Chapter 391: Setting the plan in motion

Rudra set his plan in motion , procuring serpent's Dale , a poison specially created to be tasteless and odorless , was bought in bulk from Purplehaze city under millitary quota . 

The scouts were already sent to enquire about the merchant responsible for getting supplies to the fort. 

It was apparently a NPC corporation called Nineclouds Trade company who was responsible for military contracts , which was a small company based in the capital city of Nineclouds kingdom. 

The rations were protected using military personnel , and private hired mercenaries. Hence if Rudra wanted to pull of poisoning the food , he needed to replace an entire guard division with his fake soldiers. 

The security of the food itself was not the problem , however the process of poisoning it was complicated. Things like injections were not invented yet in this world , hence Rudra had to place a bulk order of injections to fatty kalash in urgent priority. 

Fatty kalash cursed Rudra for this , he was an elder of the guild only in name , overall his Life was worse than most normal members , as he did not have a single day off from tiring work. 

Everytime that the workload even remotely decreased Rudra would come up with something to tie him up for months. 

It was good that there was a subdivision of powers created with head of departments in the guild , as Kalash had absolutely no time to look after the shop these days. 

However orders were orders , kalash needed to do whatever Rudra wanted to do. Hence even if he was groaning and complaining , he already started to divulge manpower for this sudden request. 

Since plastic was not invented in the game yet , all equipment was to be made of steel. Hence the furnances were blasted at full power , as every few minutes an injection was produced. 

With the supply of the injections sorted out , now the only thing left for Rudra to do was to stop the incoming supply chain in some remote location ,and kill all the existing members of the group . 

For this Rudra had a plan in mind. He wanted to pose as a Nineclouds captain and stop the caravan on its path under the guise of routine inspection. Then make the group leader eat a fruit he poisoned , under the guise of checking the food for poisoning. 

When the carvan leader died from posioning Rudra would bring in his Hazelgroove soldiers now dressed as Nineclouds soldiers to take charge of the caravan. 

The Ninecloud soldiers already protecting the caravan would also join them , blaming the merchant organization , yet they would be backstabbed and killed. 

Only then would Rudra slowly extract all relevant information from the merchant group , about how to trade what to say , what the drill was , before killing them. 

Rudra's way of taking the fort down was a cowards way out. But it was the smartest way out. He did not want those under him to die a pointless death . 

He was not bound by honor and the like , and did not care about how the history books would remember his victory. He knew that his soldiers around him would thank him for it , and that was all that mattered to him. 

Hence Rudra got the wheels running , the ploy to intercept the caravan was made , and the scouts were monitoring it. 

From the conquest on Mercury village , Rudra already had access to the Nineclouds army gear , and hence the deception of being a captain was also ready. Now all he needed to do was to wait for his time to act .

( Meanwhile in China ) 

Jhonny was on the cieling of the building where a triad boss had supposedly entered , with his ears to the ground , as he tried to listen on what was going down there. 

He could hear loud moaning sounds of a man which sounded more like a bear groaning , hence his previous conjecture that the vist was most likely for private reasons was probably correct. 

What baffled Jhonny was the fact that why did a triad boss need to visit a facility for private reasons, he could just invite them to his personal loging. 

This misconception was caused due to the fact that Jhonny did not know that the triad boss was actually married and these little escapades of his were carried outside to keep his wife in the dark. 

Men were such creatures. Wether they were a salaryman or a triad chief , men were afriad of being caught cheating by their wives. But fickle in nature to do it anyway. 

The room was well built , and the concrete was atleast 6 inches thick. Meaning that entering from the roof was not possible. Since there was no windows in the room , direct access seemed to be difficult. 

Jhonny activated his IR glasses , to see a heatmap of the place. He saw that just outside the room there were 7 men gaurding a narrow corridor. With a small window at the edge of the corridor. 

To most people this would seem like a hopeless situation. But for Jhonny it was as easy as a walk in the park , as for him it was just seven daggers thrown at once. 

Fastening a harness to the AC shaft on the roof , Jhonny rappled his way near the window , before dropping a small vial of strong corrosive acid on the window , to create hole in the glass without making much noise. 

Just as the small hole was made , the nearest guard looked over in confusion due to the sizzling noises , only for brain to be pierced through his eye by an approaching dagger.

Simmilar occurences happened to all six other guards as within seconds they were found dead on the ground. 

Jhonny casually entered the corridor after stretching his hand inside the hole to open the window without making a sound. As he made sure to sidestep the pool of blood on the ground as to not get his shoes dirty. 

Inhumaly calm in the face of such adversity , Jhonny English was the epitome of coolness for a middle aged man. 

Jhonny tapped on the door of the triad boss , as he played an audio on his mobile phone that said " ONIIICHAN , HONTONIIII , ONIIICHAN ". 

The triad boss doing his buisness was baffled for a minute to hear the Loli voice , but soon thought that it must be another girl sent to pleasure him. Thinking nothing wrong of the situation , he went onto open the door , only to horrifyingly see a man instead. A fully suited one at that. 

Jhonny looked at the triad boss's weiner and said " Ha , my thumb is larger than that joke ". 

As two daggers pierced the triad chiefs neck. The prostitute in the room was stunned to silence , as she was horrified , however Jhonny charmingly winked at her and made a ' Shhhhh ' sign . 

The girl put a finger on her lips and obediently said nothing. Jhonny's mission was complete as he wanted to leave. However a nefarious idea entered his mind. 

Before going away , Jhonny performed a gender change ceremony on the corpse before taking a few pictures on his cellphone and vanishing into the open. 

Little did he know that for the triads , this little act performed by Jhonny would infuriate them to no ends , and that Jhonny would become a sworn enemy of the entire organization. 

Jhonny posted the photos on a whistleblower website in China , as he exposed alongside the photo of the corpse countless crimes committed by the triad chief. 

Tommorow the nation was going to wake up to a chaos! 

One of the three triad bosses was found dead in an adult entertainment settlement , with no man parts on his corpse! 

This was a terrifying blow to the prideful triads and their entire organization , who would not take it lying down .

Everyone from the topmost government official to the bottom rung sweeper on the streets were having an eye out for the triad retaliation. As an emergency meeting was called by between the two remaining triad chiefs.

( Meanwhile in Hazelgroove kingdom ) 

The experiments for the unstable alchemic reagents were getting at a crutial stage , success meant that Hao Mi would get her hands on a ace card that she could use against her eventual clash against the Elites. 

The purpose of the reagent was to blow a hole into the massive wall the Elites were currently building. 

As with the defense of the massive wall standing strong , the path to victory was lined up with problems for any invaders. 

Hao Mi was working hard on building a terrifying force to eventually crush the Elites and the raze the entire Purplehaze city with her. 

Although the inevitable clash was still a few months away , the preparations from both sides were in full swings. 

The test on the reagent was conducted , as heat was provided by a burner to the green liquid boiling in the flask. Within seconds , a loud explosion covered the room , as the glass windows completely shattered from the shockwave . 

The room was nearly destroyed , as cracks could visible be seen on the wall near which the experiment took place. And only with such a low quantity of a single alchemic flask. 

If there was a barrel full of this stuff .... It could blow up any damn wall it stood against !!! 

The experiment was a success! 

/// Happy new year to you all , I wish this year be productive for everyone of you , and that this year brings lots of good health and fortune for you and your family.
