Chapter 224 224:The Wedding
Leon knew he had only two options, call the cops or run.But the image of the first option disappeared as soon as he appeared.
Leon stared at Ana's mother and chewed his lips, making a bitter choice.
He knowtowed and shouted,"Please forgive me Auntie but I am helpless."
Apologizing, he picked up Ana's dead body.
It was dead late at night.He pulled up Ana's body, covered in a black bag and then hiding her.
Then he wrapped his hands in two polythene bag, and then looked for perfumes and powder which he scattered around to delay the stench of blood.Even if it holds for an hour it was enough.
Before going, he first put the body outside in a safe place for a moment and then coming in, he tied the inside door knob with a wire to make it stay locked and jumped out of the window.
Then picking her body, he ran away and his figure disappeared in the darkness of night.
A week went by...…
The Cops found out about the situation only after 5 days.
At first the resident ignored it thinking that the bad odor was from garbage which was nothing knew as they were practically in a slum area but the stench became unbearable.
They searched around and arrived at two conclusions.
The husband and wife fought, and the husband killed the woman.Then their daughter in fit managed to kill her into such a state and ran away.
Second was the chances of a third party doing it but it was quite difficult to trace as the traces had become faint after leaving for many days….
In a far away place, in the backyard of a grave, a man sat with solemn expression.
His eyes were hollow and dark devoid of any emotion.
Traces of lingering flashed in his eyes as he stared at the mound.
The image of lovely smiling girl hiding her behind the veil appeared in his eyes.
They say to leave everything to Karma.
They say to leave everything to God.
But what about the one who suffered and died in suffering?
What does it matter when an evil person gets punished when several innocents have already been killed?
Why are millions of people suffering in pain, and despair and begging for God's mercy, while the sinners are enjoying themselves and living a life unbridled?
With each passing day, Leon found himself sinking deeper into a pit of despair and disillusionment.
The moral fabric of the universe seemed to unravel before his eyes, leaving behind nothing but chaos and confusion. How could there be any pretense of right or wrong in a world where the innocent suffered and the guilty went unpunished?
Thousands of questions rang in his mind again and again, eating away the last shred of insanity bound to him.
As he grappled with these existential questions, Leon's faith in the inherent goodness of humanity began to waver. The concept of morality itself seemed like a fragile illusion, easily shattered by the harsh realities of life.
What was the point of striving for justice and righteousness when the world was so inherently unjust?
And that's how he found his vision.
If God won't be there to give justice, he will enact justice.
If God won't listen to people's pleas, he would listen to their suffering.
He would jump into the pool of abyss so that others wouldn't have to jump into it.
He would kill..kill.... kill...He would kill every piece of shit so that the society won't have ill omen.
By killing one he saves many who might be a victim of those pieces of shit.
But was he doing the right thing by killing them?
Whatever may be killing is never justified but so what?
He didn't need to justify himself to the world.
Cause in the end he is just a sinner who sins so that others can't.
Yes, that is what he is...
The World's Greatest Sinner.
And that is how he lived till the end.
....
It was a crisp Friday Morning of Year 3180.
The temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. A perfect season for wedding fests.
The Greymore Estate buzzed with activity, more vibrant than it had been in decades. The reason for the excitement was the wedding of the Young Master of the Greymore Family who had caused a great stir in the entire world.
A Martial Emperor at the age of 20.
It was shocking and heaven-defying.
The entire Aetheria Prime seems to be jubilant about this wedding.
For the past few days, hundreds of workers had been tirelessly preparing for this momentous occasion, putting the final touches on the elaborate decorations and arrangements.
The air was filled with a sense of celebration, and guests arrived dressed in their finest attire, adding splashes of color to the already picturesque scene.
People frolicked in the light, their laughter and joyful singing filling the air with a sense of merriment and anticipation.
It wasn't wrong to say that the entire wealth of Aetheria Prime...no the entire wealth of Elysium would soon be concentrated here.
As noon approached, the Greymore Guards mounted their horses for a grand parade, circling the garden where the wedding stage stood proudly. The sound of hooves echoed through the air as they performed intricate maneuvers, their uniforms gleaming in the winter sunlight.
With the parade concluded, the guards took their positions, standing alert at the entrance to the garden, ready to welcome the esteemed guests who would soon arrive to witness the union of two prominent families.
And as the clock struck twelve, signaling the beginning of a new chapter for the Greymore Family, the anticipation and excitement reached a fever pitch, promising a day filled with love, laughter, and joyous celebration.
A signal went out to the main gate and guest houses, and soon all the guests arrived at the garden in their cars. Some young people had been in the garden since morning, enjoying the festivities, like getting ready for dances, singing songs, and other performances.
It wasn't just a wedding for the Greymoee Family, but also for two old families with their own special traditions.
The Young Master of Greymore was going to take two brides.
Ella Befort and Wang Menqin.
It was going to be a marriage of two.
Soon, big families started to enter one by one.
There were bonfires in the garden to keep everyone warm, even though it was cold outside. The guests were shown to their designated gazebos with their family names on them.
The host kept announcing the names of arriving guests, who then settled into their gazebos. The staff served them wine and snacks while they watched the performances on stage.
On the garden's edge, there were stands for hundreds of workers from the Greymore Estate and their families. They were all having a great time, cheering for the performances and enjoying snacks.
It was a scene of pure bliss and delight but amidst all this, a boy with murderous intent hiding his expression stood amongst the crowd.
Clenching his fist, he bites his lips.
His eyes burned furiously with fire as he watched the surroundings.
"Seph, today it's going to be game over for you."
"You will pay for your sins and I am gonna make sure you do it."
"Today, only of us will remain."
........
Believe me or not, the current chapter is 179 in draft.It all because chapter are long that it's annoying and those who are complaining why don't kill Seph, what do you want.
Make Leon and just put a stick in Seph ass at Martial King level.
As filler chapter, I may have written a few slice-off-life chapters but no filler chapters but when you write 4k chapters and divide, one comes out as a filler one and in panda- quantity comes first then quality.
Secondly, those who want to see Leon as lonely from beginning it was Leon wish to have a family and loving parents. That should be an indication.This is the story of bloodthirsty cruel guy doing everything to achieve his goal.As for original theme of hunting the protagonist and antagonist,its at the last stage for this realm after which it will be speed run when he goes to dimensional zone.
