Gods of Destruction

Chapter 10 You deserve to die

As nightfall gradually enveloped the small town, what had been a somewhat noisy place grew quiet.In the city lord's residence:The lights were dim, casting a bright glow over the courtyard. Several tables were set with delicious dishes.Although Nasser Reza and the others had initially intended to decline the feast, they could not resist Kamal's persistent invitations and eventually agreed."Ladies and gentlemen, today, thanks to the timely intervention of the three young heroes, we were able to save this young lady from the tyranny of Farid and his accomplice. You have removed a great menace from our city. On behalf of everyone in the city, I express our heartfelt gratitude to you," Kamal said.Kamal stood up, raised his glass, and said generously, "Come, let me toast to the three young heroes."With that, Kamal took a large gulp from his glass and drank it all.Nasser Reza and the others felt they could not refuse and also picked up their glasses. However, Hina only took a small sip.The white liquor, with its slight spiciness, flowed down Nasser Reza's throat into his stomach. Immediately, he felt a warm sensation spreading through his body, even making his blood feel as if it were boiling.It was Nasser Reza's first experience with alcohol, and he quickly grew to enjoy the sensation that came with the liquor entering his stomach.However, the three of them did not notice that after Kamal watched them drink from their glasses, a trace of barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.After several rounds of toasts, Abbas, Nasser Reza, and Hina suddenly felt a strong wave of dizziness assault their minds. Their bodies lost all strength, and with a soft thud, they collapsed onto the table.The three quickly realized what had happened, and their faces darkened immediately.Although Shirin had not consumed any alcohol, seeing Nasser Reza and the others helplessly sprawled on the table, her face turned pale with fear."The wine is poisoned," Nasser Reza said weakly."Hahaha!"Kamal finally tore away the false smile he had been wearing. Pointing at Nasser Reza and the others, he laughed maniacally, "Damn it, you three clueless kids really thought I would host a banquet for you? Let me tell you, the person you killed today was my nephew—my own nephew! Even if you have extraordinary talent and some strength, what does it matter? In the end, you still fell into my hands! Hahaha!"With that, Kamal grew even more smug and laughed more recklessly. His subordinates echoed his sentiments, laughing loudly as well."Your Excellency, you are truly wise. I admire you.""Your Excellency is so resourceful. With just a little trick, you managed to capture these three who came to our city and acted recklessly. We are truly in awe.""Our city is truly fortunate to have someone like Kamal as its lord.""Bastard, despicable, and shameless!"Unable to hold back his anger, Abbas cursed loudly and tried to get up to fight Kamal, but ultimately, he could only collapse helplessly back onto the table.Hearing Abbas's curse, Kamal responded with a mocking smile, "Heh, what did you say? Bastard, despicable, and shameless? You're right. I am a bastard, I am despicable, I am a scoundrel. But it's precisely because I am a bastard, because I am despicable, and because I am a scoundrel that I can sit in the position of city lord. You are righteous, you are kind, but in the end, you still fell into my hands."Then, Kamal paused for a moment, his gaze carrying a hint of mockery as he looked at Nasser Reza and the others, who were helplessly sprawled on the table. "Tell me, after you lose your lives tonight for saving this girl, how many people in this city will remember your act of justice? I'll tell you, in this world, only people like me, scoundrels, can thrive better.""Heh heh, these two young women are indeed quite attractive. It's a pity that you two won't get to enjoy them; instead, they'll be mine," Kamal leered, openly displaying the lust in his eyes.Nasser Reza and Abbas's eyes seemed to shoot flames; they wished they could break his bones, tear him apart, and devour him alive. At the same time, endless regret spread through them, lamenting their trust in Kamal's deceit and falling into his trap."Bastard!""Shameless!"Nasser Reza and Abbas roared.Hina, however, looked at Kamal with a cold gaze, her eyes showing no sign of emotional fluctuation."Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be an ice-cold beauty. Very nice, I do like women like you," Kamal leered as he approached Hina, reaching out his dirty hand towards her delicate face."Bastard, what do you think you're doing? It was me and Nasser Reza who killed your nephew. If you have any guts, come at me!" Abbas shouted at Kamal.Seeing Kamal extend his dirty hand towards Hina, Nasser Reza and Abbas's eyes nearly burst with rage. They burned with anger, wishing they could cut off his hand and then tear him to pieces."Come at me if you want," Kamal said with a smirk. "After you've witnessed how I toy with this ice-cold beauty, I'll send you to hell. Hahaha. How does it feel to see the woman you admire being toyed with right in front of you? Hahaha."Kamal laughed maniacally, his dirty hand moving even faster towards Hina's delicate face, his eyes filled with even more lust."Bastard! Kamal, old dog, you scum, let her go! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Abbas roared, his eyes tinged with bloodlust.However, Kamal paid no heed to Abbas's furious shouts.Shirin's pupils constricted, her delicate face filled with terror, and her body trembled uncontrollably from fear."They were targeted by Kamal because they saved me. The situation turned out like this all because of me. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been schemed against. It's all because of me."This thought echoed repeatedly in Shirin's mind.Seeing Kamal's filthy hand getting closer to Hina, Shirin suddenly found an unknown strength in her frail body. She leaped forward, swatting Kamal's reaching hand away and then shielding Hina."Shirin!"Nasser Reza and Abbas were astonished. They hadn't expected that Shirin, who seemed so fragile and terrified, would have such courage.In that moment, Shirin, whom they had just met, truly entered the hearts of Nasser Reza, Abbas, and Hina."Hehe, what's the matter? Little girl, anxious? Don't worry, I'll take good care of you two little beauties. But since you're so eager, I'll reluctantly grant your wish and enjoy you both, hahaha.""Shirin, take Hina and go," Nasser Reza shouted."Go? Hehe," Kamal sneered. "This is my residence. All around are my people. Where are you going?"Immediately, Kamal extended his hands, reaching directly for Shirin and Hina, a lewd smile curling at the corner of his mouth."After I'm done playing, these two little beauties will be a gift for you all," Kamal said to his subordinates.Kamal's men erupted in cheers: "Thank you, Lord Kamal!""Bastard!"Abbas and Nasser Reza glared at Kamal, their eyes bloodshot, and boundless hatred spread wildly in their gazes.Kamal's hands were mere inches away from Hina and Shirin's delicate faces. Shirin shut her eyes tight, but she still stood rigidly in front of Hina, refusing to move an inch.Just then, from behind Shirin, came a voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air, devoid of any emotion:"You deserve to die"
