My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse-Chapter 103 The Judgment
Kira stood in front of Justin and stared directly into his eyes.
"Can you tell me what is going on?" She asked slowly.
After the meeting, Justin hadn't left his room all day. No one had the confidence to speak to him.
Justin smiled and patted the seat beside him, indicating for her to take a seat.
Kira took a seat and stared at him, waiting for him to speak. Noticing her gaze, he chuckled and said slowly.
"Nothing is going on. I just had to think about the direction of the camp."
"I know we were forcefully brought together by the soul-bonding thing and we don't trust each other yet. Nevertheless— "
"I understand what you're trying to say. If I didn't have a bit of trust in you. I won't allow you into my room. " He said seriously.
A smile blossomed on Kira's face and her ear reddened. She took a deep breath before she said.
"Thanks for giving me a chance. So, what do you decide?"
"I don't know." Justin sighed and looked outside the window.
Kira moved closer to him and took his hand. "I know you feel betrayed by your friend. But as their leader, you let things go and prepare and plan for the future. Remember, you're the king."
"Huh!" Justin exhaled slowly and looked at Kira's smiling face.
"The thing is that being the king is harder than I thought. Can I undo being the king?" he asked with a light smile on his face.
"You wanna undo being the king. Are you kidding me!?" She exclaimed.
"Why are you screaming?" Justin widened his eyes.
"You're asking me why I'm screaming!?" Her voice raised another octave.
"Will you just stop screaming?" he reached out his hand and covered her mouth.
A muffled sound came from Kira's mouth as she widened her eyes. She tried to force Justin's hand from her mouth but it was futile.
"If you don't stop screaming, I won't remove my palm," Justin said smiling.
She struggled for a bit before she finally gave up. She rolled her eyes, saying fine.
Justin removes his hand slowly and he focuses his gaze directly into Kira's eyes. Staring deep into Kira's eyes, he felt a kind of force drawing him inside. The force was gentle, full of affection and love.
Kira held her breath and her brain was cloudy. She couldn't think straight. The fatal attraction in Justin's eyes forced her to tilt her head forward.
The distance between the two got closer and only a couple of inches separated their mouths.
The two were lost in the ocean of the pulling force of attraction. When their lips were about to meet. Justin blinked his eyes and regained some clarity. He thought for a moment before he finally moves his head forward
Their lips connected and a sudden current sparked throughout their body. They trembled and they separated their lips, staring at each other's eyes.
Their chest rises and falls while they maintain their gaze. Slowly their lips connected once more.
From a slow kiss to a deep kiss. Kira tilted her head to the side and their tongue entwined. Kira's hand snaked around Justin's neck, pulling him closer to her body while he moved his hand around her waist.
Justin pushed Kira and she fell lightly on the couch while they continued kissing. His hand traveled from her back to every part of her body, giving her chills and ecstasy.
She turned frantic and saliva escaped from the corner of their mouth. His hand found her cleavage and he squeezed it lightly. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
Hmm!
A slight moan escaped from Kira's mouth, pulling him a bit closer. She dug her hand inside his long hair, lost in ecstasy. One of her hands went under Justin's loose shirt and touched his chest.
She touched the well-chisel muscle and her palm roamed to every part of his chest in ecstasy.
Justin separated his lips from hers and he kissed her ear lobe. He snakes it down to her neck and collarbone. He fumbled with her breast once again, trying to get his hand inside her clothes.
Knock!
Suddenly, a knock came on the door and their beautiful moment was disturbed. Kira opened her slightly closed eyes and stared at Justin's face.
Knock!
The knock resounded again but a bit louder. Justin got up from Kira's top and straightened his clothes. He looked Kira straight in the eyes and she blushed, averting her gaze.
'What happened? How do we…' She bit her lips and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
"Who's there?" Justin asked.
"Nasir"
Justin opened the door and came out. Nasir stood beside the door and when he saw Justin, he gave him a slight bow.
"Sorry for disturbing you. But we need your answer. Everyone is not at peace not knowing your thoughts." He said.
"Hmm. Hmm." He nodded and departed.
Inside the conference room, everyone was present except for Merab, Grandpa Philip, and Kira.
Creak!
The door opened and Kira came in. She took a seat and avoided Justin's gaze. Justin glanced at her and chuckled.
He turned and looked at the people in front of him and sighed slightly.
"I have decided…" he paused a bit and everyone in the room held their breath.
"Everyone of you will lose a rank and previous contribution points. A First Circle will hunt 10 first-circle beasts while a second will hunt 10-second beasts and 20 first-circle beasts. All alone."
"You will stay outside and reflect on your decision. You will return to the camp when you complete your mission."
"Drop your hunt at the border of the camp. While also every resource you found outside. However, you can reduce your stay outside by providing something important to the camp. And I will be the judge of something important."
"Two people will leave at once while others will leave after the next 5 days."
"As for Mack…." He paused for a moment before he continued.
"He will have complete all the above missions"
"For this punishment, you have 5 days to complete it and Mack 10 days. your failure is complete exile."
Everyone in the room let out a sigh of relief. The past 24 hours have been a pain in the ass, full of regrets. Although the task was hard, it gave them hope and peace of mind.
Susan looked at Justin and said slowly "Thank you."
She didn't expect him to give Mack a second chance. The slight guilt in her heart has disappeared.
'If he couldn't complete this. Then, that is on him.' She thought.
Kira gave Justin a cursory look with a light smile on her lips. She was happy. She expected a harsh punishment from him but she did not.
As the only person in the camp that failed to concur with Susan plot to allow Mack inside the camp. She was free as a bird. If not for their soul connection and memory sharing, she also would have been a victim.
Howl!
Suddenly, a deafening howl came from the distance, shaking the heart of everyone to the core.
Immediately, Justin got on his feet and went to the window. An uneasiness appeared in his heart, looking at the direction of the howl.
He saw the sudden change in weather and knew something big was about to happen.
"It has arrived." He murmured.
"Nika put the camp on lockdown immediately." He commanded without looking back.
"Alright!" Nika stood and left with a large stride.
As a second Circle existence, his previous ghastly injuries from Justin had all healed up with the help of little medicine.
Everyone in the room looked at Justin, waiting for his comment. He left the window and returned to his seat.
"The second Nightmare has begun." He announced slowly.
The room was silent for a moment before Steven the pipe man broke the ice.
"What is a nightmare?" He asked.
"When powerful beasts are released and the period where all the zombies and beasts receive an extra boost in their power. I mean, level up." Susan answered.
"That's right. This won't be like the first nightmare. Something different has arrived on earth."
"Something different?" Kira creased her brow.
"Yes. But I don't know what it is but we have five hours before the nightmare finally begins. Justin said seriously.
Everyone sucks in a cold breath. Chloe and Nasir looked at each other and their backs were drenched in cold sweats. They understood what a nightmare means in a real sense.
"Who are those outsides?" Justin asked.
"Grandpa Philip, Merab, the defense team, and the new group that just us. They went to the hidden warehouse to try their luck."
"Susan. You and Mack should go assist them. Everyone should return immediately."
Susan was surprised for a second and stared at Justin with her mouth slightly aghast.
Justin turned to look at her and chuckled. "As the king, do you think I don't know what is going on under my nose?"
"Depart immediately."
"Alright!" She stood up, giving Justin a slight bow, and departed.
This was not because she feared him but that of respect. She understood what just happened and it made her happy.
