NOVEL WEB Chapter 16: The consequence
The Advani multinational had suffered a huge blow in the last two days with stocks plummeting first 30% then consequently 10% over a period of two days. The freefall will continue over the next few days if the situation is not remedied.
The president of Advani multinational and Nitin's Father Gautam was furious at the cause behind this event.
Naturally his son being such a wimp was a slap in his face as he was a cutthroat businessman who built this empire from scratch, destroying all opposition on his way to the top.
"Why do I have such trash as my son?" he sighed, nonetheless the perpetrator behind this event also needed to be taught a lesson.
It seems we need to pay the Cuber industries a visit.
Cuber industries is the creator behind the game 'Omega' and also has 60% role in developing the full dive headset. It was a huge conglomerate worth hundreds of billions of dollars.... However, his request to them would be simple so he expected them to give him some face.
He visited the head station in Mumbai, India where he met with the local chief executive .
"Sir I would like to know the personal information of an individual playing the game.... here is a video of an in game incident that has cost me hundreds of millions of dollars.... I would appreciate it if your company could cooperate with me on this issue, I would be glad to donate some money for this amicable relationship to be smoother."
Advani was a sly businessman he put in the temptation of a bribe either to his superiors or to the executive himself if he had enough authority to share what he needed.
"Humph!" the official just snorted.... "I am not interested in your petty money Mr. Advani, our company will not divulge user information"
"Security, please escort this vile man out of my office."
Mr. Advani was shocked.... he called him a Vile man?? he never had to take such bullshit from anyone ever... what arrogance?
He was ready to offer millions of dollars for a name... yet they refused?? Is money worthless to them? does everyone not run by greed??
Being an Extremely greedy man himself he found this Extremely illogical.... yet then it clicked to him.
That guy.... with his extraordinary background in the game and seeing this officials reactions.... he is bound to not be someone with a simple background..... seems like I cannot take revenge so openly. I need to think this through.
Either that or the company is just not willing to divulge information.... anyway I need to tread carefully and thoroughly scout him before deciding what to do.... I need to hire a lot of PR and mercenaries for this task now..... it will cost more than buying it directly but what option do I have?
The executive was not interested in money because he was paid hundreds of millions, but Mr. Advani not knowing this thought that the background of Rudra must be the reason why they did not divulge his information.
The game had an appearance altering mechanism, although Rudra did not opt to use it a third party could not be sure whether or not it was his real face or not.. hence circumstantially fate bought Rudra time... time he needs badly to consolidate his position in real life.
But Rudra drunk on his revenge has not realized this yet..... He was set to complete Emmisary of Church's part three, oblivious to the disasters that may be falling on him at anytime.

(Back inside VR world ... the road between Purplehaze city and Thol village... the location of the Quest)
"Well I'm poor again." sighed Rudra as he trotted on his horse.
He bought a lot of darkness dispel spells and throwables and a sword made of pure silver costing him 120 Gold.
If it was not for him sucking Nitin dry this would've been tough if he had only sold his weapons.....
As he was nearing his quest location he got a message from PinkLotus.
"Sup, you free?"
Rudra replied almost instantly.
"Nope, I'm in the middle of a quest, why?"
"It's nothing, just that there is this really good café in the capital city, the one you wrote about in your information post. I was just wondering if you would wanna come check it out with me."
Rudra's heart skipped a beat reading this sentence. Why did it sound like she was asking him on a date? Could she be interested in him??
Nononono..... she was the guild leader of one of the best damn guilds there are and her father was a billionaire. No way could she like someone like him, it must be a friendly invitation.
"Yeah sure.... tomorrow if its fine by you." Typed Rudra.
"Done ;) " she replied.
Rudra smiled. Even if it was just a friendly meet he was excited. Focus Rudra Focus. The quest is more important right now, he said to himself.
As he reached an odd looking stone structure he got a notification.
??????? ???? ????? ????? ???????
????????'? ???????
This is it... he thought, it was not going to be easy but he had prepared enough, he rechecked his inventory and his equipment then he drank a max health potion to increase his maximum health.
