Chapter 997 Realising one’s shortcomings
Kremeth felt his heartbeat quicken, he had never been exposed to the reality of the world like this ever before and the shock was too much for him to take.
Back at the castle, his mother always told him that his focus should be on becoming a good hearted person because murder and violence brought nothing but more murder and violence upon oneself.
However, only today as he sat in a room full of conspirators and heard them plot to overthrow the Rajput’s did he realise that the only way to stop violence was to become so strong that no-one could dare attack them again.
The red umbrella group was quiet today not because they accepted Max as the supreme lord or because they were good natured people at heart.
The red umbrella group was quiet today and meeting in shady underground halls like rats because they were afraid of challenging Max Rajput.
Everyone had only ever told Kremeth that he was the apple of their eye, that he was supremely talented as a fighter and he would grow up to be a fine king someday, however, it was only today that he realised that outside the palace, there was no one who took him or his reputation seriously.
He had no real achievements under his belt, he had not proved himself to be a formidable fighter and hence he was perceived as weak and incompetent, a big difference from how he was perceived by his mother.

” Lord Felix, about the Aurelius clan’s development, the new technology that the vampire king is rolling out is benefitting the other clans greatly.
We can get exclusive rights over one of the blueprints that he’s giving and use it to enrich our territories.
Although it’s help from the enemy, It will go a long way to alleviating the instant economic pressure” One of the red umbrella group executives spoke as it was only at this moment that Kremeth realised that the red umbrella group held a stake within the Aurelius clan as well.
” I’m aware about the aid that the Bloodfall is providing and I’m seeing how it’s winning over the lord’s who were on the edge before but are now bought by the money.
However, I don’t plan to inculcate that system to the Aurelius masses because then they will feel like they owe a debt of gratitude to the current King.
The Aurelius clan commoners are good people who live honest lives.
If they are provided employment by the king, they will forever be indebted to him.
We can’t let it happen….. I agree that the economic reforms that Max had implemented will boost the vampire economy greatly.
Not only will the quality of life improve for billions, but the quality of our army and our border security will improve too. However, we can’t sell out yet.
Let’s figure out other avenues of growth not reliant on the King as I don’t want him to be the factor behind our success” Felix said as although his words were harsh, they were not met with criticism from the masses. 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Everyone who was sitting within the room understood his convictions and respected his decisions. .
Although the age-gap between Kremeth and Felix was only ten years, Kremeth could notice clearly as to how Felix was a respected leader while he was nothing.
Felix had lost his greatest backing in the form of his king father, he had lost Ixtal and most of his family treasures, but despite all those losses he still had his head held high and his internal affairs in order as he was striving to be his own man.
Compared to him, Kremeth lacked depth in personality and ambition as this meeting had helped him realise his faults.
The meeting went on for two more hours and a variety of topics were discussed.
Kremeth who listened to the challenges of the lower class learned a lot from this experience and luckily he was able to walk back out of the meeting on his own two legs and without raising any suspicion.
He had a lost expression on his face as he made his way back to the tavern where his father was staying, as he contemplated his life decisions.
This day had given him a lot to think about, and Kremeth was not sure about how exactly he felt about it.

( Meanwhile Max )
Aside from keeping an eye out for Kremeth, Max spent majority of his time within the ultimate levelling pagoda as he understood that the road to becoming a peak tier8 warrior was long.
Without a treasure like the ultimate levelling pagoda it would take him several hundred years to gather the necessary exp, however, because he had that treasure the time could be cut down to just a few years.
After his conversation with Rudra, Max had already instructed the queen to research about mana vein strengthening rituals and elixirs as his first goal was to make his body even more robust than it already was.
In these past 7 days, the queen concocted for him two elixirs, the value of which exceeded the net worth of the entire Bloodfall clan, as the ingredients used to brew it were simply one in the entire universe.
Since Max did not have a physical body, the process of consuming them was even more complicated as Max had to first deactivate his passive energy body form and then consume the elixirs in a physical body while trying to absorb all its effects.
Naturally, the effects of the elixir were good as Max felt both his divine essence storage capacity and his mana capacity increase several fold, however, it wasn’t anything too exaggerated either as the overall improvement was only about 2-5% for each potion.
Compared to the 1000% improvement that he was striving to achieve, this much progress was negligible, however, it was easy and required very little input from Max himself which made him happy.
According to Rudra, the only way for Max to enrich his body to necessary levels would be by mastering the seeds of creation and destruction, which was exactly what Max planned to do next once his trip with Kremeth drew to a close.
