Chapter 41 Rudra's POV
( Rudra's POV )
Rudra was enjoying his weekend with Naomi and the newborn twins at the Rajput mansion when he received a message from Max.
Usually, Rudra would not check any messages when he was hanging around Naomi because his wife always flipped senseless whenever she saw him using his phone to do work even when he was home, however, this time around Rudra checked the message instantly since the sender was Max.
Recently Rudra had been extremely worried about Max. The local authorities had reported a murder to Rudra with Max being the prime suspect in the investigation, however, Rudra waved the investigation off, not letting the authorities bring Max in for questioning.
While Rudra was happy that Max got rid of his toxic girlfriend Sophie, he was not sure that the method used was the correct one.
Max thought he had cleverly assassinated Sophie, leaving no evidence behind, however, in reality, his execution was anything but perfect with two cameras picking his photos on his way to her house with his outfit and demeanor all screaming ' Guilty ' to any onlooker as it was clear that Max was deliberately avoiding all camera footage.
Rudra was not an idiot, he need not see much proof to know what actually went down, however, he actively decided to turn a blind eye to whatever went down, using his power to bury the matter.
Rudra loved Max very much and was very happy to see him on the live stream where it was revealed that he had already amassed a million gold coins.
Being a reincarnator himself, Rudra knew that this impossible sounding feat was just Max playing his reincarnation knowledge cards right, however, it still filled his heart with joy and happiness to see his brother find his footing in the universe.
Rudra opened the message and his mood went from happy to grim within an instant as he realised that Max was in danger and possibly being held captive by some Saint Maximus Clan.
Rudra ordered his personal A.I. Gaia to pull up information on the Saint Maximus Clan, and began researching the clan and the planet that Max had sent him even though Max had asked him to wait one day for the next message, on the off-chance that everything was not okay.
The Saint Maximus Clan had a tier 6 god as their patriarch and apparently were the 7th ranked clan under the Vampire King Regus Aurelius, who was a tier 8 powerhouse.
A war with the Saint Maximus Clan risked a war with the vampire king himself, however, Rudra did not care for it if it meant saving his brother.
Optimistically, he alone should be powerful enough to obliterate the Saint Maximus Clan alone, however, should the fight spill out and invite bigger powers, he would need support.
Rudra knew exactly who he needed to contact in such a situation, as Rudra ordered Gaia to connect him to his sister, Patricia Won Knight.
If there was any power in the universe that would unquestionably have Rudra's back, it had to be the Won Knights.
Rudra's full character name was Shakuni Won Knight, as he was brought into the family by the then leader Patricia Won Knight in the tutorial game Omega.
The Won Knight family was influential even within the tutorial game, maintaining a huge private army and owning lots of Land, however, it was a drop in the ocean when compared to the real Won Knight family in the wide universe.
The founder of the family, Augustus Won Knight was still alive and kicking, and was an Explosion Artist whose weapons were coveted across the universe.
Although he had given up the operational role to Patricia Won Knight, the Beast Queen. His presence as a tier 8 powerhouse with many connections helped the Won Knight family enjoy high prestige in the universe.
If Rudra were to go against the Vampire King, he needed the backing of the Won Knights to be a deterrent in conflict.
Rudra was slightly anxious when he messaged Patricia, it was a very selfish move for him to contact her only in his time of need and not before. A crime for which he was guilty not only today but also time and time again inside Omega.
But knowing her forgiving nature, Rudra smiled and messaged her anyways, because he knew that his big sister was benevolent.
The reply came instantly, and Rudra smiled reading it as the message read
' I was wondering when you will need me '.
Rudra: ' Sorry big sister, due to unforeseen circumstances I may need to wipe out a vampire clan '
Patricia: ' Regus Aurelius's men? '
Rudra: ' Yes '
p
Rudra: ' You have my back? '
Patricia: 'Of course I do, but don't provoke him if possible, this fight may be costlier than we are capable of handling '.
Rudra: ' Gotcha. ;) '
Patricia: ' Don't smile you, oaf, you only ever text me when you need something from me :| '
Rudra: ' Sowwy '
Patricia: ' Get lost … and please act your age '.
Rudra put his phone down, grinning ear to ear as Naomi stared a hole through his chest.
Rudra gulped nervously seeing his wife's angry expression, as Naomi asked in an icy tone " Who were you texting my dear husband? "
Rudra had to scramble to prove his innocence.
In Rudra's experience, if there was one thing that was more dangerous than a warrior's battle sense, it was a woman's instincts on whether or not her man was cheating on her.
When it came to matters of the heart, women had an unparalleled acumen that was not understandable by men at all and Naomi seemed to have those senses in abundance.
The couple had a friendly fight for a while until Rudra got the dreaded SOS message from Max, which resulted in him switching from lovable husband to deadly god in an instant.
Instantly equipping his armor and swords, Rudra was ready to roll into battle.
