Chapter 174 - Terrifying Ethan Grey
World news quickly covered the shocking explosion of the Ambani petroleum mine . As the stock market of Country X suffered a crash the following day.
There was no question about it , Mithun Ambani single handedly drove close to 30% of the country's economy , directly or indirectly.
The country was completely dependant on the Ambani corporation to provide for petrol , diesel and other petroleum products and the explosion of the entire mine saw the prices of petrol skyrocket as there was a huge demand to a nonexistent supply.
Riots broke out on the country's streets as the military had to be involved to invoke martial law. Ambani corporation was the core of various small and big buisnesses and as the ivestors madly betan to withdraw money , the stock market suffered a complete crash the next day.
Country X went into recession as millions of people lost their jobs overnight. And food prices climbed to never before seen heights.
The rich started to hoard supplies and the poor began to steal for survival. The common people suffered the most between the fight amongst trillionaires.
However the winner of this bout was undoubtedly Ethan Grey. Spending 200 billion dollars in releief funds for whoever needed it in Country X , he became a kind hearted philanthropist and hero in their hearts.
The one who caused the incidence saw a surge of rising support , where as the one who suffered the incidence only faced more and more misery.
The government who would always bow out to Mithin Ambani and respect his decisions always , carried out a number of raids after being bribed by Ethan seizing a lot of land from Mithin Ambani.
Which was quickly bought by Ethan Grey at a dirt cheap price. Ethan spent close to 2 trillion dollars in a time span of three days that Ambani needed to stabilize his company , to gain deep roots in country X .
The hungry wolf Ethan Grey was back in the hunt , as he bit a big piece off the Ambani corporation. Ambani in a desperate situation to keep his company assets intact had to sell close to 13% of his shares.
Of which 11% were bought by Ethan Grey for about 1 trillion dollars through various trusts and charities. He gained a seat on the board of directors for Ambani corporation alongside Naomi and Neatwit.
The three of them now controlled 31% of the company , while Ambani had 47% , his other son having 6 , while his daughter and wife together having another 6. And about 10% shares were held by outside investors and common people.
Should Ethan get control of the 10% shares floating in the market. And then somehow get his son to his side. He would gain control over the company . Mithun Ambani diluting himself below 51% equity would turn out to be his doom!
All this Ethan managed without taking out a single penny from the existing Grey international cycle. Only through the winning amount of 3.2 trillion dollars of the bet , did he achieved everything.
Rudra had brought him a wave of goodluck. Apart from incredible money and good marketting. He also brought Naomi and Neatwit . Rudra was monumental in his advances over the Ambani empire and Ethan acknowledged that.
Meeting Rudra was his biggest fortune. Except for his reincarnation. Ethan had no complains with Rudra , the man delivered on his word and was not greedy. He was a genuine fellow who could be trusted , undoubtedly smart and scheming. Yet had a gentle and innocent side to him shown to those he considered close.
At first Rudra was just an employee , then he became a partner. But recently even the ice cold Ethan Grey melted , as he felt warm towards the guy , genuinely considering him to be a brother.
Then there was the man of the hour , Jhonny English , the mercenary of the century and his two team members who successfully completed his impossible mission.
Wanted by the world they were currently given shelter in the upside. While Jhonny planned to permanently stay at the place , Skyla and Bo only wanted to lay low for a while .
Naturally all three were given the best of the best villa's and treatment inside upside , where not even a fly could harm them.
The upside was Ethan Grey's greatest creation. Undoubtedly his decision to make the place and have all of his company's best talents gathered here was a brilliant move.
While giving them a great quality of life , he also made them feel at home and indebted to the company. Their natural sense of returning to the place they belong tripled his profits yearly and it was a voluntary service at that.
The sense of security was the second biggest reason. No one could touch them in the upside , no one could approach them to poach and there was no chance of spying or defecting. It was a masterstroke on his part.
He spent an evening with the trio to show his gratitude and to be aquainted with Jhonny English when he found out that all three of them played Omega. He asked if they wanted to join one of his two guilds jokingly , however seeing Jhonny showing intention of joining True Elites , he instantly contacted Rudra.
Rudra was given a background about the three and especially a lengthy one about English , Rudra was genuinely shocked as he not only immediately agreed to recruit all three of them. He even instantly promised to make English an Elder.
Rudra drooled at the thought of having such an godly individual join his guild , as he hoped of making Jhonny the guild elder who could train and guide the younger generation and to his joy Jhonny agreed.
However , The real reason behind Jhonny choosing to join the Elites was that he just found it convenient , now that he was retired and living in the upside , the guild with the massive headquarters there would give him activity to do. Also since the guild was soo small it would mean he would have great influence in it. Yet never be overwhelmed with people.
Skyla and Bo following English also decided to join the Elites. But the biggest surprise came when English chose to bring his friend along with him to the guild.
His friend was a monk from the Himalayas , a fellow disciple with whom he trained . The first disciple of the sect he learned in and his senior brother.
Rudra immediately recognised the player with Jhonny , as he was one of the most legendary players in his past life.
The ultimate support player , the player who even without any actual combat skills would be the most valued player in any guild he would walk into....
His name was Yume. But he was well known as The monk across the game for his way of dressing and his attitude.
He was a special player in the game who was bound to a special semi legendary grade item called the ' Collector of Yin and Yang ' . The object gave him the ability to debuff the enemies by stealing Stamina , HP, mana , and agility from the enemy and buff the allies on the same stats. It had a 2Km effect range and was a one of a kind object in the game.
The only downside of having the object was that it made you loose all combat ability , You could only have one combat skill if you chose to bound with the item.
The monk had chosen to bind with it , only having hand to hand combat as a chosen offensive skill. Even then his collector of yin and yang , made him the most sought after member in any party and the ultimate support player.
Rudra could not beleive his luck when that guy joined his guild. If only he would have the same object and skill in this life too , he would be an invaluable addition to the guild.
Hence it was on this day that 4 new players joined the True Elites guild. All of them first rate experts. The guilds strength had increased by a lot!
