Raising the Stakes

A few days later, inside Apex Media's newly expanded esports division...

Dozens of nervous eyes shifted away from the glowing monitors, settling on the young billionaire standing at the back of the room. 

Inside the newly renovated digital sports wing of Apex Media, a corporate standoff was brewing.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to accept this incredibly hostile exhibition match rested on Jude Lawson's shoulders. 

Right as the silence stretched to its breaking point, a familiar chime echoed in Jude's mind. 

[Objective: Eradicate the Vanguard faction's arrogance in the digital arena. Demonstrate the superiority of Lawson Capital.]

[Requirement: Secure first place in the upcoming cross-studio exhibition match.]

[Reward upon completion: +2 Liquid Capital Sign-Ins, 1x High-Tier Corporate Asset Cache.]

Reading the interface hovering in his vision, Jude couldn't help but let out a chilling laugh.
