The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree

Jasmine 1

"Hey you. Why are you sleeping here? Don't you know that you are causing a scene here by sleeping in the middle of the street?" the police officer started shouting at Caesar as soon as his eyes fell on the carefree look on his sleeping face.

He was clearly making a loud enough noise along with his colleagues from some time. How could anyone sleep peacefully under such loud noises?

That is what made the police officer more angry when he looked at Caesar's sleeping face.

He felt that he was not taken seriously by doing this.

Being a police officer, he was used to everyone's fear when facing him. Except for his superiors, he never had to bow his head down before.

When he walks on the streets wearing his police uniform, everyone would voluntarily give way and their faces would always be filled with fear and respect.

After all, who knows if he was angered he may trap some innocent person and put him in jail for some weird cases.

After getting used to being the top of the food chain in this town, he couldn't stomach the fact that some kid was not taking him seriously by sleeping in the center of the street and not waking up even after he shouted at him with his booming voice.

After listening to his voice and words everyone around immediately gasped in shock.

'How can he shout at our King?' Everyone had the same question in their thoughts. 'So disrespectful.'

Looking at their shocked gazes, the police officer was confused. He shouted at them, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Isn't this kid named Caesar? Why is this crazy kid sleeping here on the road? I know he doesn't have anyone at home so he may be feeling lonely there but would that give him an excuse to sleep here instead of sleeping at his home?"

He then turned back to Caesar and continued shouting, "Hey, Caesar. You crazy kid, get up immediately. Go to your home and sleep there if you want instead of being a nuisance to everyone here."

The police officer's voice could not be said to be a joke. It was so loud that it could easily be heard from two to three streets away. How would Caesar be able to sleep peacefully under such a loud voice?

Unless he was dead, there is no way a living person would be able to sleep under this police officer's voice.

Caesar is definitely not a dead person. Thus his eyebrows subconsciously twitched before he opened his eyes.

He was surprised to see a group of people gathered around him and a police officer was looking down at him with his big eyes.

Caesar was looking at him from the ground and all he could see was a huge belly and a huge mustache like a middle aged man who scares everyone in the town.

He blinked his eyes twice before he got rid of his sleepiness and looked at his surroundings more clearly.

"Why are you all standing around me? Did someone come here to kill me and you all wanted to watch the show again?" He asked them all sarcastically while standing up from the ground.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shame when they heard his question.

They all knew what he was talking about.

It was about how they all had watched when his little girlfriend was killed in the middle of the town, right?

If one were to recall the scene of that day, the incident actually occurred at that exact spot.

The position they were all standing in was the center of the entire town.

The goons who had killed the innocent girl, Jasmine, had dragged her by the hair until they reached this very spot.

They did not kill her immediately. Instead they called for everyone in the town to come to the place.

Weirdly enough, they had even arranged for a few loud speakers, which were placed in a few vehicles. The vehicles moved around the entire town calling for everyone's presence.

They even stated that it was an order from higher authorities and if anyone was absent they would have to face the consequences.

Though they did not know who exactly were considered the higher authorities they talked about, they all were curious about what was happening. They were also scared when they heard the words 'face the consequences' and did not think about anything else but to save themselves.

Hence without any delay the citizens of the entire town gathered at the center of the town within a few minutes.

Everyone was shocked to find Jasmine lying on the ground with no energy left in her. She was covered in bruises and her hair was frizzy like a mad woman's.
