“Tch, damn…”

Max Wheeler set down his tablet, grinning at WindyPeak’s wild success with Peak Nation’s charity flex.

Calling it “marketing” felt a bit dirty for such a good deed, but as a savvy beverage mogul, Max knew the PR goldmine this had unearthed for WindyPeak.

He didn’t vibe much with gaming companies—his only tie to WindyPeak was Plants vs. Zombies on his phone. But when WindyPeak dove into the “extreme sports blue ocean,” they weren’t just devs anymore.

They were a powerhouse. A bold, big-hearted powerhouse.

“We gotta lock this down,” Max said, eyes gleaming. “If we don’t, someone else will snatch it up quick.”

Matt, sitting across, blinked, confused. Max’s rapid-fire enthusiasm was a lot for his basic Mandarin skills—a linguistic rollercoaster like slipping on a wet street but catching yourself last second.

“Huh?” Matt muttered.

“It’s a figure of speech,” Max chuckled, switching to English. “Dropping $101M on a niche extreme sports game? That’s not just guts—it’s legendary. Their promo game is straight-up textbook: copyright blitz, hype machine, fanbase on fire. This ain’t just gaming—any industry would kill for this clout.”

Max wasn’t hyping for clout. Most companies couldn’t dream of this. You’d need a visionary like Ethan “Zane” Holt with 20 years of global connections and a boss like Zoey Parker who’d burn cash blindfolded, doubling down on $100M bets.

Zane-types were rare. Zoey? One in a billion.

Why pitch small-fry when you could team up with titans? WindyPeak’s Peak Nation—with its $10.7M Golden Cat Charity Fund and global buzz—had turned extreme sports into a cultural juggernaut. Now was the time to link up.

“And if that’s not enough,” Max added, sliding the tablet to Matt, “check this.”

Matt glanced and froze.

A headline screamed: Live Up to Your Dreams, Charge Forward, and Sing a New Anthem for Rising Global Brands!

On the culture section’s sixth page, a black-and-white photo showed two young faces—Gus Harper and Zoey Parker—flanked by a blazing “WindyPeak” logo.

“Hi, I’m Lily Carter,” said the reporter across from Gus and Zoey, rocking a beige suit, all sharp and warm.

“Hey, hey!” Gus and Zoey stood, shaking hands quick.

No joke—an Apex Entertainment reporter, trekking to Seattle for them! Sure, Lily said it wasn’t exclusive, just one of four young entrepreneur interviews, but still. This was big.

They’d hit digital mags before, but this? Print. Real-deal newspapers hitting government desks, homes, newsstands worldwide.

Zoey had Gus ditch his quirky event suit for a crisp casual blazer. She went cream-white suit, hair down, looking sharp yet chill.

“Thrilled to chat with two rising stars,” Lily smiled. “What sparked your dive into gaming?”

My dad’s arm-twisting… Zoey thought, clearing her throat, a bit sheepish.

Gus jumped in. “Passion. Growing up in the digital age, we’re wired for tech. With somatosensory cabins reshaping entertainment, we saw a wave to ride. The breeze of innovation and raw love for games birthed WindyPeak.”

He shrugged, grinning. “Sorry, Lily, first time at this rodeo. Not great at speeches, bear with me.”

Zoey shot him a look, eyes sparkling—Dude, you’re killing it! Gus, WindyPeak’s slickest talker, just dropped “breeze of innovation” like it was nothing.

Lily raised an eyebrow. Not good at speaking? Most interviewees needed scripts to sound half this polished. Gus was spitting ready-to-print gold.

“We know WindyPeak’s big on charity,” Lily said. “With over $100M in donations, what drives your commitment?”

“Giving back,” Gus said without missing a beat. “From a tiny startup to a mid-sized player in three years, we owe our fans. Putting social good first, owning our role—that’s WindyPeak’s core. It’s what new-era companies do.”

Zoey nearly fell out of her chair. Bro, too smooth! Gus could ace a TED Talk or a civil service exam with that vibe—red-hot and righteous.

If he wasn’t running WindyPeak, he’d be a keynote king. Witty at game fests, poised in serious interviews—Gus was built for this.

Zoey exhaled. Without him, she’d be flopping this interview solo, probably still churning out “digital trash” instead of making headlines.

“And to wrap up,” Lily said, “any final thoughts?”

Zoey stifled a laugh. She’d coasted through, mute, letting Gus carry. Lily probably thought the same—wish every interviewee was this sharp. No edits needed, just trim for length.

Both women eyed Gus.

He paused, then smiled. “Dream big, live bold, charge forward. WindyPeak’s sticking to ‘no retreat, endless passion, pioneer spirit,’ pushing gaming culture global and letting our brand shine worldwide. Thanks, Lily, for the chance.”

Exclusive interview!

Matt, an Austrian beverage exec with a factory in Thailand, might seem far from this orbit. But as a global brand-builder, he knew the weight of Apex Entertainment’s spotlight.

WindyPeak, thrice-featured, now crowned a “rising global brand” in print? That’s a halo no startup could buy.

Matt wasn’t dumb. Even if he were, he’d clock the value here. Comments under the article sealed it—

“Yo, they’re in print!”
“Zoey’s made it!”
“First gaming company to hit this level?”
“Next stop, front page? (smirk)”
“Chill, that’s for world news…”
“Lmao, don’t jinx it!”
“Wasn’t Walter Parker in the top four pages?”
“Yeah, and two other tycoons at some summit…”
“So if Gus reps someday, he’s speaking there?”
“Bold take, bro…”

Matt grinned. Brutal.

Gus Harper and Zoey Parker, 21, founded WindyPeak. By 24, net assets over $1B, $1.4B in monthly sales, and an Apex Entertainment feature.

Not a miracle—a legend.

Like Max said, if they didn’t move fast to partner with WindyPeak, rivals would beat them to it.

“No way,” Matt said, decisive. “Book flights, Max. We’re hitting Seattle to meet them.”
