MMORPG: Rebirth as a Chapter 99

BONUS Chapter 5/6

In Suri and Nikolai’s house.

Suri and Nikolai were having dinner at their table while the latter couldn’t stop talking about his adventure with Ren and the others.

“This Boss is like a huge pinball of blazing magma, and it was so fast that no one could follow its movent! . . . Except , of course. You should have seen , sister! I saved everyone from the Boss and its minions!”

Suri chuckled. “Don’t talk while your mouth is full. Eat your food first.”

Nikolai didn’t hear anything as he continued, “I have saved so many of sister Silvia’s group that I beca a hero, and they even rewarded

with the [Fiery Cape]. And also, this Mister is so cool! He is so aweso and amazing and . . .”

Nikolai couldn’t organize his thoughts from the sheer excitent, and he spouted whatever ca to mind.

However, Suri wasn’t listening. Her mind was hung up at Robert’s betrayal, and Silvia would surely call her . . . . right about now.

RiiinNgG!

And right on cue, Silvia’s na appeared on her phone, and she imdiately excused herself and went into the living room.

“Silvia–”

“Suri, the hell did you recomnd that asshole Robert to us knowing that bastard’s character?! Are you trying to sabotage our guild, huh?! Are you jealous because you won’t enter COVENANT?”

Suri released a sigh, and she let Silvia rant on and on, so the latter could free all her pent-up frustration.

When the coast was clear, Suri took a deep breath and said her side. “I’m sorry. Okay?” she cooed.

“I didn’t know that Robert would do that. I was pressed with few options at that ti, and Robert happened to reach out to

when I posted that you needed a tank. Who would thought that Trixie would get together with him just to get to you?”

“I know. But you didn’t tell

about his asshole character. A heads up should have been nice.”

“Honestly, I don’t know Robert that much except that he’s always on Scar’s tail.”

“Oh yeah, that ex of yours is also in the sa raid with us. Can you believe it?” Silvia chuckled. “Have you heard the news how we defeated Black Lion, with him even leading his group?”

“Yes.” Suri knew about it, which was why she was in a good mood. “It’s all over the forums.”

“Aha! So you are still checking the ga. I know it. You still wanted to play, don’t you?”

Suri released an audible sigh. “Silvia, even if I want to, I can’t. The company is being taken over in a hostile manner that I don’t even have ti to sleep.”

“. . .” Silvia was quiet before she said in a solemn voice, “I’m sorry I can’t do anything. The best I could do was begged my father not to join in taking over your company.”

“It’s fine.” Suri sadly smiled. “It’s already a miracle that Mr. Rutherford back down. That father of yours is a doting father but a ruthless businessman.”

Their company mainly dealt with hotels, The Richers Hotel. They have nurous hotels across the zones, and Suri was supposed to be an heiress of this chain of hotels until Nikolai was right of age.

However, due to the sudden death of their parents, the other shareholders took it as an opportunity to take over, wanting to sell the chain of hotels to the highest bidder.

Suri was doing everything she could not to let that happen, even though she was losing the battle. Their company was constructing nurous hotels all over the world and acquired billions of loans in the bank. With her parents’ death, those constructions halted while their stock value plumted.

And now faced with a huge debt, and a down curved stock price, the board wanted an easy way out by selling the hotels to either Mr. Rutherford, Silvia’s Father, or Mr. Axis.

Thanks to Silvia, Mr. Rutherford back down while Mr. Axis wasn’t interested.

Suri could breathe easy knowing that there were no bidders. At least she could still think of a way to convince the board not to sell the hotels while finishing the other hotel constructions.

It was not like the hotel was doing badly. They still generated a good amount of inco. It was only those old bones who wanted to make more profit out of it.

If only their stock didn’t continue to plumt, and maybe she wouldn’t have a hard ti now.

Suri needed a backer. Maybe a partnership with another hotel? To make all investors at ease and invest again.

First things first, she had got to stop the plumting of their stocks, and everything would follow from there.

“Hello? Suri? Still there?”

“Y-yeah . . . what are we talking about?”

“I said . . . why not just give up and sell the hotels?” Silvia said bluntly. “The sum you would get is more than enough for you and Nikolai to live in comfort for the rest of your life. Plus, you wouldn’t be faced with so many problems left and right. Though you have to mind your spending . . . No more Gucci bags for you. But it’ll work out.

“And without worrying about anything, you can now enter the ga and earn there. Don’t worry. I’ll pay you a hefty monthly salary if you join our guild. And if ever you find yourself without a ho, I have plenty of houses you can chose from,” Silvia joked, but Suri wasn’t laughing.

She knew Silvia ant no harm, but Suri couldn’t laugh at her joke.

If Suri could get away, she would. Who wanted to be stressed out day in and day out that she couldn’t even properly eat, thinking all day about the hotels.

More often than not, she also wanted to give up and just set herself free.

However, The Richers Hotel was the only thing left of their parents. It’s their legacy, and Suri couldn’t just let that go without a fight.

Silvia wouldn’t know since she was born filthy rich.

The Richers Hotels were just average hotels that catered mostly for the middle class and couldn’t contend with the big guns of the Hotel industry.

If the Rutherford’s lost a hotel company, it wasn’t a big deal. They have other businesses that could make up for that loss.

However, The Richers Hotel was all she had left of her parents.

“I can’t give that up, and you know that,” said Suri with a sad smile on her face.

“I know. I’m just joking,” replied Silvia when she sensed the fluctuation in Suri’s tone.

“Anyway, I have to et up with the girls in my penthouse and have a bath party there to celebrate us getting firstblood. Wanna’ join us?”

“I’ll have to take a rain check. I have enough of Nikolai spouting all about your raid since the mont he went down the stairs from his room. I’m not going there and hear the sa thing all over again.”

Silvia laughed. “Suit yourself. Bye.”

Suri ended the call and took a deep breath.

She then took a peek at the falling stocks of their hotel on her phone and covered her mouth with a hand to swallow her cries.

She felt so lost and alone, and she badly missed her parents. She really wanted to give up. She really did.

But she couldn’t.

Nikolai’s image appeared in Suri’s head, and she took another deep breath to calm herself.

Wiping off the tears in her eyes, she put a bright smile on her face and went to Nikolai.
