created novels out of files. Each one is as long as holy books. I recited his main crimes earlier to all of you. It will waste less time in this court if you don't see those files."

If it were someone other than Richard, the judges would have suspended the lawyer for interrupting them. But since Richard suggested it, the judges somewhat agreed.

"Then will you answer some questions of ours?" One judge said.

Richard nodded. "Certainly."

Then the judges began asking their questions.

"What is his name? The real name of Criminal X, I mean."

"Pablo Castillo, my lord. He gave this name by and to himself."

"What about his relatives, parents, siblings. Anyone?"

"He has none of those, my lord. He killed his whole family by his own hands when he was just 6 years old. He has been a murderer since he was born."

The judges, the people present in the court, the people watching the trial, all gasped at Richard's reveal. They didn't had this information.

"It took a toll on authorities to find out about his past, my lord. This information is true down to its very last words."

The Judges sighed.

"Very well. Tell me this, Richard," An elderly judge spoke this time. "What made him the worst criminal alive? There must be something that happened with him? No one is born as a criminal, after all."

Richard exhaled a mouthful of breath.

"Your honour, there is very little known about his past but there is one thing that can answer this question of yours. One thing by which we can partially understand why Pablo became like this."

"Tell us then."

"This man, Pablo Castillo, was born on 13 August, 1939. And the place he was born in was…" Richard paused for a second then said, "Poland."

All the judges flinched. The president of Poland and Germany looked at each other as well.

"That's.. at that time, just after one month, wasn't Poland.." The elderly judge spoke but Richard finished the judge's words.

"Yes, my lord. Just after one month of Pablo's birth, on 1st September, 1939, Poland was invaded. And it was invaded by none other than…" Richard stared at all fifteen judges and in a grim tone, he said the next words.

"Adolf Hitler."
