Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 286: Kindest

Pablo threw Rural in the same flames that he had created himself.

The King and Pablo watched Rural’s dead body getting burned and a crowd was gathering around as well.

"Helppppppp!"

"Someoneee!"

Cries came out from the fire and they fell on deaf ears of Pablo and the King.

"He died because of his Ego?" The King asked.

"Yes. I don’t want people to know that I ordered the death of most of the Royals. He was a witness so I killed him."

The King wiped his sweat from his forehead. He finally understood the depth of malevolence.

Pablo killed someone who had nothing to do with him.

Rural was just a guard. He wasn’t against Pablo. Pablo didn’t hate him as well. But he still killed the guard just because he followed Pablo’s orders.

So, if Pablo could burn someone whom he had nothing to do with, then what would he do with someone whom he knew well.

The King shuddered at the thought and his loyalty to Pablo found a new resolve.

People gathered around the burning hall and Pablo decided it was time.

"Alright. I am leaving for the camp. The military will declare results after three months just like it said. One month is over so only two months are left."

"Alright. But what should I do about this? Many Royals died today. People will demand answers." The King asked.

"This fire was an accident as the Demon had set up his magic in this hall to kill people even after his death. And the royals were just unlucky to have a meeting at this hall."

"Okay. I will say that word to word." The King accepted Pablo’s statement.

"Also," Pablo added. "Make sure no one stays alive. Everyone who is inside should be dead."

"As you wish." The King just accepted it.

Pablo patted the King’s back and finally turned around.

He kept his face hidden inside the black cloth and passed through the crowds of people watching the burning hall.

He soon reached the exit of the Glory city and kept walking.

"Who are you?" The guard standing at the gate stopped Pablo.

Pablo just showed his face and the guard instantly moved out of the way.

"Forgive me, my lord."

The guards bowed and Pablo did a little wave of his hands.

He walked past the gate and he was finally outside the Glory city.

"No need for this anymore."

Pablo threw away the cloth.

In front of him, a luxurious carriage was waiting.

Pablo liked the King’s generosity.

The carriage driver was holding out the door for Pablo and without any delay, Pablo sat inside the carriage.

"Where to, my lord?" The driver asked.

"First, Hermit slums."

"As you say."

The driver whipped the horses and the carriage began moving.

Pablo finally took his leave from the Glory city.

Though, he would need to visit it again in the future.

The carriage crossed all three gates at the security with no problem and the guards stationed there bowed their heads all the way.

As he left the three gates, the surroundings went silent.

Only the sound of the carriage moving came and Pablo rested his head at the back of the seat.

He closed his eyes and would wait for the hermit slums to arrive.

However, a question arose in his mind.

’How will those ghosts know that the Royals responsible for their deaths, died?’

The ghosts couldn’t leave the haunted house and they had no way of knowing what happened inside the Glory city. So how would they achieve the afterlife?

"As soon as all those Royals die, they will get to know it." Someone answered and only Pablo heard that.

It was obviously Cupid, Pablo’s personal Angel.

’How will they know it though?’ Pablo asked.

"They wish for the death of those Royals so when it will happen, they will leave this world on their own. The ghosts will finally free. You did something good this time."

Pablo laughed. ’I just killed. Good thing happened on its own.’

Cupid said nothing and the journey carried on in silence.

After a few minutes, just as Cupid said, the Ghosts got to know about the deaths of the Royals.

Pablo had no idea about it.

He had his eyes closed inside the carriage and was enjoying the comfort.

"Big brother."

Pablo jolted up.

Before he could express his shock, he understood what was up.

In front of him, all the ghosts were gathered. All of them.

Jenny was standing in the front along with Plato and other ghosts.

"It’s you guys." Pablo said.

"Thank you, big brother. We sensed our wish was fulfilled and only you could have done it. You freed us all."

Jenny hugged Pablo.

Pablo sighed. "I promised you all so of course I did it. Now you can rest in peace."

Jenny was a ghost but she can touch someone if she wants and she could be touched as well.

"Thank you. I hope this is the last time we are meeting." Jenny said.

Pablo chuckled. "Yes. I won’t die."

Jenny stopped hugging but she stayed by Pablo’s side.

Pablo then looked at some other ghost.

"Are you also moving? You didn’t want the royals’ death so how come you are also free?"

Pablo asked Plato, the son of Socrates.

Plato didn’t die because of the Royals so Pablo wasn’t sure why he was also with the ghosts of the children.

"I wanted all the villagers to go back to their village. And you made it happen." Plato revealed.

"Oh. So they already went to the village? Well, I have been asleep for five days. They must have gone back during that."

"They waited for your return but your girlfriend told them to go. There was one villager left but he also went back today. The rest your girlfriend will tell you."

"She is not my girlfriend."

"Oh yes. Sorry. Your wife. That’s what she was saying."

Pablo shook his head. He couldn’t argue anymore.

Plato was already going away anyway.

"Well, have a safe journey." Pablo said goodbye.

All the ghosts nodded and this time, all of them kneeled.

"Thank you very much, big brother Pablo."

All of them said the same thing. Even Plato called Pablo big brother.

Pablo showed them a smile and that was the last thing the ghosts saw before finally disappearing.

Pablo watched them vanishing and his eyes fell on Jenny.

Jenny had tears in her eyes and she was becoming transparent by every passing second.

But before finally disappearing, she dedicated her final words to Pablo :

"You were the kindest person I met, big brother. Please never change."
