He thought it was the end of him. He was not sure of what he would say to them to make them calm down. Mr. Brijesh never imagined himself this way. In fact, he never thought that there would be such consequences, something that would lead to his death.He was sure that the citizens would not leave him here alive, especially those whose family and loved ones died in the hospital due to inadequate facilities.If they had ever told him that a day would come when he would have to be on the mercies of the citizens; when he would have to go on his knees and beg for mercy from commoners.Only if he had escaped and ran away a long time ago, rather than follow Mr. Amit and Mr. Mahadev around, then all of these would not even be happening.He had come so far now, and in just a twinkle of an eye, everything he worked hard for, for years were getting ruined.All his plans were ruined, even before he knew it. Now, he was at the end point, where he didn't know if he would live or die in the next f
As much as people were concerned about the woman and her loss, there was someone who was secretly watching the minister. Somehow, he felt like the minister would try to do something sneaky.The minister, seeing that the people's attention were not on him, slowly found his way to the side where there was not many citizens. With his eyes still fixed on the people, should in case any of them sees him, he would have to compose himself and remain still.Seeing that no one had their eyes on him, he was about to take off, and run away. At least, to him, if no one had seen him, before they would notice that he was gone and start chasing him, it would have been hard for them to catch up with him.With this perfect plan in his mind, he smiled in victory. He was about to leave, when someone held him by the leg. "What were you planning to do?" He asked.He turned to the other citizens, "hello, everyone. Look at the supposedly remorseful minister trying to run away."As soon as they heard his vo
Justice was served in the end for the two ministers who had caused pain to the citizens of Castle City. They watched as he bled to death. Of course, where he was stabbed would lead to death, and even if he was rushed to the hospital, there was a 98% possiblity that he would survive.As soon as he gave up the ghost, they left him there with the knife still stuck in his chest.They had agreed to meet together, and find the minister of Agriculture. Although they had his live location, he was the last person they wanted to find."Let's head over to our last task!" The leader of the citizens that led the angry mob to kill the minster of Finance, Mr. Amit, said.The citizens that witnessed the death of the minister of health began to march down to track the location of the minister of Agriculture.He had brought grief to the citizens. It was because of him, Castle City experienced famine. "Mr. Mahadev, we are coming for you!" A man with a deep voice yelled, and everyone who heard him were
The minister of Agriculture tried to call the two ministers again, but their numbers were not reachable. He shrugged, hoping that they find their way out of their own mess.To him, it was time to part ways, and face life alone. He was going to escape, and maybe, he would contact them later on. With that in his mind, he thought of how to escape without getting caught. Even though he was confident that the citizens would not find his house, he wanted to be sure of it first.No, he wanted to be on a safer side. He could not risk his life because of assumptions. Whether or not they found his hideout, he had to leave.How would he even escape? He paced around the room, thinking hard on how to escape. He was not sure if it was a good idea to go to the chief minister's place.He could not tell what was going on with the chief minister. The last time they had gone to visit him, he had acted strangely. What if he goes to the chief minister for help, and he ended up turning him in?No, he drea
The minister or Agriculture was afraid of what the citizens would do to him. As much as he wanted to escape, he did not also want to get caught by the citizens.He remained inside the van, hoping that somehow, the driver would zoom off. He wished that he could just lay his hands on those wheels.He was sure that he would zoom off no matter what. He did not care whether his violent act would cause any accident. As long as he was able to drive and escape these angry citizens, he would do anything to achieve that.But the only way to get to the driver's seat was to come out of the back van, and that was absolutely not possible. He was sure that the citizens had already surrounded the vehicle, so how then was he going to escape? That was a bad idea, itself.He decided to stay inside, till whenever. Maybe, if they didn't see him come out of the van, they would give up and contact the owner of the van to come pick it up.With that assurance, he relaxed a bit."Mr. Mahadev, I know you can h
Chapter 92It was all over now.Justice was finally served. Everything was now okay. The ministers were all dead now, and everything was now settled. They had finally paid for their crimes.As they all walked back, returning to their homes, they could hear the vehicle explode behind them.That was the end of it. The end of corruption. Greediness. End of bad ministers and leaders.No one talked about their existence anymore. After justice was served, the citizens went back to their houses. Everyone was at peace. They went home happily knowing that justice was served for all the souls that were lost."Welcome to Radio Station of Castle City 2. This is to let the citizens of Castle City know that peace has been restored to the city. The government assures you that there will no form of corruption or bad leaders that would cause the citizens pain or harm. All facilities and infrastructures have been put to budget by the government, and would be taken care of, as soon as possible. "Also,
"Arjun…the man of the city." The president praised Arjun as he walked into the room.A smile found its way to Arjun's lips, "Mr President, we both know that's you and not me." After the incident, Arjun became friends with the president. One would find it hard to believe that he was a citizen like other people because of how close he was with the president.The president rose up to have a handshake with Arjun, "You can deny many times but it doesn't change the truth my friend." Arjun shook hands firmly with the president before taking his seat, "Exactly. The truth about you being the man of the city. As it should be." The president shook his head as he smiled, "In the eyes of the law, I am the man of the city. But in the eyes of the citizens, you're the man of the city. Have you seen how they adore you? If you even contested for the seat of presidency right now, you'll be given without making too much efforts on campaigns." Arjun sighed, "Well, it is what it is. I just had to play
"That's because not everywhere in the city has reliable electricity. Recently, I received pleas from a remote state asking me to set up a power plant there, so they wouldn't have to rely on generators, given the increasing cost of fuel." The president explained.Arjun hummed, "Oh…well how much do you have in budget for that?" "About fifty million dollars. And we need a hundred and fifty million dollars." "But why are you short of funds?" Arjun inquired.The president took another sip of his wine, "There are other things we have to take care of in the city to ensure the citizens live comfortably. Most of the money is being channeled to our imports." Arjun rubbed his chin as he relaxed on the couch, "I think I know how to help." "I'm all ears." Arjun drummed his fingers on the couch, "Firstly, what are those things we import?" "Mostly gadgets and machines," the president replied."Hmm. Why don't we just pay one of those engineers from the country we import from to come here and tr
