Chapter 143: Discussion at Summersoft

Summersoft HQ, Ares city;

"In my opinion, I think we should proceed early with the update along with a few changes," said Aria with a serious look, taking everyone by surprise.

The chairman frowned, "Hmm, why?"

A GM named Tatsuya asked, "Is there a major issue that we aren't aware of? An early update means there's at least one that even you can't fix it directly without affecting the players, right?"

"No, there's nothing like that. No need to worry about it," said Aria as she shook her head. "The problem lies with a few players."

"Players?" the chairman then asked, "explain."

Suddenly, a 3D holographic projection of a screen appeared in the middle of them, projecting from Aria's eyes.

On the screen appeared a short video of a 14-year-old teenager, named Orion, who was fighting a giant crab on the beach, sitting on top of a giant turtle.

As the video paused, Aria spoke, "this player escaped the barrier of the kingdoms and occupied an island. He somehow found the Portal ring and caused a heavy unbalance."

While everyone was taken aback to hear the mythic grade item was fallen into a player's hands already, Aria continue to project another video with Galaxy Cry who was biting on to beasts and controlling them to fight against other monsters and then, in turn infecting them and so on…

"With the speed, he's infecting people, by tomorrow or day after tomorrow, he will complete the quest and release the Vampire race to the people."

Upon hearing her, another GM named Maverick frowned, "no, we can't let it happen. It's only been a month since the release. New race at this period isn't good."

As everyone nodded in agreement with him while started to wonder whether one of their colleagues betrayed the company and sold the information outside, a new face was projected once again to Bran, who was massacring thousands of his enemies with a single attack.

"This legend class player unsealed his mythic grade weapon and the accessory, and then found a powerful skill in the first auction. With a combination of both, his strongest attack crosses even a Billion at such a low level. Another unbalanced character."

And then, she proceeds to project a few more videos of the people who are too strong that they can't fit into the masses and there are others whose simple actions cause variable changes in the main stories of their kingdoms.

30 minutes later;

"All of these are within my range of calculations. After all, exceptions exist everywhere. But, this final person is the very reason I wish to make this decision. Unless I make the changes, this player will destroy the balance of the game for sure.

He even created a terrifying monster that has the ability to evolve to Lucifer's level without knowing. It was completely out of my expectation."

While the GMs were taken aback upon seeing the birth of a creature from the blue rock, on the other hand, the chairman became serious as he asked after hearing the word Lucifer. "Who is it?"

On the screen, a video started to play.

"Huh? Miss Aria, earlier, you mentioned it was a player but I can only see the Dragon. Where is the player on top of it?" asked a GM as everyone is staring at a Greenish blue Dragon that was spewing out the fire and destroying all the houses on some island.

"He is the player, I'm talking about," replied Aria as she was also staring at the recent video that was extracted by one of her clones who was stalking him in secret and recording all of his movements without his consent.

"Eh? A Dragon?" the chairman stood up in shock and then turned towards Aria, "it's not possible, right. Did you guys plan to create Dragon race without letting me know about it?"

"No, there's no beast race, Mr. Chairman," replied GM Tatsuya before turning towards the little girl, "Wait a second. Miss Aria, did he unlock the hybrid class?"

Aria shook her head in response, "not exactly. You can indeed think of it as a Hybrid but he's also half-angel. It was only possible because of the presence of the princess of the Dragon clan.

Now, this isn't one issue. There are a lot of other issues like…"

As Aria proceed to show all the out of the box things that Wil had done until now, in the end, not one of them remained sitting in their seats with a shock on their faces.

Even the chairman was astonished as he was watching at the video where Wil was massacring seven thousand elite members of Dreamwalkers with a single attack, and then, he glared at the GMs and asked loudly, "which one of you leaked the information to him?"

The GMs flinched upon hearing the explosion of the Chairman, who clearly looked like he was angry at them.

As they try to prove their innocence, Aria supported their claim, "I trust them, Mr. Chairman. Some of these things are only known to me. I even suspected that he hacked into my system using an unknown sentient A.I. like me. 

But, the results are negative.

If this goes on, people will also suspect that he has the support of the chairman and they might lose trust in the company." 

Only after hearing our Aria, did the chairman cool down a bit and sat down before asking as he folds his fingers, putting the elbows on the table, "You are right. A player who has the information that even a GM doesn't have isn't good for the company's image. Should we have a deal with him?"

Then, a GM voiced out his opinion, "How about deleting his character or just ban him from the game? If he complains, we did that because of the massive reports about him.

You can see there's a lot of hate in the forums. Or we can just reply with there's something like a bug or an issue and extend the time."

"Sigh… we can't do that," replied the chairman.

Looking at the confused GMs who were thinking it's a good suggestion, Aria explained, "His real identity is the Chairman of Scarlet group."

As everyone gasped, Aria continued, "There's one more thing. It's not official yet but it seems he's also going to marry the third daughter of Miyazaki Reisa, who is currently serving as the finance minister.

She's also going to be the presidential candidate. Based on my calculations, she has the chance of becoming the next president considering the bill that was passed just a few hours ago about the public voting share will be increased to 50% as Scarlet Securities have a lot of reputation among the masses more than the police. 

So, clashing with him will be the same as clashing with Galaxy Net as well as the government."

"Huh, Miyazaki-san's son-in law?

But, I never found any articles about the alliance of the Galaxy net and Scarlet written on the internet." the chairman frowned as he glanced at Aria.

"Hang on a second.

How did this little girl get this information in the first place when she never left this building? Maybe, she heard a rumor from some staff? Hmm, that's unlikely. Aria is the type to say the things that she confirmed with. Don't tell me she hacked a satellite?"
