Chapter 239 - Arthur’s Wrath

"Will everyone just shut up for one second?!" Arthur yelled out as he was getting sick of having to hear everyone's comments about him. They were all clearly supposed to be sarcastic remarks due to the fact that multiple people in the room had committed several harsher crimes than hitting a woman or a child.

It simply didn't make sense as to why they had chosen to become judgmental about such subjects only when Arthur seemed to do something. Although a simple explanation to that question would have been the fact that Arthur was widely known as the type to start fights and instead watch from afar. Even if he was forced to do battle, he would finish the match quickly and make sure that it wasn't drawn out for the very simple reason that he didn't want to prolong the pain which one experienced before they died.

Although that might have brought many to respect Arthur for having such compelling moral standards to follow, that was far from the truth as if Arthur allowed his mental health to roam freely around the world with no restrictions, the world would be placed in one truly horrible hell which not a single person would enjoy.

"Watch out everyone, he's planning to attack a woman," someone from the group said while mocking Arthur. However that was the final straw as Arthur had enough with dealing with the mockery. He didn't even bother to look at who had mocked him, instead, Arthur just kept his head down as his eyes opened to reveal a psychotic grin on Arthur's face.

Arthur had allowed himself to let go.

All of the walls which Arthur had built up to make sure that his mental health would be in check so that many wouldn't die began to crumble. There was no longer anything protecting the rest of the world from Arthur.

Without looking at any of the faces which were mocking him, Arthur began to slowly walk towards Stephanie, who seemed to be the only one concerned as everyone looked too distracted while they laughed at Arthur. The only other person to notice the stage shift in attitude was Tim who continued to sit on the ground as his feet continued to tremble in fear to the point where they couldn't move. They had become as hard as rocks as they were impovable for Tim.

Even though Tim had the chance to warn everyone else about what was about to happen to Stephanie, he chose to stay quiet in fear of what might happen if he told the others would get Arthur mad and instead direct his anger on Tim instead.

After getting close enough to Stephanie, Arthur silently ripped her head off by pulling her hair upwards which only took less than 2 seconds. Everyone in the room inside the GNE building heard the loud snapping sound that was made as Stephanie's head was ripped off of her body.

For a second, it had seemed like her head was still alive as it moved its eyes around for quite some time before finally shutting them and accepting death.

As such, that marked the end of Stephanie's life as she died because her comrades and enemies decided to make the wrong person mad.

...

"No way," one of the members of the group of 5 which was now a group of 4 which was sent by the global government said as they saw Stephanie's head dangling in the air as Arthur still held her in the air only to drop her head like a trash bag.

"I didn't think he would actually go through with it. Even if they're our enemy, isn't killing someone using a technique such as that a bit too hard?" Batol asked as he turned towards Yuki for advice since he was confused on how to feel about what he had just seen. 

"To be honest with you Batol, I don't really see a problem with what Arthur has done. After all, we all agreed that we would do whatever was necessary to accomplish our goal, instead of judging him, I believe he should be praised. Although it still remains that i

do not agree with the way he chose to deal with the situation. Although it's not like I can talk since I'm not much better than him. It can even be argued that I'm much worse than him. Hence my judgment," Yuki explained to Batol. Although Batol didn't like the answer he had received from Yuki, Batol could still see where Yuki was coming from. After all, Yuki wasn't one to be labeled a hero. Especially after what he had done a year ago when he was in his prime of committing several crimes at a time.

"I won't allow you to get away with this!" one of the members of the group that was sent by the global government said as they began to charge towards Arthur at their top speed with their rage filled eyes as they sought nothing but revenge for Arthur killing one of their own.

"I'm afraid you're wrong. You'll be the one who won't be getting away," Arthur said before taking a deep breath.

Right before the enemy got too close, Arthur suddenly opened his eyes as they widened which seemed to catch the attention of the attacker. There was a single millisecond in that interaction in which the enemy faulted which would be their fatal mistake. 

By the time the member of the group which was sent to stop Yuki had realized their mistake, they were already missing a large chunk of their chest as Arthur hand punched a large hole right through it.

Realizing that they were on the brink of death, the members from the enemy group began to cough up blood before eventually going to rest as their eyes began to lose life, their legs began to lose their strength and they had no choice but to fall on the ground.

"At least you'll be able to meet your friend," Arthur said with no remorse in his eyes.

When Arthur looked forward, he could see that two of the remaining members from the enemy group were gritting their teeth in anger while the final one, which was the tallest one of the group, still looked relatively calm about the situation.

"Oh it seems like your friends are scared as they should but as for you, you seem not the least bit scared of me. Why is that?" Arthur asked in a calm tone which had the slightest bit of anger in his voice as he couldn't understand why someone who was clearly weaker than him wasn't willing to accept that and bow to him by allowing his fear to show just like his team members. 

"Why should I fear someone who's clearly so much weaker than me. Although you might be physically stronger than me, when it comes to our mental fortitude-" the tallest man began to speak at which Arthur knew where the conversation was going to head in. As such, Arthur made sure to take care of the situation before he had go listen to some overplayed speech which had no real meaning behind it except for the fact that it was a quote that stupid people listened to so that they could feel better about themselves.

As such, so that he wouldn't have to listen to a sappy speech, Arthur allowed himself to combine with the win itself as his movement speed was so fast that no one other than Yuki could perceive it.

That said, Arthur travelled quickly while also managing to keep control of his body as he slashed the heads of the remaining 2 members of the group which had come from the global government. In turn only leaving 1 remaining member from that group, that one being the tallest one from the group which had stated that he didn't fear Arthur.

"So tell me, do you still not believe that you should fear me?" Arthur asked in a rather confident tone which also exuded pity towards the tall man as Arthur felt bad that he had to run into Arthur himself. Although they should have expected Arthur to be there. In fact, they were lucky that it was Arthur who they had to fight and not Yuki himself. If it was Yuki who they were forced to battle, he probably wouldn't even need the potions which Arthur had consumed to be on the even level playing field that the enemy were on since they were the ones to originally consume the potions to have any hope of defeating Yuki. Unfortunately for them, they forgot to account for the fact that maybe Yuki wouldn't be alone and would be easy to take down.

Due to that miscalculation in their plan, they had mostly been killed and only a single member remained from them. 

"Give it up, you know you can't win this battle. In all heaven, earth and hell, I'll always be stronger than the likes of you," Arthur warned the tallest man who remained as Arthur's final target.
