"Who Rules the World: The Mortal Universe"


Chapter 34: The Hunt Begins


Part B: Western Tiger King!


Abhijeet looked at the sky and smiled, "Thanks, wifey!"

"I still don't understand why are you doing this? Just use your God of War's strength and crush them!", Mysterious Sky eyes said.

"Wifey, I want to destroy them like Abhijeet Srivastav. But you don't worry. I will be fine", Abhijeet winked at her eyes.

"Shameless," she whispered, "remember, you have to take care of yourself." Her mysterious sky-blue eyes disappeared.

Abhijeet smiled and pressed down hard on the accelerator.

BOOM!

Like a wild bull, his car raced toward the Tiger Mountain.

Abhijeet muttered, "They dare to offend me and even mobilize the army within my own country. Fine, I will teach them a lesson."

He touched the car's panel and called his subordinate.

Abhijeet said, "Arjun."

"General, I am here," said Arjun quickly.

"General Suryateja mobilized 10,000 Sky Knights without informing me. Did he inform the headquarters about this?" Abhijeet asked.

"No, not at all. Why did the general bring his army inside?", Arjun asked.

"To deal with me", he said laughing.

"What do you mean, General? What are you talking about?" Arjun's murderous voice was heard from the other side.

"Just listen", Abhijeet quickly explained everything about the matter.

Arjun is angry, but more than that, he is thrilled. "General, please allow us to participate in this matter."

He clenched his fist and awaited the positive answer.

Abhijeet laughed, "That's why I called you now. Bring 2,000 of your best Realm Army soldiers with you."

"Yes... yes General," Arjun's excited voice was heard on the other side and the call ended.

This man, he still hasn't forgotten those incidents," Abhijeet laughed and shook his head.

Long ago, the Southern Army challenged the Northern Army to prove its might.

But Abhijeet stopped them and warned them not to fight among themselves.

The Southern Army declared that the Northern Army is afraid of them and are cowards, but Abhijeet still ignored them.

The entire nation was totally amused by his decision and silence.

Most of them thought that the General of the North feared the Southern Great Army.

Very few of them such as the government, The Narang and other two armies knew that he doesn't want to embarrass their southern army so he ignored those arrogants.

However, no matter what the original intentions were, the entire nation believed that the Southern Great Army was the greatest power in the nation.


As Arjun slowly walked towards his troops, he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

He shouted, "Listen, everyone."

All those who were sleeping or engaged in casual conversation stood up straight.

"Yes, Captain," they all shouted in unison.

Arjun said, "After a long time, the Northern Realm army received a new mission."

"Huh...really? That's wonderful. It''. It's been a while since we used our fists and weapons." All of them immediately let go of their laziness and revealed their terrifying murderous auras.

"I am not finished yet," said Arjun, raising his voice.

The entire 2,000-strong army stopped talking and looked at him once again.

Arjun said, "Someone wants to kill the General of the North."

"How dare he? Who the hell is he? We don't care who they are... even if they are gods, we will raze them to the ground."

"Yes, our general is like a god to all of us. If they want to touch him, then they have to give their lives in return".

"Captain, who is so audacious as to attempt to harm our General?" they all shouted.

"10,000 Southern Sky Knights," Arjun coldly said.

The expressions of the Northern Realm warriors turned to anger.

"How dare they! Captain, this time we have to teach them an unforgettable lesson. We will make sure they will see the hell under our hands."

Arjun nodded, "The Southern General is trying to kill Mr. Srivatsav, the heir of the Srivatsav family. The unfortunate part is that the General doesn't know that Mr. Srivatsav is also the Northern Commander. However, he has provoked us this time... and another important thing, Madam Purvi has already informed us that she will not interfere in this battle."

They are all truly excited.

Madam said she won't stop them from fighting against them. That's really wonderful.

But...

Their expressions suddenly fell.

Arjun laughed, "Guys, you don't have to worry."

His expression suddenly turned into fury; "General has given us the green signal. We are officially going to fight against the Southern Army," he said, raising his fist and punching the air.

"Hurrah!", The entire Northern Realm army shouted excitedly.

This is their biggest dream.

They suppressed their anger and strength due to the stern warning from their God.

But now God Himself has cleared their path.

So there is no way they can sit behind us.

"Jai Shri Ram," Arjun shouted.

"Jai Shri Ram!"

"Jai Shri Ram!"...

The entire Northern Realm's fighters roared, and the battle energy spread throughout the entire northern region.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the sky darkened and was filled with thunderstorms.

All those people in the Northern Empire thought...

"Something terrible is going to happen."

After so many years, The Legendary Northern Army is going to war.

Arjun and his 2,000-strong army marched towards the Western Territory.


Abhijeet has been in talks with the Western Commander Hanuman.

"Mr. Hanuman, I don't have any other choice; that's why I need my people in this fight", Abhijeet said with a smile.

"Oh, God of War! There is no need for you to ask my opinion on this matter. You are the face of our entire army. Even my own army falls under your command. It's such a pity that Surya did not recognize you", General Hanuman sighed.

"By the way, Big Boss, do you need any backup?", Hanuman asked .

"Yes, I want you to do this in secret", Abhijeet conveyed his plan.

Hanuman burst into laughter and said, "Ho ho! I must thank you on behalf of our western soldiers as well as the people of my western region."

Abhijeet smiled, "Thank you, General."

"You are welcome, by the way, after the battle, I will be waiting for you," said Hanuman with a smile.

Abhijeet replied, "Of course, I will come."

They both laughed and then hung up the call.


"General, why are the Northern Forces here?", the captain asked.

"Tejas, the Southern Army will be dealing with the General of the North," said Hanuman, narrowing his eyes.

Tejas paused and looked at Hanuman in disbelief, "General, do you mean this Abhijeet Srivatsav is the General of the North?"

Hanuman smiled and nodded, "You got it now."

"No wonder," Tejas murmured and nodded repeatedly.

Hanuman said, "Mr. Srivastav told me that he doesn't need my assistance. However, remember we cannot let him do nothing. Order the Western Legends and prepare for the battle at any time. We will keep an eye on Mr. Srivastav. If any danger occurs, we will support him immediately."

"Yes, General. I will arrange everything right away," Tejas saluted and left.

"General Surya, it would be wise for you to keep everything under control or else... If anything happens to him, I don't care about you, not even if you are the President. Remember one thing, our God of War cannot be touched; this is our army's bottom line." said Hanuman as he looked at the sky and revealed his murderous aura.

This aura is no less than the kingly aura of those legendary kings of the nation.

Swoosh!

General of the West, Hanuman disappeared into the darkness.

No one knew where he had gone.


Badri and his 50,000 Invincible Kings sensed a great, terrifying aura near them.

But there was no threat.

When he looked into the distance, he was stunned.

"The Legendary North Army?" he muttered and all of his army stared at those 2,000 soldiers in shock.

"You must be the leader of the Invincible Kings," Arjun smiled.

"Y..Yes," said Badri, standing straight and replying in a nervous voice.

Arjun laughed, "There is no need to be nervous; after all, we are going to fight for our master. He said that only after defeating the Southern Army will you be able to move forward."

Badri nodded, "Mr. Demon King, exactly how many of them have arrived this time?"

"Not much, just 10,000 Southern Sky Knights," Arjun smiled and said.

Badri and his friends were stunned.

There are only 2,000 soldiers from the Northern Realm, while 10,000 legendary warriors from the Southern Army have arrived this time.

He knew the Northern Army was very strong, while the Southern Army was not weak at all.

Arjun smiled, "Don't worry, we will handle this matter. You just concentrate on the combined army of the capital families; we will handle the Southern Knights first and then we will destroy Tiger King's favorite mountain stars."

"Yes Sir," they all nodded in unison.

There is no sign of worry in their eyes.

This 2,000-strong army is the pride of the nation.

Arjun is Abhijeet's personal favorite.

His strength is unfathomable; therefore, there is no way he will be careless in this fight.

If he brought only this army, it would be quite extraordinary.

Badri and the other 50,000 kings once again hid themselves in the darkness, while Arjun and his army hid inside the mountain.

"General, we are ready," Arjun tapped his military watch.

"Good," Abhijeet replied.


It's already 11:30 p.m., midnight.

Abhijeet slowly stepped out and saw the Tiger King was nowhere in sight.

But the palace was heavily guarded by his army.

Abhijeet merely laughed.

This guy actually dares to show off his powers in front of me?

'Mr. Srivastav, the King of the two states,' the old man respectfully said.

"Who are you?" Abhijeet asked.

"Oh! I am the caretaker of the King," the old man said.

Abhijeet glanced at him and saw that he was truly showing his respect to him.

"Lead the way, old man," Abhijeet smiled and said.

The old man looked surprised and looked at his back.

"Oh! They will only appear if my life is in danger," Abhijeet said without trying to hide his secret at all.

"I understand, Mr. Srivastav,this way please" the old man said as he pointed the way.

Abhijeet nodded and was truly shocked to see such a glorious palace.

It is no less than a palace for the Narang family.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Along the way, more than 20,000 sword-wielding warriors exchanged swords with him.

The old man was stunned to see there was no fear in his eyes.

Actually, this is the plan.

The Tiger King wants to frighten Abhijeet with his sword troops.

The old man clearly saw disdain in Abhijeet's eyes.

"He is no ordinary," the old man thought as he looked away from the boy's eyes.

He saw those eyes.

Abhijeet's thunderous light blue eyes are deep and crystal clear.

There is no expression on their faces, but in fact, they are enough to frighten anyone.

Boundless like the galaxy, deep as the ocean.

The old man took a deep breath and entered the main hall.

Abhijeet saw an elderly man in his 50s or 60s sitting on a throne.

This is the King of the Western Territory, Tiger King.

The old man said, "Master, here he is... Mr. Srivastava."

The Tiger King waved his hand.

The old man bowed down and slowly left.

"Mr. Srivastav, what a great young blood", Tiger King laughed.

"Tiger King, good," Abhijeet smiled and directly sat down in front of him.

There are many delicious items on the table.

The Tiger King didn't seem to care about his manners at all.

At some point, he will die.

But first, he must take what is his.

The Tiger King gestured for him to start, saying, "Please."

Abhijeet took a bite and said, "Delicious."

The Tiger King really enjoyed his great life here.

The Tiger King smiled, "Glad to hear that."

The Tiger King suddenly laughed and asked, "Don't you fear I might have mixed poison into this food?"

Abhijeet's expression slightly changed but then returned to normal.

He laughed, "Dare you?"

The Tiger King narrowed his eyes and laughed at the end, "Of course I won't. After all, you are the husband of that Supreme Goddess of War."

Abhijeet laughed in response.

But Tiger King could see the pride on his face when he spoke of his wife.

The Tiger King smiled, "I have admired young geniuses like you. At such an early age, you have accomplished so much. Your A.R.M product is truly out of this world. I couldn't believe it took only two years for its market value to reach over 100 B Legendary Currency."

"Thanks to all the old people like you and your blessings", Abhijeet smiled.

The Tiger King glanced at him and frowned, "Damn you, Abhijeet! Dare to call me old."

Abhijeet smiled and said, "Today, I am here to destroy the combined army of those capital families. I hope the Western King will not create any obstacles for me."

The Tiger King was stunned and looked at Abhijeet in disbelief.

He had seen so many powerful young people.

Even Krishna Narang, the young genius of the nation, was not as arrogant and direct as him.

Abhijeet didn't hide anything and directly stated the truth in front of me.

Tiger King is a very cautious person, so he immediately started thinking about Abhijeet's backup plan.

The first thing that came to his mind was Purvi.

No, she said she wouldn't participate in the big battle, so if I didn't kill him today, then she wouldn't appear here.

Secondly, the Narang!

The Tiger King's expression changed, "The Narang?"

Since Abhijeet is so direct, he won't make you guess around.

Abhijeet laughed and shook his head, "I will crush them with my own might. The Narang is not here."

The Tiger King sighed in relief.

He feared them only.

If Madam Purvi and Mr. Narang are not here, there's no need for concern.

"It seems like you are very confident," The Tiger King smiled.

Abhijeet never looked at him and instead focused on his food.

The Tiger King frowned once again.

Why? Why is this guy so confident?

The Tiger King smiled and said, "I have heard rumors about Mr. Srivastav's involvement in the destruction of the Capital families and foreign empires."

Abhijeet laughed and then stopped.

His eyes are calm, like an ocean, and clear, like the sky.

The Tiger King has never seen anyone like this before.

This gave him a strange feeling in his heart.

Abhijeet asked, "What have you heard of my deeds?"

Tiger King laughed, "Ho ho, this young blood is so courageous. Good, Mr. Srivastav, I heard that the Warrior King Family..."

Abhijeet cuts in and says, "The Capital Warrior King Family was destroyed by my wife. The Warrior King Empire was annihilated by me, there are no secrets."

The Tiger King was stunned.

The expressions of dark shadows around him who were hiding in the darkness were looked at by Abhijeet with disbelief.

They initially wanted to suppress Abhijeet and make him admit to these facts.

But no one had ever expected him to speak the truth so casually.

"Do you know what you did was wrong?" Tiger King slightly narrowed his eyes.

The atmosphere subtly began to change.

But Abhijeet was still calm, "Mr. King, after all you are Late Warrior King's younger brother. So it's obvious for you to get angry at me."

BOOM!

It's like a thunder struck him and his dark shadows deep within his heart.

Did he know?

How could this be?

Only the government and the Sword family knew about this secret.

The Narang family doesn't even know about his true identity.

How on Earth did Abhijeet get hold of his secrets?

The dark shadows looked at Abhijeet in shock and surprise.

Their expressions were varied.

Who is this young man in reality? Why is he so confident?

"How did you know?" the Tiger King asked in disbelief.

"Ha ha, I think you underestimated me too much," said Abhijeet as he laughed and resumed eating his food.

The Tiger King took a deep breath and attempted to calm down.

This young man seemed to be covered in a fog.

So strong that I couldn't see through it at all.

"What do you want to do?", the Tiger King asked.

"As I said, today I am going to destroy their combined secret army. Tomorrow, I don't want to face the big attack from both sides, so I need to conquer them tonight," Abhijeet replied with a smile.

"Do you think I would give you the chance to do that?" the Tiger King laughed.

Abhijeet narrowed his eyes and sensed something was amiss.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Abhijeet as he stopped eating and finally leaned back in his chair.

"Abhijeet, I won't be polite with you; you killed my family and my empire. I want you to compensate me for the loss," Tiger King said.

"Compensation? Interesting, let's hear about that," Abhijeet laughed and nodded.

Tiger King said, "I want you to establish the branch of your A.R.M company in my area."

"Obviously, I had always intended to start the business here," Abhijeet smiled and said.

"Oh good. Then I want to be the partner in this branch, and we'll split it 90-10." The Tiger King smiled.

Abhijeet laughed heartily and said, "Why don't you keep all the business for yourself?"

"Tch... it will be very bad. People might think I'm a big bully," said the Tiger King, shaking his head.

"Anything else?", Abhijeet asked without any expression.

"I just learned that your company market share is more than 100 B. So I want 30 B as compensation for my loss and my people's lives", Tiger King said with a smile.

"Is that all you need?" Abhijeet asked.

"If you want to leave here, then you must obey my words," the Tiger King smiled menacingly.

Abhijeet snickered, "Huh.. do you really think you can suppress me with this tiny strength? Dream on, I won't give you a single penny at all."

"Oh really? Abhijeet, just look around... you have been surrounded by my warriors," The Tiger King laughed.

Abhijeet didn't look at his surroundings and said, "There are 5,000 Western Mountain Legendary Knights lurking inside the darkness, but they are nothing but ants in front of me."

The Tiger King narrowed his eyes.

The expression on their faces had changed slightly.

He knew the exact number of them.

"I don't repeat myself, Tiger King. Actually, there is no enmity between you and me. I don't want to destroy you today", Abhijeet said with ease.

"So bold," said Tiger King, before he could finish, one shadow moved, "Dare to bark in front of my king."

BANG!

Before he could say anything further, his body flew out and crashed into the wall.

PFFFFF...

The shadow vomited a huge amount of blood and looked at Abhijeet in horror.

Abhijeet looked at Tiger King only, "My words still stand. You are a good man. You have nothing to do with Warrior King Empire. Just do good things like you did in the past. I won't kill you."

The Tiger King leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes, "Abhijeet, how strong are you?"

"Beyond your imagination. I repeat myself, those 4,999 legendary knights are useless against me. So please, stop attacking me," Abhijeet said with a smirk.

The shadow warriors frowned.

This time, there was no disdain in their eyes.

This young man is truly frightening.

As formidable enemies, they looked at Abhijeet and then glanced at their King.

The Tiger King clenched his fist.

His current strength is on par with the legendary Prince, ShivaNarayan.

He is not afraid of anything or anyone in his life.

Even Surya Teja has to be polite with him since this is his territory.

But Abhijeet dared to be arrogant in front of him.

Wow, how audacious!

Abhijeet asked, "Tiger King, what is your answer?"

The tiger king was about to reply when suddenly a shadow appeared in front of Abhijeet and the tiger king.

Abhijeet Srivastav, today you have to die!

Abhijeet furrowed his brow.

He knew whom this young man was.

But still he asked, "Who are you?"

Suryateja ignored him as if he was nothing in front of him.

He turned to the Tiger King and said, "Western Lord, it's been a while since we last met."

The Tiger King didn't have the time to greet him back as his eyes were always fixed on Abhijeet.

That young man frowned and looked at Abhijeet, "My name is Suryateja, I am the Gener..."

"Tiger King, what is your answer?", Abhijeet completely ignored his words and asked Tiger King.

The Tiger King looked surprised for a moment.

Does Abhijeet really dare to ignore this Army General?

He himself has never dared to do anything like this.

Surya Teja fumed, "You... do you know who I am? General of the South!"

Abhijeet said, "Tiger King, I am waiting for your reply."

"Damn this bastard," Suryateja fumed, but he calmed himself and pulled the chair out from underneath the desk before sitting down.

Young man, I am the General of the South, you should have saluted me and greeted me with respect," said Suryateja.

Abhijeet was still looking at the Tiger King when he said, "In that case, you will have to stand up and salute me with respect."

The Tiger King was stunned.

Suryateja looked at him in disbelief.

The dark shadows looked at him in disbelief and shock.

The old man standing away blinked his eyes.

Suryateja burst into laughter and said, "Who do you think you are? Dare to ask for my respect? Do you want to die?"

"Dare to mobilize the army without consulting the General of the North? Do you want to die?" Abhijeet finally turned and looked at him with his eyes.

The Tiger King frowned.

Suryateja narrowed his eyes and asked, "What? What are you talking about?"

"Kid, your Southern Army has stepped into our nation without consulting the General of the North. Not even the Headquarters were informed about your sudden act. You even summoned 10,000 Southern Great Sky Knights here. What are you planning to do?", Abhijeet asked with a smile.

Suryateja was momentarily taken aback; "How did you know?"

He subconsciously glanced at Tiger King, but Tiger King had denied it.

Abhijeet laughed, "Like I said, you must be the one who should stand up and salute."

Suryateja frowned, "Do you really not know what kind of horrible existence you're facing, do you?"

Abhijeet laughed, "Young Master of the Sword family, don't joke with me. I am especially here to destroy you and your secret army."

BOOM!.

They were all stunned, especially Suryateja.

His real identity was a big secret.

Only the Tiger King knew about this.

There is no way Tiger King could have revealed this secret to Abhijeet but how on Earth did he know about it?

Did the government help him crack this secret?

Not possible.

He is the general of the Great Southern Army, and his identity is the top military secret.

So there was no way Abhijeet could access his details.

What's going on here?

The Tiger King was looking at Abhijeet blankly.

Abhijeet looked at his face and laughed, "Ha ha, I knew it. Okay, I'll show you my power."

Abhijeet immediately realized that the Tiger King was thinking of him.

He really wants to test Abhijeet here.

Abhijeet is too mysterious.

But before the military, all these mysteries are nothing.

First, he decided to check Abhijeet's strength.

Suryateja furrowed her brow.

He looked at the Tiger King and asked, "Is this really what you want?"

"I am helpless, I don't want to offend either one of you. Actually there is no enmity with Abhijeet. Why should I risk myself just to confront him?", Tiger said smiling.

"Damn it, Mr. King! He's the one who destroyed your entire empire," Suryateja shouted.

"I said I am not from that Empire," Tiger King slowly said.

He really hated them because they treated him like an insect.

If not for Pradyuman, he might have died by now.

Pradyuman had forgotten everything about his own identity and helped him rise as the Western Territory's new king.

This was a top-secret, but Abhijeet actually knew about it; he gave so many chances to this king, after all, this king was his father's student once upon a time.

Suryateja laughed, "Leave it, I just want to deal with him that's all. Since you don't want to participate in this battle, this business will be 60-40."

The Tiger King nodded, "That's obvious."

Abhijeet laughed, "Do you really think you can kill me here and take my property?"

"Do you really think I am afraid of your wife?" asked Suryateja laughing.

BOOOMMMMM!

As soon as he finished his sentence, mysterious thunder struck from a distance and destroyed the table.

Mysterious eyes appeared in the sky.

The Tiger King's expression changed and he stood up in shock, exclaiming, "Goddess Purvi!"

Surya Teja was stunned.

Abhijeet laughed, "Southern General, did you say something about my wife?"

Suryateja frowned and said, "I'm sorry."

Two mysterious eyes slowly faded away before whispering, "There is no second chance."

Suryateja glared at Abhijeet and said, "Don't you have any shame? Relying on your wife for everything?"

Abhijeet laughed, "You are the one who summoned her just now."

"Abhijeet, look... You are a very promising young man. I don't want to kill you because your death is already coming. Tomorrow is your last day. Don't force me to kill you. Just hand over those documents and go away," Suryateja said with a smile.

Abhijeet smiled and remained silent.

The Tiger King was looking at him and trying to read his expression.

There was no sign of fear on his face.

It is very evident that he doesn't have Suryateja in his eyes.

"No," Abhijeet finally said.

"Presumptuous! Don't force me today." Narrowing his eyes, Suryateja spoke.

The sky quaked again.

"Don't worry, even if you try to kill me, she won't interfere in this battle," Abhijeet laughed.

BOOM!

The thunder actually struck near Abhijeet.

It is evident that Purvi is not happy with this decision, but in the end, it was cleared up.

Suryateja laughed, "Abhijeet, it's your only backup. Don't be foolish."

Abhijeet smiled and said. "I am here today because I am going to destroy the secret armies. Since there is nothing to discuss, I will be leaving now."

Abhijeet stood up.

"Did I allow you to go?", Suryateja coldly asked and his murderous aura spread out.

Abhijeet stopped in his tracks but didn't even turn around.

In a calm voice, he said, "Last chance."

Suryateja smiled, "That's my line. Since you are here, stay here forever.".

Surya Teja pressed the phone button.

The Tiger King frowned and looked at the old man.

The old man immediately ordered his army to remain on high alert.

The Tiger King doesn't believe in this general from the south.

Abhijeet raised his head and looked at the mountain of troops in front of him.

Abhijeet asked, "Who are they?"

Suryateja laughed, "This is my Southern Sky Knights - the most powerful army in the nation."

Abhijeet ignored his boastful words, "The Indian Army, whether it is Northern, Western, Eastern or Southern troops, they are not allowed to step inside the nation. This is the order from the Northern General. I hope you won't cross the limits, General Surya."

Suryateja's eyes narrowed as he heard the last word, "General Surya."

"Huh! The Southern Army is under my command and not under any northern or eastern general," Suryateja roared.

Abhijeet glanced at them.

There are more than 10,000 Sky Knights.

Even the heavenly commanders of these troops have arrived as well.

A sudden fury burst forth from Abhijeet's heart, "This is your last chance; I don't want to kill my own people."

"Huh... your people? Who do you think you are?" Suryateja shouted and glanced at his more than 200 Heavenly Kings and 25 Heavenly Commanders, "Kill him."

Abhijeet sighed and looked at Suryateja before returning to his chair.

He touched his watch and said, "Come on out."

Suryateja was surprised, "Who are you calling out? Ha ha, do you think there's any army greater than my Southern Great Army?"

The Tiger King saw the confidence in Abhijeet's face.

Where did he get his confidence?

Update: Today
