' What is my plan to become King? ' Max wondered as he had to make the most important pitch of his life in front of Vega today.
Max always wanted to be the vampire king, and he did have a plan to do so, but his plan was difficult and with a lot of ifs and buts.
There were a million different crossroads in his future where all his efforts until that point could go to dust if he failed, however while he had utmost belief in himself, it was hard to convince a god like Vega to have belief in this plan of his as well.
' What do I do grandpa Drax? How do I tell my plan to Vega the best way possible? ' Max said internally as he turned to the old A.I. for answers
' I think you already know the answer to this question kid, you have grown watching the most charismatic man give convincing speeches.
Just say it like your brother would '. Drax replied as he gave Max the best possible answer according to his assessment of Max's memories.
Listening to Drax's answer, Max's pupils dilated as a lot of his brother's speeches ran through his mind as he got into the character.
Whenever his brother spoke, there was an air of calm around him, every word he spoke was spoken slowly and clearly, he controlled the crowd with his slow pacing and then slowly increased it as he increased the pitch of his voice to heighten their emotions.
There was always a confident smile on his face when he said something ridiculous, and his hand gestures were always synonymous to his wordings.
Although Max was not his brother, he could try to imitate him to the best of his abilities and make this terrific vocational skill of his brother's, his own in the process.
" My plan patriarch Vega is simple, to many it may seem far-fetched and impossible, but for me I have absolute faith in myself and my ability to get the job done " Max said while looking straight into Vega's eyes as he spoke slowly and with confidence.
" My girlfriend at the moment is Asiva Paratus, the only daughter of Cole Paratus and still the legal heir of the Paratus clan.
Together with her, I plan to take back the lands the Paratus have lost to the Kingsman clan and become a lord in the process.
As you know, Lordship in our vampire community is a reward that is given by our King and can only be earnt through merits, which is why I've joined the military to gather the required merits needed for me to be eligible for this reward.
The first concrete step in my plan to become king is hence becoming a lord and taking over the lands of the Kingsman Clan " Max said with enthusiasm and then paused as he waited for Vega's reply.
" Understandable, becoming a lord will bring you inside the system, it will make things hard for you through bureaucracy but will also make things hard for Regus because he would need to deal with you legally " Vega said as he gestured for Max to continue.
" After becoming lord, I will develop my lands at unprecedented speed to rise through the clan rankings.
Like you said, I have connections with the Won Knights and the True Elites, but what you don't know is that I also have connections with elves and angels.
I will use my connections to grow my lands economic prowess at speed, make immigration laws more flexible to harbour lots of warriors and expand my military and population
In the end, I shall legally declare war on clans above me for resources and planets as within 3 years I plan to become top 10 " Max said as Vega shook his head from side to side trying to estimate the validity of the statement he was making.
" Difficult but possible, I would say it is extremely ambitious, but still within the realm of possibility ". Vega said as he gestured for Max to continue.
" Afterwards my plan is to continue to rise through the rankings while increasing my personal strength, that by the time I'm tier8 my clan will be ranked number1
And I will legally challenge Regus Aurelius for the throne " Max said as Vega raised his hand for him to stop speaking as he looked disappointed in Max.
" You are a fool if you think you can EVER reach the heights of tier7 or tier8.
Even from the most exceptional tier3 warriors, maybe 1/100000000000 of the most exceptional warriors will become a god.
From those maybe 1/1000 will become tier7 and from those maybe 1 will become a tier8 god in a thousand years.
If becoming god was as easy as growing cabbage then would everyone in the universe not be a monarch?
But guess what, from every exceptional warrior from every race, the number of monarchs can still be counted on one's fingers
My Titus clan with all the god's we have, with all the years we have put into developing our strength are still struggling to get to number2
I understand where your plan origins from, because it is the same plan I have to dethrone Regus, but I'm at tier7 and my clan is at number3, for you this road is too far fetched for me to invest in you" Vega said as she shut down Max's dreams, Vega thought he was being reasonable, however, he never expected Max to retort against him so violently.
" I'm sorry patriarch Vega, but you are a hypocrite " Max said without flinching as Vega raised an eyebrow listening to this comment.
" You ask me, how would I become king? Let me ask you, IF I EVER BECOME KING, Will it not be when I'm at least tier 7 or tier 8?
If you don't believe that I can reach those heights, then how can I convince you I will be king?
You say my plan is the same as yours, which means it's a solid plan, but of course our starting points are different because you are born the son of the previous Vampire King Rumi Titus, you inherited the Titus Clan, were number 5 on the clan list when you ascended to the throne.
I am born the son of Mahendra Rajput, a tier0 man who died of natural causes before ever experiencing the awakening.
I've gained everything through scratch, my bloodline, my abilities, my class, my powers.
Unlike you, I have to scratch and claw for every bit of power that I have today.
I will be king, I'm sure of it, because it is my destiny to be King.
If the Titus clan is with me in my journey, I will cherish you as my allies, If you are against me, I will become your worst nemesis " Max lashed out at Vega as he voiced his inner frustrations at the patriarch.
The man knew perfectly well how difficult it was to be King, how ridiculous it was for a newbie tier3 vampire to say he would be king one day! However, he still expected a serious answer, yet when he received one, he dismissed it for being far-fetched, it was nothing by hypocrisy on his part.
" You have some balls to say this to my face, Max Rajput, especially considering that I can kill you on the spot without me needing to lift a finger " Vega said as he admonished Max for forgetting his position as an ant in front of Vega.
" Then do it, kill me, I DARE YOU TO KILL ME, I'm weak, I'll admit it, but my background is not.
My friends are not weak, neither is my family.
My father was nothing, he had no standing on earth nor inside the universe, but my brother was Rudra Rajput, HE WAS SHAKUNI THE UNDEFEATED and throughout his journey he has gained countless allies forged through blood.
Even with my brother dead, the bonds he formed are still strong as ever, so if you kill me here today, the Titus clan WILL suffer I promise you that.
The Titus clan will suffer way more than it will gain from licking Regus Aurelius's ass and someday, someone will come knocking on YOUR door for revenge.
It will be one of my nephew's, it will be one of my friends, my master Jhonny English, but someone will come for you and will give you the most horrible death you could imagine.
If you think I'm an ant and you can just trample me, then do it, because frankly I'm done with your interview and your questions.
I respect you, but now it's time for you to choose if you are with me or against me.
Either way, you have no leverage over me because I have prepared myself to die ". Max said as he dropped all pretenses of morality and respect and talked his heart out in front of Vega.
The man was playing games with Max, he was deliberately trying to gauge his depth and his attitude.
Such behaviour was shown to criminals and not to allies. Hence Max was done with taking his shit.
Staring into Vega's eyes unabashedly Max awaited his judgement.
