Chapter 331 - Shining Too Bright
Chapter 331 – Shining Too Bright
The Elites had collected all the necessary equipment needed to build the teleportation array. Hiring skilled NPC labour force , paid by the day , Rudra made an expedited construction plan for the teleportation array.
The project was set to complete in 25 days , extending to a maximum of 30 . Currently 2500 people were building the array in the outer district in sector 7 of the city , the reason for this was simple. Sector 7 was a market and goods sector. It had some inns and it had the most flourishing shops and black markets. It was the best area for tourist visits. However it was also the easiest to contain , should something unfortunate happen.
Away from the inner district , and away from the truly mega structures of the city , like the grand library , the church of light and the city administration office , it ensured that the inner city would not be easily compromised.
Moreover being a semi industrial sector it was still inside the city wall. Hence well protected. But also away from the residential districts of 1,2,3 sectors.
Hence even in a conflict although there would be material loss , the loss of life would be minimal. There was another advantage to setting it up in sector 7. As now under the pretext of city security , Rudra could place checkpoints at all roads entering and leaving sector 7 and increase patroll in the area. This would decrease crime , and Rudra would have eyes on what goods the merchants were trading. He would virtually now have eyes over the economic lifeline of the city , from where he could slowly enact laws that would show customs certificates to bring in goods. Smuggling and illegal trading would suffer a massive blow due to this.
Hence having various benefits. The massive construction began in sector 7 , while slowly the patroll in the area was quadrupled. With a small military contingent permanently stationed.
These changes did not go unnoticed by the world , as players would start talking about every action that the Elites took. From undertaking one massive project to another , it was clear to every onlooker the Elites had really deep pockets. Most assumed that it was Ethan Grey funding them , however that was not the case , and only those who studied corporate and had a track over finances like major banks . Knew the secret that the guild was actually giving Ethan returns and not borrowing money.
Naturally such news were secretly sold to other influential people , who alongside the rise of the Elites in the Olympics , slowly became very interested in the organization.
Usually noone would be able to get past Amelia to meet Rudra , she took care of everything in-game and even outside , she was the ultimate secretary for Rudra . The fact that the upside was such a protected community was probably one of the reasons behind her job being a little easy , but even so , just like Ethan Grey had his own team working for him . Amelia made sure to schedule important meetings and declined everyone she did not deem fit to meet Rudra all together.
She was started to gain a reputation inside the Elites , as the head of logistics she was only a level 5 player , however her authority within the guild was absolute. Except for Rudra and Karna who were both goofs and except for wars and things related to fighting were absolutely useless she was the real boss of the Elites.
Deciding the pay of the members , the benefits , approving equipment requests , mentaining the warehouse. Looking over all the ambitious projects Rudra started , while also keeping an eye on world and in guild events , and reporting to Rudra , she was a one woman show.
Known to have a fierce temper , and extreme proffesional attitude , that was court and formal . She came off as a cold businesswoman . A workhorse who worked about 14 hours a day in game and worked 2 hours in real life before calling it a day.
She was the literal lifeline of the guild and Rudra knew it very well. Paying her extremely well , Rudra would shower her with bonuses and gifts soo expensive it would make even billionaire's wives blush.
But Rudra knew it was worth it , it was a symbolic gesture to show Amelia how much he valued her as a member , and Amelia knew it very well . She liked working in the Elites exactly because Rudra appreciated her soo much and gave her a total autonomy.
The work became worship for her, as the potential of the guild just kept skyrocketing. Hence with Rudra being out of reach , soon outside investors started targetting Amelia. They knew that the boss woman was the only way to meet the boss.
However no matter the income or the offer or the threat Amelia never buckled. Hence when Rudra came to the guild hall and saw Amelia anxiously waiting at the corridor for him , he was shocked.
Amelia instantly said " There is a very dangerous woman waiting in your cabin , guild master , think of your next actions very seriously … ".
Seeing Amelia soo serious Rudra knew that something serious must have happened. Someone who could force a meeting from Amelia and cause her to be soo worried must be a real bigshot.
Rudra walked in to his own conference room , yet he was not intimidated at all , throwing a glance at the woman seated , Rudra calmly walked up to the head of the table where his seat was and sat down.
Glancing at her he said " How may I help you miss….. ".
" Hao Mi ". The woman said
Rudra's eyes widened , he knew the name , of one of the bosses of the Chinese traids …. The infamous sadist who liked to torture her victims to death , the rumors said that none of her lover's have survived more than one night with her , as they end up in either Coma or dead the next morning.
And now she was here , in his cabin .
" Ohhh , so you know my name , I'm famous I guess , especially among men ". Hao Mi said seeing his reaction.
