Chapter 129: Consequences (1/2)

( An article from the daily report epaper )

” A string of firings have been confirmed as over 25 thousand employees have lost their jobs overnight from the Ambani corporation. A shocking turn of events as two new board members have been rumored to have joined the corporation. The fires employees are all rioting and filing wrongfull termination lawsuits to the courts... (Full story on page 9 of the paper ) ”.

Ethan read the article and smiled , the buzz was created , the stock of the Ambani corporation saw a 3 % dip in a single day , that meant that Ambani lost more than one trillion dollars overnight.

He felt no guilt whatsoever for the string of firings he was responsible for , he was actually happy , as the severance package to fire an employee without notice was actually a lumpsum in the Ambani corporation.

The fate of those who were fired was 100 times better than those who are not , as the shrinking company will see many employees let go and with notice at that, meaning there will be no severance pay.

Ethan wanted to gobble up the Ambani group , and it will take a lot of sacrifices , he could not be shaken by the cries of those he stepped over , as his goal was to reach the top.

Naman was faring even better. He was just happy to be 21 , to be a thorn in his fathers side.

Naomi was the one who was affected the most. The string of firings scared her, as when she saw people protesting on the streets on media , she felt it was because of her.

She wished revenge on her father , but not at the costs of innocent lives , she blamed herself for robbing someones livelihood.

She was sulking and her brother had became someone possesed , she could not talk to him about her problem at all. She tried a few times , however he just shot her down.

Her aunt was finally having the life she wanted , enjoying after taking care of the twins for 15 years , she did not want to bother her as well.

The only person she kind of knew was guild leader Rudra. He seemed like an amiable and approachable person in the limited interactions the two had uptill now. Hence she decided to message him to meet up.

( Cuber corporation )

” The entire thing seems absurd and ridiculous , according to the report the derailment happened as the player aldready knew about the plotline before hand”. A senior executive read

” Its the same player we had to negotiate with the last time as well for the bomb incident , the guild leader of True Elites ' Shakuni '. ”

” But how can he know the plotline ? , Everyone of us only know bits and pieces of the plot. As everyone was only part of creating bits and pieces of the picture , the entire thing doesnt make sense unless multiple employees collaborated in leaking him the information ”.

” No that is not possible , ever since the last incident the AI has been monitoring the movements of every employee , there has been no contact whatsoever with the kid , in real life or the game ”.

The atmosphere in the room turned grim. Had the information be leaked , they could have fired the responsible party, ban the player and move on. However now they were back to square 0 , they did not know the source of the problem at all.

” Lets remedy the situation , lets create a jailbreak for the two captured agents , and make them escape with the chalice , lets forcefully remedy the plotline for now and keep a close eye on the movements of the player Shakuni ”.

Everyone nodded , they needed to analyse the situation more to pinpoint the exact cause behind the unexpected event.
