74 Being Exposed? (2/2)
Screams filled Pearl City, the people who defended the city now plundered it and killed its citizens!
Troy and Sebas tried to stop the cultivators, but after fighting and receiving so many wounds against the beasts, it was impossible to stop a hundred cultivators with their remaining strength.
”...”
Rainer was unable to assimilate what was happening, the city was being besieged by humans themselves instead of beasts!
”People only seek their own benefit, the stupid Pearl City citizens are paying for their selfishness and ignorance with blood...” Said Liann as she looked at the chaos that had been generated.
”Selfishness is something shared by all races no matter what world you're in... ”Rainer thought.
”Rainer, what shall we do?” Asked Alisha.
While they were talking, a girl ran towards them with a pale face, this girl was Dexia.
”My father and uncle need your help to stop the chaos in Pearl City!” Although exhausted, Dexia spoke to Rainer's group without even pausing to breath.
”...”
Rainer looked at her indifferently, he seemed to be thinking about what to answer.
When she saw Rainer wavering, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to guide him to his father.
”...!”
What she didn't expect was that after grabbing Rainer's wrist, instead of following her, he got rid of her grip and pushed her away from him!
”No....”
”What?!”
”I won't...I've always been too naive...you think I'm going to help you after all that happened...your father didn't even come out in my defense... in my opinion, Pearl City can go to hell, I won't move a finger to protect people like this.I may be young but I'm not brainless...” Rainer said as he watched the flames spreading through Pearl City.
”Alisha, I wanted to save them, but I'm not going to help people who don't deserve it... ”Rainer said as he looked directly at Alisha.
”I... understand how you feel, it hurt to me too when they criticized you after everything we've done for this city... ”Alisha replied as she clenched her fists in frustration.
”That's why I told you we should have left as soon as we heard about the beast wave...” Liann said as she walked through the Pearl City entrance gate.
”...”
Rainer and Alisha followed her in silence, behind them, a city on fire and drowned in screams and blood slowly disappeared.
At the city entrance, Dexia was left blank while her blood-covered father and Sebas grabbed her and fled in another direction.
The next day, the arrival of the second wave of beasts erased all traces of the incident, of course, the survivors who fled reported the events and the news reached the Guyi rulers.
...
In a luxurious palace, many half-naked girls ran around the room while 'playing'.
A swimming pool helped these girls suppress their 'heat' as they played among themselves.
Sitting on a throne surrounded by these young women was an elderly man who enjoyed these worldly pleasures.
A man was kneeling as he communicated to his Emperor the latest news concerning his orders.
”You say that a young man controlled these giant beasts and used them to defend the city?” Asked Julius II of Sirius, the human Emperor.
”Yes, the report mentions that the young man used a strange magic and summoned them to fight.” The servant answered.
”That young man must be in possession of the artifact! Find him and bring him to me!” Ordered the Emperor as he imagined himself controlling the world with the giants' power.
”Yes, at your service!” The servant bowed and left to prepare the capture teams.
”We humans have been silent for several decades...it is time to claim what is ours by nature!” Said the Emperor as he stroked the breasts of a young girl who could be his daughter....
