Chapter Twenty-one

“You have a lot of questions to ask me, don't you? Fire on, I'll give you the reply you want and need to hear” he said, at that point I knew I couldn't lie anymore, my secret was out that I was questioning him, I was the real scapegoat for others, but if I could know what he was maybe I could find a way to salvage my victory even before I die, this was a ninety to one situation, where I was obviously going to lose, but I had to give it a shot, luck had a lucky way of turning things around, that's if I got lucky.

“ I want to know who you are. What are you? Who exactly are you?” I asked, and he looked at me and laughed, I could see everyone whispering that I was dead but I knew he wouldn't kill me like that, at least not yet, he wanted to use this medium to instill fear in everyone around him and that's why he's doing all these, I can see it in his face he has propagated and built this world with only one thing and that's fear, but with time fear depreciates the only way one can maintain it is to rebuild the fear and show those who he wants to fear him, just to keep the people in check, that's what propagation of fear is.

“I like you, you have balls. You have asked the question that no one dared ask me for a long time, I would tell you all the answers to the question.”

He said, “I am a god, I have the power of a god, I behave like a god and I live as a god. You all are ants when it comes to being like me, I have a lot of things I've done, I came here when everything was in ruins, and I have turned it into the most profitable business yet. No one, can stop me, I know you think I'm a Lycan or I'm a wizard, but I'm greater than both, I am a supreme being that none of you riffraff would dare go against me because you're scared” he said and brought out a knife.

“I can kill'' he continued and he moves to one of the guys sitting and slit his throat, and “I can let you live, I am the strongest being there has ever been and none of you, not even in your wildest dream can be compared to a god like me.” He said and went back to his seat, leaving everywhere stained with blood in his hands.

“Did that answer your question?” He said, “Yes' ' I replied. “Do you have any more questions?” He said, “Yes I do.” And he laughed, “Do you not feel scared?” He asked, “Yes I do, and that's why I ask you all these questions to conquer my fear.” I replied, without looking at him or looking scared. “Go on, tell me what it is.” He said.

“it is definitely possible to conquer a peak by being a god, but a god doesn't kill for a little profit, a god would target a richer and wealthier clan and kill just to take all that belongs to them to sustain their life as a god. So why is it that all the people you kill are small groups of people.” I said, without looking fazed or intimidated. “you are amazing, I can see that. And you're smart, very smart, but what if the god, took requests from the strong to engage the weak.” he whispered to my ears, and that was when I knew his weakness, he was only weak and trying to act strong, emotionally weak people tend to behave the way he was being, a true god would be a genius and in a way no one would see his weakness but I've always felt it.

There's a way we could defeat him. I knew that now and I was going to do it, without turning back. I just had to get the others on my side and make sure we executed it perfectly. Everything I asked was a trap and he fell for it without a glitch, now all that's left is to leave without a scar and get myself and the others out of this prison of falsehood, a fence is not to propagate fear to the people going in but, built of the fear of the people coming in. Iguro is only a scaredy cat, who needs people to shelter him so he could feel safe.

All this facade was just to be safe on his own and he had just told me his greatest secret, his source of wealth, a god would never be used he would rather use a person.

I felt sorry for those who had lived in this falsehood for so long, and weren't able to get out of it this is how far he gets I'm now in the game, I can take him out and have Brielle back wherever he kept her or so I thought, “Now for the greatest twist of the night, the real ceremony, the wedding that I promised you all is here, now's the time for you all to brace yourselves for the unexpected cause my bride is alluring.” He said, my odd feelings started coming back, the bride he talked of it was possible it was Brielle and that would be a big blow to me, I kept on praying in my mind just for it not to be Brielle, but Iguro had a special surprise all day for me, the thin line between love and power stood and now I had to choose one.

If I chased the girl I would get killed and lose in the end, but if I waited to chase him then he'd kill Brielle eventually, he had this all planned out even before I talked about him.
