Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 266: Shhh...

The Demon posed a demand.

A weird demand.

"What?" The King asked for confirmation.

"I want everything to be broadcasted and I won’t say it the third time."

The Demon repeated his demand and the King won’t ask it again.

"Do what he says." Pablo spoke as well.

The King nodded and took out his Receiver.

He then proceeded to touch some buttons and soon, one big eyeball came out from the ground.

’Is this the Camera?’

Pablo found the eyeball convenient and cliche for being a camera and a screen presented itself on the castle of the King.

And not just that, everywhere around the Kingdom , wherever there were screens, the current scene was being shown.

The Demon was visible to everyone.

"Why did he ask for this?" The King whispered to Pablo.

"He just wants to show off." Pablo knew the reason.

The floating eyeball stayed in one place and it covered each corner of the glory city.

Everything was being broadcasted to everyone present in the whole Kingdom.

"What is that?"

"Is something wrong?"

"What is going on there?"

"What about the attack on the Village?"

"What about the mist?"

All the residents of the Kingdom saw the scene in front of the King’s castle and they were left with questions.

Everyone knew the soldiers were going inside the Forsaken village to deal with the mist today because of the pamphlet and it had been only a few hours.

People didn’t believe that it would take only a few hours to deal with the mist and they were also sure that there were no soldiers being broadcasted on their screens.

They could only see a few people and one bizarre person.

Though, when they paid attention on the screen, they recognized someone.

"It’s the King!"

"What is he doing there?"

People recognized their King even without his robes and crown and this only made them more curious.

In every city of the Forza kingdom there were screens and everyone naturally paid attention to it.

Everyone including Draxus and Flashy too.

Draxus was on a mission of his own and he sure as hell wasn’t expecting to see Pablo on a screen.

"You reached the King, czar. But at what cost."

Flashy was the same as Draxus.

His mission was to kill the Duke of Numb city but he forgot about that when he saw Pablo.

"What kind of mission did you take, Boss?"

And just like these people, there was one screen in all the slums too.

One such slum was Hermit, where Pablo’s slaves and the residents of Forsaken village were currently residing.

Every one of them were inside the haunted house.

They were all sitting on the hall of the house, their eyes were on the screen placed on the wall.

"Where is the Chief?"

"What’s the detective doing there?"

"What happened to the mist?"

"Keep watching." The eldest slave, Nike, made the villagers quiet.

The villagers weren’t afraid of the house anymore as the slaves had made them believe that the house was safe.

But more than the haunted house, they were afraid of the thing they were seeing on the screen.

"What is that hideous thing?" One villager asked.

"We will know soon enough. Just stay quiet." Nike said again.

The villagers went silent and Nike just hoped Pablo returns alive.

The slaves had yet to see the world.

The whole kingdom’s eyes were on the screens and on the people standing in front of the King’s castle.

They wanted to know what was going on.

And it was the responsibility of the King to tell them.

So he began.

"People of Forz-"

"Shut up. I will speak."

The Demon had other plans.

The King shut his mouth and the Demon looked straight into the floating eyeball.

"Hello, people. I am a Demon and I am here to kill all the Royals."

The Demon did his introduction and his face and voice was enough for everyone to face dread through the screen.

"Many of the Royals are already dead and after I kill only these people, this kingdom will be mine."

The Demon laughed out loud.

"Your King and only four high dukes are standing in front of me and some people from the military as well. They are the last line of defense this city has. After they are dead, it’s all me."

The Demon revealed the current situation to everyone, he entirely ignored Pablo and he wasn’t finished.

"All of you can see this because I wanted you all to see me. The royals had destroyed a slum five years ago and I was summoned out of hatred just to kill the Royals. My existence here is all for the destruction of the Royals. And they will surely die today. And you all should know that your King is also a royal so he shall also perish today."

Everyone exclaimed but they didn’t get to express their shock.

"Therefore, after the death of everyone in this city, only I will be left alive and since there will be no King for this kingdom, it’s only me who will reign supreme here. This broadcast will serve as proof that I am strong. With this, you can see that I am worthy. Today, in front of all your eyes, you all will witness a new King. This kingdom will now have…"

The Demon spread his arms and in a frenzied laughter, he ended his speech.

"A Demon King."

The Being declared his intentions and everyone successfully panicked.

The current King jerked his head at Pablo.

"Now what?"

"Do you have your stamp? Like a seal of some sorts." Pablo asked.

The King nodded many times. He even took it out.

Pablo also nodded and took out three papers from his bracelet.

"Stamp at them."

He showed them to the King.

They were blank and the King, without any thought, stamped the end of the paper.

Pablo stored the papers back inside his bracelet and he even took the stamp from the King and stored it as well.

The King didn’t mind that as he was eager.

"How will that save us?" He asked.

"It won’t."

"What? Then why did you do that?"

"Will tell later."

The King clenched his jaw. He was about to curse Pablo but…

"Alright. That’s enough chit chat. Get ready to die." The Demon interrupted the King.

"Wait a minute." Rower spoke.

SWISH!

"Shhh…"

The Demon arrived in front of Rower’s face, his finger on Rower’s lips.

"Don’t talk to your King like this, Vermin."

BANG!

Rower didn’t get to reply as the Demon punched the high duke.

And no genius was needed to know that the real fight began or perhaps…

The Final Fight.
