Chapter 66 - Spoils Of War!
True Elites guild wiped the floor with Orange Rock , in what was sure to be one of the most major upsets in eSports history and the aftermath of the war was absolute Chaos!
The words that Rudra said before the war ended " We are the best guild in Hazelgroove kingdom " had created turbulent waves ... For the guild members who achieved victory these words were something etched into the very fibre of their being , stemming immense pride .... That yes i am a True Elite guild member .... I am part of the best guild in the kingdom ..... Who dares stop us?
For the commonfolk of the kingdom , the solo adventurers and small guilds , the image of True Elites was that of a titan ... The onestop destination , the most premium guild to join!
However the second and first rate guilds went into panic mode following the war .... If even 50 players can topple thousands , what was the key to establishing dominance in the game?
Whats the point of having such a large manforce if quality trumps quantity? Will they have to negotiate terms with puny 200 member guilds from now on? They are spending millions in hiring , funding and managing the guild yet if this is how the game dynamics function, isnt their whole guild structure a joke?
The appearance of the bombs was the biggest shock in the entire war! And the servers had exploded with how to procure the bombs . Many major corporations approached Rudra and in association the Grey international over the matter.
However were denied access to the information , the price was not right yet..... When the demand for information on bombs would reach its peak , then Rudra would divulge information about the spike bombs and Frost bombs.
His hidden class and his Waterbomb were his own recipes , and his guilds trump card , those would never be out for sale , and would be highest protected information , that he would not even give to the Grey international.
The second big ramification of the war was that because of the upset , many people became rich overnight because of the payout odds being ridiculously high while most people lost money.
The news channel experts faced a huge nightmare as public outrage was enormous ..... Those who bet on Orange Rock victory all lost their money big time and their anger vented on the prediction experts for being soo stubborn and foolish.
While analysing about the war many experts used bold statements like " They have no chance in hell"
" They will win if pigs can fly "
"If you think there is hope for an Elite Victory , you are an idiot".
Such bold statements and now they were supposed to chew on it. Because the Elites really won!
On the TV screens they were drenched in sweat and at a loss for words as they were bombarded with insults after insults after insults .
" What experts they are a bunch of buffoon s"
" You made me loose 1000 dollars , ill curse your seven generations ".
" SHAME ON YOU AS A ANALYSER".
" Such bold words , saying that you will shave your head bald if the elite's win . Now keep your word and do it ! ".
" Shave your head! "
" Show us the moon baldie !"
" SHAVE , SHAVE , SHAVE "
" Shave it before i rip it off! ".
The public sentiment went crazy , but in a corner there was one man who made a fortune from the Elite win , thats right he is none other than Ethan Grey .
Betting heavily on an Elite win his payday was enormous .... Enormous beyond reason ..... Not only did his stocks see a spike , his prestige took a turn for the better. As many people started connecting the dots.
"Ethan Grey recruited Shakuni ..... That might be the mastermove of the century ... How lucky are the Greys" . This was said by one of the six trillionare s Mr Elon Musk
" If the True elites had no backer , id buy it out today". A billionare commented.
The world was in awe of todays victory and the name True Elites gained unprecedented prestige.
Yua was genuinely happy for Rudra and was on cloud nine , she sent a post congratulating them on the victory ..... This created another rumon mill to erupt that the True Elites and Azure Lotus had a close connection.
The central attention of all these talks though , the guild leader of the True Elites though was now sitting in his home in the upside. Disconnected from the game eating lunch with family.
His mom and dad tried to talk about the war.... Being parents they were very stressed out the last few days and greatly overjoyed by the outcome .... Although they were not players they followed the news about their son closely.
Little Max was overjoyed and talked about how his brother was soo cool ! Rudra ruffed his hair and smiled .... He dint talk about the game at all and instead talked about family affairs.
Rudra had it all in this life .... Money , Fame and Prestige ... However his most cherished thing was his family ..... And in this hour of joy , he wished to spend it with the people that mattered the most . And they were all on this table!
The scene was not soo merry for Orange Rock though ..... With Ambani's support gone they were in a ton of debt , with loosing the war they were forced to pay the war debt collateral of 70% of their possessions as war compensation .
The guild went almost broke .... The morale was on a all time low as the memebrs wearing the Guild insigna were bullied everywhere .... The guild leader was nowhere to be seen and massive number of members started quitting.
Donald faced an unprecedented low in his life ..... And had broken down , thinking " where did i go wrong? "
