( Vega Titus and Julian Caeser's POV )
Julian stormed into Vega's tent with a letter in hand, where the king was personally pleasing the heroics of Ravan Bloodfall and the Bloodfall clan after their monumental victory.
As a loyal do-, as a loyal subject of Regus Aurelius he felt jealous that his master was praising someone else, but more jealous at the fact that Vega had managed to scoop this talent before he did.
" How did you know? " Julian asked aggressively as he slammed the letter on Vega's desk and looked him square in the eyes.
" How did I know what? " Vega asked completely confused as to what was going on?
" How did you know back when Ravan was only tier3 that this kid was something else?
You threw him a banquet and treated him like he's ur most precious son, and now all the glory he reaps will always be linked to you, he shall forever be your find and your ally.
But the question is how?
How do you do this?
I also met the kid back at the banquet, the only talent I saw in him was that he was annoying.
Why are you so much better than me? " Julian asked candidly as he appeared to be like a little brother ranting about his short comings to his elder brother.
Vega who wanted to grin ear to ear after seeing Julian so frustrated could not bring himself to do so as truth be spoken even he did not expect Max to be so strong.
While the rest of the vampire society might not understand that Max Rajput and Ravan Bloodfall were one and the same, he did, which was why the entire report and the achievements that Max got hit him way different than it hit the others.
That primordial vampire was the real deal, if he was so strong while being so young, there was no saying if he could or could not take down Regus Aurelius once he matured to become the next king.
" To be honest, his arrogance was the only quality I acknowledged in him too. That brat is disrespectful and annoying even to me.
But my experience in life has taught me that its exactly these kind of people who take their own hype seriously that rise to become great men " Vega replied humbly, not flexing on Julian at all.
Sighing, Julian took a seat beside Vega and reclined backwards as he began talking about how close the first disc raid was and how he had nightmares about the fact that the first disc to be raided might be theirs.
At this moment if one were to look at the two vampires, they would think they were the bestest of friends as they talked heart to heart and confided in each other insecurities that could never be made public.

( Meanwhile Asiva in Dombivli )
To say that Asiva was skipping from toe to toe when she received Max's battle report would have been an understatement.
The pride and joy that the Bloodfall clan citizens felt at their leader and warriors at this moment was unprecedented.
In this war where there were a 1000 orbs to be destroyed by the whole light faction, 87 had been destroyed so far and 7 of those were directly contributed by the Bloodfall clan.
This meant that about 8% of the entire light faction's progress had been contributed by them while having thwarted an absolutely overwhelming force from being able to claim their orb in what could only be described as a monumental win.
Lanterns were lit outside every house as if it was the new year to celebrate this victory and although there were no imperial orders from the palace, the people themselves celebrated the news as if it were the happiest and most prideful day of their lives.
For a few days, crime dropped to an absolute 0 within all Bloodfall planets as recruitment for the next batch of soldiers reached a peak with many hesitating youngsters willingly showing up for the mandatory training.
The clan had proven to the universe that the forces of good could prevail against all odds and everyone back home wanted to be able to share this glory. They wanted to participate in this war so that they could tell their kids and grandkids someday that yes, your grandfather was there the day that Lord Ravan defeated the forces of evil.
Not only on Dombivili, the name of the Bloodfall clan resounded throughout the entire vampire society and the universe with netizens across the universe commenting on their monumental win.
The article published on Radiance, the new home of Earthlings read like this
" The Elite Connection To Victory "
It highlighted the connection of the Bloodfall clan and True Elites guild via Max Rajput and highlighted the fact that although earth's hero was fighting from some other camp, he was still cooperating with earthlings in the end.
Comparisons between him and Ravan were also brought up as they were depicted as the closest of friends and the ultimate buddies.
A picture of both Ravan and Max standing side by side was published in the Twilight clan newspaper and the article read
" The Titans of the New Era "
It highlighted both the young guys achievements and invoked a thought of who was better amongst the two between all readers.
Banter like
" Ravan is better than Max because he killed more tier6 gods " or
" Max is better than Ravan because he drove back 3 god's at once "
Became common topic of discussion amongst vampires and humans at bars, pubs and even soldier camps as they debated intensely on who was stronger.
Undoubtedly this battle and it's result reverberated throughout the universe with all the monarchs and opposing sovereigns becoming fully aware of its details.
It was undoubtedly Max's moment to shine, if there was any major power who was unaware he existed, that anonymity ended today.
But along with all the fame, the target on his back became that much bigger.
He had managed to somehow win this battle, but how much longer could he survive when the parties whose attention he had brought by winning this battle were 2-3 tiers stronger than he was.
