章 44: Reality Check

Rudra looked menacingly towards the elder who dared to speak, as he asked in a grim tone " Oh, and what if I refuse? ". 

The elder gulped nervously, as he stuttered to reply. 

" O-our patriarch will kill you, he will flail your skin alive! Yes! He will ki- ". 

Nobody saw Rudra move a muscle, but the head of the elder who was speaking was severed from his body, rolling onto the floor with blood and brain tissues spilling everywhere.

The scene terrified everyone present in the room, however, for Max a new problem presented itself as the fresh scent of blood wasped into his nostrils. 

Max bared his fangs and hissed, as his body urged him to have a taste of that spilled blood.

Max did not wish to act like a beast in front of his brother, but soon his primal instincts took over and he was unable to suppress it any longer, dining fiendishly on the blood of the dead elder.
