Chapter 229 - The Quest (2)

( Virtual world , south of Tolaknagar village )

Rudra had been scouting the bandit camp for about 20 minutes now , and had got the location for 16 of the 17 fighters , whereas one was missing.

Rudra had also located where the hostages had been kept , if he wished so , he could sneak behind the guards watch and free the two men . However unfortunately he was undergoing the knights promotion quest , the sneaky way was not the way of the knights , a true knight always faced his enemies with honor , that was the way.

Rudra sighed , he had one of the stupidest classes when it came to class IQ , doing things honorably was soo much more difficult than just murdering everyone and free the hostages.

However Rudra's thoughts were cut short as a small kid playing with pebbles accidentally discovered his hiding location .

The kid was a little malnourished brat with a running nose , he was absolutely terrified when he saw Rudra squatting behind a bush in full armour.

He screamed as he ran back to the village shouting " MOM , MOM A STRANGER IS POOPING BEHIND THE BUSHES , YOU SAID NEVER LET ME POOP THERE ".

Rudra " ......".

His honor as a knight went straight down the drain in a single minute , he immediately stood up , he did not want any misunderstandings about his squatting posture.

Immediately the bandits were alarmed , as they gathered near Rudra to intimidate him and chase him away.

Rudra , saw the bandits gathering , as within a minute over 13 of them had gathered to Rudra's location.

One of them said " Begone stranger , else this ground will be where you rest permanently ".

Rudra laughed as he said " Bandits , release the innocent hostages and turn yourself in to the local authorities in Tolaknagar village , you have been reported to have stolen food from agricultural fields , and have taken two merchants hostage. Hence in the name of the sun of the kingdom , his high eminence Emperor Aman , I Shakuni am here to bring you to justice ".

Rudra gave his best knight like speach , one full of honour and pride.

However obviously it fell on deaf ears , as three bandits charged at Rudra. Rudra was not worried , the bandits were no threat to him , in a physical confrontation.

He easily dodged their attacks and kept using non lethal physical attacks like punches and kicks to inflict some damage.

When it became abundantly clear that Rudra had an absolute advantage in combat , another 6 bandits with swords joined the Frey to attack him.

Now against a one v nine situation , Rudra became more vigilant as he started to feel a little pressure.

( Meanwhile real world , somewhere in USA)

President Joe Biden was in a conference room with Elon Musk and the other cabinet ministers. Having serious talks about the coming VR Olympics.

Musk said " The proposition sent by President Shinzo is not bad , I think we should sign it , also we should sign a treaty of alliance, if any one of the trans Atlantic nations have a spot in the top five yearly , they must enforce VETO if requested by the other three nations. That way we will have four times the security and soo will they , it's a win - win for everyone ".

Minister A : I agree with mr Musk , we should add that clause , the trans Atlantic nations must ally , with four powerful countries like India , USA , Australia and Japan allying we can easily form the strongest alliance.

Minister B : there is already the allied European union , there is also a middle eastern union , and recently It was rumored that , Pakistan , China , Afghanistan and Sri Lanka have formed a alliance ".

Minister A sneered " The most shady alliance of them all ! ".

For the first time in the meeting , president Biden said something " While relying on others is not the way USA does things , I have to agree that allying makes more sense , send a proposal to the countries formally , I will have a personal video call with all the heads tonight ".

Elon Musk nodded , he said " I will also talk with Ethan Grey , see if us buisnessmen could cook up something to help the cause. ".

With the VR Olympics drawing closer by the day , the time to select and train athletes was shortening.

The ever important first VR Olympics was less than 90 days away!!!

( Meanwhile, somewhere inside Purplehaze city ) Skyla and Bo were walking down the street , with men often turning around and openly gawking at the beauty of Skyla.

Skyla wore a very revealing armour that put her ample mounds in full display , and only a thin strap covering the essentials . She was the incarnation of a norse valkyrie with her long sword hung around her back.

Bo asked Skyla " Are you never bothered by the looks these lewd men give you? ".

Skyla laughed and replied " Well , not really , to be honest it's a compliment , not everyone has the natural charm that I do , I'm gifted with beauty by God , I am just trying to use that gift to perfection".

Bo replied " I doubt anyone could resist your charms with the way you dress ".

Skyla looked down at her own outfit and gave a smirk , she said " I know right , it's a honey trap , however unfortunately it does not work on the men I want it to work on ".

Bo was puzzled as he asked " who is the great man who can resist your charms ? ".

Skyla pursed her lips as she said " Well actually many men can , Sir Jhonny is one of them , then there is the monk Yume , guild leader Shakuni too , however those don't bother me , they are great men and I respect them a lot , what bothers me is that vice guild leader Karna doesn't pay me any attention too ".

Bo teased " ohhh , why you like him or something? ".

Skyla blushed , it made her look like a true Vixen , however incredibly appealing at that moment , she said " Yes , I met him in the real world in the Elite tower , he is soo muscular and handsome , but has such a gentle personality ".

She licked her lips as she seductively said " A delicious snack ".

Bo gulped a mouthful of saliva .... Being around Skyla for too long was dangerous.

He said " Well , keep him near you for sometime , I'm sure your beauty can melt even the thickest glaciers in one's heart ".

Skyla looked at Bo with discerning eyes as she said " Aww , aren't you a cutie ".

Bo rolled his eyes , this woman was hard to read , wether what she was saying was her true emotions or her just teasing you , you could never truly understand.

Bo secretly prayed for the well being of the vice guild master , as he had gained the affection of a very dangerous woman .

Just the very thought of Skyla being committed and in a relationship with someone gave him goosebumps , she was pretty alright , but he doubted that she was girlfriend material.

But then again , she was such a tremendous spy , maybe beneath all this , she was truly just a normal girl.
