Chapter 1535: Ancient Glorious City(6)
The scene was short, and the curtains immediately fell after Aakesh nodded, accepting the son's order.
Aakesh was part of the next scene since he was meeting the mother. The mother no longer showed her crazy side and kept the conversation on topic.
She asked for ideas from Aakesh about how he wanted to proceed with the situation. She had only one condition: the woman needed to be humiliated.
Time flew by, and minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
On the wedding night, "We are finally together," The man commented, looking at his wife with loving eyes.
The wife responded with the same expression and reached to kiss him.
Slam!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang in their ears. The son gently pushed his wife away and walked outside the room.
His expression turned cold when he saw the scene outside his room. His guards were brutally murdered, with their corpses littered across the hall.
The murderer didn't leave but walked to the son and grinned at him. He then pushed the man aside and walked into the room.
The strength difference between the two sides was vast, so the son could do nothing but get pushed back. But when he saw that his wife was in danger, strength rushed to his body, and he immediately rushed inside.
The next scene he saw made him freeze for a moment. Before him, the murderer was kneeling on the ground while reverently looking at the woman, who was still wearing her bridal dress.
Before the son could understand what was happening, the murderer turned around and rushed to him and slashed, aiming to kill him as he killed the guards.
The knife almost reached his head, but suddenly, a barrier emerged out of thin air and protected him against the attack. The next moment, a force emerged from the barrier and knocked the murderer backward.
The murderer's mask seemed to have come off at that moment, so when the woman saw the face, she screamed out the man's name.
The son felt his world shake, trying not to believe what was happening before him.
The murderer coughed up blood and rushed to the son once again.
The curtain fell right at that moment, making the audience curse at the actors. Aakesh looked at the scene with solemnity since things had gone beyond his plan.
He had asked the mother to hire the bride's brother and play it like that, but the end result was that he would commit suicide as soon as his first attack failed.
But something else happened on the stage. After the first attack failed, the brother became even more murderous and rushed to attack the son once again, forgetting part of the deal.
Not long after, the curtain rose up once again. Aakesh seemed to be a part of the scene, so he disappeared from his seat and appeared on the stage.
"He told me to do it because he loves your wife," The murderer stated, looking at Aakesh with red eyes.
Aakesh was locked in a prison, while outside the prison, the son, his wife, the mother, and the murderer were present.
The son coldly looked at Aakesh and was ready to pronounce his death. The mother had a gloating expression.
Aakesh's eyes turned cold as a sense of danger hit him. He needed to escape the prison, so he immediately stopped playing by the rules and broke out of the constraints using his superior mental strength.
The next moment, he appeared in his seat. The people sitting in the audience all looked at him simultaneously. Their faces changed as they went from living to dead in no time.
An aura of blood permeated every corner of the structure and contained killing intent. It was all directed at Aakesh.
The people on the stage were unaware of the audience, but even they turned around and looked at Aakesh. The mother had the most exaggerated reaction and she sneered since it was her actions that led to the current scene.
Whoosh!
An energy storm erupted as Aakesh released his energy. Lily and Khaval also stood up from their seats and immediately expanded to hundreds of meters.
The structure seemed to handle it with ease, as their heads didn't touch the roof at all.
In the city, the proximity of the building to the gate didn't set the danger level of the trial. The farthest building from the gate could be the easiest or toughest. It was all random.
The restaurant trial was simple since there were fixed rules and the waiter could only play by those. So when Aakesh stayed silent, the waiter didn't try to improvise but repeated the question.
The same wasn't the case in the theater; the character had a flexible set, so when Aakesh pushed the mother away, she began to make plans on how to sabotage him, forgetting about the usual goal.
Breaking the marriage was the end goal, but it didn't matter how it was reached. As the mother had said, Aakesh wasn't the only one. Once Aakesh was sentenced to death for his treason, it would be Lily or Khaval's turn to play the role of catalyst and break the marriage.
There was no survival in the trial. It was designed only to kill the summoned being.
Unfortunately for the challenge, Aakesh was someone who was always sentient and seemed to have expected the betrayal.
Anyone could see that the implementation plan to break the marriage was bound to fail, but Aakesh still went with it because he understood there was no end to the challenge. He simply wanted to break free, and that could only be done when he was on stage. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As Khaval had said, when he was seated on the chair, he couldn't move out unless he took the help of the system.
Lily and Khaval gaining freedom while being seated in their seats also had to do with Aakesh. Once Aakesh forced himself out, he became the center of focus, as could be seen from the stage and others in the audience directly looking at him.
Both Aakesh and the mother used each other, and now that Aakesh was free to move, it was time for him to leave the building.
