Chapter 210 - Edge Rothschild
Chapter 210 - Edge Rothschild
By the year 2050 , the Rothschild were the richest family in the world eclipsing the 100 trillion dollar mark. After that they were no longer in the public eye , 50 years had passed and the total networth of the family was a mystery.
However with over 100 male heirs in the family , the overall wealth was fairly equally distributed , and to standout one needed to gain merit on their own strength for the family to invest more into them.
However each Rothschild member still remained to be educated in the same manner that the ancestors were. Trained in traditional sword art as well as worldclass secret martial art techniques collected over years of stockpiling by the family. The male members had genuine fighting experience..
The Rothschild family was even tutored maths in the old school way of using a piece of paper and pen while using mental maths as a calculating device and not graphic calculators. Even if it was considered an outdated practice and a futile thing by the world , the Rothschild believed it to train the brain muscles hence emphasized on it.
The result was a batch of high IQ male heirs who were buisness prodigies as well as formidable fighters. However none as prominent as Edge Rothschild , the black sheep of the family , an orphan whose both parents died in a car crash. A hungry wolf who clawed his way up the family ladder using only his wits and brute strength.
He was given nothing , every Rothschild member was entitled to one trillion dollars the day they turned 15 , however his uncle only gave him five billion , withelding the other money .
When he complained about it , none of the elders paid him any heed. The boy learnt it early that he was entitled to nothing and everything had to be snatched away .
Dabbling in minor businesses here and there , Edge slowly built up his wealth. However when he saw the potential in the Omega market , he immediately decided to go all in with his money in this project.
He had spent 10 billion dollars of his own money to start the Eternal rebels guild. The name suggesting his own life story , it was a first rate guild , but his ambition was as big as making it above a super guild.
While playing the game Edge quickly realized that his swordsmanship and skills were far superior to the skills in the game , he needed no flashy moves , his understanding about the sword placed him in a league of his own.
Originally he never wanted to compete for the supremacy of Purplehaze city , however when the True Elites toppled the alliance in the miracle of the century war. His hunger grew.
Many?members of the disbanded alliance got recruited by his guild and he experienced a good strength increase. Coupled with the fact that doing the maths he realized that taking on the True Elites was not as hard of a task as it seemed.
He decided to fight for the territory. He was angered to know that two other first rate guilds had the same idea , however he was confident in his skills to pull this one through.
Arrogant , domineering but with a sound mind and excellent sword skills can be used to describe Edge Rothschild , called the ultimate opportunist , he was a true wolf.
And an Elite by blood!
Now that he had a 100,000 point lead , he was 80% sure of his victory. Through great intuition and observation he took about 10 minutes to discern that there was more to?the token than just the points , it served as a beast attractor , as a lot of beasts that were previously moving towards the inner city now rushed towards the 5th sector.
Thinking quick on his feet he recalled 100,000 guild members from various sectors to bring them back in the fight in sector 5.
With the beasts attracted by the token , there were perpetually endless beasts in sector five , while having soo many members would make it that much more difficult for other guilds to take the token from him. Inside the sector.
Setting up a tight formation around himself?in the centre of a eightway massive wide crossroad , he deployed 10 thousand troops to block each entrance way , while having 10 thousand troops as reserve and lots of archers firing volleys from range.
Edge created an impregnable defense formation , that constantly farmed merit points. It seemed as if the only thing they had to do now was to?keep going as they were , and they would definitely win the event.
Widening the gap with other guilds , the final merit score at the end of day one (24 hours ) , halfway into the event was ....
Merit board rankings :
1) Eternal rebels : 222600 + (100,000)points
2) True Elites : 199000 points
3) Frozen thorns : 192300 points
4) Twisting serpants : 171004 points
5 ) Eternal darkness : 92594 points
6 ) Elementals : 77150 points

420) never say never : ELIMINATED !
The guild had widened the gap with another 130 thousand merit points ahead of number two , and if they managed to go at this rate for another 12 hours or so , he was sure that noone could catch upto them at that rate.
Since that was the case , he decided to disrupt the opposition , he gave instructions to 40 thousand members , 20 thousand to disrupt the workings of the True Elites guild and 20 thousand to disrupt the workings of Frozern thorns guild .
