Chapter 613 610:Rebels
The silence was soon broken by loud cheers and triumph of victory.
"Hail The Emperor!"
"Hail To The Emperor!"
"Long Live The Emperor!"
"Long Live The Emperor!"
"We Won!"
After taking a glimpse all around, Alex raised his hand to calm down everyone. His gaze then fell on injured Aeon, Ian and Hugo.
Hugo felt a piercing condemning gaze shivered and shrank back in fear.
Alex raised his hand, making a grappling motion.
Mana swirled around Aeon\'s body and he floated in the air as Alex twisted his finger following which a loud crackling voice echoed Aeon\'s body was pulled apart and his bones started to jolt as they were put in order.
Aeon gritted his teeth to suppress the tearing pain.
Alex then snapped his finger and a beam of bright golden light erupted from his body, covering the entire place and engulfing everyone in bright warm light.
"My wounds are healed."
"Oh my god, I feel as if I can fight another war again."
"What a mystical feeling?"
Alex smiled seeing the soldier\'s reaction and then waved as if pulling someone from afar while praising Aeon.
"Aeon, Ian, both of you have contributed greatly."
"And about Hugo..." Alex paused for a moment seeing his sullen expression.
"Good job."
He decided to show mercy on the prick.
"Arghhhhh!"
With a scream, a figure flying in the air crashed onto Alex\'s feet like a rag doll.
Riya and Christina\'s images flickered behind Alex who looked around with curiosity while others greeted them with respect.
"How can it be? How can The Emperor be here? Shouldn\'t you be busy?"
"Man, it seems you had a grave misunderstanding. I am the most free person in the world currently."
The man stared at Alex\'s face with disbelief as he had never imagined that the Emperor would directly deal with this thing.
"Hey, president of Dark Market.."
"It\'s black Market."Riya corrected.
"Whatever!"Alex shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What\'s your name?"
"Ken..."
Alex frowned and turned around to look at Riya.
"Is he your friend Ken?"Alex asked with surprise as he remembered the dagger Kiss of Death used by Riya was gifted to her by a friend named Ken.
"Their names are just similar but both of them are different. Did you forget that Ken is already with us?"Riya spoke, reminding Alex.
"What that bastard dares to betray after all the things I have done for....you" Alex stepped over the man\'s face who started screaming.
"Hmm!" Alex nodded and stared at the other Ken.
"So both the President and Vice president of the Black Market name is Ken. What a weird bunch."
Alex removed his feet and squatted down.
"Listen here. You who receive tons of news might know that my patience is limited. So, I will ask you one thing, where did you get your gut to defy my order?"
"Who do you think you are?"
As soon as Alex\'s voice fell, goosebumps erupted all over Ken\'s face.
When he lifted his face, all he saw was a being whose blood eyes burning with fury were devoid of the slightest human emotions.
Cold, dark and lacking the tiniest of empathy that living beings should have.
Ken\'s mentality collapsed instantly and his whole body shivered.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I dont have a choice. They threatened to kill me if I didn\'t do what they ordered. That mythic rank was here to kill me if I didn\'t do what they say."
"Who are they?"Christina asked as he noticed something amiss.
"The Rebel...Rebels..."
"Who?"Christina asked in confusion.
Alex frowned at the displeasure.
"They are a faction that wanted to oppose Your Majesty\'s rule. They said that the external threat that you spoke about was nothing but a lie to force your orders and remove the thorns in your path after you sat on the Throne."
"Who is the head of that group?"
"I don\'t know. I know nothing about that group. They asked me to shift all artifacts and things from the black market to the southern part of the Empire. They promised to help me set up a black market there and operate freely."
"Are you an idiot? You believed their empty promises."
Riya commented wondering if this guy was hiding things.
"I didn\'t have a choice."Ken pleaded with a choked voice.
"They even sent soldiers to help me here but actually, they were keeping an eye on me. My family was kidnapped…"
BANG!
Alex slammed his feet across Ken\'s face digging him under the pile of soil.
"You dare lie to me. You don\'t have a family."Alex\'s eyes glowed green as he saw the man lying about his family.
He was speaking the truth before but by the end, it seems he started to spout bullshit to arise and draw his pity.
Ken\'s face became bloody and blood sprouted out from his nostrils as he screamed holding Alex\'s legs.
"Have mercy…Your Majesty, please spare me, Lord."
"So, these trained militias belong to that rebel group," Alex, ignoring his pleas, muttered, rubbing his chin.
As he immersed himself in deep thought, his eyes glinted and his lips curled upwards as he noticed something.
\'Interesting…..It\'s surely interesting.\'
Alex\'s eyes gleamed dangerously as he noticed a mole.
Every Emperor had to deal with resistance when he sat on the Throne. There had hardly been any generation where there hadn\'t been much bloodshed during the rise of the new Emperor.
His father soaked the entire Capital in blood when he took the Thor, naturally he can do so more easily than his father but the time isn\'t optimum.
The reason why he spared many who hadn\'t committed a deadly sin was to use them as cannon fodder in war.
But it seems, some people are eager to die.
"Riya, Christina, take care of things here. I found something interesting. It wouldn\'t take too much time."
"Now, where are you going?"Riya asked but Alex\'s image blurred before she could finish her.
She then stared at Christina who also looked at her.
In the end, both of them sighed.
It was really hard to control this guy.
Christina put on a stern expression and clapped"Okay, all of you wind up the things. Carry the deceased and mend the wounded. Rest clear the things. We can\'t leave this place as it is."
"Aeon and Ian form a team and see if there are any remnants that want to stir troubles."
"Riya, take care of hidden danger if anything appears and lock this guy Ken in prison."Christina relayed the command while deciding to spare Ken and wait for Alex\'s judgment.
"Don\'t worry, I am always on guard," Riya answered safely and her cold eyes darting across the place noticed a tunnel through which artifacts were shipped before.
"That leader group surely had a gut of steel to provoke Alex at this time."Alex scoffed.
"A mere group of idiots need to waste time on that. I think Alex is on the move because he caught the tail."Christina concluded by wondering about the poor guy who decided to become the leader of the rebel groups.
If Athena had been here, she would have already prayed for the poor soul.
