Michael reached Delhi in 8 hours, though he did stop at places to rest and replenish his energy he managed to reached the in 8 hours due to running at full speed. He is currently outside the city of Delhi as he panted a bit.
"Okay. I reached here as quickly as I could." Michael said to himself as he looked at the city.
He then took out his phone and looked at the map of the city and pinpointed the location of the Players HQ. After he was sure that he got the correct place he immediately ran into the city and went to the heart of the city. He came to a halt in front of the tallest building in the city of Delhi as he looked at it in awe.
"That is a very tall building." Michael said as he looked at the building.
This very same building is also the Players HQ which explains it's height as it is of importance to the Players. He looked at his watch and noted that it is almost 12 in the night. He decided to at least announce his arrival there and then spend the night in a hotel if they don't do the meeting right away.
"It really is an expensive place." Michael said as he walked inside and saw the interior of the building.
The place has great tiles, furnishing and furnitures and has high quality tech and various other things which would be quite expensive. But given the time he decided to go to the counter and get the job done before going to a hotel to rest.
"Excuse me, um, I have been called to the HQ." Michael said to one of the people at the counter.
"Oh, please state your name, state and district" The employee asked him as she looked at him.
Michael told her the needed information and some more which she then used to verify it. He was happy that his data was verified and then asked the employee about why he had been called there.
"That is something I have information about. You will have to go to the meeting held tomorrow with the other Players to know more." The employee said to him with a smile.
"I see. Then I will come back tomorrow then? What time?" Michael asked her after that.
"9:00 would be appreciated. The meeting will start after 9:15." The employee said to him with a smile.
"Okay then. Thanks." Michael said with a smile before he walked away.
He exited the HQ and went to find a good hotel for him to stay. He bought a room for the night and then immediately went to sleep.
Time skip
The next day he woke up at 7 and freshened up before changing into fresh clothes he had bought when he was on his way to the city. He then went to a restaurant and ate breakfast before he entered the HQ. He looked at his watch and saw that it is 8:40, leaving him with 20 minutes to spare.
He decided to wait around as he looked around him. He saw many other players in the floor as they also seemed to have been called there. He went to a part of the place and leaned on the wall there and waited for the meeting to start.
"Michael?" A familiar female voice called his name.
Michael opened his eyes when he heard his name being called and looked to his right. He was surprised to see none other than Gayatri walking towards him as he was wide eyed.
"Gayatri? You were also called here?" Michael asked her surprised.
"Yeah. And it looks like you were called here as well." Gayatri said as she looked at him.
"When did you get to Delhi?" Michael asked her curiously.
"I reached Delhi at 8 pm yesterday." Gayatri said to him as she stood with him.
"Almost 12 pm for me. Do you have any friends with you?" Michael asked her curiously.
"No. Most don't become my partner and even if they do I kick them out." Gayatri said to him with a frown.
"Why?" Michael asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Most of them approach me because of the fact that I'm Arun's little sister. And if that's not the case then those boys want to be my partner because they want to become my boyfriend." Gayatri said in an irritated tone.
"Did you try to give them a chance?" Michael asked her with his full attention on her.
"Of course I did. But they made their intentions all too clear. I became a Player to complete Gates while putting my life on the line. I'm not going to tolerate anyone who thinks of this as a game." Gayatri said to him seriously.
"I see. At least you know what to do." Michael said with a nod at her words.
The two went silent after that as they stood beside eachother. Michael thought about what the meeting would be like and if the Gold Players of India would be there. But then he heard Gayatri scowling as he looked at her direction in confusion.
He saw her scowling as she looked ahead of herself. He followed her gaze and found a well dressed and handsome 20 year old guy walking towards her with an air of confidence to him. He narrowed his eyes as he recognised the man walking towards her.
'Isn't he that famous Silver ranked player. What does he want with Gayatri? Unless he is just after her for either Arun or because she's a girl.' Michael thought to himself as he looked at the man.
The man walked to them confidently. He has fair skin, brown eyes, light brown hair and is quite tall. He is wearing a black suit and has an expensive watch on his left forearm and high quality shoes.
Michael could also see some of the female Players looking at him, scratch that almost all of the female Players are looking at him right now.
"Hello Gayatri, I never had a doubt that you would've made it to this point." The man said to him with a smile.
"Shut it Sidharth. I already told you that I don't want to become your partner." Gayatri said to him with a scowl.
"Aw, don't be like that. We're both pretty famous Players. You are the younger sister of Arun, and I'm a pretty powerful and famous Player as well. And we are both Silver ranked. I think we make a good duo." Sidharth said with a smile on his face.
"My answer is no." Gayatri said to him firmly.
"You really are stubborn." Sidharth said as he looked at her.
It was at that moment that Sidharth looked at Michael and their eyes met. Sidharth's eyes narrowed when he saw the boy looking at him while Michael also looked at him with narrowed eyes.
'I don't like this guy.' Michael thought to himself as he looked at him.
