( Half n hour before the press conference , The Grey towers conference room )

Rudra and Ethan were seated in the conference room talking about their respective timelines , understanding how their actions changed the timeline this time around. The shocking thing was that in Rudra's timeline Ethan Grey was always a trillionare. Rudra knew Ethan as the Investment God.

However their conversation was cut short with the entry of some corporate officials from various big organizations here for meeting Ethan about the big press conference and gaining intel ahead of time, and Adam. Adam was the number one player in Royal Road and an established Professional gamer who was revered world wide. The Grey international poached him for running the operations for the Grey Warrior's guild. He is the serving Guild master of a superpower !

Rudra was cautious at first of Adam ..... in his last life Adam was a competent and ruthless type of guild leader but not much was known about his personality .

The officials came in and Greeted Ethan first .... soo did Adam ... Ethan just nodded in response. Ethan then proceded to introduce Rudra " Gentleman this is Rudra Rajput ..... However you may better know him as ' Shakuni ' The guild leader of 'True Elites' .

The eyes of the corporate people widened in shock , they quickly sent glances at Rudra measuring him. The fact that Rudra was in the upside and under Grey's fold was not known to anyone yet .... hence the appearance of Rudra here was enough to shock everyone .

Rudra was currently being sought out by various major corporations ..... The bounty on his information was by no means less.

Ethan loved the shocked reaction of everyone in the room , he continued " The Grey International owns a 30% stake in the True Elites guild , And Rudra is like my little brother ..... Both the Grey Warrior's and True Elites will recieve full support from my company ".

The corporate officials now recieved a mental breakdown ... Grey had aldready poached Rudra .... but more shocking is he only owns 30% stake but is providing unconditional support ... And Rudra is like his little brother??????? FUCK , isnt that declaring that messing with Rudra is messing with the Grey's? Who in their right mind's would mess with the Greys?

Ethan continued " Rudra this is Adam White , the guild leader of Grey Warrior's guild , you two take your time and get aquainted before the press conference , let us buisnessman talk buisness ". With that he lead the corporate officials in another conference room leaving the two of them alone.

" Yo , brooooooo you're Shakuni that is soooo sick dude ". Adam said in a typical American accent. He appeared completely laid back and chilled

" Nice to meet you " Rudra said with a smile

" Your name keeps ringing every week on the server's brother you are goooood man ".

Rudra did not understand .... whats wrong with this guy ? why is he acting like he s a surfer or something? Is this the integrity of a professional gamer? But that got answered soon .

" Okay lets get serious for a second " Adam said , his tone getting heavy and his posture getting straight ..... it was almost like he was a different person altogether.

" How did you get your hands on a platinum guild token". He asked

Rudra knew this was gonna come up in this conversation , originally he never intended to reveal the secrets about the platinum guild token However now with Ethan treating him soo nicely , the least he could to was to help a brother guild.

" There is only one in each kingdom , and the method to obtain them is by clearing SSS rank quests that leads to open picking of loot from the warehouse of the Church of Light , this method holds true for every kingdom in the Eastern continent , in the Western continent it is in the kingdom 's treasury ".

Adam nodded .... he knew Rudra was showing him favour by revealing such coveted information soo casually .... instantly he felt a bond with Rudra.

" Im in the kingdom of nine clouds , what do you suggest ".

" You need to be a viscount first , then approach his royal majesty in the court and report to him about corrupt officials in the court ... It will lead to the episode Corruption in Court .... which will need you to expose the crime by gathering proofs .... at the end you maybe promoted to a Marquis and granted one wish .... ask for the platinum guild token then ".

Rudra explained an entire quest line in detail ....Adam was not an idiot ... he knew Rudra could not possibly know soo much .... how did he have this information?

Rudra was prepared for this however " Wondering how i know all this? "

Adam nodded

" You know that every book inside the game was personally written by the Cuber staff .... the history of the empire ... important personalities ... some quest related information etc etc ".

Adam nodded .... insane time and preparation went into making the game ' Omega'. Everything had a backstory and a baground.... it was like an entire world in itslef with its history, battles and culture.

" One such book by mistake contained all the plans the company made for the platinum guild tokens... all the quest lines and location .... it wasn't meant to be that way ... probably a mistake in the developers side hence after i read the book and created the platinum guild it was erased from the library ".

Adam was convinced now it was luck that helped Rudra .... Such mistake is indeed rare but may happen ... developers are also Humans afterall .

He said " Thankyou Rudra , know that although we are under the same organization and hence will always have a healthy competition to be the best .... My guild will always have your guild's back besides that".

Rudra looked into Adam's eyes and saw that he genuinely meant it , He smiled and said " DITTO".

With this Adam smiled and slouched again , regaining his surfer mode saying stuff like " Brooooo , come to our kingdom broooo lets do Dungeon runs together ".

" Brooo what kinda women do you like ".?

Inshort he fried Rudra's brain for the next 15 minutes untill the press conference. Ethan smiled seeing the two of them getting along well ... it was now time for the press conference and to show the world the might of the Grey conglomerate .
