Chapter 149 It's A Blessing
It was like an imperial order. Those fighting the beast turned their head and looked in the entrance direction. Their eyes were bright and their morale high.
They attack the beast in front of them with vigor. With the arrival of Justin and Merab, the beast was killed in a couple of seconds.
Nasir and Mack came to meet Justin and gave him a slight bow. Justin's position in the heart of everyone was unshakable. Though he was their king, he never behaved like the medieval kings. He behaves more like a commander which gains the heart of the people.
He alone serves as the beacon of hope.
"What happened?" Justin asked.
"After you left, they appeared from the tunnel," Nasir said.
Hearing this, he thought for a moment before he turned his head to look at the men carrying the supplies.
"Choose me to receive those supplies from them." He pointed to the men.
Quickly, Mack led some men to receive the supplies. He looked at the men and detected a powerful aura from their bodies and wondered what happened. Nevertheless, he kept quiet as they received the supplies.
The men gave the supplies willingly without having any thought of fighting back. Since the supplies had been taken from their hands, they looked at each other not knowing what to do.
"You can leave?" They heard Justin's voice.
Hmm!
They blinked twice before they regained their bearings and dashed out of the subway. While some looked at Justin and his group with various thoughts running through their mind.
"Don't think about it. I won't accept you." Justin said calmly as he looked at the remaining people that were yet to leave.
The expression on their faces dropped when they heard his cold words. They sighed dejectedly and looked at the group for the last time before they rushed to the surface. Now, they need to think about how to deal with their leader back in the camp.
Justin looked at the back of the men and shook his head. If they could abandon their camp because he was more powerful than them. He can't imagine to what extent they would act just to survive. Those kinds of men won't hesitate to sacrifice their friends.
He places the unnecessary thought behind his mind as he enters the train. Chloe was rushing toward him with a large stride.
"Welcome your Majesty." She gave a slight bow.
"What's the problem?" He asked directly. He knew Chloe wouldn't come looking for him without her needing something.
Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on her face as she adjusted her glasses.
"I sent some men to survey ahead and we discovered a derailed train. All the people inside had been killed. So —"
"You want us to join those cars with ours." He completed it.
"Yes," he nodded.
"How long will it take you to fix them with ours."
"12 hours less."
"That's too long…" He frowned.
"I know… but if we can find these machines. Then, our work will be cut in half." She gave him a cheat sheet of paper.
He skimmed through the list and looked at Chloe with an unsightly expression.
"Where do you expect us to find this?" He exclaimed.
Chloe cleared her throat as she averted her gaze from Justin's piercing gaze. She knew what she asked was difficult to procure in this dangerous time. But without those things, life in Genesis would be hard in the near future.
"Do you know anyone who knows where we could find them?" He sighed. He knew Chloe was trying very hard to make the life of everyone easy.
"I've done that." She answered quickly. She pointed to three people standing a couple of meters from her and beckoned them to move closer.
Two men and a woman.
The three approach them with nervousness. Though they try to hide their nervousness, the bead of sweat on their forehead and their trembling fingers give them away.
Chloe didn't care about their nervousness as she quickly introduced them.
Hearing this, Justin cast a glance at the three before he averted his gaze.
"Are you sure we are going to find the thing on the list at the location you all knew?" He asked with a solemn voice.
Hearing Justin's solemn voice, the three trembled vehemently as their heart was racing, trying to jump out of their heart.
"You Majesty…" A young man in his early 30's stuttered as he fell on his knee.
"I-I'm not sure of my location." He cried as tears dripped from his eyes. "Please don't kill me."
Listening to this, the expression of the other two wavers for a second before it becomes firm. While Chloe had an unsightly look. She looked at the man on the ground and wanted to slap him to death.
'You idiot, so you're not sure and dare to waste my time …' She shouted in her mind before she looked at Justin's face.
Justin had a calm expression as he didn't look at the man. He looked at the other two and asked again.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, your majesty." They replied with confidence.
"Good," He nodded. He looked at Chloe.
"I will depart with these two but I want everything to be in order when I return. Any form of discrepancy…" His voice trailed.
"Merab would see to the security of Genesis while Mack and Nasir would support her."
"Have the cars ready to be fixed when we return." He commanded as he departed from Genesis.
Quickly, the two people followed after him with a smile on their faces. While the young man on the ground had a sigh of relief on his face.
"Detain him" Justin's voice came from the distance.
What!
Out of the blue, two defense guards appeared in front of the young man. Before he was carried like a kid. He screamed but no one cared. He regretted his action for trying to deceive the king all because of free contribution points.
Though they heard he was a tyrant king. Those in the lower section had never seen him take action against them.
But now, this young man knew he was really a tyrant king. But there was no medicine for regret and what awaited him was unknown.
Chloe didn't care about the life of the stupid young man. The last voice of Justin still lingered in her heart. She knew if she committed additional mistakes. What awaited her was unknown.
'This idiot!' She gnashed as she rushed to find Nasir.
Back on the surface, a silhouette was racing, carrying two people, listing a gust of frost wind behind. But the people on his shoulder didn't seem to impede his speed. This was Justin carrying both the man and the woman. With the physique of both the man and woman, they won't last a minute on the surface before they frost to death.
"Right…" A female voice came from his shoulder.
Swoosh!
Justin took a sharp turn to his right without reducing his speed. A block of ice lay in front of him blocking his way. He didn't bother to halt as he continued to race forward.
He waved his hand and a streak of golden light flew forward, shattering the wall of ice into smithereens.
After a couple of minutes, Justin was in a secluded area. A warehouse appeared in his sights. He dropped those on his shoulder and asked.
"Is this the place?"
The two were trying to catch their breath as Justin's speed sucked the breath out of their lungs.
"Y-e-s" The woman managed to say after regaining her breath.
Justin nodded as he prepared to enter the warehouse. He had completely forgotten to cast his power on the duo when the deadly ice fell on their body.
Ah! Ah!
The two fell to their knees as they began to freeze at an extreme speed. Justin turned his head and saw what happened and quickly set force fields around the duo.
Huh!
They exhale a cold turbid air as their heart is filled with fear. They knew the ice was deadly but they never thought it would be this deadly.
They tried to force the ice off their body but found it was impossible. The ice was still sipping into their body but its speed was slower. At once, fear appeared on their faces as they looked at Justin.
Bang!
The ice around their body was shattered into pieces as if it was nothing.
"Thank you, your Majesty." They cried with tears in their eyes.
"You don't have to thank me. Since you are doing your share of responsibility. I must save you." Justin said casually.
"Let go." He said after seeing them recover from the ice effect.
Inside the warehouse, various parts of the machine were scattered while some shelves were left untouched.
The welding machines and tools that were listed on them were easily found. Justin was surprised by all the available machines.
He understood why no one wanted these machines and tools. Since the world turned upside down, this thing had no value like food, clothes, and medicine.
"This is a blessing." He muttered with a smile on his face.
