THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 524 Argumen

But this time the situation was entirely different. The one who died is the son of the first person of the city. The person who died has an entirely different status compared to their own. They knew that no matter how much they try to suppress it there is no way their family's background could be of any help.

So when Jinx was trying to tell them the pros and cons of the situation, they were terrified. Their heart was totally in chaos. Under the fear of death they blamed Jimmy and others for the death of the son of the City Lord.

When Jimmy and others were sentenced to death by the city Lord they heaved a sigh of relief. All they have to do is wait for one week. After Jimmy and others were publicly executed the things will turn back to normal.

At least, that's what they thought. So today when execution time has come, They knew that it's just a matter of some couple of hours before all the troubles will be washed away. After some couple of hours they could live a normal life again. They swore that they would never involved in any kind of trouble after the execution.

But who would have thought that just before the execution something like this would happen? Their mental fort.i.tude is always been weak. Since all of them were playboys, They never knew the cruelty of the world. They were always in walled in some kind of trouble. But because of the families political background all their wrongdoings were suppressed before it could reach the city Lord.

So this kind of situation was entirely new for them. They looked at each other hoping that someone would come forward and speak bravely. But all they found on each other's faces are nothing but cowardice. All they found is nothing but fear. It was the similar expressions and inner beliefs of their own.

"You have nothing to fear." , City Lord comforted them, "Earlier, even if you lied to me, all I will just give you is some minor punishments. None of you will die. Since all of you are just children, I know how much my son's death has terrified you. Adding with the fear that Jinx put in you and in your heart, I can understand how you felt back then. So don't be scared. All you need to do is to tell the truth. Because I am not as cold blooded monster as Jinx told you. So feel free to speak."

One of them took the courage and stepped forward. He bowed to City Lord and said, "We would like to apologise, City Lord. Everything that you have seen in the recording crystal is true. These people didn't kill young master. At least, we haven't seen it with our own eyes. If they are somehow related to the killer, then we don't know that. But we didn't see them killing young master personally. It's just as you said. Back then we were trying to tell the truth. But when great elder Jinx told us how you would treat us, we were scared. We felt that you will definitely kill us if we didn't bring the killer with us. So we had to lie. We are extremely sorry for our behaviour."

Silence!

The entire judgement ground was silent. Jinx was stunned. He knew that things have turned from bad to worse. He didn't know why things have developed to such an extent. He then looked at Jimmy who was looking at him with pity. He has a wide smile on his face which was like poking a needle on his wounds. The pain was torturous.

Jinx gritted his teeth. He looked at Jimmy with hatred. And this hatred could only be washed when one of them is dead. Even though he somehow gets away from this mess, he knew that he will no longer have the prestigious position in the City Lord's courtyard which he had till now. He was sure that he will lose his position as a great elder of the city Lord's courtyard. No one will trust him ever again.

But he didn't understand one thing. When did Jimmy record everything? Of course the answer is truly complicated. Since Behemoth could provide Arjun with the Recording Crystal which displayed clearly how Garth killed the son of the City Lord, Jimmy felt that he might also provide him with Recording crystal which could display how Jinx injected fear in the hearts of those young people and deliberately forced them to put the blame on him and his family. So Jimmy went to h.e.l.l and asked Behemoth to give him that recording Crystal. And that's how Jimmy managed to get the recording Crystal. He just took the benefits of being an Universe Will.

"City Lord, I..."

"Shut up!" , before Jinx could say anything in his defence, City lad ask him to shut is mouth. He said, "You have said more than enough. Right from the very beginning I never believed you. Do you think that I don't know that it was you who probed my son to that auction house? Do you think that I don't know that it was you who ordered my son's bodyguards to go on a patrol?Do you think I don't know anything?"

"Please stop, City Lord!" , Jinx shouted, "What wrong did I do? I only said what was happening in the auction house. I never told young master to go there personally. And I didn't know that young master would break the rule which you have set and go for the auction house. As for the guards, that's right! It was I who told them to go for Patrol. But I never told all them to go. Don't they have a minimum commonsense to stay behind at least one or two people to protect young master? So how is all this related to me?"

"He has a point, CIty Lord!" , The Pope of the Church of the Deception stood up and said, "I think all Jinx did is to install fear in those Young Master's followers. It was so that they won't tell any lie. I think there is no need to doubt Jinx in this matter. Please think before you make your decision, City Lord!"
