Rudra never thought about Parallax's offer seriously , the benefit that triple gold medal gave to a player was incomparable to anything that Parallax could offer him. Although Rudra wanted to rattle the man a bit , he never thought that the mighty Parallax would be reduced to a spineless beggar.

This scene just revolted Rudra inside out , he hated nothing more than these spineless cowards. Even in his past life when he was a nobody , he would always fight his opponents no matter how much the power gap , till the very end, till the very last HP.

Maybe it is the difference between the weak and the strong. A person can get flashy equipment and with hardwork one can level up. However what one cannot control... What one cannot change , is character. No amount of hardwork or talent or circumstance can forge temper.

If one is a wimp deep down, no matter how much they try to paint themselves as the lion , then the moment the flashy things above are stripped away , he would show his real colors. Some people naturally bow to the strong and bully the weak , it's ingrained in their nature. However these types of people are born to live in servitude.

Those who treat the strong the same as the weak , and have the courage to challenge the strong , only they can surpass them to become stronger. Rudra knew he was imperfect in a lot of areas , he had a lot of flaws , however his character was solid. He neither bowed to the strong , nor oppressed the weak. Wether it is Ethan Grey or a random person on the street , the way he talks to them is the same.

He wanted to teach Parallax a lesson today , just because of this disgust , he wanted to open his eyes to the real world that the guy was soo desperately trying to avoid.

Rudra said ” Ohhh , what can you offer me? ”.

Parallax's eyes shined , he felt like he maybe able to negotiate with Rudra , as he said ” I will give you about 2 million gold , all my equipment after the VR Olympics end , which included three pieces of epic equipment and 4 pieces of dark gold equipment. Plus you can ask three favours from me that I cannot deny .... Say ... Say good deal for you eh? , Now let me take my sword and kill you”.

The audience was dumbfounded... Rudra could not actually be thinking about taking the deal right....?

The entire crowd again became pin drop silent.

Parallax crawled to the part where he dropped his sword , however just as he tried to pick it up , Rudra stepped on it. Parallax looked up gulping... What did Rudra want?

Rudra said ” How can I trust you won't renege on our deal after the competition ends... Where is the contract? ”.

Parallax frowned , he genuinely had no intention of not fulfilling Rudra's demands , he would have actually followed through with it , however Rudra was doubting him now , ofcourse he did not have a contract lying around in his inventory at this very moment.

He said ” I'm a man of my word , such things are unnecessary ”.
