Chapter 341: A game of chess (1/2)

Rudra was walking down the palace halls , on his way out , with the divine nine Tailed Fox in his arms , when suddenly Furball leaped out of Rudra's hands and started to growl at the ground.

At first Rudra did not understand the reason behind furballs actions , but upon furballs repeated growling , Rudra paid close attention to observe faint traces of dark mana around him.

Rudra immediately activated eyes of truth .

[ Tracker undead ] : High level undead ideal to spy on any opponent , nearly undetectable , although they have no combat prowess , they are the perfect audio and visual relay back to the caster.

Rudra's eyes widened in disbelief , Aman was tailing him , meaning he suspected Rudra of some foulplay. Rudra picked Furball up , as the guards gave Rudra a stern look for the misbehaviour of his pet.

Rudra patted Furball and told her to be quiet. Furball immediately obliged , not growling at the tailing undead anymore. Meanwhile Rudra's brain started to work like a super computer , making a ploy within a ploy.

His enemy had played a hidden card , and now that he knew about it , his mind started to make a plan about how to convert it to his advantage. He wanted to play Aman using his own spy.

Within seconds , the ultimate schemer , thought of a sinister and intricate scheme to play Aman..... And probably profit a little bit from the endeavour as well.

Rudra used guild chat to inform the gang that he was coming back to the guild , and that the next entire conversation was going to be a ruse , which Rudra had no time to explain and that it was imperative that everyone played along.

Rudra also told Karna to go invite Patricia over back to the guild. While he purposefully stalled his time in the palace , acting like a man who accidentally kept taking wrong turns and going into restricted areas he was not supposed to.

The royal guards gave multiple warnings to Rudra , who used his weight as a duke of the kingdom to press heavily on the guards , who had no choice but respect his nobility.

Rudra found a suitable spot for the gang to mass teleport , as he whispered into Furball's ears to memorize the location. By the he was back at the guild , his teammates had all assembled , even Patricia was there , who was giving Rudra worried looks.

Prince Aman was intently looking at the development through his magic crystal , he was annoyed when the pet started to bark at his servants, but Aman did not believe Rudra could see through tier 4 concealment magic , hence thought nothing much of it. However Rudra intentionally getting lost within the palace aroused his suspicions that he was upto something.
