The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1416: A chilling message
When daybreak came, just as Klaus had engineered it, the bodies of all 17 assassins were found, each showing signs of a violent death.
News quickly spread everywhere like a storm. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
In an instant, everyone became aware of the perpetrator. However, despite knowing Klaus killed all these people, there was just no way they could do anything to him.
Everyone was aware there was a bounty on his head, so when people turned up dead going after him, it fell under self-defense. But even if someone took offense and demanded justice for the death of a friend or family member, this was Planet Yahmir; the rules do not work here.
Of course, many actually took offense and demanded Klausโs death. Some even went to the hotel he was staying in to demand justice.
However, the hotel did not allow them entry since on Planet Yahmir, one good thing about hotels is that even if a criminal who had committed mass murder booked a room, for as long as they remained in the hotel, they would be protected.
Unfortunately for them, this hotel was owned by an Immortal King, and since Immortal Kings were the strongest on Planet Yahmir, nobody wanted to mess with him.
However, just like yesterday, when the clock struck 7 a.m., Klaus walked out like he had not just committed a series of murders a few hours ago.
"You bastard, give me my brotherโs life back!" a Real Immortal shouted, his sword gleaming blue as he lunged at Klaus from the right just as he stepped out of the building.
Klaus stopped and turned toward him. Seeing the furious look on his attackerโs face, He smiled weakly and waved his hand.
To everyoneโs dismay, a formation materialised on the ground, and just when the Real Immortal was four meters away, chains burst out and grabbed hold of his limbs.
In an instant, his body was brought to a halt.
Gasps spread everywhere, thousands taking steps back. Because of the high-profile persons involved in the overnight massacre, many wanted to see how Klaus would handle the fallout.
Seeing how he easily immobilised the Real Immortal, all who wanted to take advantage of the moment had a change of heart.
Klaus walked toward the Real Immortal, and when he was close enough, he asked, "Which one of them was your brother? I happen to have killed quite a lot, so they all turn blurry."
"You bastard. Let go of me and face me in a fair fight."
Klaus scoffed. "Fair fight? Are you trying to make me laugh?" He actually laughed.
"You are one funny loser, arenโt you? I have categorically told everyone what would happen if they came against me, yet they did not listen. Even now, there are some here who still think 10 billion Heaven Crystals is far more valuable than their lives.
Personally, I do not mind doing the work of the Grim Reaper by transporting their souls to the underworldโthat is, if they are worthy of having such an easy death." A grin appeared on his face.
He extended his hand, and white flames manifested in his palm. "Since today happens to be a good day for me, I will use you to send a second message, one that I hope with every fibre of my being will resonate with all.
I have never done anything wrong aside from existing. I was happy living my life, only for a whole Supreme to think I am someone else. Now, I am being forced to kill just to keep my life.
While it is shocking how some of you are stupid, unable to see the scheme the Warrior Tower is cooking by pairing criminals together, all in the name of 10 billion Heaven Crystals, I want to live, so despite knowing they want us to kill each other, if you come after me, I will kill you.
Or do you think I would come to this planet without preparing, knowing an entire Supreme wants me dead to prove a point ?"
A look of contempt appeared on his face as he took one last step toward the Real Immortal and pressed his palm against his chest.
The white flame seeped into his chest and invaded his soul in an instant.
"AaaaarrhHHHHH!" his scream spread to everyone as Klaus cooked his soul with the Soul-Fury Flame. In under a minute, he could not handle it, so he died, his soul forever extinguished.
He turned and looked at everyone with pity. "Even if you are born stupid, at least know that the Righteous Faction wants to use me to kill most of you. They posted a bounty on my head, so I have no choice but to kill those who would come after me.
However, now that you know and still think coming against me is what you want, you are welcome to try. Until then, get the fuck out of my way before I start a massacre this planet will never forget."
With the display of absolute power, he walked away, heading in the direction of the Arena, where the rest of the battles would take place.
They all could only watch as he walked away.
This time, his words seemed to resonate with them. They began to see the errors of their ways, and some who had come for the same reason as the 17 dead began to change their minds.
"There is just no way a fellow criminal would post such a huge bounty on a mere Early Immortal, even if he is Blood Sword.
This means we were indeed played by the Righteous Faction, and that pisses me off. Looks like we have to send a message back to them."
"Yes. We have to tell them that messing with the Underworld comes at a cost."
"That is indeed a good move."
Many started calling out the Warrior Tower for its shamelessness. In fact, they all wanted to go to war with the Warrior Tower for causing the death of 17 True Immortals who, over the years, had built a solid reputation in the criminal underworld.
Twenty minutes after Klaus sent the second message, an anonymous account originating from the Demon Universe uploaded a list on the dark web containing the names of 120 warrior spies that had been planted in the underworld.
Consequently, all 120 were under the command of Supreme Elder Juo. When this list went viral, every criminal in the universe who had seen it started hunting the names.
A day later, over 40 had been killed and uploaded to the dark web. The rest went into hiding, while some decided to snitch to save their lives.
To add insult to injury, 14 hours after the list appeared, a Supreme-level crime boss announced that he would be assassinating 10 gods from the Warrior Tower.
This announcement shook the Warrior Tower, leaving many in fear. It turned out that Klausโs words resonated so deeply that a Supreme who is known for doing many bad things decided to fight back.
Klaus, who used two hours to engineer this whole thing, returned from the Arena with a smile on his lips. He never expected a Supreme to take up his offer without even asking.
He only wanted to injure Supreme Elder Juo by killing his spies. However, now that a Supreme had stepped in, he knew his days of being a criminal were about to skyrocket.
"Ah, there is nothing better than a plan..."
"Coming together,"
His sentence was ended by someone else, causing Klaus to jerk up from the bed.
