"Brother, are we really going to their houses?" Rosy asked as she and Zed got out of the school's gates.
"Of course."
"What are you going to do to that?"
Zed looked at Rosy, who was looking at him, and smiled before he turned his head to the front and continued walking. "What do you want me to do?"
"I-I don't know. I don't know what they deserve for doing this. The law here states that sexual harassment can get you prison for some years." Rosy hesitantly answered.
"Laws, huh…" Zed muttered and chuckled. "Rosy, let me give you an example of the law. Two young men in their twenties rapes a girl and even kill her. The police, before they could fully investigate, were bribed because those two men had powerful backgrounds, so the investigation stopped."
"The laws become useless there."
"Another example. A man had been raping girls with his unique method of kidnapping them, and after doing the deed, he let them go, but he also killed some of them. The girls are never able to see his face. One time, he got caught in a sexual harassment case, and the police found that he was a serial killer. But they don't have enough evidence against him, and the serial killer turns out to have a good backing with his family having ties in the politics of the city. He escaped the law in broad daylight with the state sponsoring the false, twisted facts."
Rosy ground her teeth in anger.
"After hearing these two things, what did you learn about laws?"
Rosy thought for a moment and answered. "The laws…are catered to powerful people?"
Zed laughed. "Exactly. So Rosy, forget about what those four deserve. Don't waste your time thinking about what is law and punishment are for their crimes."
"Just know this." Zed paused and grabbed her hands gently, looking straight into her eyes. "Whatever I decide for others is the final law. If I did something, they deserved it. Because I did it knowingly and willingly."
Zed's eyes sharpened. "The people of the slum we lived in were subjected to the laws of that slum lord because he had the power and influence to make them. So know that the only useful laws in this world are those you create for yourself, for your survival, for your dignity."
"Got it?"
Rosy nodded. "I got it."
"Then let's go eat something first. When the sun goes down, those who touched you will go down."
…
Zed and Rosy took a cab to a restaurant and ate. He had been called from Tomen, but he didn't pick up any.
And then, after he was done eating, he called Tomen.
[ Zed: What's up? ]
[ Tomen: What is going on? I thought I would hear from the school based on what the maid said, that you were angry and were going to storm in, but I didn't get any calls of complaint. Did you handle it already? ]
Zed chuckled.
[ Zed: Of course. I handled it perfectly. You don't need to worry. We'll be back by ten o'clock. ]
[ Tomen: Good. The whole family will be present tonight, so we'll eat together once you return. ]
[ Zed: That's perfect. We'll also watch a show while eating. I know a new one that's going to launch its first episode tonight. ]
After talking with uncertain and curious Tomen, not telling him what he did at school, Zed and Rosy left and took another cab.
"Why are we going to the mountains?" Rosy curiously asked, her eyes sparking. "Are you…going to magically bring them there with your powers like how you sent me away? Can you really teleport anywhere and anyone?"
"Yep." Zed smiled. "Let's stop here. This is a good ground."
They were three kilometers deep into the Ridgeline Forest. Past this forest was a huge ridge that separated City D1 from City V1 of Lionesia Country.
City D1 was more advanced in foundation and development, as indicated by its fourth letter of the alphabet.
Surveillance was high, not just to spot crimes, but also to let certain criminals, the so-called normal people criminals who get away from their family's influence and power, like the ones who harassed Rosy.
But today, the city was going to be terrified. Particularly, the people who think they can get away with anything were going to get a certain chill into their blood.
[ The idea is indeed perfect, My lord. You can farm U.R points by killing the trash and also spread your influence to shape this world. You will soon find out a different way of U.R points once you finish executing this plan you made. ]
Zed grinned. 'I am looking forward to it.'
Zed and Rosy arrived in the center of an open ground near a pond. Due to animals, both small and big, frequenting this place in herds, the ground was smooth and leveled.
The trees in the surrounding and clear night sky filled with stars made for a good scenery.
But not for some people.
"Let's bring them here."
Zed snapped his finger. 'Bring the boys who harassed Rosy here, on a wooden stake I am envisioning. Naked.'
78 U.R points consumed.
'Teleporting really costs a lot, eh?'
[ Indeed. It is based on distance, number of targets, the target's existential power in relation to you, and your own power. ]
'So if I get stronger, the cost will go down?'
[ Yes, my lord. ]
"This…" Rosy was startled and amazed at the result of Zed's power.
At once, the four boys who had harassed her appeared on a big wooden cross stake, their limbs bound with tight ropes.
"W-What the fuck?!"
"You guys…what is going on? Why are we naked here?!"
"I was at home fucking eating! But I am here in a blink?! What the fuck?!
"Look there, down!"
The stakes were pretty as Zed made them to be, fifteen meters tall, so the two sixteen and sseventeen-year-oldboys boys didn't see Zed and Rosy at first.
All they saw was big trees and cold wind hitting them.
"You…"
When they saw Rosy, they were taken aback.
"Welcome to hell, you pieces of trash. I took the liberty of reading your past, and damn…" Zed sighed. "Just out of the womb, and already destroying lives."
Rosy turned to Zed. "What did they do, brother?"
"These guys raped a girl for three months in that school, but kept everything under wraps with the help of the school and quietly sent the girl and her family to a different city, giving them money and threats both."
"But they didn't stop there." Zed's eyes turned icy. "They quietly had the small family of three killed in an accident on the road."
Rosy's fist clenched, her eyes pained. "Why are they so bad? They have everything in life, but still…"
"W-What are you doing to us?!"
"Release us at once, or you're dead!"
"But h-how did you bring us here…"
Zed grinned. "You're stupid fools. Today is your end."
"But it won't be just you."
Snap!
In the next moment, the parents and blood-siblings of all four also appeared, turning the ground into a scene of a horror movie where fifteen people of varying ages were tied onto giant fifteen-meter-tall stakes, completely naked, limbs tightly tied with ropes, and biting wind hitting them.
Rosy suddenly saw a mask appearing on her face and looked at Zed to see that he also had a mask. It was eccentrically black with golden patterns, and extended two eccentric horns outward, a long horizontal curve before pointing upward.
'Is my mask also the same?' Rosy touched her mask and felt the horns, but hers were differently shaped and smaller.
'How is brother doing all this with a snap of his finger?'
Rosy was awestruck.
"Now then, let's start the show." Zed pointed to the empty ground to the side.
Floating lights and a camera appeared before angling towards the thirteen naked people high up.
The newcomers were terrified and were hysterical, so they didn't even hear Zed's voice, but the lights soon attracted them.
Zed also enhanced his voice with Ki next and spot.
"You all will appear on television." Zed's enhanced laughter rang. "Better act properly, folks!"
The people saw Zed and Rosy with their masks below and were even more terrified.
What the hell was going on?!
"Let's start with the burning toes questions. If you don't quickly answer, you will lose your legs in ten seconds." Zed grinned behind his mask. "Speak fast, clear, and loud, okay?"
