Inside the conference room, everywhere was silent as the atmosphere was deadly still. Everyone held their breath and looked at each other with various thought running through their minds.

Whoosh!

Suddenly a blinding light appeared inside the room and everyone closed their eyes. And when they open their eyes, a young man with a golden long hair sat at the most decorated chair like a throne.

"Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and bowed.

"Sit"

Everyone to their seat as they wait for you the king to speak. Inside the room, William was sweaty with his palm trembling under the table. He looked at the Susan direction for help only to met her cold expressionless gaze.

Moreover, everyone was surprised when they saw the additional person inside the conference room. Leah.

Even they couldn't question Justin, they still wondered how Leah go the right to attend such a meeting. Nevertheless, there was a more pressing issue than the appearance of Leah. Mack and Robert betrayal.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Everyone held their breath and dare not looked at Justin direction and could only look at their hands.

Even though Justin didn't say a name, everyone knew who he was talking to — Williams.

Williams back was already reached in cold sweats. He had cursed all the 10th generation of both Mack and Robert.

'Those idiot. Why would be a friend of those stupid ignorant asshole.' He wanted to cry but their was no tears in his eyes.

"I-I-I don't have anything…to… say" William said with a trembling voice.

It was no news that Justin was an unpredictable existence on the ark. And his words are the law. Besides, everyone love and respect a lot since they received the heavenly mark. Thus, they turned into a God in their heart.

"So you don't know about the treacherous plot?"

"If I said I wasn't aware. That would be a lie. But never in my widest dream did I think they go with the plan. I only they have such fantasy… who in his right mind would leave this…" He looked at the ark and sighed. "I underestimate the darkness hidden in Mark heart." His voice dropped a couple of decibel as everyone could heard the sorrow in his voice.

Of all the people, he was the most shocked and also the one that hurt the most. Others may not know, he and Mack were closer than anyone else in the Royal group. When they were young, the two decided who they were going to marry. And behold, he chose Isla while Mack choose Susan.

Unfortunately both of their dream of marrying the girl of their dream never came to past. Isla used him to get stronger, while Susan didn't acknowledge him and now, he betrayed Susan.

'Huh' He sighed for the umpteenth time as he shake his head in sorrow.

Justin only looked at Mack for a moment before he averted his gaze and looked at Susan.

"What do you have to say?"

Hearing this, Susan clenched her fist under the table and looked at Kira, sitting opposite her. Even though she knew Justin trust her, she knew she had to convince others she knew nothing about Mack's betrayal.

"I don't have anything to say. Since they are connected to me. I won't question any punishment you give me." She said without expression on her face.

Huh!

Everyone sucked in a cold breath as they look at her. The old member among them knew their was certain closeness between her, Kira and Justin. Everyone knew Kira was Justin woman but they never understand the obscure relation of the three. Nevertheless, Susan was strong member of the Ark and receiving punishment of what she didn't commit was out of the question. Alas…

Justin was a man they can't understand. Perhaps, she knew he would punish her that's why she was readily asking for the punishment.

"Why should I punish you?" Justin void wasn't loud but everyone inside room could hear his voice. And his voice don't contain any form of annoyance.

And thus, the people sighed in relief. Punishing her would make the people lost some respect for him and hence they never wish for that to happen.

"Be part of Genesis Ark is a blessing but also a curse." He began slowly.

Everyone inside the room perked their ear as they listen with rapt attention. Leah saw this and shock in her heart grew to another level. 'What the hell is this… Why are they taking him as a kind of deity.'

"William, although you knew your friends had the plan to betrayed us and you have opportunity to report. Yet, you didn't, allow us to lose many precious life because of your negligence."

"Nevertheless, I knew your impact since you started working as the logistic department. Hence, you shall be forgiven for this mistake."

Hearing this, the heavy boulder on his shoulder disappeared into thin air and he release a sigh of relief . It would be a lie if he said he wasn't scare of Justin. Since the beginning of the apocalypse, he was the one that he feared the most.

Susan looked at William from the corner of her eyes and nods at him. Seeing this, a bright smile appeared on his face as he knew he had just escaped death.

"However, even though I pardon you. For your penance, you have to fight against the beast attack that is approaching and you can't returned to the ark unless the beasts are all wipe out."

Huh!

We knew it. He won't let him go without a punishment. They cried in their heard as they secretly looked at each.

Seeing this, Kira chuckled. 'If the higher are behaving like this. How would the lower people behave in his presence.' A elated smile crept up to her face. 'This is the man I love.'

'Little sister, did you feel that.'

'Feel what?' Susan asked without any expression on her face. Though she understand what she saying. She dare not agree with Kira shenanigan, else she wouldn't heard the end of it.

'Why are you pretending.'

Justine the two were communicating through the soul-link. He didn't care since he trust them.

"As for the betrayal… They can't escape."

"Susan, Merab and Grandpa. I want to wipe out everyone that took part in killing of our men and those betrayals. Bring them to me."

Hearing this, they were shocked. Those line up were just too overkill for those savage people. Alas, everyone shook their head and pity those savage of what was to happen.

"How are we going to know where they are since they had long escape." Merab asked.

"You will know."
