Chapter 81 - Feast Of Kings

Feast of Kings

Second Level of the Game Portal

They were in the sea of dilemma how they would get out of it yet the exit was in front. They might have casted glance over the details nevertheless they were in hurry. 

The screens were announcing their team 'winner' of the first level. The spectators heaved some breaths of ease. Some of them were secretly annoyed at this success. 

They did not want any team to come alive or they wished all of them should fail. The promised money was delivered in accounts of the wining members. The other two teams also got some fat envelops. The first level and the live broadcast through servers were successful. 

The organizers were sending big gifts to the one who initially suggested this idea. The dates for second level were announced. The teams were already selected. Two new teams would join in with the third winning team. 

Overall the organizers were much glad because it completely washed their deeds and no one possibly could hit them again or sue them in the court. The effected families secretly contacted with the bigger guilds in order to ask for position in the upcoming levels. 

Almost everyone related with the five bigger games were involved. Some wanted to earn money. Others wanted to earn reputation. There was few that want revenge. 

Now they were waiting for the second level and anticipating the type of challenges. The winning team was given some special security. This team belonged with the 'Sovereign Rulers' 

Other enemies were slight doubtful as to how they won so they sent their spy. The young CEO of the 'Sovereign Rulers' took initiative beforehand and sent security to every team member. He wanted to provide them personal space for second level. 

This team was chosen after much deliberation. The team proved its worth. Now they were taken as treasure and others could steal such treasure for sure. Other organizers also sent assassins to kill half of the team members. 

Fortunately the security reached earlier. They escorted almost all members to the headquarters of the 'Sovereign Rulers' only Jake was reluctant to listen them. The security man wearing black suiting stood erected like robot. 

He dialed the number and handed the boy. Jake was scared to see so many security men. They were looking like men in black. Jake put the phone near ear, "Jake Lin younger brother of Patina Lin I am the CEO of 'Sovereign Rulers' I chosen you for the team despite knowing that you are nobody. I know you want revenge but for this you should be alive because dead cannot take revenge. I welcome you in the headquarters so that you can battle second level with the same enthusiasm. Hope you will understand what is beneficial for you and your aims." The call ended. 

Jake wanted to see stats and follow the instructions of the system however this call was enough to let him know that his enemies were still after him. 

He gathered some necessary cards and the papers. Somehow he knew that when he would not be around someone would break in the house. He also picked the old phone of his sister. After this he was ready to leave the house where he used to live without the worries of the big world. 

There was small world around him and he never imagined that he would battle with bigger bosses one day. He was sure that he would sue them openly and they will be humiliated in front of the world. 

They cared their reputation and money. He would snatch both. Just little bit of time. 

…

Headquarters 

Every player was given separate suite in the headquarters. They were treated like celebrities. Jake refused to meet unnecessary people till he properly adjust in the new settings. Actually he wanted to see whether he earned enough Exp to heal his broken arm. 

The workers were at his beck and call so they left him alone in the personal suite. Jake was trying to calm his nerves because he was afraid that perhaps the CEO of the 'Sovereign Rulers' disliked him for what happened because of Patina. 

He was small kid to understand the bigger games of the gaming Lords. There was advanced level gaming console and tools that he needed. The play station was wonder in itself. 

They was bedroom, all the necessities that he needed. Other players were different. They met with each other and celebrated their first victory though Ahram, Albert and Sashi were still in their personal suites. They were resting. 

The nerve pulling battle and the brewing revenge in their hearts was making them restless. Jake did not complete daily quest so he got busy in filling his stomach. 

He was eating food taken from the icebox. It was placed and filled to the brim with all food items for the sake of player in case he did not want to get disturbed by the service providers. 

After filling his stomach he got ready for the exercise. This exercise was life saver. He might never have had been able to fulfill many tasks or controls without the dexterity of the left hand. 

He was too tired to rest however he opened the stats instead.

His eyes were getting heavy however at the last line he was wide awake. Jake followed instructions. As soon as he clicked the healing option something overshadowed his senses. 

White fog appeared around the right arm but Jake was unable to see. He fell unconscious or perhaps fell asleep. All of the players did not take third break during the game. 

They were afraid that they might miss something. Their hard work bore fruit and the cleared the impossible level. Three broken bones got healed and the white fog disappeared again. 

Though the disability was still there however it was no more broken.
