Chapter 157 - Guilds

Guilds

Inside a silent room few mature looking men were sitting. Half of them were spilling the smoke from the cigarettes. After the second level of the portal it was important to discuss some of the matters that had been under their concerns.

They wanted to make sure before discussing the details of the matter. They had been keeping eyes at the younger player. Some of the key factors that they noticed in the first level repeated in the second level although the player tried it harder to maintain the logical explanation however he could not skip the keen eyes of the guild masters.

All guild masters of the first top ranking game were invited by the CEO to discuss this matter. His two teams could not cross the first task of the both levels. It was embarrassing for the game owner and the guilds working under the company.

If they could not change the scenario in the third level then the spectators and all the gamers of the servers would face humiliation.

The expected fall was near however the CEO was not ready to admit it. He wanted to change it.

The center of attention was none other than the younger player Jake Lin. The CEO was able to find the whereabouts of his background.

The revelation simply made him go crazy for half a day. He was the harmless younger brother of the girl. He was maddened after knowing that the owner of the 'Sovereign Rulers' intentionally selected him for this team.

Now he was more than sure about the smart CEO that he was up to no good against his enemies. The revealed the idea of the portal could become the morgue of all gaming companies. The third team was gaining reputation among the spectators and the audience.

"Our next team will definitely gain access to the tasks in the portal. I worked over their skills." The master of the loyal guild spoke throwing the smoke in the air.

He was senior among others also his reputation as the guild master was well known. Other guild leaders often feared his temper.

"How can you be sure?" a guild leader questioned. He was fearless because this guild master sent his team in the first level and the team could not show any performance much less to complete some task.

Now half of the fear about this guild master was gone in the smoke. Other guild leaders wanted to send their teams in the portal to test their skills.

They were here to discuss which team they would select for the third level. The CEO had yet to reach and listen their decision. He was not interested to hear their discussion.

His orders reached however before his arrival. A man handed the file and went back.

The guild master opened it and read.

He twitched his brows.

The CEO strictly warned that the selected team should not belong to the already tested guild. It gave direct slap to the guild master. He went to hide his cheeks those burning with the shame however he could not.

He handed the file to the guild leader sitting next to him.

The guild leader read the instruction. He wanted to read it out loud to slap the guild master again however he controlled his urge to do so. The CEO asked to randomly select players from the guilds and test their skills in the portal.

He proposed this idea after knowing that the CEO of the 'Sovereign Rulers' did the same technique for selecting the players.

Now it was firmed that single guild could not send his team instead select the players carefully.

The guilder was shocked to read the further instructions. He read them out loud. Any team player that got selected and could not perform well in the portal, his guild would be removed from the list of the owned guilds of the company.

Now this created some competition among the guilds. They were looking at each other with horror. The disowning guild meant that the players of the guild would become penniless and jobless with no future.

The air got stifling for the guild leaders. They loosened their necktie to take some breaths.

The matter of killing the younger player was delayed. There were only forty eight hours to select the capable players.

…

Jake Line fell on the bed after completing the second level. He was hell tired. The exhaustion of every task was nerve pulling for him most of the time he was worried to create simple course of actions to fulfill the task.

Despite the horrible battles and the tasks he was glad to cross the second level.

No one came to disturb him. His personal space was secured more than ever. Other team members were chilling in the dining hall.

They were curious to meet the younger player however they did not ask the administration.

They could understand the struggle of the younger player in fact he was necessary part of the team. They decided to rest well before the opening of the third level.

The time frames in the game and the tasks types always kept them engaged in the get going with the flow however they could not deny that they were facing exhaustion.

If they did not rest well then they might not remain fit for the live game portal. After dining to their heart content they went back in their personal space.

The third level would bring lot of challenges for them because the enemies were preparing to give damage to the third team during the third level.

It was up to the team how they would tackle the sharp and cunning players. The fans on the official account were increasing. Jake did not check the account because he was busy with the tasks.

His reputation as the confident yet blunt gamer was topping up the charts. He was giving nickname as the genius of the gaming world. The fans were waiting for his response.. They sent several thousand wishes after the completion of the second level.
