Chapter 57: Flick and Boom

“Arrest this man!” Johnny ordered the guards that arrived. The guards didn’t dare stand and executed the order.

“Let’s go!” One of the guards arrived in front of Aakesh and ordered him. Aakesh expressionlessly stared at the guard and hundreds of guards preparing for the worst-case scenario.

“Do you want me to drag you?” The guard again asked, seeing Aakesh still casually sitting. He would’ve already dragged the man, but he controlled himself as he was in front of the king.

“Drag him!” Johnny ordered, seeing the guard not taking the initiative. The guard nodded and took a step forward. The next moment, the guard arrived right in front of Aakesh.

There was still no change in expression for Aakesh. As the guard reached out to grab Aakesh’s hand, a white flash passed by before he could touch it.

The next moment, the guard was sliced into three pieces. The upper part of his body flew to the king and hit him, making him sit on his throne. The middle part flew toward Johnny and threw him to the wall. The bottom part drifted to the guards standing behind, making their position haywire. It was Lily who made a move. She couldn’t just sit and let Aakesh kill these weaklings.

It all happened so fast that no one had the time to prepare for this. “HOW DARE YOU?” Pinto angrily growled at Aakesh after getting his dress ruined due to the blood.

He angrily stood up and tried to make his move but was forced to stop by his uncle. “You would die!” He whispered into Pinto’s ears, making pinto Freeze in his steps.

“Why do you want your guards to die?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked Pinto, sending chills to hundreds of guards. He didn’t talk directly to them, but they saw an illusion of dying when he spoke to Pinto. They felt so afraid that their legs started shaking.

“CONTROL YOURSELF!” Johnny had to shout to stop the guards. He could see the fear in their eyes, but they had to control themselves if they wanted to do their duty.

“What are you doing? Arrest him!” Pinto ignored Aakesh and instead angrily ordered the guards.

The guards fell into a dilemma as they didn’t know what to do. They looked at Aakesh and saw no expression on his face, then they looked at their king, and they could feel rage and fear from their king.

“What are you looking at me for? Arrest him!” Pinto ordered, seeing his guards just standing and looking at him and the store owner. His patience was running thin as the fear of Aakesh was engulfing him.

The guards had no choice but to execute Pinto’s order as it was what they had been trained for since they joined the army. They took a deep breath, took their positions, and moved forward while holding the same position toward Aakesh.

“Let me make it easy for you!” Aakesh suddenly stood up and expressionlessly stared at the guards, freezing them in their steps. The guards, when they looked into Aakesh’s eyes, felt that they were standing on top of a mountain of ice and getting frozen with each passing second.

They thought it to be an illusion, but in reality, they were getting frozen. In no time, every single guard present in the throne room became a block of ice.

Aakesh then took a step forward and appeared in front of the nearest frozen man. He then expressionlessly lightly flicked the statue. The statues present in the room disintegrated into tiny ice particles making the scene look stunning. Lily clapped on his head, seeing the scene. “See, how beautiful this looks? If we hadn’t come here, we would’ve never seen this,” She commented in admiration of the scene. Only Aakesh heard her comment. He didn’t agree with her, so he didn’t respond.

“Why would you kill your own guards?” Aakesh then turned around and asked Pinto.

“Wha…what do you…you mean? You…you kil…killed the…them…them,” Pinto responded. His voice, trembling and slurring due to fear.

“I’m bored. I think it’s time to end this,” Aakesh suddenly said, making Pinto stumble. He would’ve fallen down the stairs leading to the throne if his uncle wouldn’t have caught this.

“I think so too,” The next moment, a childlike voice echoed in the throne room. Aakesh was talking to Lily, not the others, as it was her idea to come here. He got bored by killing weaklings.

It was true that he didn’t feel a thing when killing these guards, but it didn’t mean he liked to kill. He only kills those who make their moves against him.

“Who is there?” Pinto asked tremblingly after the childlike voice echoed in the throne room. Barry and Johnny were so afraid that they couldn’t even utter a word. They stood frozen in their position with pale faces.

Even Pinto’s heart was engulfed in fear of Aakesh, seeing him expressionlessly and casually killing hundreds of guards in a moment. He was calmer in comparison to the other two because of the gift of his grandfather. If he didn’t have that, he wouldn’t have even started this issue with the store owner.

“You come here,” Aakesh turned around, directly stared at Barry, and ordered. Barry’s face turned even paler, and his legs started shaking due to fear. If someone saw him, they would never believe that Barry was someone who had lived for hundreds of years. Such was the fear of death that it made even the strongest lose their calm.

The next moment, his legs stopped shaking and made their move forward. Barry looked at Aakesh in pure horror. He forced himself to stop, but his legs didn’t stop.

In order to stop his legs from moving automatically, he fell to the ground, but even after that, he moved as if someone was dragging him by his leg.

“STOP IT!” Pinto ordered Aakesh, but he didn’t even look at him, let alone follow his order.

Barry horrifyingly looked at himself getting dragged toward the store owner. “Damn it! You killed me for showering so much love on you,” He cursed his deceased son in his mind.. If not for him, nothing like this would’ve ever happened.
