Chapter 329: Fallout

Edge was left depressed following his defeat to Rudra yet again. That single move that wiped his entire army seemed incomprehensible to him , like Rudra had cheated. Time and time and time again , it seemed he could never get a one up on the Elites. 

He was Edge Rothschild , yet he could not get one over a nobody like Rudra Rajput , this entire concept was foreign to him. He was not a Shakuni Wannabe , if anything he beleived Shakuni should be an Edge wannane , yet after this defeat he questioned that again. 

Just how strong were the Elites? Was it worth fighting with them at all? Could the Elites even be defeated? Such dark thoughts entered his mind. Yet a bigger decision haunted his mind currently , at first he never wanted to consider this option , yet the news about his yet another failure were bound to reach his family. Where this time he would be heavily rebuked. 

Hence that offer seemed even more lucrative to him now .... Edge was having a moment of weakness , a moment where he could not find the courage to ward off the lure of the devil , and invited him into his house. 

Making a deal with the Chinese traids , Edge decided to betray the Rothschild , and go into buisness for his own. Selling family business secrets and important money holding account details. 

Edge was about to renege , his only two demands in return for this service from the triads being ... 

1) Money and Power 

2) Making the life of the Elites a hell 

The Chinese accepted these terms , and helped Edge escape the confines of his family. Edge Rothschild hence signed a deal with the devil , where he traded his integrity with his desires. Nothing good was ever going to come from the deal , yet for the moment while Edge was still useful , the Elites had made a new enemy. And a very powerful one at that. Their enemy being from the underworld .... The most notorious criminal gang in the world ... The Chinese traids!

( Purplehaze City , Hazelgroove kingdom ) 

It took Rudra and group three more days to bring Rhodium back into city walls , it was a hard and long journey , with a brutal battle involved , yet nobody wanted to speak about it. 

Their minds even three days later were focused on that single move that Rudra used during his battle , the destructive Solar beam! 

Everyone had varying reactions to this event. Neatwit was only impressed but overall indifferent , he was an easy going guy overall , and did not pry into other's personal matters. 

Karna was both shocked and impressed by Rudra ,his respect for the leader going up a notch. However he was also a little bit worried about Rudra , he felt that this was some sort of forbidden power used by Rudra at a great cost. That Rudra was forced to do a move he was not ready for , as evident by his broken shoulder , which was only healed by three days of continuous treatment by Naomi. 

Naomi much like Karna was worried about Rudra a lot , as she did her best to keep healing him. However through her healing process ,the little Furball kept glaring daggers at her , however knew that she was helping her owner hence did not provoke her any further. 

Little Furball had been very frustrated that she had been immediately called back into Rudra's soul space as soon as there was sign of danger. 

She was a very smart beast who knew that she was currently useless in battle , hence had nowhere to vent her frustrations. When she came out to see Rudra soo heavily injured she felt very sad , as she continually stuck by his side , licking his neck and shoulder. As if her licks could heal his pain. 

Rudra kept patting the little fox , her company gave him warmth and joy , only those around Rudra were sad , he himself was feeling very good about using that move and was in high spirits. 

Now that he saw its power for himself , he was soo happy that he chose this as his reward , it was indeed worth all his hardwork to win the three gold medals! 

His shoulder did ache , however no matter how much advanced health potions he drunk , the popped shoulder would not heal. Even at full HP , his shoulder pained a lot , which seemed unusual to Rudra. 

What he did not know was that it was the pain stemming from the tattoos on his arms , which were used in full power by this frail body which could not withstand the pressure. 

The tattoos were like a circuit on cooldown , and it took constant cool healing of Naomi to cool it down to normal , and hence healing Rudra. 

The only person having a positive reaction to Rudra using that move was Yua , who kept chatting with Rudra happily about how it was soo damn cool! 

She did not mention Rudra's injury once , not because she did not care about Rudra , but because she thought it was the best way to deal with boys. 

Boys did not like to be mentioned by girls how they felt pity for them at their injuries , boys liked to pretend to be tough and strong and liked women who believed soo too. Hence Yua never mentioned it to Rudra. 

Rudra was actually thankful for it , as for once he found his conversations with Yua pelasant. Which irked Naomi a lot. However irked little Furball even more. 

Who kept making growling noises which sounded like soft purrs of joy whenever Yua talked with Rudra.
