( True Elites guildhall ) 

Rudra couged twice , he was in a precarious position , regarding the identity of Augustus Won Knight , also he had no explanation for Amelia , the true elites being such a small guild , a recruitment would not go unnoticed by her.

Even fatty kalash said " Somethings very very fishy here .... Hmmmm , she is right Ruru ". 

Rudra wanted to just smack those fat cheeks off kalash , ' that dumb ba****** has no clue whats going on here , and just wanted to act cool infront of Amelia. Also TF is RURU? ' Rudra thought in his mind , however the problem at hand was bigger. 

Rudra decided to bullshit his way through this one as he said " Its actually like this , a few days ago when i cleared the bell challenge , there was this player , a nobody called Augustus Won Knight , he believed himself to be untouchable , the best player in the game , and he tried to show me down ". 

Both Amelia and Kalash were listening intently at this point 

Rudra continued " soo he challenged me to a one on one fight ..... However me having nothing to proove , did not accept". 

Both of them nodded , this made perfect sense soo far. 

" Then the lunatic threatened to take the elites down with an NPC army that he became the commander off through completing a special quest ". Rudra exclaimed , a little shock in his voice 

Both Amelia and Kalash gasped , they were hooked in the story. 

" I naturally could not let that happen , but seeing the worth in the NPC army behind him , i put a condition to fight him , that should i win , he will become a rogue agent for True Elites". 

Both Amelia and Kalash looked at each other ... Now the story seemed a little farfetched .. why make him a rogue agent? Why not a member? 

Kalash raised his hand , like a student in a 1st grade class. 

" Yes ... Fatty ". Rudra said 

" Why dint you outright make him a member? ". Kalash asked. 

Rudra sighed , how could he tell them , it was because Amelia counted all members joining the guild. 

He said " the man is a lunatic and a free spirit , i judged him unworthy of the Elite culture ". 

Both had their mouths agape , the leader was amazing! 

" We had a fight , i won easy ". Rudra boasted 

Both started clapping now , impressed with Rudra's antics. 

" Thats how we gained this hidden trump card , now i hope the information doesnt spread out , okay guys ? Can i trust you on that?. ". 

They nodded affirming Rudra. 

" Now for the official story, make Augustus Won Knight a part of the guild and make the NPC army a one time use card that we dont have anymore .....even amongst the guild members , let this matter become a suspense. For the individual adventurer parties and third rate guilds wanting to ally , politely turn them down , for the declining sales problem of the lifestyle store , make sure to first prepare the advanced mana potion in bulk , when we have enough stash , i will personally do a grand product launch ..... Now if only Karna clears the dungeon , everything will be allright ". 

Well atleast he had one less problem on his plate now.

Great he thought , one problem down! ..... Just when he was about to rejoice though , a NPC servant declared the arrival of PinkLotus.

Rudra's heart just ached for a second at that name .... Soo yua was here huh? 

Rudra instantly got serious.

( PurpleHaze city , Hazelgroove kingdom , outside the true elites guild headquarters ) 

Yua was chosen as the alliance's chosen member to go and negotiate with the True Elites guild. She had actively seeked the role as she wanted to take the opportunity to sort things between herself and Rudra. 

There was this weird guilt panging up inside her that made her twist and turn in her bed these days , she kept wondering what Rudra thought about her. 

Sometimes she was mad at Rudra and pretended like she dint care about his opinion , sometimes she just wanted to spam messages to him and demand a reply. However her pride got the better of her as she could never press send. 

Finally, today she got a good chance to clear the air , she felt nervous and exited at the same time , somewhere down inside she knew today was going to be a disaster , yet she could not wait to meet Rudra and atleast state her mind out. 

Even now she was a alliance representative and had to talk buisness too , also try and gain a upper hand in today's negotiations. She was also responsible to pry open the secrets of the true elites guild members and gain more intel on the mysterious player Augustus Won Knight , however for Yua all that could wait. 

She was not neglecting it. She was a strong career driven woman , however somethings were just more important than career , and that was morals. She needed to clear th air for herself . 

Yua was escorted by two NPC's into the guild hall. 

Kalash and Amelia took their leave , well not before Amelia threw dirty glances at Yua , when she entered the hall. 

Yua felt weird when Amelia looked at her that way , a million thoughts crossed her mind at that point , at first she felt ashamed. As she actually did deserve it. Then she thought , does that girl like Rudra? , She is his kind of assistant afterall? Is she jealous of me? 

No wait what am i thinking? I need to focus!

Rudra and she were left alone , in the luxurious True Elites hall to talk .

Yua said " Listen i need to clarify somethings ...". 

Rudra said in a deep voice " Go on ..... ".
