Chapter 212 - 212 – Their Meeting
Re'i gasped when finally my colonists and the merman troop reached my colony. The king couldn't take his eyes off the fifteen-meter-high mech my colonists were riding.
"Ah, a mech." But, Gwen was not excited.
"Yes, a mech." Seb looked sad to see that war weapon. It was natural for him to be a lover of peace.
The mech was parked near the big tree in a kneeling position, and then my colonists descended on a rope. The pilot and the merman guarding him also landed on the ground.
"Ah, so nice to see you again, Kat." Gwen hugged Kat, who was actually just passing by. Rex just looked at the two women.
Kat hissed in pain, and Gwen immediately let go of her arm, examining the amber-eyed woman's body, which was now covered in bandages.
"Looks like what happened to you was quite troublesome, huh?" Gwen grimaced. "Come on in, let me check on you..."
"Later, Gwen. There's something more important." I cut off the blonde-haired woman's words.
"Or later." Gwen glanced at me.
The mermans lined up Jia's men near the tree and forced them to kneel down. Including the mech pilot. Then, the other mermans pulled Alice and Yvonne to their knees with the men.
"Excuse me... Didn't you all agree that I should join you?" Alice asked nervously as the mermans began to tie the people up.
"Sorry, but we can't believe you yet, Alice," Leva explained in a cold tone. "It's only for a moment, really. If you're a really good person, you'll survive."
Alice widened her eyes and was speechless.
"I know it might be hard," I spoke to Gwen. "But can you take a peek at each one of them and see if they're not going to betray or do bad things? Basically, you make sure they're good people or not."
Gwen opened her mouth slightly, swallowed hard, then walked over to Leva and my other colonists. "You all know what we have to do, don't you?"
"Yes, we already know. We discussed it on the way." Manu starts walking back to temporary shelter. "I'll get you something sharper."
My captives flinched. One of them even tried to run away and screamed, but some of the mermans held him back.
"What... Why? Even though I wanted to help you guys...." Alice started to cry.
"It's no use crying, Alice." Yvonne sighed. "As expected, things won't be that easy."
Tom shouted, "Let go of Yvonne! She's innocent. I'm the only one..."
"Shut up!" Leva pointed at the man with her machete. "We will prove it our way!"
Widening his eyes, Seb came up to my other colonists. "Hey, what are you guys going to do!?"
"Shut up and get out of here, Seb." I gave orders.
However, the man just stood there with his breath starting to rise and fall. Eric then approached his father.
"You'd better go in, Seb." Eric patted his father's shoulder.
Seb looked at his son's face for a moment, then walked away shaking.
When Seb is far enough away, Gwen came upon the first captive, a man with a scarred face. The blonde woman then knelt down and pressed her forehead to the prisoner's. The prisoner's chin dropped, then seconds later, Gwen turned to Leva and shook her head.
Just then, Manu had returned, wiping a large sword. The prisoners immediately trembled. Some even cried. When someone spoke, their mouth was gagged by the mermans.
"Let me do it." Leva took the sword from Manu's hand while the first captive was forced to get up by the mermans.
"If you're tired, I'm ready to do it too," Manu replies in a cold tone. "I also want to do something to them."
Leva moved to one of the large rocks some distance from the shelter. There two mermans forced the captive to lie face down on the rock.
"Wait! Wait! I'm sorry! I know it's wrong to torture and **** women, but I was influenced by Jia!" The prisoner was crying hysterically. "Please, don't kill me! I promise to change!"
I don't want to take the risk. He could have betrayed us in the future. After all, someone like him deserved this kind of punishment.
One bad person will disappear from the face of this planet.
"Please!!! I'm willing to do anything for you!!!" The prisoner's cries grew louder, and the mermans needed more effort to hold him against the rock. "I beg of you!!!"
Levi doesn't care. Her eyes focused on one point: the back of the prisoner's neck. The red-haired woman stuck the tip of the sword in her hand to that part.
Then, she raised the weapon up high.
"Nooooo!!!" The prisoner shouted in a thunderous voice.
Leva swung the sword downwards with speed and precision. With a single slash, the man's head was severed, flung out in a spurt of blood, before finally landing on the ground with a roll.
The expression of horror is still etched in the captive's head.
The prisoners were getting more and more scared. Their bodies shook violently, and almost all of them were crying. Only Yvonne looked calm, closing her eyes in silence.
Seeing that, Tom also closed his eyes, smiling bitterly. "At least we'll die together, honey."
On the other hand, Alice could only widen her eyes with a pale face. Her pants started to get wet with her urine.
Kat crouched down in front of the petite woman, then said. "Alice, you'll be fine. You were one of the nicest to me while I was there."
Seeing Kat's expressionless face, Alice burst into tears again instead.
"You have no right to judge our actions." One of the prisoners growled and glared at my colonists.
"Oh, the only one with absolute right to judge is god, sir." Manu crouched down, sneering. "We're just making you and your friends meet him sooner."
Gwen, who still looked shocked at what had just happened, hadn't read the next prisoner's thoughts. The woman froze with a pale face. Re'i came to the woman and patted her on the shoulder.
The psychic girl looked at the smiling king, then took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'll do it.." Gwen grabbed the second captive's head, then brought her forehead closer to the prisoner's.
