Xietian read the conditions of the contract carefully and then thought about various possible scenarios , before finally agreeing to it and signing the document.
Although he felt something was off , he was on a timelimit to complete this mission which the superiors described as ‘ Highest Priority’ , and the negotiations were making no headway at all.
Hence with the assurance that nobody could circumvent a contract , xietian agreed to Rudra’s terms .
This was a big mistake as Rudra had a big ploy underneath this contract as he smiled like a glib lawyer who had sunk his teeth into his prey.
Naturally Rudra would not warn the bloodmerchants at this moment , as he would wait for the right time to show his hand.
Following the contract signing , Victor was taken to the prison inside the Elites HQ , which was a holding cell made from reinforced concrete with only a mouth sized hole for air.
Not only was victor restrained at both hands and feet using high grade iron chains. But was also forced to wear a straight jacket that restricted him inside a thick leather strap jacket.
Victor was a theif and the very essence of the class was to pick locks and break in and out of structures. Hence one could not be enough careful when dealing with such a man.
Elite members guarded the door to the cell 24/7 , as Rudra ensured that escape or breakout would not be an option that would be remotely feasible.
Naturally before sealing him in shut , as per the contract Rudra did handover one page of the demon’s diary to victor .
The rest of the transaction between jack , xietian and Rudra took place exactly as xietian wanted with they placing the vial of antidote on the table and Rudra placing the rest of the pages before the two of them taking their items respectively.
Rudra looked at the purple vial with disgust , as it looked more like snake venom than an antidote , however having no other options , Rudra had to Gulp it down in one breath.
The liquid tasted even more disgusting than it looked as Rudra could imagine Lucifer laughing down on him as his throat burned from the effects of the sinister liquid.
However , the effects of the antidote were also evident as Rudra got a system notification
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : The curse in your body is dissipating .
Estimated time till completion : 2 hours
Rudra looked at this notification and nodded towards xietian and jack who had also examined the papers and found them to be authentic pages of demon’s diary .
However Rudra got a much awaited surprise at this very moment , one that he was anticipating for months now.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : The average player base of the game has reached level 80 . You are now free to use bombs as per your agreement with the governing AI.
‘ BOOYAH! ‘ , Thought Rudra , as it was something that was long -time due. He was basically crippled as an explosion artist for these past years as he had to wait till the average level of the playerbase hit 80 before he could use these weapons of mass destruction!
This was a monumental gamechanger for Rudra , who now had a project to work on that could constructively help the guilds overall strength while he was lying around crippled with level 10 strength.
Unfortunately for him this notification came a little bit late , as he had absolutely 0 stock of bombs at hand currently , nor did he have the time to develop new ones .
If he did have some potent weapons the entire situation right now against the bloodmerchants might be different.
However in anycase this was good news for Rudra as although not against this opponent , the bombs would solve a lot of problems for him in capturing Nineclouds kingdom and Aquahose Kingdom!
A big smile naturally formed on Rudra’s face as he said ” Gentlemen , i think our buisness here is concluded “.
Rudra extended his hand as if expecting a shake
Xietian and jack stood up , it was evident from their cold expression that there was going to be no handshakes.
Situation had forced the two to co-operate however , both of them were by no means willing parties of a cooperation. The enmity ran deep , and would not be changed by this forced period of truce.
The two of them just turned and left as they were watched coldly by a crowd of elite members outside.
The duo naturally were going to leave the city , however they had to wait for victor to complete the mission which would only happen once Rudra was cured completely off his curse and released victor from his prison.
The contract stated that after Rudra’s curse completely wore off , he would remove all constraints over victor and gaurantee a safe passage outside the walls of Purplehaze city.
And Rudra intended to keep that promise …. However , the trick in the contract was the part where it said till outside the passage walls of the city …. Which meant , everything outside was fair game!
Having a mage tower that had an effective area of control larger than Purplehaze city , and SMG and 500 of his best men on standby , Rudra planned on never letting victor make more than 50 feet of ground once outside the city .
While using the tracking mirror to hunt the other two members down too and getting the pages back from them.
Rudra had already planned to go against Lucifer and there was no way in hell that he was letting him get all the pages like he wanted.
Not a single page was slipping out of Rudra’s posession today , as he planned on getting each and every one of them back!
