" I feel like that too, but if we betray the king, then he might just kill us with one thought. " The Tottering Demon said, and all of them felt that they were stuck between two hard choices, and the wrong one would immediately grant them death.
" I think death by his hands is going to be much more brutal and painful, I can still remember how those corpses looked when attacked by those little monsters. " One of the elders spoke, and others nodded their heads.
" Keeping our life for now is more important, and we can find a way to deal with the king later on. " On these words, everyone finally came to a conclusion, they turned towards Jayden and spoke:
" We follow the king only because he holds power over our life, we have no loyalty towards him.
He has been treating us like slaves, ordering us around, even bringing us to the bathroom with him just because he was afraid, we don't respect such being at all. "
The Tottering Demon gave words to everyone's thoughts and the elder who was waiting with a smirk turned around with a disbelieving gaze and he understood one thing by those words.
' So even if we all fight together, we won't be able to defeat this person? ' he thought and instantly regretted talking before, now he could only beg for Jayden's forgiveness or he might die a very very painful death.
" So, if the king is dealt with, will be you be able to follow my words? "
Jayden asked, although he wanted to just kill them all, but it would weaken the Kingdom into a pitiful state and that would eventually lead it to destruction, so he had decided to spare some of them after all goddess Damuda had tasked him to protect this Kingdom that was created by the Asura God.
" Do you have a way to do that? " One of the elders asked with hopeful eyes, despite being at the peak of strength in the entire Kingdom they have lived as the king's slaves, constantly being under the threat that he might decide to kill them at any moment if he felt that they were plotting some thing against him.
" Yes "
Jayden simply answered he was too lazy to explain anything, after all, he just needed to give one command to the king and he would do whatever Jayden wanted.
" Then we will follow your command, in return we just want some freedom and self respect. " The Crazy Bull said.
' Haa, I should've waited a bit longer, my stupid pride have brought me to death's door today. '
After the discussion, the Tottering Demon spoke:
" Okay, we accept your challenge but uh... We aren't allowed to kill each other in the game right? "
He wanted to confirm that Jayden wasn't going to kill them in the game otherwise why would they put their life at risk for someone else.
" Yes I won't kill you, so are you ready for the game? " Jayden understood their concerns and replied.
" Yes, we are ready please give us a few moments to discuss our strategy. " One of the elders asked and seeing Jayden nod, they formed a circle again and began to discuss.
Their goal wasn't to defeat Jayden but to delay his win for as long as possible, as they talked Jayden felt bored standing there, he wanted to play this game for two reasons, The first one was to test his new strength, since no one else could even match half of his strength and the second goal was to show the difference in strength between them, so in the future they wouldn't dare think of doing anything funny.
" What are you going to do with the king and his family? " Anna asked, she was curious as to what kind of punishment he was planning to give to those people.
' I have a few things planned for them, but first I'll let Jia have her revenge, after all, it wouldn't be good for her to have bottled feelings of hatred, it would even hinder her growth. ' Jayden replied in his mind then he added.
' As for his family, I want to torture them in front of each other, give both the princes and the queen the most painful experience both physically and mentally.
However, I will let Jia handle the queen's physical torture since I am not much experienced in that aspect. "' Jayden said.
