Max's return to Dombivli Palace was tinged with emotion. Although Asiva had instructed the palace staff and their close friends to keep the day's events a secret, their eyes and expressions betrayed them. As Max walked in, their faces flushed with bittersweet tears, as although they tried hard to not speak of the events that had transpired, their faces were an open book for Max to read. Sebastian alone greeted Max with steadiness as he shook his hand with a strong grip and nodded to signal that…

Max could not have been more thrilled to return home! He was imprisoned straight towards the end of the dimensional war and could not enjoy the luxury of returning home as a war hero alongside his faithful troops. He had a pregnant wife and eager subordinates waiting for him to return and take on some of the administrative duties that he had so selfishly imposed upon them for all these months. More importantly, now that Asiva was slowly approaching the more difficult months of her pregnancy,…

( The universal court ) The broadcast had already ended and the only thing that was now pending was Hades's judgement of Max's future.

Endorphins were being released all over Angakok's body as he seemed like a kid in Disneyland.

" Please continue…. " Hades urged Max as he completely ignored Regus. Listening to this comment, Regus felt the universe closing in around him as he noticed the evil smile on Max's face. If Max was not truly a primordial vampire, then why would he let himself be arrested without protest? Why would he not reveal this information to Regus when he confronted him personally in his chambers? Why would he allow himself the humiliation of imprisonment and his good name to be tarnished if it was…

( Angakok's POV ) Angakok lurked in the shadows of Dombivli city as he observed the proceedings of the Universal Court standing amongst the crowd of commoners. Ever since his plan to take over Max's body had failed, he had become obsessed with getting revenge. He wanted to see Max fall into the deepest pits of despair and had spent decades meticulously crafting his plan. Although only a few days had passed in the real world, after his attack on Max inside the dimensional battlefield,…

" So let me get this straight, King Regus, for you lost me at arresting the man under ' Self- Preservation ' Have you or have you not verified the demon claims surrounding Max Rajput's true race? Or did you just assume the information to be true? " Hades asked in a chiding tone as it was clear to him that Regus was purposefully withholding information from him. The cross-question cut through all of Regus's bullshit and hit him straight where it hurts. Naturally, Regus frowned at the question,…

" Explain to me the circumstances surrounding your dual identity and how you lied on the system contract? " Hades demanded as his first question as he caught Max off-guard. Of all the questions that Max could answer cleverly, this was one such question where proving his innocence was tricky. He had deliberately evaded the system contract with the intention of keeping everyone in the dark about his true identity. Now, spinning the story any other way was going to be difficult, while conveying…
