It was the last day. No private chambers, no closed doors — this time, the council wanted everyone to see what was about to unfold.
The hearing was held in the Colosseum near the Tower. The arena was packed — hundreds of thousands had gathered from every corner of the city. Heroes, guild masters, reporters, citizens, even criminals hiding under hoods — all sat together in the crowd, waiting for blood.
Huge screens floated in the air, speakers lined every wall, broadcasting even the tiniest sounds. Every breath. Every whisper. No one could escape the truth today.
In the center of the arena stood Liam, hands behind his back, calm as ever. Beside him were the council guards, his supporters, and witnesses who had stepped up to testify during the hearings.
