Chapter 742 - The Aftermath
"You're lying!
No!
How can this be?
How can they be the same?
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Nopline couldn't believe his ears when he heard that Landon Barn was the person he had been searching for all these years.
Funny enough, not too long ago, he had sent his men to take down Baymard thinking that they were some weak empire that depended on Carona for protection.
But who would've guessed that they were this mighty?
He felt like the entire Pyno continent had been fooled by them.
The most painful part is that he might truly die without seeing what his enemy looked like.
He felt like Landon had just slapped his face and was indirectly reminding him of his insignificance.
Was he that unworthy even during his past few days?
The hate in his heart manifested even more with him blaming everything on Landon.
Why would he choose to pick on him?
What had he ever done to him?
In his heart, he had taken the role of a victim in this matter.
Nopline was just that sort of person who would never examine himself or see where he went wrong.
He was selfish, greedy and felt the entire world owed him their lives.
That's why he felt like Landon was a scheming person who kept singling him out.
Heh... even if Landon knew Nopline's thoughts, he would sneer and shrug his shoulders.
This sort of person was delusional, so what more could Landon do?
.
Kamara, Nopline and John were to be executed since they had a direct hand on so many crimes.
Again, their properties now belonged to the empire, which included their knights within other estates scattered around Terique.
The execution would only take place several days from now after some clean up had been done.
That's right!
Nopline had gathered a few nobles under his wings over these years.
And they too had done several dastardly things that were somewhat inhumane.
Additionally, they also aided in killing some of his children and wives.
Somethings would never be forgiven.
As for Lecter who was now his nephew, even though he didn't have a direct hand in killing him... he too wouldn't be spared.
At first, Micheal wanted to spare him.
But when they got to the dungeons, they were flabbergasted.
Over 70 girls from the age of 7~13 had been trapped, locked up, physically tortured, blinded, and had faced several kinds of abuse.
Just looking at this number, it was clear that many more had clearly died over the years after getting captured.
What sort of monster was this useless nephew of his?
Without a doubt, Micheal would have to find the parents of both the living and the deceased children and compensate them wholly.
Additionally, he had to execute Lecter in the place of these poor families.
As Terique's ruler, he couldn't be partial when it came to matters like this.
Plus, Lecter had also killed several honest workers too.
If someone couldn't make him laugh, it was off with their heads.
Even when the weather was bad, he still blamed it on others.
He was just too much!!
Even the soldiers felt like this sort of sc.u.m needed to be put to death too.
Once again, they felt too lucky to live in an empire like Baymard.
The more they went out for missions, the more disgusted they were with the normalities of this world.
Of course, Kamara cursed Micheal hysterically when she heard that Lecter would get executed.
She boned this ex-husband of hers for her downfall and kept trying to think of ways for her sin to escape while being locked up.
But that was just too impossible with the Baymardians in the palace.
The days went by in a flash with everything going according to plan.
And while Micheal was reorganizing his empire, things were also getting busy in Baymard too.
.
'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'
The sounds of several footsteps could be heard walking towards the great parliament hall that had over 1000 tables with microphones on them.
Of course in future, these seats would be filled by every empire's representatives.
But now, only 20 people came to this meeting.
Both men and women confidently strode in and found seats for themselves.
"Good Morning"
"Morning."
"Morning."
They greeted each other honestly while smiles on their faces since some of them had been working with each other for years.
Their clean, neat and professional looks exuded a sort of charm that made one take them seriously.
Their outfits looked crisp as a new banknote, which perfectly outlined their bodies right.
And while some sat calmly, others quickly got busy.
The secretaries distributed some files, brought their notebooks and took care of any other thing that needed to be done before the meeting began.
Those who worked within the building had already tested their microphones and prepared other equipment needed for the meeting.
Of course, security was also standing by the doors too.
And soon, Landon walked into the room and everyone briefly got up and bowed slightly.
"We greet his majesty, Landon Barn."
"Hm... Good morning to you all too.
You may sit."
With that, everyone did as they were told.
Landon looked at the faces before him and smiled.
He gathered these people here to focus on several main things that had to be done A.S.A.P.
Everyone discussed for a bit more until one of the secretaries looked at his watch and tapped a tiny bell with a metal mallet.
'Ding!'
The first ring was to remind everyone that in 5 more minutes, the meeting would soon begin.
This way, they could round up their chats with each other and proper for the meeting.
One of the security guards in the room heard the bell, walked out one of the parliament hall exits and took out his Walkie-talkie.
"The meeting is about to begin.
All security stand guard and let no one in without a pass, I.D and name check on the list.
Over."
