Chapter 489 - Heartbreak
Rudra decided to break the news to Jhonny and Yume that he had a girlfriend in the party.
The duo had completely opposite reactions to his declaration , while Yume was happy for him and told him about some secret wink wink techniques to use in bed.
Jhonny gave him a lecture about how there were many fish in the sea and he was choosing to eat a single meat again and again. He was dissapointed in Rudra's choice of getting committed and sighed at the trajic news , calling for shots.
However , the one most affected by this news was not Jhonny , Yume or Rudra , it was Yua who was waiting on the bar counter to strike up a conversation with Rudra.
The news struck her like a lightning bolt , and she did not understand what to make off it. She even came prepared with an aphrodisiac to seduce Rudra today . However with him already dating Naomi she was unsure if she should even use it.
The entire party her appearance and fragrance had drew her a lot of attention from a lot of people from all over the guild however her only objective was Rudra .
But with him already being taken she felt like all her work was for nothing , she had planned for a perfect evening however it was ruined now. Moreover she lost to Naomi . She absolutely hated Naomi and now she had beaten her to the punch to get Rudra.
Although Yua was a bit agressive and her means were not always ideal , she was not a bad person at heart, and had genuine feelings too.
As the stream of tears went unnoticed by Rudra , someone else did notice them as he came to console a crying Yua . It was neatiwit.
Neatwit was more than thrilled that her sister got a boyfriend and he was happy that it was Rudra . As his friend , Neatwit knew that Rudra had a solid moral character and sense of responsibility. He was a great match for Naomi and he gave his sister the blessings.
This elated both Naomi and Rudra , as Rudra started to formally put his arms around Naomi's waist as he went on a drinking spree at the elites party informing everyone about his new girlfriend.
Ethan Grey raised an eyebrow , however just chuckled at the news , he had long seen that Naomi liked Rudra and didn't really care much about it.
If Rudra was happy then it did not matter much to him who he dated in his personal life. But the guild members had a more emotional response as the duo were constantly teased and praised by the guild members.
The night of festivities that could have gone horribly wrong , ended up as a pretty good affair overall , as Lita decided to ally with the elites , while Yua did not pull off her scheme.
Instead , she found herself waking up beside Neatwit in the morning , as she shared a night with Naomi's twin brother after getting hammered.
She did not regret it at all , an elder in the guild , as well as a trillionare himself , Neatwit was an eligible bachelor , second to only Rudra himself. Hence it ended well for her as well , as she promised to cherish Neatwit and forget about Rudra in the future.
The morning after the party was a dull as everyone was hungover and smelling like stomach acid with dark circles and ruffled hair.
Naturally it meant that attendance around the guild hall in the virtual world was low as people took time off to deal with the splitting headache. An event which provided an opportunity for one Dronacharya
---------
( The virtual world , somewhere in Nineclouds kingdom)
Dronacharya had been wondering for days on end about what would be the consequences of Rudra becoming the number one ranker in the world . However after making a hundered plans and carefully selecting the best one amongst it , dronacharya was back to his scheming ways with a new scheme to work against the elites.
Using his spy within the guild , to supply him with pictures of the party the Elites had yesterday , Dronacharya wanted to release them all over the forums and sully the reputation the Elites had from a reliable guild to that of a bunch of misfits.
This was the BIGGEST mistake he would make in his entire life as it would backfire on him bigtime down the line.
Dronacharya knew that exposing these photos meant that he was sacrificing the spy he had within the Elites . As he did not expect the elites to be stupid enough to not understand the meaning behind the photos being leaked.
However even after months of repeatedly pushing the spy for sensitive information , the spy had returned empty handed , making his existence within the guild useless.
What dronacharya was hoping was that the leak would cause internal friction within the Elites and slow down their recruitment drive . Which would be beneficial down the line to dronacharya when their eventual clash does happen.
He had made a perfect calculation on how to swat public opinion as well as how to instigate matters within the Elite camp . But it was all to go southways as an unknown variable had decided to enter into an alliance with the Elites.
Dronacharya was an unfortunate man , as even after being super cautious and calculative before making every decision , something or the other went horribly wrong for him all the time.
As the one photo he chose to leak on the forums , where one Ethan Grey stood with an unassuming woman in the background . Whom dronacharya did not even glance at , was Lita , the infamous mafia boss!
The photo did create waves on the forums , but they were not the like that dronacharya wanted at all , as ever since a single person recognized Lita , the only talking point of the photo became Ethan Grey X Russian mafia X the elites as dronacharya found himself dumbfounded by the situation he never foresaw.
The elites shareprice saw a rise again , as the headlines of the post became ' Powerfull allys '. As a message about the Russian mafia being in bed with the elites started to circulate even before the formal alliance was made! And dronacharya was the reason for it!
