Chapter 704 A new resolve

Rudra felt like his old self again after going through the terror of almost losing his family. He felt like a humble kid whose only ambition in life was to keep his mother safe from cancer and make his father proud.

The mental torture he went through in the few minutes of uncertainty about his family's fate transformed him completely as for the first time since his rebirth he started to look at the bigger picture rather than his own selfish interests .

Should he wish to , he could probably kill hundereds if not thousands of rebels inside the upside at this moment , but he did not wish to shed a single drop of blood where it wasn't necessary anymore as rather than thinking upon how to annihilate them , he started to think on how to settle this matter with the least casualties.

Rudra was still the mastermind schemer like he always was , but listening to Nero 's words and experiencing the consequences of his own ignorance he finally felt like since he was in a position to do good and be a hero , he should grasp that chance and truly try to be a role model that others could follow rather than a man who had the world at his feet.

The track where he was heading down towards had only one end for him where he was going to stand at the pinnacle of the world with everyone else at his feet , but that was not the ambition he had in his past life , as his true goal was not only to be the strongest guildmaster, but rather to be an undeniable icon who was a symbol of n.o.ble yet just power.

In his past life he was backstabbed by his colleague and pushed down the stairs , and he found that detestable so much so that upon his rebirth, he did not even wish to see the face of that man again!

However, now that he himself contemplated on killing innocent doctors just to save his father , he finally understood that he had became the same man he had so vehemently detested once and had mama rajput not intervened, he would truly have became one.

Coming back from the edge of falling into darkness , Rudra saw the light once more as his mind gained clarity of every single fault he was making as a man .

A beautiful family reunion made Rudra feel a myriad of emotions in his heart as he understood that no matter how much gold he ever gained in Omega, this was the most precious thing to him in the world , and he needed to understand that just like him , there were countless families in the underprivileged areas except the upside as well which were currently struggling for even basic food day to day.

Rudra had been one of those underprivileged once upon a time , and he could understand their pain in such a situation , however his success and his own situation had made him blind to their peril after his rebirth , but that was the case no more.

Rudra rolled out of the building but made sure not to go too far as his father was still very weak and needed to undergo medical treatment although Rudra had saved his life.

With his family inside , he needed to guard them at all times , but he also needed to stop the fighting before it got out of hand.

Currently, SMG's black ops were slaughtering the rebels by the hundereds, as the untrained rebels who had barely managed to master a few moves were no match for the highly trained cultivator a.s.sa.s.sins who lived and breathed to kill.

The trained security force of the upside , they did their jobs in securing the perimeter as ever since they joined the fight the rebels stood no chance and were unable to advance a single block while having to fall back 5 .

SMG spotted Rudra outside the hospital and instantly moved towards him , as Rudra relayed to him his order " don't kill , push them back ,round them up , but don't kill .... these are humans too , and instigated humans at that who are just looking for food. W-we cant kill them for it ".

SMG was shocked to hear this order as he blinked twice while looking at Rudra. This was quite unlike Rudra's usual orders to kill everyone moving , as the only reason Rudra even created the black ops was for situations like these.

Nonetheless an order was an order and Rudra's orders were supreme amongst all elites , and SMG immediately transmitted them over the intercom as the fighting style of the black ops changed significantly.

It was an unusual order for them , as the black ops had never been trained to round people up alive , but they did their best , by maiming and threatening the opponents back ,rather than killing them.

Sometimes one or two died but it was inevitable as it was done out of self defense, but in the end all of the 10,020 survivors were rounded up around the one small building of the hospital upon Rudra's orders.

Rudra looked at the terror on their faces as they stared at the army of black ops surrounding them alongside armed upside police , as they finally understood how stupid their plan was to invade the homeplace of the elites.

Closing his eyes Rudra calmed his senses down , as he prepared a sensitive speach to be spoken from the bottom of his heart , as he said " Rebels ..... I will not kill you here today , Not even restrain or jail you.

You stormed this towns.h.i.+p to look for food and medicine and i understand your motive. However you killed the residents in the process and we retalitated in kind and killed some of yours.

Im sure this is not how either of us wanted to spend the day should everything be normal , but these are extraordinary times we live in and the future of our race as a whole is uncertain.

You all may know me , i am Rudra Rajput better known as guildmaster Shakuni of the Elites, I'm the one who runs the blackops that killed your men , and here at this moment , i would like to apologise for the deaths caused in battle today ".

Rudra made a 90 bow towards the rebels , who were shocked by his speech.

The victor of the battle and such a great man was bowing to the losers?

Just what the h.e.l.l was going on?

Although n.o.body knew what Rudra was upto , his gesture definitely grabbed everyone's attention.
