"Man, this guy here is really good." Jake have his eyes glued on his PC. "Come here, take a look." He tugged on his buddy's sleeves who's facing his back at him, sipping a cup of coffee.

They're currently in their private lounge next to their playing station in COM Company. It's exclusive for their team only. The CEO of the company happens to be Jake's older brother so he pulled some strings to have their way.

Influence can be one's own strength too so other professional players in the company can't have any say in this matter. The other players share the public play station and lounge.

Wen Warren put his cup down on the table and look at the screen. "Mmm, he's good." He nodded his head. "Where did you get this video clips?"

"I found it in the chatroom, everyone's talking about this guys, he just joined the game and already in level 34. Crazy, right?" Jake leaned back on his seat and looked at his buddy. "Many challenges him into a PvP and they recorded the match. Some were even professional players and they didn't even last a minute."

"That's crazy. Maybe he had some good weapons."

Wen Warren dragged a chair and seat in front of the PC.

"Not really, he only used a bronze sword." Jake reached for Wen Warren's coffee on the top of the table to take a sip but his hand was slapped away. He rubbed his sore hand and throw an aggrieved look at Wen Warren.

Wen Warren picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Go get your own."

He watched few more clips and decided. "Why don't we recruit him?"

"That... we have to ask Xilian."

Wen Warren sighed.

"Right, where is he anyway? He had been unavailable these past few days."

"I heard that his sister had an accident." Jake turned to face Wen Warren. "It might me something serious, Xilian's absent for almost a week. He's been offline and didn't even reply to my messages."

"I see, but if we will not pull him in, others will." Wen Warren stood from his seat and put the empty cup down the table. "I'll find a way to contact him."

He picked his phone lying on the sofa and put his coat on and headed towards the exit.

"Hey! How 'bout your cup, you're just going to leave it here?" Seeing Wen Warren heading out, he quickly protested but he's too late. Wen Warren already reached the door and half of his body is already outside.

"Go wash it for me!" He wave his hand at Jake and before Jake can protest again he slammed the door close, fleeing from the crime scene.

Jake tries to catch up but when he opened the door Wen Warren is already running down the escalator. He run fast trailing behind him.

One fully clothed wearing a black coat and a pair of sneakers running down the escalator, trailing behind him is a guy wearing nothing but a white (1)sando, denim pants and he's feet are bare.

The staffs and other players in the area were not a little bit shocked with the scene, like it the most normal thing in the world.

Well, not everyday you can see a handsome man without a footwear running down the escalator. Others will be shocked shitless, if they saw this scene.

(1) Sando- sleeveless undershirt.
