Vision 4 - Scammed (3)

I walked to the side of the platforms.

Inside the arena, I saw a mature woman who looked to be in her late thirties, a girl in her twenties, and A big Guy with his lion's mane-like hair.

I cursed inwardly. I thought this could just be a scam but the Nubeculas brought me to the dark side of society.

At such a place, Something is bound to happen.

[ HaHa... Nubecula's are enjoying the show, I will become more popular! ]

[ Don't worry watcher, you will get to see a good show! Our pair is extremely skilled with speed and we also have their contender with great strength! You will see a good show! ]

[ NOW! Our contenders! The gods are watching give them something great to watch and you will get points! ]

So those are Employees, even though I have seen them in my dreams, but no matter how many times I saw them those stars like tiaras look really magical.

The employee in the air looked really handsome. It was obvious why normal people who are still lower existence put them in such high regard.

The Man in the arena and the mature woman mumbled something to each other. I couldn't hear anything as they were speaking in a low voice and people shouting on the platforms made it even harder for me to hear anything.

As the fight progressed the giant man used his skill to create a tornado in his hand and attacked his opponents. I was still confused as to why Nubeculas wanted me here.

[ The Nubecula 'Razel' is observing you. ]

[ The Nubecula 'Yael' is observing you. ]

[ The Nubecula 'Belzeebub' is observing you. ]

[ The Nubecula 'Kafzeil' is observing you. ]

What the hell are they doing just observing me? That bastard Kafzeil openly guided me here but now he is staying silent.

Th giant man's attack connected and dust rose everywhere. Once the dust settled down the female pair became visible laying on the ground. The man walked towards them, he seemed reluctant to kill them at first but then he raised his foot to smash the head of the mature lady.

Again man and woman mumbled something to themselves but this time teen girl's voice was hearable.

She shouted and her voice was heard throughout the stadium.

" No! leave my mom! "

' It looks like there were mother and daughter. '

I looked toward the Astral projection of Persephone, She noticed my gaze and then looked towards the mother-daughter pair.

" Maybe Nubeculas want you to save them. "

That seems like the only rational conclusion, I thought it might be about exposing this dark side of society, but I laughed at my own thought.

Nubeculas will never be that thoughtful, especially high-ranked ones, but if they want me to save them they must be special. Maybe mother, or daughter, or maybe, both.

But if they want me to save them. Why are they not commenting anything? Where is that bastard 'Kafziel'?

The man rose his foot but I didn't do anything, I wasn't planning to do anything. Astral Persephone looked at me.

" Are you not going to save them? "

I looked at the beautiful half-transparent woman in front of me with a questioning look.

Save them? Why should I save them? I wasn't originally part of this world so I should not be here. So if they die that's how it should be. If I save them here a Person who should be dead will appear.

I did not want to meddle in the world's affairs in the first place. I only want to act when someone is dying, but that is also after I have enough of my own strength or if their being alive is necessary.

In the arena, the man rose his foot and smash it on the woman's head.

" NOOOOOO...! "

The daughter's scream echoed throughout the shed.

THUD!!

Just as the man lowered his foot, suddenly The door of the shed opened with a thud sound at the same time. At the open gate, A tall man with a well-defined body was standing in a military uniform.

Everyone looked at the Man who had some people behind him. There were also in military uniform but they had less number of stars on their shoulders clearly indicating their ranks.

The arena was in pin-drop silence, in the middle of silence an old man from the platform spoke.

" Shit! It's the legion! "

Legion. Each country has its own military forces which are called 'Legion'. Their duty is to maintain order and to see that no injustice is happening in the land of the countries.

People started making a disturbance when they heard the old man's words. They were afraid that they will be punished.

" Everyone stay seated where you are. Anyone creating a disturbance will immediately be arrested on the spot. "

The man's voice was calm, he didn't even shout, but people present at the scene felt their souls go dry. People behind the man had a proud expression for their superior.

No one even dared to open their mouth and sat at the places where they were standing.

[ wow... Nubeculas see... we have our hero here to rescue the people in need! ]

[ hehe... this will be an interesting scene to watch right Nubeculas?...]

The Employee's word sounded inside the silent arena, but no one said anything. Who would talk back to the messenger of gods when he is 'reporting' to the gods.

The man ignored the higher existence and walked towards the platforms and asked.

" Where is the owner of this rotten place? "

The whole shed was silent. People did not want to be arrested for talking back to the man of the legion with superior ranking.

As the silence continue, no one spoke a single word. The man was about to ask his subordinates to check the whole place when suddenly footsteps were heard.

tak.tak.tak.tak.

" Isn't it bit much to say my place rotten? "

A fat man walked down the stairs that were situated in the corner of the shed's big door.It was the same door from which The man and his military squad walked in.

The fat man had half his stomach coming out of his belt, he had a mustache and slick back hair. He was wearing a luxurious coat over his white shirt with a tie.

The man coldly looked toward the fat man, his gaze seemed like he was looking at garbage.

" You are the owner of this circus? "

The fat man opened his arm which seemed like he was asking for a hug, but he was gesturing to the whole shed.

" Yes. Circus seemed good word than rotten, but I will still like it if you don't call it that either. "

The military man and his subordinates were not interested in what the fat man wanted to say.

" We got the information that in this place illegal things are happening, and seeing this place, I guess we got the right information. "

" C'mon officer you have to follow the script, the Nubeculas are watching. See. "

The fat man pointed towards the opened comment panel beside a flying man with a tiara on his head. Nubecula's comment could be seen on the panel.

+

[ The Nubecula 'Moloch' : the military man needs to go. ]

[ The Nubecula 'Huehueteotl' : I want to see another fight. ]

[ The Nubecula 'Toci' : The fat man is right, everyone should go according to the scene. ]

+

The military man just glanced over the screen and turned his head around towards the fat man again.

" We are here to punish you for your crimes, it is the royal decree. "

The Officer signaled his subordinates with his eyes. All of them nodded and start walking toward the fat man. The fat man raised his both hand in defense and spoke.

" Wait a minute. May I ask What is it for that you are arresting me, officer? "

This time answer came from a girl who was part of a military squad. She was the first one who moved to arrest the fat man.

" Don't you know? You have violated several royal decrees and have been charged with Coercion, Affray, and Crime Victimization. "

The fat man looked toward the girl who doesn't even seem half his age.

" Little girl, I don't know the fancy words you spoke. "

The fat man was too calm, and the Officer did not like that. He was thinking that the fat man must have some way to get out of the situation. This time the officer spoke.

" It means to force someone do they don't want to, a display of force by one person against another, and Glossing over your crimes. Now, why don't you tell me what are you hiding? "

" hehe... I knew you were a smart officer or should I say, Marshal. Forgive me I don't know much. You put my supposable crimes in a much easier manner than the little girl. Thank you. "

The girl from the squad frowned at the fat man's word. She did not like the nickname he is giving her, he was also telling her that her explaining skill was not good.

" Why don't you tell us what is it? We all have our work to do. "

" Indeed we have our work to do. My fighting arena is on hold as well. To answer your question... They are slaves. "

Slaves that word made all squad members frown, the girl who already had a frown on her face frowned even harder. The Legion Officer just narrowed his eyes, he understood why the fat man was so calm.

Slavery was legal. It was something that the first leader of the Continent established during the first time when dark matter came into the world. During the apocalypse, people went rogue.

So to keep those kinds of people in under control slavery system was introduced. It was simple.

Anyone who has been caught killing for pleasure, caught stealing, caught raping, caught abusing children, and caught stabbing in the back of the country officials. Those people and their family members will be put into slavery.

It was cruel but it help them maintain order. Situation is much stable now but Royal are still using the same rules set by the first leaders.

The squad was confused. If the people here really were slaves, then they cannot take action against the fat man.

The Officer was calmer than his subordinates he looked at the fat man up and down then he casually spoke.

" Okay give us a list of all people you have and their official salve documents. "

The corner of the fat man's mouth twitched. Of course, the people he had were slaves but that does not mean all the people he had were slaves. He was hiding common poor people among the slaves. Slaves are quite expensive after all.

The Squad members notice the change in the fat man's demeanor. The girl from the squad smiled and said.

" Yes. You indeed are not a criminal, I am sure you have all the necessary details to prove your innocence. Let's go. We will personally escort you to your file room."

The girl looked toward her superior to ask permission. The officer just nodded his head to give his approval. The girl and the rest of the squad went with the fat man to his mansion where he told his file room was.

The Officer then walked around the shed to inspect the people present there. He quickly glanced over everyone present there in one motion.

Everyone has fear, anxiety, and confused expression on their faces. The Officer then noticed one individual.

His eyes fell upon the Big man with brown-colored lion-mane-like hair. He was sitting in the middle of the arena with his head down. The officer walked towards the fence. He opened the gate and walked toward the man.

" Why are you sitting in the middle of the ground like that? "

The big guy lifted his head to see the man in front of him. He saw a man in military uniform looking at him with a cold gaze.

He didn't say anything and lowered his head again. Realizing that the man sitting on the ground doesn't want to talk, the officer did not ask anything else.

He was about to turn around and walk away when he heard a voice.

" Hey! You Big guy. "

The Officer turned around and saw a man in a suit. It is the referee of the arena. The referee was running towards them. Before the referee could talk to the big guy the officer asked the question first.

" What happened here? "

The referee hesitated at first, but he tried to explain the situation.

" ...well, there was a fight. This big guy was fighting a mother-daughter pair. He was about to finish the match when You came and... "

The Referee looked toward the big guy and hesitated again.

" And? "

The officer spoke while coldly looking at the referee.

The referee couldn't handle the intimidating aura coming from the Military officer and spoke in a shaky voice.

" A-And The mother-daughter pair disappeared. "
