"One cripple and a coward, I didn't know why I expected anything else" he chuckled, King of Urcen moved towards Jacob and looked at him closely in the eye "You look too calm for someone who has seen half of his family betrays the other"
"Spilt milk," Jacob said detachedly, he never wanted to show any weakness. Jacob knew King of Urcen was not satisfied with his reaction.
King of Urcen held his stomach as he laughed "Haha! still arrogant even in the face of death, I will leave you with something you will never forget". It was the first time he met someone quite this interesting.
After his episode, King of Urcen slowly raised his hand and smacked in the shoulder.
It was a simple slap, the slap didn't kill him but the impact of the immense pain that went back and forth in his body.
Jacob's body was slightly rag-dolled but he was held in place, he was screaming from the internal pain, it felt like he was being pierced by a thousand needles, the slap rattled the gene foundation and it shattered depleting all his potential.
All his strength slowly seeped out of his body.
His body grew weak and his arms became frail.
He started becoming skinny, his physique was gone he degenerated into a normal person, the sudden change in his body but his organs into life-saving mode and they all slowed down and he passed out.
The audience watched up in awe as the genius they knew had just been crippled with a mere slap.
The King of Urcen turned around and loudly proclaimed "This child will be cursed with a life of misery, this child is not to receive care and should live with the shame of touching my son."
He finished then said "He should also not be killed, you are free to make his life as miserable as you wished, you will face no repercussions"
The crowd was in awe, there is no way for them to reply. King of Urcen went on to say, "Although I was not told of this being an execution, which isn't quite my taste, It has nothing to do with me so I will take my leave."
At the end of the day, I'm just doing what is best for my people, I don't agree with the way you do things He said as he looked over to Mo Zen's direction.
King of Urcen then took into the cloud where he unveiled another Dimensional stone and activated it, again a strange force surrounded all his people and they disappeared.
King of Urcen was not prepared to watch this, he just came to ensure he claimed his side of the deal and did not care to see needless killing in his midst.
"Then forgive me for letting you see this, It is regretful" Mo Zen said sincerely. There was a moment of silence in the crowd, later Mo Zen spoke out "Fear not everyone, this is my shepherd family problems and vows not to get you all into the mix of it, I promise you all today that we will do better to help everyone"
After those words, the elites from the other segan family departed and the crowd of people started to disperse in heated discussion or cursing. Some would curse Mo Zen for his disloyalty. But in reality, they were too weak to do anything.
Upon the stage, Mo Zen ordered some people to clean up the bodies off the execution stage.
"Father did they really have to be executed? I'm not questioning you or anything it's just" Mo Wen asked this but he was interrupted.
"Sigh, my son, You must see me as some kind of Monster, but when you are older, you will understand the true sins of the shepherd family, you're the only person I can trust to turn the family around, I won't be able to do so with my measly lifespan.
It saddens me that I have to burden you with this, but I hope you can trust me" Mo Zen seemed sad and sincere while keeping his meaning cryptic.
Mo Wen felt touched that his father thought about him in this way, he lived life thinking he wasn't enough. Now the future of the family would someday depend on him.
"Let us leave, We have a lot of work to do, we are going to be on the tip o the tongue of many news station drone will see what we're up to" Mo Zen turned and made him off the platform.
"Father wait" Mo Zen looked to his son and when he pointed toward Jacob "What should we do about him, should we still kill him?". Mo Zen looked at Jacob on the ground in scorn "Hmph, King of Urcen wanted him to suffer, now that I think about it, it's not a bad idea. Just leave him be I don't see how we will affect us"
Mo Wen looked back at him and thought "How the mighty have fallen, In your next life I hope you learn from your mistakes of this life". They both walked away leaving Jacob on the cold platform with the old blood of his elders. Some people walked by to look at how he was doing of curiosity.
The platform in the middle of the city became almost like an attraction site, looking at the supposed genius they wouldn't normally be able to see, now he was passed out on the ground and they were also told they would not be penalized chastising him.
Hours later, Jacob woke up to a loud bang, they came in perfect steady timing. The low thud got louder ad louder as he woke up from his stupor, as he looked through his vision was hazy.
He was immediately hit with something hard followed by some cursing "Fuck you piece of shit!". Jacob held his head when he looked, his vision was hazy but he was able to see that it was blood.
