Chapter 467 Confrontation And Regrets
?
( Dombivli City )
Only after entering Dombivli City did Max relax a bit as he let the drain catch up to him.
Although on the surface, he looked confident of winning that fight, the truth was that he had a lot of psychological pressure to not fail.
It was not easy to be the champion of a planet and carry the hopes and aspirations of billions of individuals, but he did carry it to the best of his abilities.
Only now that he had won and was back to his home planet did he finally relax and reassess as he felt a little regretful for killing Eden accidentally.
Despite the kids faults, there was no doubt that he was a skilled fighter and if the circumstances had been a bit different, Max was hoping that after the fight he could request Eden to teach him the ' Elite Blast ' attack.
That move could unquestionably become one of the very best moves in his arsenal up until the point where he became a god and learnt actual divine moves.
Walking towards the palace, Max entered a dark alley and changed his appearance from Max Rajput back to Ravan Bloodfall, as gone was the scar and back was the mask and blood red eyes.
As he walked through the streets of Dombivli as Ravan, the respect and love he received by the common citizens who smiled and bowed as he passed was a testament of him being a noble ruler, as they did not seem to hate or fear him, but seemed to have a deep felt admiration for him.
The city reconstruction efforts were almost complete, and the war affected districts had been completely renovated at the government's expense.
Not a single commoner was forced to bear the brunt of the Bloodfall clan's war and because of this, Ravan was very popular amongst his subjects.
Not only did he promise to take care of them, but he was visibly delivering and probing that his promises were not just empty words of a politician.
Upon entering the palace, Max expected a smiling Asiva to hug and greet him for coming back from a victorious battle, however, he was instead met with the scene of an angry dictator being seated on his throne looking down on him with condescending eyes.
" How graceful of you to return my Lord, I hope the journey back home was comfortable" Asiva said in a sarcastic tone as Max could feel both his hearts race at once.
He began thinking of everything he could have done wrong and then tried to figure out which one of his crimes was Asiva mad at.
" Yes….? " Max said, sounding half unsure as he waited for Asiva to tell him herself as to why she was angry.
" Did you come back directly or did my Lord need an eight tentacle massage to relieve his stress of the battle first?
If the lord has not already relaxed, I can arrange for an escort to be called to the palace if he so wishes, " Asiva said as Max's face became ashen pale.
' She knows! ' Max and Drax said at the same time in Max's brain as Max had no idea about how to get out of this awkward situation.
' I bet it's the dwarf who gave you away boy, his big belly can't stomach even the smallest secret ' Drax murmured in Max's mind, putting all the blame of Max's current predicament on poor Sebastian.
Just how the netizens of planet #H2050 could not meet their eyes with those of Max after the fight. Max could not look into Asiva's at the moment as he stood silently as she ranted about falling in love with a pervert.
25 minutes and countless insults later, she decided to forgive Max abruptly as she flew into a hug and began sobbing on his chest.
Max tried to calm her down as he apologised and promised her that it won't become a regular occurrence and explained how it was just a harmless massage.
What perplexed Max more was how quickly the mood in the courtroom changed from him being scolded to him consoling Asiva all in the span of 30 minutes as he realised how little he knew about the world of women.
Although it was awkward to get caught, it was moments like these that assured Max that Asiva truly loved her.
If a woman like his ex girlfriend Sophie was in her place she would probably ignore the whole affair and not confront Max about it to not risk his ire, but Asiva did confront him and also cried at the end because the incident hurt her more than her scolding hurt him.
She cared for Max and was territorial about him, which was her way of expressing her love for him.
Making a mental note, Max swore to himself that he would not fool around in the future.
" Also, Prince Felix Aurelius wants to meet you, he knows that you have discovered the link between him and the Red Umbrella group and this makes him uncomfortable.
He's been targeting our merchants to get your attention and has forced my hand to set-up a meeting with him, " Asiva said as she moved on to more important topics.
" How typical…. " Max said as he sighed, half fed up with the life of a politician already.
" He will be here the first thing tomorrow morning. So we will need to push all your other meetings to the back, meaning you will have a very hectic next two days " Asiva said as she smiled sadly.
She had thought that after Max became a Lord the two would be able to spend a lot of quality time together, but the reality of the situation was that except for official work, the two hardly ever spent time with each other.
Something that she was truly spicy about.
But she could not blame Max over it, this was the life both of them had voluntarily chosen.
