One Pebble


    The ending of the third level silenced themotion for some time. Although the ''Optimal Crown'' got what it wanted still they were not happy. The main problem was the team and each member of the team.


    Even the most fool member was better than the top yers of otherpanies. A yer was not taken as best yer with his skills, unique weapons and the agility in the tasks. The best yers were decided after seeing their mental ability to defeat unpredictable circumstances among the levels. It was about the capability of an individual.


    Only capable individuals could make perfect team. All the guilds under the order of the ''Optimal Crown'' were taking benefits but not giving good oue in return.


    Since themencement of the portal game none of the guild leader used their brain in making choice for the team. That''s why the CEO of thepany took this responsibility to ignore the guild leader. In fact he fired many of them who tried to intervene. He was burning with hatred because he lost his assets for the sake of fools.


    Now he was ready to personally handle and decide how to select capable yers. For this he sent clear voice message to the other friends those belong to the other gamepanies.


    They were eager to know how Kyle would select capable yers. Kyle thought to personally conduct some experiment and test the experienced yers. He asked several confusing questions at the end. After long discussion he selected the present two teams.


    If his method worked than he would select other teams with same method. In his eyes if his yers stayed in two three levels this would be enough to damage the third team. The first and foremost priority remained same.


    The preparations for the fourth level werepleted. Kyle personally met yers and guided them.


    He took permission for special levels for the rest of teams for the same reason. This would help himunch his selected yers for all teams in order to categorize them ording to numbers for selection.


    The office and the rted staff was busy. They informed yers to remain out of contact from irrelevant people. The purpose was to prepare them mentally and train their focus.


    "After the fifth level, third team would take rest and the other teams will go through from six to level ten. However my n is to give damage to the third team in the fourth and fifth level. This would reduce their reputation and the ranking would face some p." Kyle spoke gritting his teeth.


    "I will guide my team to look for this option during quests. I must look for the indirect ways in order to not receive damage in return. The yers are enthusiastic. They would not repeat the mistakes of others." The team head answered.


    The clever selection was visible.


    "You will be responsible toplete maximum quests. The main issue is that none of our teamspleted single quest until now. It is embarrassment and someone should wipe it away. The damage to the third team is secondary. Remember it will be the first damage when the team broke the unbeatable title. You should not neglect the least options. I want you to remain alive till the end of level." Kyle exined his focus point.


    The previous six teams died because their focus was the third team instead of quests.


    "It means my team should not leave quest when confronting third team. I understood now. Our sess could also damage them equally." The team leader nodded.


    Kyle eased up on his seat. "Now you got my point. The previous foolish yers focused on third team and let the audience make fun of them. They died without doing anything. If it was under my means I would have scolded them to death however they left thepany on their own." Kyle rested his arm on the side.


    He could not believe how many times hispany becameughingstock in the previous month.


    It was all due to his slow understanding toward the portal game.


    Other CEO''s handed him the responsibility to masterfully select strong an capable yers. Before this portal he never did type of low selections however it was demand of the time. Any longer dy couldpletely destroy his ''Optimal Crown'' empire.


    The team leader went back to guide his team members ording to the suggestions of the boss. It was his responsibility to follow the rules of the boss. The team leader did not want to disappoint his boss, also he was here to make name in the portal game.


    In the office, Kyle took deep breath. His assistant could see his boss doing small jobs in order to get back what he lost. He was also trying his best to not annoy him. He was very careful about giving his suggestion.


    The long day ended am he was thinking whether boss was ready the day end. Kyle kept looking at the files ring the dropped figures. He had been in the business from two decades. Never in the entire twenty years he faced this level of losses.


    It was rming for the stability of thepany. The drop in the share prices woke him up and now he was doing everything soberly.


    The purpose of meeting with the developer was to see how much he should expect from the third team. Now that he was sure, he did not want to neglect.


    He closed the file, he knew further ncing at the files might give him heartache.


    Perhaps he was ready to leave the office when he looked at the assistant.


    "In my opinion killing one Pebble could lit the chances for the demise of third team." The personal assistant spoke.


    Kyle sighed. He was thinking this possiblity in the previous three levels. It was not option any more. Further fooling of the actions could make themughingstock again. He stood andughed.


    "My friend, there is not one Pebble."
