<h4>Chapter 336 - Unexpected</h4>


    The world reacted strongly to Rudra making Hao Mi walk down Purplehaze city while being pelted with rotten eggs anc tomatoes. Somemended Rudra for his bravery and his spine to stand-up against the chinese triads soo vocally.


    While some imed his actions to be downright stupid. There would always be people like that , who would find faults with everything. For them making a woman parade on the city streets while being pelted by rotten eggs and Tomatoes was a traumatic experience to watch , they felt that it was excessive of Rudra , and that in this exchange he was the real bad guy.


    A heated debate ensued the world forums , as the Elites were in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons. However , one thing was absolute and that was the fact that Hao Mi lost a lot of face because of Rudra. With the world news covering this event , it was a well known stain on the reputation of the emphatic triad leader.


    Hence the fact that the other two triads rejected her appeal to send men to capture and murder Rudra and his family inside the upside , made her flip out. Not only was she rejected entry into the upside , but also told that if they even got a whiff of fouly from her , and that any of her men evenid their eyes on the upside. She would be emunicated and hunted by the other two triad factions .


    Hao Mi found this entire situation to be uneptable , unaware of the prowess Ethan Grey had. She kept asking them for answers. Ethan Grey was a character she hated to the core , which was partly the reason why she wanted to buy the Elites , and rub it in his face and gloat. However , things did not go as she had nned.


    Frustrated she could only turn to inside Omega , as she gave orders to raise the most terrifying batallion within Omega to take down Purplehaze city.


    She explicitlymanded to find ways to get past the city walls , and their massive archballistae. They had roughly 8 and a half months time , before the protection period ended , and an attack could beunched on the city.


    And Hao Mi swore to get her revenge the exact day that the protection period was over!


    What she did not know however , was the rising dissatisfaction under her leadership by her troops. When a leader looses face , soo does their subordinates and many were dissatisfied with the image of their boss. A neer within her ranks was aware of this fact , and with a skill to y both sides to gain maximum favour. Edge Rothschild was quickly rising through the ranks of her organization.


    Tasked withing up with countermeasures for the Elites , he was indeed working his butt off earnestly trying to think of ways to destroy Purplehaze city. All the while trying to fan the mes of the faction , dissatisfied with Hao Mi.


    Edge''s n was simple , he wanted to rise to the position ofmander , lead the troops to a glorious victory at Purplehaze city , and then create a mutiny , to be the new leader! .


    And for this toe true , the True Elites , his old nemesis stood in his way , and this time he wanted to make sure to bury them 6 feet under properly! , That one single move that Rudra dished out , was a source of his nightmare . He could not get over it , he knew he could not get over it untill he chopped off Rudra''s head.

    ( Royal Library , Purplehaze city)


    Rudra was within the Royal Library , trying to gain information about the lostnd of dragon''s. Rudra found a few books that pertained to this issue , where he found out invaluable information about the actual dragon kingdom , it''s customs and its magnificent structures , but he could not find the geographical location of the kingdom of dragons. Only vague descriptions were present. However one positive sign that he recieved from his deduction capabilities was that it was atleast present in the nothern hemisphere. Because the seasons as described inside the books coincided with those in the nothern hemisphere.


    Soo atleast the Southern continent could be ruled out , as not a feasible location. While Rudra continued to wrack his brains over the issue , an unexpected problem arrived for him.


    Patricia won knight was looking for him , and it seemed urgent. The moment Rudra crossed eyes with Patricia , she only said " Come with me , urgent".


    No conversation , no time for Rudra to reject , he was forced to follow his sister , back to the won knight mansion. Rudra did not know reason behind this visit , but he was pretty sure that Patricia could have sent a servant to fetch him rather thanming personally.


    However when a second Patricia walked down the steps of the mansion , Rudra was a little bit surprised. The first one dissapeared into thin smoke , when the second one came ..... It was the tier three skill Doppelganger , Rudra had heard about it ... But it was his first time seeing it in action. He had to admit , it was very impressive!


    Patricia said " Hello little brother , you maybe wondering why I called you soo urgently , however what I will tell you now must not leave the walls of this room , it will decide the fate of our family and this kingdom. Soo listen carefully ... Prince Aman , that b***** , is not the rightful king. Emperor Cervantez is still alive and locked up within a strange illusion barrier , the prince has lied to me and to our people , he is no king. Just a rebel sitting on the throne. We the Won knight only serve the one true king and now that our leige is in trouble we must save him! ".
