Chapter 259: Pre-Exhibition Games Meeting: Armaz Gaming Company! (1/2)
The next day, Pedro invited everyone to his VIP room at the hospital to discuss the upcoming Exhibition Games. In his room, Sabrina, his mom, his dad, and Aldo were preparing for the first meeting of members of his guild.
Pedro's Mom and Sabrina were taking care of the food and drinks, while Aldo and his father were preparing the holographic display to be used later in the discussion. As for Pedro, he was chilling on his hospital bed—that was bent upwards for him to lean his back comfortably.
”I can't believe that my hospital room became a meeting hall!” Pedro mocked with a smile.
His father scratched the back of his head and said, ”We have no choice, young man! Your doctor said that you could only leave the hospital after two days! Besides… It is you who's in a rush to conduct this meeting. Not me, Not your mother, nor your Aunt.”
”It can't be helped, Pa!” Pedro said whilst forcing out a smile. Then, he was casually tapping on the tablet in his hand, while saying, ”It's such a big event that I can't ignore. Not only does the future of the two organizations are on the line… But probably the future of the gaming sector of the whole country!”
At this moment, Weyron and his mother, Pedro's Aunt Veronica, entered the room. They were able to hear Pedro's words, that is why Weyron interjected in the conversation, saying, ”Do you mean the prize that the Champion would receive? The rights to select where the next location of the next major tournament would be held? Don't worry cousin Peds, our guild will make sure to win the game! We already had a few tactics in mind.”
Pedro simply shook his head and said, ”Who told you that you'd make it past the Inter-Server Playoffs Stage?”
At this moment, Pedro's Aunt Veronica interjected and said, ”Both of you should stop being cocky amongst each other! The two organizations might not reach that stage if the leaders are both too arrogant. Remember that it's still a tournament and anything could happen.”
Weyron simply laughed in response and said, ”All we need to do is survive in the elimination round—where we might face other players on other servers. But on the Inter-Server Playoffs… Either of the two organizations would surely take the Server Champion! After all… Every single player on our server is under our control and monitoring. So, there's almost a hundred percent that they won't be able to defeat us.”
Pedro simply nodded in response and said, ”It all depends on how strong the players from the other server are. The Elimination Stage is one of the fastest yet most dangerous stages because there is a huge possibility to be eliminated without being able to fight back. Well, it's not like our players were pushovers!”
At this moment, Weyron approached Pedro's Father and took his hand, and placed it to his forehead to show his respect, while saying, ”Mano po!”
Mr. Jon Armaz simply smiled in response and said, ”May God Bless you, young man!”
”Thanks, uncle!” Weyron said respectfully in response.
This made Pedro smirk and say, ”Wey, you do know how to act kind in front of my father! Hahahaha!”
Weyron smiled in response and said, ”Cousin Peds! I am naturally kind; you know? It's just you who's shameless. Hahaha.”
Pedro was about to answer back when someone knocked on the door before it opened. Then, a man peeked inside and asked, ”Sorry for the intrusion but is this the room for Mr. Pedro Armaz?”
At this moment, a girl beside him that has blonde hair, and beautiful blue eyes pushed him inside while whispering, ”Older brother! That's Mr. Jon Armaz! The President of the Armaz Energy Corporation and Guild Leader's father! I am sure that we're in the right room!”
”Aish… Still... We should be respectful and ask just in case! This is still a hospital we don't want to inconvenience anyone that much!” The man scolded at a weak voice that made the girl 'Hmph!' in response. Then, he glanced towards everyone inside the room whilst forcing out a smile before saying, ”Excuse us… Is this the room of Mr. Pedro Armaz? The Nurse told us to find this room, so…”
”Uhm… I think you are referring to the next room.” Weyron said with a smile.
”Oh! Is that so?” The man said as he scratched the back of his head, seemingly embarrassed by everyone else. Then, he closed the door while saying, ”Sorry for the trouble!”
Right after the door closed, Weyron burst into laughter that made everyone else shook their head in response. Pedro could only place his palm into his forehead—seemingly troubled, while saying, ”What have you done, Wey?”
”Hahahaha! It's not my fault that they believed my joke! Hahahaha!” Weyron was barely able to said as he continued to laugh to the point that his eyes were even starting to cry.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door before it went open and three men wearing a college uniform appeared outside the room and said, ”Excuse us, is this the room of Mr. Pedro Armaz?”
This time, before Weyron could make fun of the three men, Pedro shouted, saying, ”Yes! Please come in!”
At this moment, the man—who seemed like he was in his late 20s, and the girl has just closed the door of the other room that was empty. At the same time, they were able to hear Pedro's shout and Weyron's laughter—making them tap one of the three men's back while asking, ”Excuse me, brother… Is this the room of Mr. Pedro Armaz?”
The man with hair that's almost covering his eyes, nodded in response and said, ”It seems like it? Perhaps the two of you are also invited for the meeting regarding the exhibition games?”
