Led by Nightingale, the tour began.
Nightingale first took them to the War Room, a state-of-the-art strategy hub lined with holographic displays capable of projecting entire battlefields in real ti.
A massive conference table stood at the center, designed for deep tactical discussions and ga analysis.
Before eting Noah and his crew, Noah barely knew anything about the inside of a pro club. But after their eting the last ti, he spoke privately with Noah to know all the requirents for a state-of-the-art professional club.
Having captained Cyber Squad for over 10 years, living in the club building, and having visited the buildings of almost all the big pro clubs in England, Noah knew the ins and out of pro club building like the back of his hand.
Nightingale did his best to et all the requirents that Noah listed.
After the War Room, Nightingale led them to the training grounds, an entire floor dedicated to practice, featuring high-end gaming stations, customizable VR battle simulations, and even a reaction training facility designed to sharpen reflexes.
Each player had a personalized pod, adjusted to their optimal settings.
The more they toured, the more shocked they beca. ’Jeez...!’
Everything was moving so fast. This was even far better and more state of the art than Cyber Squad’s club building!
At so point, Benjamin had to ask.
He gulped. "Umm..., boss Night, how much did you spend on this?" He pointed round. "You know, all of this".
Nightingale smiled politely. "Let’s forget about that".
’Forget about that my foot! I feel like I’m in paradise!’
Benjamin managed to tone down his racing thoughts, and so, they continued the unforgettable tour.
After the training grounds, Nightingale led them to the Stream Arena, a professional-grade streaming studio, complete with high-end microphones, lighting setups, and multiple recording rooms.
A separate area was dedicated for live events, where Club Echelon players could stream matches in front of a live audience.
And then the Lounge and Recreation Floor. It is a big relaxation space, including a gaming arcade, a private cinema, a bar and café, and even a rooftop lounge with a stunning view of the London skyline.
Benjamin almost fainted out of luxury. "Soone, pinch , tell I’m not dreaming!"
Aria did pinch him though, growling in his ear. "Maintain your composure bastard, don’t act like a country bumpkin!"
"But..."
She pinched him harder. "Shut up!"
In the end, Benjamin managed to calm down.
After the Lounge and Recreation Floor, Nightingale finally took them to the Living Quarters where every Echelon player had a luxury apartnt within the building, fully furnished with modern interiors and smart ho automaton.
At this point, they were already numb from astonishnt.
Close to the end of the tour, as Nightingale led them through, the team couldn’t hide their reactions.
Benjamin whistled. "I could live here forever".
Caleb adjusted his glasses. "This level of investnt..., Nightingale," he looked at him. "You weren’t kidding about making Echelon a powerhouse".
Nightingale smiled bashfully. "I’ve been a big fan of you guys since I first learned of Warstar. I always wanted to be involved in so capacity, I never expected Cyber Squad forcing your retirent eventually providing with the opportunity that I always dreamt of".
"So yes, to it’s a dream co true too".
"Wow, said like a..."
Thud!
"Ouch...! Aria!" Benjamin glared at her.
Aria glared back at him, before staring at Nightingale with a polite smile. "Please continue".
Nightingale coughed. "Umm, ok".
As they continued, Genevieve smiled. "It actually feels like a real club now".
Aria crossed her arms. "I hate to say this, but... I’m impressed".
"You see!" Benjamin quickly chipped in, only to be cut off...
"Shut up!"
He glared at Aria grievingly.
Nightingale clapped his hands. "Now that you’ve seen the place, let’s talk business. We’ve got a club to run, and championships to win".
With their new headquarters established, Club Echelon was officially ready to take over the world.
Before continuing though, Nightingale looked around. "Umm, I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but where is God Noah?"
Silence.
The 4 friends looked at each other, then, "Umm, ahh, ehm..."
Nightingale chuckled. "I guess sothing held him up this ti too, right?"
"Yeah, sothing held him". Aria quickly said with a chuckle.
Nightingale looked away. "I know there are things that you guys are hiding from . I don’t know why, but I respect your decision".
"You guys have not told , but sothing is wrong with God Noah, right?" He looked at them.
"This..."
"It’s fine if you guys are not comfortable about telling . I’ll give you guys ti, as much ti as you need to build trust".
"When you guys feel like it’s the right ti, you can tell ".
"If it’s sothing I can help, I won’t hesitate".
Aria looked at Nightingale with a serious face. "We will," she said. "When the ti is right".
"Ok". Nightingale said, suddenly in a bubbly mood again.
"One last thing before Club Echelon becos official," Nightingale smiled. "Registering with the Pro Alliance".
"This...," Aria was worried but Nightingale waved a hand dismissively.
"There are few things in the world that money can’t solve". He smirked. "Don’t worry, my friends are already working on it".
A few minutes later, Nightingale got a call.
After taking the phone call, he looked at the others and smiled. "It’s official, Club Echelon is now part of the Pro Alliance!"
"YEAH!!!" They cheered, jubilating excitedly.
"This has to be celebrated with a champagne!" Benjamin yelled.
Nightingale obliged, bringing a champagne that they opened to commorate the occasion. His only dissatisfaction was the fact that God Noah could not be in this historic occasion.
He didn’t pay too much attention to it though.
’When the ti is right, they’ll tell ’.
After the big event that evening in London, Nightingale registered them in the building’s smart system to enable them access into the building anyti.
Whenever they wanted, they could relocate and start staying here.
That night, since they all brought their Warstar account cards with them, they logged in right there in the building.
They decided to spend the night there.
