[True Elites Headquarters, The Upside]
*Cara Shutters*
*Flashes*
"It fills with profound sorrow to convene this press briefing. Today, we at True Elites grapple with a crisis of unparalleled scale.
Joe Jones, a key figure in squad 16 and a recognized mber of our guild, has been implicated in collusion with the Agents of Olympus, suspected of playing a pivotal role in the abduction of his team leader, the rising star Riva Yadav.
On the day of the incident, Joe, tasked with Riva's security, was the initial responder to the explosion at her apartnt and is suspected of wiping away any useful evidence that could have been collected, torpedoing the reconnaissance efforts.
Currently, Joe has vanished from his ho and was last observed entering the tower solo.
Our intelligence points to his presence on floor 21, a known stronghold of the Olympians, further casting doubt on his allegiance in Riva's disappearance.
This incident marks the first instance of a human, a fellow mber of our society, committing such a stark betrayal against our community, and it pains to acknowledge the ergence of such a traitor from within our ranks.
Going forward, one of the guilds foremost priority shall be to apprehend Joe and make him stand trial for his cris, right here on Earth and to aid this purpose, we the Elites issue a massive bounty of One Million Tower Gold for his capture alive and a hundred thousand if dead.
Despite this adversity, we the True Elites remain unwavering in our commitnt to secure Riva's safe return, whatever the cost so may the Gemini Gods extend their blessings and give us strength, an" declared Karna in a global press statent with his words causing a far reaching ripple effect.
For an Earth climber, a devotee of Gemini, to forsake their gods for Olympus and collude with extraterrestrials to kidnap an Earthling represents an egregious violation.
Historically, Earth's climbers had been known for their steadfast devotion to their guardian deities and fellow humans. By forsaking both, Joe had now not only beco a renegade of faith but also the planet's foremost adversary.
