Calamity Upon This World

Chapter 139: Ch-139 Aftermath

A gloomy and eerily silent atmosphere enveloped the room.

A weeping mother cried in the corner as she mourned the loss of her precious sons.

An absent-minded father stared at the wall his face drained of all colour and his will to live absent from his eyes.

And last but not least was a angry and grieving women who grieved at the loss of her fiance and brother-in-law by blaming the handsome black-haired man who had come bearing grim news.

"How could you let this happen?" the brown-haired woman in her mid-twenties asked her voice brimming with anger and her eyes full of hatred as she accused William of letting them die.

On the ground were two corpses. They were preserved well to prevent decay but there was not much left of them. The first was a headless body and the second was just a pair of legs, both wrapped in clean white sheets of cloth.

"Why did they have to die while you still live?" the women asked with tears in her eyes and her expression and voice containing nothing but complete hatred for the black-haired man.

Hearing her question William had nothing he could say to her but keep staring at her without even a change in his expression.

It had now been three whole days since William and his party had come out of the double dungeon.

After coming out William had made sure to inform the URF and adventurers guild about everything that had happened inside the double dungeon and about Sung's betrayal which led to him getting blacklisted from all government building, having his supporters agency card blocked and also becoming a wanted criminal.

Betraying and trying to kill a member of your own party inside a dungeon was one of the worst crime an adventurer could do and was punishable by a minimum of 30-year prison but depending on the specifics the punishment could be extended.

And this punishment was only even more severe for supporters hired from the support agency.

After a bit of digging around William learned that Sung was an officially registered porter in the support agency in Markwhelter kingdom which dealt in providing miners, porters, healers and other dungeon related support people.

After telling the authorities about everything Sung had done and how he had caused the death of all the miners inside the dungeon as well almost killing both William and his party.

William and the rest of the cleansers had to properly testify their testimonies in front of multiple lie detecting artifacts to make sure they weren't lying.

After ensuring that all the testimonies matched, Sung was officially put on the same list as all the other criminals with all the merits and achievements he had gained over the years stripped.

But that was only natural if anything he should be glad William didn't tell the authorities about him trying to summon an evil God or else he would have been declared as the number one enemy of the world actively being hunted down by all races alike.

As for the reason why, he didn't spill the beans about that was because he didn't want to reveal more than necessary.

In all his multiple testimonies William hadn't told anyone about his bloodline and the rewards he gained this was thanks to the right that all adventurers enjoy where they didn't need to reveal what they had gained inside a dungeon unless they want to sell the items.

However, it was a whole another situation if an evil God and the safety of the entire planet were put in question.

William was sure that he would've been forced to reveal everything that had happened inside the dungeon including things related to Fariel and before long the conversation would have become entered around him and his origin.

And before long his identity would've been revealed something William absolutely could not allow.

The second reason was that his whole case was handled by people not that high up in the URF authority ladder and for a case like this someone at the level of at least the president himself was a must.

Because the information about an Evil God's potential descent must remain confidential and under no circumstances must be leaked as the consequences of such an event would be disastrous.

And for his current persona arranging a meeting with the President was impossible maybe it would be possible if he revealed his true identity as the heir of the Verhein county and the importance of the issue at hand.

But William obviously didn't want that also in this scenario Rex would come to learn about everything that had happened to him and William didn't want to worry his father any more than he already had.

The last reason was a lot more personal than the other reasons but it played a significant role in Williams ultimate decision.

And it was that he wanted to kill Sung with his own two hands no matter the cost.

But despite all of this William felt it was a bit stupid if he hid this information and it came back to bite him in the ass in the future.

So, he told Michael about all the details of the dungeon of course excluding his bloodline and rewards.

But with Michaels identity as one of the strongest people alive as well as the guild leader of the main Adventurers Guild headquarters he had more than enough authority to arrange a meeting with the president.

Of course, William told Michael to not mention him so he didn't need to worry about his identity being compromised while still managing to warn the authorities about the risk Sung posed to the world as a whole.

According to Williams guess this information about the evil God will remain confidential among the true big shots of humanity with zero chance of being leaked as the aim to silently hunt and eliminate Sung while keeping the people general population blind.

But even despite knowing this William secretly hoped that they failed to do it so he could personally have the honour of ending his pathetic life.

All of this really reminded William about the government in his old world and how they operated but he was being side tracked.

Right now, there was an even bigger issue that he needed to worry about William thought as he gulped while looking at the enraged and teary expression of Tony's fiance.
