The Rise Of The Consortium

After finished cleaning the mixer, Rio took a break from her work. She was sitting on a chair in the counter in the coffee shop looking lazily outside, it was still the early time of the morning. A few moments ago, people were rustling in the shop, ordering various drinks and food. Even if people still slept at that time, some others were on their way to start their day.

She switched on the intercom to see the news feed, and her eyes fell on the first headline that read, 'A hate crash on the news company'. As she tapped on it, her eyes went wide as she came across the name Meilae. It was her friend. Was she okay? After careful reading, she came to know that the only news van of the new news company was hit by an unknown person at midnight. And Meilae who happened to be the CEO of the company claimed that the crash was directed by the associates of the current chairman. She took a deep breath. When did Meilae become a CEO? And why the chairman would order to do something like that? She would have to talk to her to get to know the real reason.

She scrolled down to look at some other posts. There were headlines about the gathering at the silver swirl. She tapped on it and saw the image of the glowing ring structure in the sky, surrounded by people. She quickly scanned through the article to check whether there was anything about her and Kner. he was glad not to find any such mentions. She rested her head on her hands to rewind the whole event in her mind. She was glad she was able to get her mother quickly out of there. She didn't believe she survived such a thing which was described as dangerous. Was it deadly or was it exaggerated out of fear of such a giant figure of it? She checked through the article to see what was the truth. The same thing was written in the article. It was indeed dangerous. Normal people who got in its contact get illusions, behave oddly or get into a comatose state. Whoever was present at that place has a different case.

There wasn't much information about it, so she suddenly searched about the silver swirl on the local search engine. There was a lot of information, so she decided to read them later. Suddenly she started shivers as the image of swirl were visible in most of the articles. She saved her mother last night, what was there to be afraid of? Before she could look at anything else, a beep made her alert. There was incoming of more customers, she must be ready to deliver the orders. She closed the intercom and got off from her seat to focus on her work.
