    Rudra crumpled the letter as his blood started to boil .... How dare they threaten my guild?


    Yet he needed to be rational here , this matter was no joke ..... 7 major guilds uniting against True Elites naturally it was not a pretty situation .


    The first thing Rudra did was he called Karna and Fatty Ksh and sent a copy of the letter to the Grey office.


    He sat down with the two , his hands trembling as he asked " What do you guys think "?


    Both Ksh and Karna paled upon reading the letter. This was no supression contract , it was aplete very contract , they wanted to turn the Elites into their private dogs.


    They were speachless as to how to respond , both of them wanted to burn the paper to a crisp , but they understood the severity of the situation , it couldn''t be taken lightly at all ... After a while fatty said " Hey , you built this guild , i am here because of you , no matter what you choose , i will be with you ".


    Karna nodded " I have faith in your choice , guild leader ".


    Rudra sighed, thats right he could not let his emotions get the better of him , he had a damn guild to run , he had to wait till Ethan Grey had a opinion before he took a decision.


    He logged out , as he rode his car towards the Grey tower


    ------------------------


    ( The Grey towers , the upside )


    Rudra and Ethan were sitting face to face , both having deep frowns. To Rudra''s surprise , the Main guild leader Adam was also there.


    Ethan said " Someone is clearly targetting the Grey international , even the main guild had a sudden opposing faction stand up today ".


    Rudra arched his eyebrows , who was dumb enough to challenge a super guild.


    Adam said " Two first rate guilds have allied to challenge us to a war , although we are not much worried , and have a clear advantage, i am afraid you being in a different Country all together , it will be difficult to dispatch a sizable amount of troops needed for your guild to resist the supression". He said lowering his eyes, clearly ashamed.


    Ethan smashed a ss to the wall " The timing of the whole event is too perfect to be a coincidence , someone is definitely pulling the strings behind the scenes".?He was furious


    " I know you are part owner in the guild Ethan , but i do not wish to give in to the supression , let me tell you i have a way for my guild to hold our ground , but it will take a lot of resources and help from your side to happen , what do you say ". Rudra said


    Ethan''s eyes shone with brilliance , he knew Rudra''s biggest secret , however the shaky voice with which Rudra was speaking things he asked " how sure are you?".


    Rudra replied honestly " Depends on how many pieces of the puzzle i obtain , every step will be crucial ".


    Ethan nodded , he understood this better than anyone , in arge scale n , there is a long timeying foundations before even starting the path of action .


    " What do you need ? ". Ethan asked


    " First and foremost , manpower ..... I want you to make my current 55 guild members and families to relocate to Country J , additionally do a check on them and monitor their ounts for spies , i need a new wave of recruits , however no longer will there be a traditional recruitment method , i am giving you a list of game IDs. I am not sure if everyone still has the same name ... Rudra paused looking at Adam awkardly , before saying , try get them all ".


    Ethan nodded understandingly , these were probably top yers with good skills in hisst life , however are yet to be discovered as talents this life ... They might not even pick the same in game id , this was going to be a pain to look for them all and relocate them. But the least he could do was this much .... He agreed.


    Ethan also resolved to find out who was pulling the strings behind the scenes , the next few days were going to be turbulent.


    ------------------


    Back in the game , PurpleHaze city .


    Rudra rounded up everyone in the guild in the guild hall and said " Guys , we have riled up all the big guilds in the city , and they feel threatened by us , they feel threatened by our momentum and jealous by our fame and sess.....they wish to supress and bully us for being wayy better than them .... I ask you all , will we give into the bullying? ".


    " NO SIR ".?A loud response was heard .


    Apparently while Rudra was gone Karna had aldready conducted a meeting informing the members of ths situation , however none of them wavered , their trust in Rudra was solid.


    " Fine then , Lets proove them right , lets show them why they are right to fear us ".


    Rudra then attached a note to a photo of the signed letter posting it on the forums saying


    " To the seven big bullies of Hazelgroove , the True Elites says JUST BRING IT , Signed Shakuni".?And hit post.
