"Who Rules the World:The Mortal Universe"
Chapter 28:The Past
The Sword family were furious after hearing about the destruction of their King Pirate Army.
This was their strongest army, but the Srivatsav family's invincible hands destroyed it completely.
"Ancestors, we must kill that bastard," Raktagandh, who was still healing his wounds, shouted.
"Yes, but don't you remember who is behind that Abhijeet?", Ancestor sighed.
"But Ancestor, there is only one day left for the final battle. Abhijeet is none other than the God of War, so we can't delay any further. Our two strongest armies have been destroyed," said Raktagandh in frustration.
The Narang is standing behind Abhijeet like a mountain; as long as they are around, no one can touch him and moreover, he himself is an exceptional warrior who single-handedly destroyed the Beast Mountain with his wife.
The entire Sword Family suddenly glowed with green light.
"The Lord", Ancestor , Raktagandh stood up.
Green Vajra appeared with a smile and said, "For every problem, there is a solution. You said that the Narang is behind Abhijeet, isn't this your concern?"
Both of them nodded.
The Ancestor said, "Lord, the Narang are like the sky. We can't defeat them no matter what. You are well aware of this fact."
Green Vajra smiled, "Yes, I agree with you. The Narang is undefeated in this nation but not outside the nation."
Both of them were stunned, "What do you mean, my lord? No one has the courage to fight against the Divine Beasts."
Green Vajra smiled and said, "There are some people who are not afraid of anyone, not even the Absolute Beasts."
"Who?" Raktagandh asked.
Green Vajra smiled, "The Greatest Evil Empire in the Universe, the Suyansh Empire. The Great Evil God of War has accomplished his dreams. He not only mastered the Time Suppression Technique, but he also acquired the other three Art of Battle."
The Ancestors and Raktagandha were stunned, "Three Battle Tactics? Wow, that's great."
Green Vajra nodded with a smile, "They are going to do something terrible. They have planned to kidnap Princess Anu"
Raktagandh and the Ancestors were stunned for real.
The Narang has taken an oath to protect Princess Anu at any cost; even if it means killing anyone who tries to harm her.
"Lord, will this plan works? I don't overestimate the Evil Empire but the Narang are really the greatest",Raktagandh said.
Green Vajra nodded, "Don't worry, the Evil Empire will definitely destroy the Narang this time. But in this little time, we have to execute our greatest plan. Gather the heads of the Seven families and plan everything to attack Abhijeet Srivastav. We must kill him at any cost."
Raktagandh and the Ancestors nodded.
The Ancestor waved his hand, and several of his shadow clones appeared in front of him.
The Ancestor said with a smile, "Inform the seven other Great Families... oh, only six families for a meeting. We have to execute our plan tonight."
All of them nodded and then disappeared.
Raktagandh clenched his fists, "It's time to destroy you Abhijeet Srivastav, tomorrow we are going to kill the gods."
The Narang Family:
Abhijeet and Purvi were sitting near the lake inside the Narang territory.
Purvi was running her fingers through his hair as he laid down on her lap with a comfortable smile on his face, "You are really precious to me, wifey."
Purvi smiled and said, "Why?"
"After my family was destroyed, you did everything to save my life and reputation," said Abhijeet as he kissed her hand.
"Shh, don't remember your past; I don't want to see you in pain," Purvi said.
"No, Purvi," Abhijeet said, "my past is filled with pain and joy."
Purvi said, "If you don't feel bad, then you can share your past with me. But remember, only if you feel comfortable."
Abhijeet smiled, "Ha wifey, don't worry. Let's watch the story of my kingdom."
"Okay," Purvi nodded with a smile.
Abhivi watched the past of the glorious Srivatsav family.
FLASHBACK:
Pradyuman Srivatsav and Siddharth Srivastav lost their parents when they were young and were raised by the family's weapons, the Divine Trident and other elders.
Siddharth Srivastav was an exceptional fighter, but he lacked concentration, which prevented him from fully harnessing the power of the Divine Trident.
But Pradyuman Srivastava was totally different.
He was not only strong but also a complete warrior.
There are no loopholes in his behavior, fighting, or anything else.
The Divine Trident was totally impressed by him and blessed him with the complete Divine Fist Technique.
Siddharth Srivastav always doted on his brother and fully supported his younger brother as the heir of the Srivastav family.
The entire Srivatsav Kingdom was excited at that time.
The entire nation was also happy.
The other Nine Great Families attended the function happily.
All congratulated Pradyuman for successfully ascending the throne of the Srivastav family.
The Head of the Narang family, Shiva Narang attended the function along with his daughter who was wearing a mask.
Other families were also surprised by her, but no one dared to look at her because they were always afraid of the Absolute Beast.
But no one knew anything about her; in the end, they gave up trying to find her and went out.
Pradyuman Srivastav was lost in her charm..
She was extremely beautiful.
She has a very strong and divine aura around her.
Pradyuman's heart pounded wildly as it was drawn toward that girl.
But as the new head of the Srivatsava family, he had to maintain his dignity and didn't speak about her until the end.
Shiva Narang gifted him with a thousand-year-old divine sword.
"Mr Narang, I can't receive this. Because the Legendary Sword is the treasure of the Narang family. I have just become the head of the Srivastav Family and I have no status in front of you"
Shiva Narang laughed, "Mr Srivastav, I know you are the new head of the Srivastav family; that's why I came up with this gift."
Pradyuman shook his head and said, "Mr. Narang, let's do one thing; when I become equal to your status, I will accept this gift as my honor. Is this okay?"
Shiva Narang was shocked a little; the girl's eyes widened.
Shiva Narang glanced at Pradyuman Srivastav and laughed, "Indeed, the new head of the Srivastav Family is totally different from others. Good, very good. I will be waiting for you, Mr Srivastav; if nothing else, I will take my leave."
Pradyuman Srivastav immediately stood up, "It's my honor to meet the Head of the Great Narang Kingdom, but Mr Narang... this young lady."
Shiva Narang smiled and said, "Mr Srivastav, when the time comes, you will get to know about this girl. But one thing is for sure, she is very precious for me."
Pradyuman smiled and greeted her, "Hello!"
"Hello," she also greeted him back.
What a cute and divine voice you have!
Shiva Narang glanced at both of them and laughed, "Let's go now."
Pradyuman Srivastav quickly came out of the trance and led the way.
"I hope we will meet sooner or later," said Shiva Narang as he smiled and patted Pradyuman's shoulder.
Prdyuman said seriously, "Yes Mr Narang, I will never disappoint you."
Shiva Narang nodded and disappeared along with the girl.
Prayuman's eyes followed her till she disappeared completely, "Who is she anyway?"
Pradyuman returned to his room and began planning for the future development of his kingdom.
The Srivastava family is currently the tenth Great Family of the Capital.
He determined to raise his family to the top.
Number one in the nation.
On the other hand, that girl in the mask slowly removed her mask and said, "Father, this new head of the family seems to be different from others."
Shiva Narang didn't turn towards her but asked with a smile, "Explain".
She said, "Father, he is actually very down-to-earth. You can't see many warriors like him in this entire capital. Being the head of the Srivastav family, he doesn't need to be so polite towards you. But he actually treated you as his own elder and spoke to you standing on the ground, unlike those who sit in their thrones with full of arrogance."
"He refused to receive your gift because he believes he is not on par with our kingdom. In terms of strength and wealth, the Srivastav family is not much inferior to the other great families;this is my opinion", she said.
Shiva Narang laughed, "You are right, the Srivastav family is one of the strongest kingdoms in the capital. Even the other eight great families are no match for them, but just like us, they are also very low-key."
That girl nodded. "Yeah... do you still remember what he said? He wants to prove himself; I've never seen anyone else from the capital say anything like that."
Shiva Narang nodded, "You are right. He is very strong but in nature he is exceptionally good. But, daughter, when did you come to know all these things? I think during this entire function, you had your eyes only on him." He smiled and finally turned towards her.
"Yes father... No no father, don't get me wrong. I just observed one or two things about him, that's all", That girl looked away with blush on her face.
"Oh...now my daughter is blushing too...hmmm good," Shiva Narang laughed as her daughter ran away from the place.
Shiva Narang smiled as he looked at his daughter.
Pradyuman Srivatsav and Siddharth Srivastav are discussing the business of their kingdom.
Pradyuman and Siddharth always discussed their deeds together.
Brother, what do you think about God's Art of War?", Pradyuman asked.
"Master", Siddart smiled.
"Please, brother, regardless of who I am now, I will always be your younger brother; in front of others and in private, please address me by my name – it's my request", Pradyuman said.
Siddharth smiled and nodded, "Okay Pradyu, I will call you by this number only. The God's Art of War is too good. It is one of the leading weapon companies in the capital. No one knows about their origin, but I think they are perfect for us. We need several medicines, weapons, war manuals - everything for our cause."
Pradyuman nodded, "I will go personally to them and ask for their cooperation."
"All the best brother, but remember don't feel bad if they didn't agree to co-operate with you," Siddharth said.
"I know, if they really agree to my request then we will be very lucky but... let's hope for the best," Pradyuman smiled.
Don't worry, Pradyu; you will succeed only, I have full confidence in my brother," Siddharth assured him with a smile.
Pradyuman nodded and started towards the God's Art of War .
"Where is the company located?" he searched through the divine web.
It is located within the Narang territory.
Pradyuman was little surprised by this result, "It is actually in the Narang Kingdom? That's surprising."
After two hours, he reached the God's Art of War Company.
He was left shocked after witnessing such a beautiful company in front of him.
It covered approximately 2 or 3 kilometers.
Thousands of workers are employed by the company.
Pradyuman saw more than hundred youth practicing the art of war.
There are several divine energy fluctuations surrounding him.
He mumbled, "So this is the God's Art of War?" as he walked in.
The security guard stopped him and asked, "Sir, may I know who this gentleman is?"
Pradyuman replied politely, "I am from the Srivastav family and I am here to seek co-operation with your company."
The security guard said, "Wait Sir, I will convey your message inside, please sit inside."
He guided him toward the guest hall.
Pradyuman thanked him and sat down, looking around in astonishment.
He was only 23 years old and had never seen such luxury in his entire life.
The security guard conveyed the message to the receptionist.
She nodded, "Okay, I will convey the message to the boss's PA."
She quickly called PA and conveyed the message.
PA nodded and went inside the cabin.
Two people were sitting in the main chair.
One is Shiva Narang, the head and chairman of The God's Art of War .
Another one is his daughter who was wearing the mask earlier.
They discussed something important with the staff.
The PA waited for half an hour.
After the meeting, she conveyed the message, "Sir, Madam, there's someone from the Srivastav family here. They sent him to seek co-operation."
Shiva Narang asked, "What is the schedule for today?"
PA looked at the book and said, "Sir, today's schedule is very tight. In five minutes, you have another meeting with higher officials from the government to discuss national defense."
The girl nodded and said, "Tell that person politely that we are busy with the government officials right now, so we cannot meet him today. We will discuss with him later; we will call the Srivatsav family once we are free, is it okay father?"
Shiva Narang nodded, "It will be good, the Srivastav family is also one of the dignified families of the capital. So we can't ignore them just like that. Once we are free, I will personally call the head of the Srivastav family."
Shiva Narang purposely mentioned the head of the Srivastav family.
His daughter has never disappointed him.
He could see the sparkle in her eyes as soon as he mentioned it.
Shiva Narang smiled and said, "Raksha, you can pass on my message to that person."
PA Raksha nodded and went out.
She was about to step into the Guest Hall when suddenly security rushed toward her, "Mam, government officials are here."
"Oh, let's go," she forgot why she was there and rushed out.
Pradyuman was waiting inside the guest hall.
After two long hours, PA rushed in with an apologetic face, "Sir, I am really sorry . I was supposed to pass the message to you more than an hour ago, but due to the VIP guest's arrival, I couldn't do so."
Pradyuman stood up with a smile, "It's okay, I didn't wait for long. Just two hours, that's all." He said as he looked at his watch. "May I ask what's the message from your boss?"
PA sighed, "Sir, our bosses are very busy with government officials, as you know they are here to discuss national defense. They won't entertain you today."
Pradyuman smiled, "Okay, no problem. I will come back tomorrow."
PA was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang, "Boss, okay boss."
She hurried upstairs.
Pradyuman smiled and returned to the Srivastav Kingdom.
Siddharth was waiting for him, "Pradyu, what happened?"
Pradyuman laughed, "A flop."
"Oh, don't worry, we will get chances in the future," Sidharth smiled.
No, brother. The bosses are busy meeting with the government officials. So I couldn't meet them at all," Pradyuman said with a smile.
"Oh, that's how it is," said Siddart. "So, what are you planning to do?"
Pradyuman smiled and said, "I will visit them tomorrow."
'Brother, let's go; it's lunchtime,' said Siddharth as he walked into the house with his younger brother.
The next day, Pradyuman once again went to the God's Art of War.
Yesterday, he received the PA number from the receptionist.
He called her.
No one answered it.
After half an hour had passed, he called again; still no one answered.
Pradyuman thought she would be busy with something so he went up to the receptionist, "Miss, can I get a manual that explains about your company?"
The receptionist smiled, "Sure sir, this book explains about our work and achievements; please take this."
Pradyuman thanked her and took the book; he went back to the guest hall and started reading it.
He was stunned by the details of the company.
God's Art of War is deeply involved in the government.
More than 70% of their defensive and offensive equipment comes from them.
The medical expenses and food are provided by this company only.
They are also providing healing medicine throughout the nation.
They have thousands of attack and defense punching techniques.
Anyone can cooperate with them and can seek these manuals.
Pradyuman was left shocked, "They are really the one and only Absolute Beasts," he smiled at the end.
He looked at his watch and saw it was already 12 PM.
He waited for three hours.
He thought, "I will call her once again; I hope she's available now." And he called her once again.
Poor Raksha was busy running around providing various documents to government officials here and there.
After a long time, there was a small break.
The meeting will continue after a ten-minute short break, so she finally got ten minutes of time.
She sighed in relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Shiva Narang glanced at her and smiled, "Raksha, take it easy; you don't know who that person is."
"Oh, yes, Sir," she quickly answered the call.
Yes, Raksha from the God's Art of War," she said.
Pradyuman who was on the other end sounded a little excited, "Oh Ms.Raksha, Thank God finally you answered my call. You know I have been waiting for you since the last three hours."
"Sorry, may I ask who this is?" Raksha politely asked.
"Oh how foolish I am! Miss, I am the same person who visited your company yesterday. I am from the Srivastav family," said Pradyuman, smiling.
Raksha was shocked and said, "Oh Sir, I am really really sorry. I forgot to convey the message to you."
Pradyuman nodded, "No problem, you can tell me now, Miss."
Raksha slowly said, "Yesterday, my boss said he would personally call your king when he gets time. You know, we only get ten minutes of time now. The meeting will end only after four days. I hope you won't take it to heart. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
"No, no, no. Miss... You are very polite. I didn't mind at all. In fact, we are here to start our business, so we can wait for long. We just want to establish our empire and grow like you. So I hope your boss will contact our kingdom soon," Pradyuman smiled.
"Be assured, Sir; our boss never breaks his promises," Raksha smiled.
Thank you, and I will be waiting for your call," Pradyuman smiled and nodded.
After four days, the meeting finally ended.
But Shiva Narang and his daughter were exhausted.
He and his daughter went back to their rooms to take some rest respectively.
"Brother, they didn't call me back; I am a little worried," Pradyuman sighed.
"Don't give up Pradyu, lets do one thing. I will go there today and will request for the meeting okay?", Siddart said.
"No, brother. We are going to start the business with them; it will not look good if other people go there. So, I will go there personally again", said Pradyuman.
Pradyuman had visited them again.
It's already 5 o'clock in the evening.
When he visited her once again, the result was negative.
Raksha sighed and said, "Sir, in fact..."
Pradyuman smiled, "I think it's not the right time yet, may I ask for one little favor?"
Raksha nodded.
"I am very interested in watching the martial arts practices. I saw some young people practicing some divine fist techniques. According to the company policy, anyone can watch their practice, isn't it correct?", Pradyuman asked with a smile.
Raksha was slightly shocked.
She thought, "He looks like a decent person and handsome too. But I can sense no special aura from him like my boss has."
Pradyuman said, "Miss Raksha"
Raksha snapped out of her thoughts, "Sir, let me tell you the truth. The bosses are very tired and they are sleeping now. So I don't feel like..."
Pradyuman laughed, "It's very nice to hear something like this. I have seen and visited many companies, but no one is like you who really cares about your boss. Many of them just work for money and fame."
Raksha smiled and said, "How can that be sir? This company has provided me with food, money, fame, and responsibility. My bosses are very nice to us; anyone would think well of them. But sir, I am telling the truth only. They are taking some rest, so I don't feel it would be right to disturb them."
Pradyuman smiled and nodded, "No problem, when they wake up, please pass my message. I will be waiting here only. I am very interested in these different divine fist techniques."
Raskha nodded, "Okay sir, you aren't angry at me right?"
Pradyuman smiled, "How can that be Miss? You are very polite always. I have never seen anyone better than you as a PA. It's okay. I really need your company's help, so I can only wait for them. Just request them that I want to meet them tomorrow; it's okay to take some good rest after the hectic schedule."
Raksha smiled and asked the receptionist to provide some snacks and tea for them.
Pradyumna had tasted the food from the God's Art of War and realized the difference between it and his own kingdom.
They are all very good for your health and rich in nutrients.
"They were perfect in every way; even if I had to wait for years, it would be worth it", He mumbled this and slowly drifted off to sleep, as he felt bored today.
After two hours, Shiva Narang woke up first.
He called Raksha to prepare some tea.
This time, Raksha didn't forget about Pradyuman so quickly and passed on the message.
"Sir, someone from the Srivastava family has visited us again."
Shiva Narang was shocked, "Oh, it's my fault. I really promised them to call once the meeting is over. Where is he?"
Raksha said, "He said he will wait for you tomorrow and also said he is not interested in disturbing you, but he has one request."
Shiva Narang was surprised to hear this.
He has already seen many young people like himself.
Many of them refused to wait due to their arrogance and pride.
But the Srivastav family seems to be quite different from the others.
Moreover, Shiva Narang did not know that it was Pradyuman who had come in person.
Raksha, she is an ordinary girl; hence, she doesn't know about Pradyuman.
She only saw him as the servant of the Srivastav family.
Shiva Narang nodded. "What did he say?"
Raksha said, "Sir, he requested you that he wants to be with the young people who are practicing some fighting techniques outside."
Shiva Narang raised his eyebrows and said, "He seems like a warrior. Okay, tell him that I am okay with it. Pass the entrance card to him for today." Shiva continued, "He already said he would be okay with it, so we will meet him tomorrow in the evening. Tomorrow, we will complete all our meetings before evening. No more evening meetings, okay?"
Raksha quickly noted his words and nodded, "Yes, boss."
"An interesting guy, who will it be?" asked Shiva Narang.
"What happened today?" his daughter stepped out of her room and entered his room with a cup of coffee.
"Nothing, that guy from the Srivastav family is very interesting. He said he won't disturb us from getting some rest and he is very keen to learn the divine fist techniques of the world," Shiva Narang smiled.
His daughter smiled, "Oh, looks like the Srivastav family is different from others."
Shiva Narang raised his eyebrows.
"I... I need some water," she said, smiling and then running away.
"This little kid," said Shiva Narang, laughing.
Raksha handed the entrance card to Pradyuman and said, "Sir, please take this card with you and you can enter inside."
Thank you so much, Ms. Raksha," Pradyuman smiled.
Actually Sir, I am married, so you can call me Mrs. Raksha Prasad," she smiled.
"Oh no, it's my mistake, I apologize, Mrs. Raksha Prasad," said Pradyuman, smiling.
He then went toward the training academy.
He showed the entrance ticket.
They allowed him to go inside; he said, "Young man, first you have to meet the elder masters in order to join the practice team."
Pradyuman nodded, "Can you please show me the way?"
They nodded and pointed him in the right direction.
Pradyuman entered the room and saw that ten elderly people were seated in their chairs.
They were drinking tea that night.
It's almost 8 o'clock.
Elder Masters, may I?", Pradyuman asked with politeness and a gentle smile on his face.
"Yes, come in", one of them said.
"I have seen the Master Elders," Pradyuman smiled and slightly bowed down.
As the head of the Srivastav family, he was not allowed to bend his head; he slightly bent his head in respect and greeted them politely.
All of them very slowly raised their heads and nodded.
One of them asked, "Who are you, young man?"
Pradyuman smiled and said, "Master, truth to be told, I am here on a business trip. However, the boss is too exhausted due to his continuous and tight schedule. I was informed that he will be available only after tomorrow evening. I saw several young fighters practicing their divine fighting skills, and I couldn't help but rush to this place."
Another elder smiled, "You are a fighter too?"
Actually, they had already sensed the fighting aura from his body, but they felt nothing special because Pradyuman had already suppressed his aura to the mediocre level.
Pradyuman smiled and said, "Yes master, I have learned some basic techniques."
Another elder said, "There are several categories in this arena. You will need to demonstrate your skills before being able to practice here with them. Are you okay with that?"
Pradyuman nodded with a gentle smile, "Yes master, I am okay with it."
One of the elders looked at his student, "Lead him towards the arena and start the match with the first level of fighters."
"Young man, this way please," the student said with a smile.
Pradyuman greeted the elders again and went behind the student.
As soon as Pradyuman went outside, all the ten elders frowned.
One of them said, "He is no ordinary fighter. He suppresses his aura to the mediocre level."
Let's find out the truth, let's go," another elder said.
"What an interesting guy," they all smiled and disappeared.
All the students from all sixteen categories were surprised to see all the ten elders together.
It has never happened before.
There have been countless warriors who have learned many skills here, but the elders have never appeared until now.
Who is this young man, anyway?
They could see his gentle appearance and felt nothing special about it.
Above the seventh category level, the warriors frowned a little.
They are very experienced and skilled, so they easily detected the hidden strength within Pradyuman's body.
"Ha ha, I think this practice showdown will be fun," one of them smiled.
They all smiled and nodded.
