Chapter 513 - A Gamble
Medivh put his head down and prepared to carry out his duties as he had been instructed like the good soldier that he was.
Naturally he had his reservations about this , but he had expressed them and was rejected on his concerns by the guild leader. Hence , now was not the time to disobey or deviate from the part that he needed to play , now was the time to perform his task perfectly and hope everything worked out as Rudra intended.
SMG too was struggling internally , as he eventhough he had his fair share of crazy moments here at the elites , the task at hand was surely to top it all off , as the guildmaster had decided to go against a god this time around.
But both Medivh and SMG's reservations came at the fact that should anything go wrong , it was Rudra's gaming career that would be over , not theirs . The consequences of failure were going to be on Rudra's head , hence should anyone of them not deliver what was expected of them , it would be Rudra who would suffer.
This put enormous pressure on the duo as they understood that Rudra was in a very vulnerable position currently to have his powers sealed to that of a level 10 warrior.
By all means , Rudra was currently weaker than even the weakest elite recruit undergoing internship at the guild , as the man who single handedly carried the guild on his back , was now their weakest link.
It was due to these extraordinary circumstances that when the blood merchants rolled inside the gates of the platinum guild headquarters of the elites inside Purplehaze city , SMG found his usually calm heart to be beating wildly as his breathing became ragged as nervousness gripped his body .
Three blood merchants entered the guild , as their unique appearances and unmistakable evil aura drew the entire guilds attention to them.
The one walking in the centre had covered his body in bone Ash , as he carried a skeleton head dripping blood in one hand , and a bloody axe in another . He was a tier 3 barbarian , who had not bathed in ages as he smelled extremely pungent , choking the nasal passage of anyone he passed by.
To his left was a lean looking man with a look of madness on his face , as he had his tongue out and his very gaze that landed on any Elite member was provocative and one that looked down on others in utter contempt.
He was the kind of guy whose very face gave the opponent the urge to use it as a punching bag , and just pummel it into a bloody mushed potato.
However at the peak of tier 3 , having the class theif , he was undoubtedly a strong character.
Finally the third man walking at the right was a burly man with a big beard and tattoo's riddled all over his body.
Battle scars covered his entire frame as he looked like hercules himself in flesh. However unlike most muscle headed men , his eyes contained an unmistakable sharp look. As with the class of a tanker , this man was the most dangerous member of the group.
Naturally when such dangerous men strolled inside the Elite HQ , people would not let them pass unhindered , however a stern look from Amelia had all the boys in the guild tuck their tails and save their fake roars for later , as they could only watch in silence as the three men were lead personally by Amelia into Rudra's office.
Before anyone could ask anything , the moment Amelia came out of Rudra's office she raised her finger and declared " No questions kids , you saw nothing ".
As she dismissed the crowd before anyone could say anything at all.
Although Rudra was the defacto leader of the guild , Amelia was the real boss who instilled the fear of God into the guild members.
Nobody had the guts to defy or cross question Amelia , not even the guild elders as she controlled the logistics and internal affairs of the guild with an iron fist.
Known to be cold and sharp tongued yet fair and just , Amelia had the highest respect from the guild members after Rudra and Karna. Because of which her word was considered law inside the guild even though she was barely level 30 .
However today it was for the better of the guild members to not know what was to transpire as the very career of one Rudra Rajput hanged in balance on todays events and nothing could go wrong.
As the three men entered Rudra's cabin , they saw the man sitting leisurely as he stroked Furball , as he motioned for the three of them to take seats as he used his eyes of truth to examine their power levels.
The tanker was called ' Jack '
The freak with the skeleton was ' Xietian'
While the madman was ' Victor '.
Xietian said " Let me make one thing clear before any transaction takes place between us ... The three of us that you see here today , well we are a member short. We were called the ferocious four , the tank , the barbarian , the theif and the mage.
The very same mage that was performing the blood ritual on sariels son whom you helped escape.
It was your fault that the four of us became three , and it is a grudge that we will never let go of..... *Spits* , eventhough we are under orders today. I promise you , oneday we shall have vengeance ! ".
The cold look in xietian's eyes was scary , however all it did was expose a weakness in his pysche to Rudra , as Furball started to growl in Fury when her master was threatened.
Rudra stroked Furball to calm her down , as he looked at xietian in contempt and said nothing , his silence made the weight of xietian's words dissipate like an empty threat .
A threat that did not need to be taken seriously , riling the three of them up.
Victor laughed " Hahaha , nice kitty you have , tell her to shut-up before i mince her golden fur to pieces , will you ? Pleasseeeee? ".
However victor made a grave mistake here , as Rudra's eyes of contempt instantly turned into eyes of wrath when his pet was threatened , as he glared towards Victor who backed down in fear.
Finally the only civil person in the group Jack tried to calm things down at both ends as he said " We are here for buisness today , so let's get over with it , before things blow up out of proportion , shall we? ".
