Chapter 367: If it's manipulation , leave it to Shakuni

Once Rudra had time to properly think about what he did , Rudra buried his face in his palms in embarrassment. Why.... Why did he try to act soo cool infront of Drax? 

Deep down Rudra knew the answer to that ..... It was 'Respect'. Rudra had never felt soo small , since coming to Draconia. He wanted to make a point , that the Elites are not your average Joe , that they are not like most humans. 

But in his thirst for that recognition , he said stupid things like , ' give me 3 days '. And ' that's the Elite way '. To be honest , he was carried away with seeing the difficulty of the quest. It was the first time , in a long time , that Rudra saw an A rated quest. 

It was always S , SS or SSS missions for him. Hence to see a normal one , it was funny to him and made him say those stupid words to look cool. However , one thing was for sure , that Rudra had every intention of living upto his stupid promise now that he made it . 

Enroute on the Back of the black dragon , Rudra had nothing much to do , hence he started to talk to the dragon messenger , trying to understand more information about the divine nine tailed fox clan. 

The messenger was prideful and hard to talk to , but it was a long journey , hence over bits and pieces , Rudra was able to get all the answers he wanted , However he liked none of them. 

Apparently , the Nine tailed fox's lived in the land of illusions. It was a place covered in mysterious fog , as noone who entered it , can truly say that they had found the city of the nine tailed fox clan. It was always an illusion of talking to the nine tailed fox beasts , an illusion of a prosperous cityscape , an illusion to sleep in a warm bed in a inn , only to wake up buck naked in a forest , being crawled on by snakes. 

A place even the bravest of dragons would not go , unless absolutely necessary. It was a land Rudra had to traverse without anyone's help. 

Rudra now truly regretted his big mouth , maybe this won't be as easy as he thought it would be. 

Rudra really wanted to complete this quest , the one month of time , he and the group would get , if he completed this task successfully , was going to be a month of astronomical improvement for everyone. 

From unheard of technologies for warfare , to potions of high potency and rare ingredients and effects they did not knew of , some skill scrolls , some combat training and some weapons. The elites needed a complete massive upgrade , and Draconia was a chance to get this upgrade. 

Rudra was currently desperate for an edge , he needed ace holes after ace holes , and not only for himself , but for the entire guild. He needed to keep getting stronger and stronger. Only then could he become the strongest guild master someday.

( Meanwhile in Purplehaze city ) 

Member's of the Chinese traids were now secretly trying to buy property inside Purplehaze city. The order's from the headquarters were clear , try and buy housing within Purplehaze city to make sleepercell strongholds throughout the city. 

With the newly acquired unstable alchemical weapons. Hao Mi was planning to cause mayhem in Purplehaze City , for this the instructions were to buy housing inside Purplehaze city , gain information about the operation , and prepare sleeper cells with enough stock to turn all the sectors of the city into pits of burning flame. 

The plan sounded solid on paper , however , upon execution , there was a major problem in the plan.... One that noone ever expected to pop up. There was not a single plot of land listed in the entire city , up for sale.... Apparently listed under one Augustus Won Knight , a masked player only seen once publicly , apparently a part of the true Elites . 

Hao Mi was baffled by this news .... Just how much capital did the elites have? With building a massive wall , and a teleportation array , and the lavish equipment costs of the guild .... They still had enough money to buy an entire city worth of land? 

Not a single plot left for sale? How ridiculous was this? But this raised a big question ..... Who was Augustus Won Knight .... Where had he been since his last appearance? What is his role in the elites guild? 

Hao Mi wanted information .... And currently there was apparently only one person in the world that could get her the information she wanted. One Mithun Ambani.

( Meanwhile , in the real world ) 

Ethan Grey was preparing for the coming bank auction of the shares for Ambani Corporation , it was a all hands on deck situation right now within the Grey international tower , as this was the time where Everyone knew the importance of not making a slightest mistake. 

Stats were being printed , money liquidated , many stocks sold in bulk , basically capital was being raised for the auction , Ethan got news from his wife/mother of his child in Russia , that Hao Mi of the triads was recently seen with Ambani. 

This was a headache for Ethan , if hao Mi was willing to step in to help Ambani , he would have to bleed a lot .... Even so , would he be able to really outbid one of the biggest drugs and arms dealer of the world? 

Ethan was pacing in his office as he cursed Hao Mi ... " F*** , F*** , why did I choose to do legal buisness and pay taxes ..... Now I have to call that clingy Russian for help , ughh , F*** you Ambani , your company will cost me one hour of a wasted phone call ". 

Ethan Grey regretted every moment of what he was about to do next , but it was necessary.... Hence gathering the courage , Ethan Grey called his wife ..... 

The phone was picked up and from the other side a angry voice said " na khuy tupoy otets i pridurok muzh" 

Which meant ( f*ck you stupid father and moron husband ) 

To which Ethan said " Suka Blyat ".
