" Granny…. Huh? " Patricia said with a frown on her face as she recalled all the beautiful moments she had spent cuddling and pampering the little kartikeya as a kid only for him to stab him in the back like this as a teenager.
Neatwit on the other hand was dumbfounded by this revelation!
For years he had been separated from his sister Naomi and the kids and now suddenly they were back before his eyes as adults and gods at that!
" Ha…hahah….HAHAHAHA " Neatwit chuckled heartily as he felt genuine joy overflow from his heart.
To him this was the best day of his life as the return of the kids meant that he could finally get to see his sister and talk about Rudra's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, his laughter was timed very badly as Patricia felt like he was laughing on the granny insult as she pointed her sword at him with clear murderous intent.
" Don't take me lightly guildmaster, I can forgive the kids for their naivety but you and me shall go a few rounds if you mock me " Patricia said as listening to her words Neatwit suddenly felt his laughter being stifled.
" You have misunderstood, I'm just happy to see my nephew's and niece " Neatwit defended as Patricia pouted at the response.
However while the two leaders quarrelled, the underlings felt goosebumps rise all over their skin as they looked at the three teenagers with newfound reverence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" That's….. that's guildmaster Shakuni's kids? " One of the elites asked as he wondered how the kids managed to reach the power level at age 18 that took him 50 years to achieve.
" Did you notice the power behind the sword strike of the blue eyed kid? That was undoubtedly something only our guildmaster can teach "
" Woah, so young and so strong, is this the future of the True Elites guild? "
" Wow, I'm in love, all of them are extremely handsome "
As the underlings chartered amongst one another and Patricia and Neatwit squabbled, Kartikeya grinned ear to ear looking at all the chaos he had created.
Within 10 minutes of arriving he had summoned the city administrator and their uncle Neatwit at once and had announced their return in a grand fashion.
Yet, just as he was beginning to enjoy his good-work he was smacked hard on the head by Jake as he forcibly made him bow-
" I apologise on behalf of my brother here, our intention was not to cause trouble or threaten anyone.
Let me start by introducing myself, I'm Jake Rajput, son of Rudra Rajput and Naomi Rajput and this is my sister Amy and little brother Kartikeya.
We used to be inhabitants of planet radiance and have only returned today to our old mansion.
Please treat us with kindness " Jake said with a mature voice as immediately his impression improved amongst the elders.
" HAHAHAHAHA " Neatwit laughed as he could detect the same dialect of Naomi in Jake's manner of speech proving undeniably that he was his nephew.
Neatwit was borderline surprised as to how respectful and mature Jake was, as he did not expect the once mischievous kid to grow up to be such a sensible man.
Pride bubbled in his heart at this scene as he gradually approached the kids with open arms.
" Jake! Amy! Come give uncle Neatwit a hug- " Neatwit said as he approached the two with a big smile on his face.
Although Jake and Amy were uncomfortable, they did remember their mothers twin brother uncle Neatwit and reluctantly gave him a hug despite it being extremely embarrassing.
Kartikeya on the other hand used this opportunity to casually steal Neatwit's sword out of his scabbard as the guildmaster of the elites did not even notice that his sword was stolen while he was hugging his blood niece and nephew.
It was only after he pulled away with tears in his eyes that he noticed Kartikeya playing with a familiar black sword that he noticed that his sword was stolen.
Momentarily this phenomenon baffled Neatwit as he was supposed to be a tier7 god with heaven defying awareness and detection abilities, yet he felt nothing as a kid stole his sword.
Unlike Jake and Amy, Kartikeya was not a blood relative for Neatwit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was Rudra and Ruby's son and while Rudra was like his brother and he was fond of the little one, his patience towards him was ultimately more limited when compared to the other kids.
" Careful now, that sword is no joke, I understand that it might be the best looking sword you have ever seen in your life but, stealing it from an elder is not very polite….. now give it back little one " Neatwit said as Kartikeya tossed the sword back to Neatwit with an expressionless face.
" No offence uncle Neatwit but do you seriously think that blade is any good?
I'm sure mother uses kitchen knives sharper than your sword " Kartikeya said as Neatwit felt absolutely violated by the words of a little kid.
He wanted to refute Kartikeya's words by explaining to him how rare a semi-divine blade was and how valuable such a treasure was, but then he remembered the sort of family he came from.
The serious look on his face and the innocence in his eyes was proof that he was not at all joking which made his comments feel that much worse to Neatwit as he felt his pride as a guildmaster shatter.
' Ofcourse, Rudra would have better blades as kitchen knives….. but do you have to rub it in my face? ' Neatwit wondered as Patricia burst out laughing at this insult.
Neatwit immediately pointed his sword at Patricia but felt his face go red as at this moment everyone on Radiance understood the sort of menace that Kartikeya Rajput really was.
Although Patricia was not sure about the future plans of the Rajput family, she knew that things around Radiance were bound to get much more rowdy now that they were back!
