Chapter 106: Wil at Scarlet HQ
"College freshman? He's that young?" asked Elyssa in a whisper.
"He's only our age. They said, he also looks very handsome," replied Thea.
"Two of you, shut up and be silent," scolded Emily with a glare.
As everyone gathered at the entrance hall, CEO Jordon spoke loud and clear, "listen very well. It's the first time Young master visiting the company. I don't want any disturbances, understand?"
Upon hearing his order, everyone simply nodded silently.
A few minutes later, a series of seven vehicles stopped before the entrance. While the media who were around was curious about it, a few guards chased them out as the vehicles crossed the gate.
Unlike what everyone expected, Wil just stepped out of the car in his casual clothes with goggles to cover his red eyes as he cried for a while.
Looking at the grand welcome, with everyone greeting with a bow, he was first taken aback and then asked in a hoarse voice, "what's this, Mr. Jordon?"
This 6ft 10 inch monster in a human skin politely replied, "This is your first time here. So"
Wil interrupted him, "prepare a meeting place. There's something I need to inform. Tell all the directors to come."
Without meeting the rest of them, as Wil and Jordon went together while the directors followed them, Elyssa whispered to Thea, "Looks like all Young masters are indeed arrogant"
Meanwhile, Thea squealed, "he's such a handsome hunk, isn't he?"
Elyssa just stared at Thea for a while in silence.
After a while;
"What"
Every one of the directors stood up in shock. The most affected was Jordon, who used to be a personal bodyguard for Philip until 20 years ago.
"How? Is Is it an an assa assassination by Antolov family?" Jordon asked with a shaking voice.
It was only after Wil explained the situation, most of them calmed down a bit. But, the atmosphere in the room completely changed.
As if that wasn't shocking and depressing enough, Wil further said, "Soon, the Vulture group will be dissolved. So, you should expect new Elites and a couple of directors.
You will be getting an official notice about dad's death and dissolution of Vulture after the funeral is over but just in case, I'm informing you directly so that you mentally prepare yourselves.
The second thing is Dad wanted me to take over the company but I don't have any intention to manage the company. So, Mr. Jordon, you will continue to be CEO. I'll just be in the background as a Chairman when the time comes.
Oh, by the way, how's the progress of the pro gamer trainees?"
While the rest of the directors who were stupefied because of continuous shocking news, just stared at him in silence, one of them replied, "One week more and they are ready to go."
Wil then asked, "Do you have an Archery training room here?"
As Jordon still stayed silent, Maria Clarke, one of the directors replied, "there is one on the 56th floor."
Wil nodded, "good. Take me there. I want to practice Archery for some time to clear my head. Meanwhile, bring an S-grade capsule from Summersoft, right now and install it somewhere there is no disturbance.
The most stable one can show me around while the rest can stay here and process everything I've said just now."
As Maria and Wil reached the 56th floor, they saw three people were in the middle of training.
Gu Fang, one of the best elite archers in the company was giving advanced lessons to the three gamers who have talent in Archery and selected to be an Archer.
Upon realizing that Wil and Maria are there, he quickly stopped and greeted them with a bow, "Greetings Young master, Director Clarke." The three trainees also followed him and greeted them with a bow.
Looking at him, a smile appeared on Maria as she introduced him, "Young master, he's Gu Fang. The best archer in our company."
Gu Fang then asked, "Are you practicing Archery, Young master? I apologize. We'll leave right away."
Wil waved his hand, "it's fine. I'll just practice over there in the corner. As long as you are not loud, you can continue with your lessons."
After saying what he wanted to, Wil just picked up a bow and glanced at the target 35 meters away before shooting an arrow within a fraction of a second backed by a huge force.
Upon hearing the sound, the four of them flinched for a second and turned towards Wil while Maria looked at him in pity as she can understand the reason Wil was practicing Archery at this unsual time but at the same time, she was also confused of why Wil is here at HQ and not with his dad.
As Wil continued to shoot arrows, the bad things that he thought about his father, the little precious memories he had about his father, the image of his dad's dead body came to his mind one after another and his speed and power increased with each arrow.
While the three trainees no longer concentrated on training and watched him in awe from a distance, meanwhile, the target 10 is filled with a dozen arrow all of which are pierced more than 1cm of length by the following arrows that are spread on the floor while a few are just stuck after piercing more than 5 cm.
Wil's face and hands continued to become redder as time passed while there's nothing but the sound of arrows that are making even Elites like Maria and Gu Fang's hearts explode much less the trainees.
*Ting*
Suddenly, as Wil pulled a little bit too hard, the string snapped and his fingers started to bleed
"Young Master"
Maria hurriedly went towards Wil and asked, "wait a second" Then, she turned her head and bellowed, "What are you watching for. Quickly bring the first aid"
One of the trainees, Xia Fu hurriedly went to the shelves placed at one of the corners of the room and took out a first aid box before hurrying towards Maria and handed it to her.
Wil left the bow and sat on the floor while Maria carefully cleaning the blood on his fingers and applying ointment to lessen the pain. "Young master, you should be strong"
As she was about to console him, Wil interrupted her, "can you leave me alone for a while"
"But, Young master"
"Just needs some rest to calm down" replied Wil as he just lies on the floor and closed his eyes.
Maria stood up and took them outside.
Glancing at Wil for one more time before exiting the room, Xia Fu asked Gu Fang, "Master, is he ok?"
Maria sighed and replied, "Someone close to him died a few hours ago. Just leave him alone for now."
Meanwhile, as streaks of tears once again flow from his eyes, Wil punched the floor repeatedly in frustration, "I accepted the truth long ago. I didn't even shed a drop of tear last time. Yet, why Damn"
An hour later, Wil once again stood and grabbed another bow with his injured hand, instead. Maria, who was monitoring him, hurriedly ran to the training room to warn him but saw he was completely calm now as he was shooting the arrows with the left hand with less power. Even though not all of them hit perfectly, they were still in between 8-10 range.
