Chapter 892 A Brotherly Fight
Rudra walked towards Max in a terrifying rage and Max just stood there his eyes closed as he awaited the tight slap to land on his face.
Max shivered violently, tears already streaming down his face as he awaited his punishment, however shockingly the punishment never came.
Somehow Rudra's boundless love for Max did not allow for the elder brother to hit his younger one as Rudra's hand froze mid-air before he could land a slap on the young one's face.
When Max opened his teary eyes , two tears rolled down however there was no pain in his body as he wondered what was going on, when he found Rudra staring dead into his eyes.
" When were you going to tell me Max? " Rudra said in a hoarse voice that had an angry edge to it , one could easily figure out that Rudra was trying hard to hold the anger in as he spoke.
Max bit his lip, he could make a solid case for himself at this moment, however only a spineless idiot would put all the blame on the sickly sister in law in order to escape judgement.
" I SAID WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME? YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS NO? " Rudra asked once more , his voice more aggressive this time as the glass on the vending machine and the far end of the hallway broke from Rudra's powerful voice.
Max who still shivered in fear , did not lose eyecontact as he said " Y-yes i knew "
However, as to when he was going to inform Rudra, Max held his silence.
Rudra waited and waited for Max's explanation, he could see in his brothers eyes that it had a million words to say but not a single whisper came out of his mouth.
" Very well, hold your tongue, hold it well, because as of today im not talking to you again brother".
Saying so , Rudra shoved Max aside as he went to the end of the hallway and jumped out of the window, going off into the distance to vent his frustrations out.
A primal roar could be heard all over the upside moments later as a massive explosion was visible in the sky, however there was no fight or threat , as it was simply Rudra getting rid of the excess energy and emotions in his body to try and calm down.
Max knew he had made the biggest mistake of his life and now there was no going back.
Today's fight was different from other fights with his brother because Max knew this was one fight where a simple apology would no longer resolve things between them.
The elites present expressed their condolences to Max, however Karna was harsh on him as he pointed out that Max did the wrong thing by not informing Rudra about such an important thing.
Neatwit insisted that Max should have trusted his brother to find a solution, because in the end Rudra always did! And the fact that he witheld such important information from his brother was just a blunder on his part.
The women comforted Max.
Yua and Skyla could understand why Max did what he did and they protected him fiercely from against the guys and soon the situation in the hotel lounge calmed down.
There were no celebrations, the day was completely ruined and so was the surprise where everyone was going to gift Rudra and Naomi sone baby clothes, instead only an uneasy calm before the storm remained as Rudra high above the earth's atmosphere contemplated about how to save his wife.
The A.I. Gaia said " The way she is, the likelihood of her surviving the first awakening is very low "
This was not the news that Rudra wanted to hear at all as this bothered him to no- limits.
" Why? " Rudra asked Gaia a concise question and the answer baffled him.
Gaia explained how mana itself was a pure flowing river and that under normal circumstances it would be a clear drinkable liquid if picked from the flowing river, however just like an old tap in the house that had not been used for ages , when the mana barrier broke and the first awakening occured , the mana rushing in would have a lot of impurities and be like a muddy water.
It would be these impurities that would choke the mana veins of many humans or cause a poisoning effect as many humans who had not already attuned themselves to the force by reaching higher levels in Omega would die as a result.
After Gaia ended her explanation, Rudra asked " How many humans will die at the first awakening? "
Gaia remained silent for a moment before she replied " 60% of humans , nearly 90% of all less sentient animal life will most likely die.
So dozens of billions ".
It was a hard pill for Rudra to swallow , the projected number was too much! However this was not a problem that Rudra had any solution to, even he could not keep the wheels of fate from turning, what was going to happen was going to happen.
What Rudra could do was to ensure that his planet was not overrun by alien forces on the day of the first awakening by being there to drive them off.
" DAMN IT " , Rudra cursed as he slowly descended from the sky and made his way back to the hospital.
He needed to be there with his wife and kids , no matter how little time there was, every second that he wasted alone venting was a moment he would lose being with them.
Unsurprisingly, the only people waiting in the lobby when Rudra returned were Yua and Skyla, both of whom gave Rudra a glare filled with anger and pity.
Rudra nodded their way as he went into the E.R to spend some time with his family.
