51 Inheriting the Mantle (1/2)
Back on Earth, the World Government's strange movements have caught the attentions of several conglomerates built by their own ”immortal” gamers.
These businesses focused on the gaming world which provided them massive profits either by building an empire online or by tournaments with massive price pool offline.
-Team Warcry's Main Building-
Inside the meeting room of the humongous building of the elite team Warcry, the core members of the team is sitting around a huge round table with a solemn atmosphere.
”It has been more than a year since Jim and the captain were killed by an unknown force. I cannot think of anyone else that is capable of hunting down our members without us finding even a single clue on who did this. I presume that the World Government is involved in this.” An asian youth with the standard black hair dressed with a standard business attire said gravely, breaking the silence in the room.
”I am not sure if the World Government is involve but I know for sure that something is happening from behind the scenes. They are targeting ”immortal” gamers spefically.” A scrawny teen responded.
”We cannot just sit by and not do anything with regards to this ensuing problems. We need to figure out what is the goal of this unknown force and why are they targeting harmless gamers like us.” A blonde girl said softly.
”I want all the members who are not dubbed as ”immortals” to gather in the branch building located in City F. Do not leave without a bodyguard and just stay inside the building as much as possible. Accomodations will be provided by the team fully. All you need to do is focus on the games that you are respectively playing in.” The asian youth declared while scanning the crowd.
”As for the three of you, you will be with me in the main building. You are not allowed to go out of the building without my permission.” He added while pointing out the remaining three ”immortal” gamers.
These ”immortal” gamers are usually reserved for competing on tournaments specially when the price pool reach in billions of dollars.
A bald youth which was previously closing his eyes with his head hanged low suddenly raised his brows while staring at the asian youth with questioning eyes.
”Arya, I know that it will be hard for you to stay in the building but I am doing this for your own safety. You can also bring your family in here so you can just forget about your reservations. Same goes for all of you. You can gather your families in the assigned buildings to make sure that they are safe.” He responded calmly.
The bald youth pondered a bit before nodding his head without saying anything before closing his eyes again.
The rest of the crowd nodded their heads in low spirits. Usually, they are free spirited. They chose to be gamers because of its relatively safe environment comparing to other professions. Now, because of the strings of strange events, they can only live inside their buildings just to be safe.
”Meeting adjourned. Make the necessary preparations immediately.” The asian youth concluded with a sigh upon noticing the crowd's spirit.
