After making the deal with the Angel's Rudra returned to Earth with a heavy heart.

On one hand he had just gotten a taste of the thrills that awaited him in the wider universe while on the other he was told by an angel that tough times laid ahead for him.

Rudra was not someone who would back off from difficulties and challenges, however with the last one month being the best of his life there was a little sadness in his heart to think that thevacation period was coming to an end, and from tommorow onwards work would resume as usual.

Rudra was still a little bitter about Naomi's health condition and Max's attitude over the past few days however when he closed his eyes and thought about all the potential enemies he had in the universe and the thousands more he was going to make overtime, Rudra felt that he did not have the energy to keep fighting with his family too.

A lot of important stuff needed his urgent attention as in less than 24 hours the first awakening was going to begin and Rudra needed to go and take a final look at the Battleship as well as start gearing up for alien invasion tommorow.

There was a lot that he needed to do, and very little time for him to do so, however, the first job that he needed to do was to check-in on his wife and kids.

Everything else could come later, as this took the highest priority for Rudra.

********

( At the hospital )

Rudra sat across Naomi , the two kids sleeping in a crib wrapped up in soft yet thick towels beside her as Rudra lovingly gazed at the three.

Naomi looked paler than the last time Rudra saw her and this pained his heart a lot and although he spent an hour trying to heal her as much as he could, there was only so much he could do with the limited mana on Earth.

Just as Rudra was sulking looking at his wife's condition, Gaia spoke a few words of wisdom in his ears.

" Master , if you carry mistress over to your gaming room which is artificially supplemented with mana, you can use nearly 30% of your skills in that room ".

Rudra's eyes shined when he heard this suggestion. It was a brilliant idea!

' Nice one Gaia, why did I not think of this, it was so obviously the right thing to do '.

A wide smile spread on Rudra's face as he contemplated on how to carry Naomi from here to his room without disturbing her sleep and after thinking came up with a very demolishing idea.

Rudra broke down the walls of the hospital widening the doors big enough to carry her wife's bed out as he carefully placed the two kids onto her bed from their crib and then lifted the bed with his superhuman strength and walked with super light steps in-order to not distrub their sleep.Rudra then hijacked the hospital ambulance much to the horror of the staff who at this point began contemplating if Rudra was really the hero they thought he was or was he just a violent bully!

Rudra did not care about their gazes or opinions however , as the patriarch of the elites did the fuck he wanted to do, and there was nothing he was not willing to do if it meant saving his family.

The ambulance stopped right at the door of his private elevator as Rudra slowly took the bed and tried to fit it inside the elevator when he found out that the bed did not fit.

Rudra wanted to destroy the elevator channel too however thankfully there were stairs in the building as well and hence keeping the bed stable at a 0 degrees Rudra climbed one stair at a time taking a good 2 hours to reach his office on the 120th floor.

Once inside Rudra immediately felt mana rush into his mana circuit as he felt his fatigue lessen considerably as he felt capable of expressing some of his powers.

Wasting no time at all Rudra immediately began healing Naomi and he could see visible difference in her skintone in just over a minute.

Naomi woke up feeling warm and when she saw that she was in Rudra's office she did feel perplexed, however feeling the two kids by her side she smiled as she wrapper her arm lovingly around her babies and let Rudra do his work.

Rudra worked extremely hard for the next 1 hour and Naomi seemed to be brimming with life when he was done, looking better than the day he first saw her a month ago.

" Gaia , as she is will she survive the first awakening? ". Rudra asked the A.I with concern

" There is an 80% chance that she will " Gaia replied

" What can I do to make it a 100% ". Rudra asked not liking the odds of 80%

" Nothing at all master , you have reached the limits of the potency of your current skill , a full heal requires more mana flow which is currently unavailable.

Only after the first awakening can a more thorough heal be performed ". Gaia replied.

Rudra sighed a long and heavy sigh as he nodded and called Amelia to help arrange Naomi being taken back to the hospital as he himself needed to depart urgently to get ready for the first awakening.

Hugging his wife tightly , Rudra laid on the bed behind her, his arm wrapping around her and the two kids as the full family enjoyed the warmth of each other for a few seconds.

" Dont die on me please , I-i can't live without you, i would not know how to raise them right without you Naomi, please fight for me ". Rudra whispered in his wife's ears his voice breaking towards the end, however he held his nerves and did not allow a single tear to escape his eyes.

Standing up Rudra stroked the small heads of his two kid's with a single finger as he said " Dad will be back soon " before exiting the building quickly to depart for the island where the Battleship and the response army was waiting for his arrival.

********

( Meanwhile Max )

Max had visited the hospital to check on his sister in law however she was not present as the hospital staff told Max how Rudra tore down walls and dragged her off into some unknown location after hijacking an ambulance.

Max turned to leave however it was at this moment that he saw a familiar face waiting in the lobby just like him holding flowers.

" Max , what a pleasant surprise" said Ethan who looked like he had aged a decade since Max had last seen him.

" Mr Grey, it's been a while ". Max replied

"It seems both of us missed your brothers destruction of the hospital, I'm sure it would have been amusing ". Ethan said with sarcasm and Max politely laughed as a response.

" Tell Rudra when you see him that I'm sorry for missing the last month and his child's birth. I had to stay with my wife in Russia, it's gonna be the end of the world apparently and i wanted a solid family time before it ended ". Ethan made his case and Max made a mental note of it before realising he was not exactly on talking terms with his brother.

" Im sure you will be able to tell him yourself " Max replied with sadness in his voice.

" Haha , if we all somehow survive then for sure ". Ethan replied with a trace of sadness in his voice as well.

Walking upto Max,Ethan gave him a card with a Matt black finish with a single number written on it with what seemed to be gold engraving.

" It's my son's number, I'm sure you remember the brat the two of you used to play together at the elite parties.

He has shockingly turned into a very influential and powerful man having both the grey international and the Russian mafia to support him.

Anyways , i hope you can form a brotherly and mutually beneficial bond with him like the one i share with Rudra.

So when you find yourself in a pickle in Sigma or think about starting your own guild , give him a call will you? ".Ethan said winking at Max

Max took the card and stared at it for a while as Ethan tapped on his shoulders and left.

Little did Max know that this card was going to be his bread and butter in the future.
