Chapter 131: The First Arrival
“Wait…” Anna said, squinting toward the parking area. “Isn’t that— ”Avery followed her gaze. The golden reflection wasn’t fading, it was the real deal. The sunlight hit the car at just the right angle, making the whole thing shimmer like a huge block of gold.“…That’s Rose’s car,” Avery said slowly.Anna blinked once. Then twice.“…No way.” She turned fully now, staring at the car like it had personally insulted her. “No, no, no,” she muttered, shaking her head. “That’s not possible. I literally almost died getting here!”Avery folded her arms. She was calm, but she was definitely surprised. “Looks like she beat us, Anna.”Anna put both hands on her head, as if she were in a movie. “I pushed that driver to the LIMIT! We drifted on a cliff! A cliff, Avery!” She paused, her eyes suddenly narrowing. “Wait. Where’s Robert?”Avery frowned. “What do you mean?”Anna looked at the giant building, then back at the gold car. “If Rose is already here,” she said slowly, “then Robert could be ins
Chapter 132: The Measure of Arrival
Anna leaned forward, her eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.“Alright then,” she said, pointing a finger at everyone. “Who actually got here first?”The room went quiet for a second. Robert looked at each of them, then he slowly shook his head.“No,” he said calmly. “I don't think I want to say it just like that.”Anna blinked, looking confused. “…Wait, what?”“There’s no need to rush,” Robert continued. “Everything doesn't have to be answered right this second.”Anna flopped back into her chair. “You’re doing that 'wise man' thing again, aren’t you?”A tiny smile appeared on Robert’s lips. “Tell me something,” he said, changing the subject. “Do you know why I chose The Crown as the place for us to meet?”Avery shook her head, and Rose stayed quiet, just watching. Anna crossed her arms. “Because it looks cool?”Robert turned around. “Follow me.”They started walking through the long, fancy halls together. The deeper they went into the building, the less it felt like a hou
Chapter 133: The Weight of Power
For a long moment, the hallway was completely silent. Nobody knew what to say. Then, Anna broke the quiet by clapping her hands together with a loud smack.“Okay! First of all— congratulations, Professor!” she shouted, pointing a finger at Darby.Rose walked over with a warm smile. “You really earned it.”Avery was still clinging to her father’s arm, looking like the happiest person in the entire building. “I knew you’d win something,” she whispered softly.Darby reached up and adjusted his glasses, but he couldn't hide the faint smile on his face anymore. “…It seems like I had some good luck today.”Anna shook her head. “Nah, it wasn't luck. I think you were focused the whole time. Me and Avery? We were out there just having a blast.”“Speak for yourself,” Rose joked.Avery laughed, and for a few seconds, everything felt normal. It didn't feel like they were in a giant high tech fortress, it just felt like friends hanging out.Robert stood back and watched them for a bit. Then, he sp
Chapter 134: The One Who Stayed
The super fancy room slowly came back to life after everyone stopped bowing. People sat back down in their big, comfortable chairs and the low murmur of conversation started up again. The piano player went back to playing a soft, relaxing tune.Even though everything looked normal again, the whole vibe of the room had shifted. The air felt heavy with the realization that Robert was basically the king of this place.Anna leaned in super close to Avery, trying to keep her voice down. “…I am not used to that at all. Like, zero percent used to it.”Avery nodded her head slowly, looking a little overwhelmed herself. “Me neither, Anna... me neither.”Rose didn’t say a single word. She just sat back, her eyes locked onto Robert, watching him with a thoughtful expression.A waiter led them away from the main crowd and over to a private section of the club. This wasn't just a regular table in a corner, it was its own separate little world. It had clear glass walls that allowed them to look dow
Chapter 135: Leaving the Dream
The world didn't just snap back to normal. Instead, it felt like reality itself was taking a second to shift and catch up.One second, there was only pitch black darkness and a weird flickering light. The very next second, they were standing on polished marble floors under soft golden lights. They were back in the quiet, controlled air of the massive Graham Palace.Anna stumbled forward a little bit as her feet hit the solid floor. She shook her head to clear it. “…Nah,” she muttered, looking around the giant room. “That teleporting thing is definitely not normal. My brain is still spinning.”Avery blinked a few times, letting her eyes adjust to the bright room. She slowly looked up at the tall ceilings, the long hallways, and the silent staff members already standing in their perfect positions. It looked like they hadn't moved an inch since the group left.“…We’re really back,” Avery whispered.Behind them, Rose stepped out of the rippling puddle on the floor. She did it so smoothly
Chapter 136: Back to Reality
The helicopter didn’t rush at all. It just glided through the dark sky. It was smooth, quiet, and felt like nothing in the world could touch it. Inside, the soft, warm lights made everything feel super calm, almost like time itself had slowed down for them.Anna was stretched out across her big leather seat, talking non stop like she usually does.“…and that roller coaster? No way— who even BUILDS something like that?!” she said, laughing and waving her hands around. “And the way the ground just moves like water?? I’m telling you, that place has to be illegal.”She sat up suddenly, her eyes going wide. “And the food? Don’t even get me started— bro, I ate something that I don’t even know the name of, but I would literally fight someone for it.”Avery just laughed softly at her friend's energy. Anna kept going, not slowing down for a second.“I swear, every five minutes it was something brand new. Like I couldn't even get used to one cool thing before another crazy thing showed up… but
Chapter 137: New Rules
The city was alive, but it wasn't the same kind of alive as the Oasis. This was much louder, messier, and felt incredibly filled with people.Night had already taken full control over Miami. Neon signs flickered on top of tall buildings, cars rushed past in endless glowing streams, and police sirens echoed somewhere far off in the distance.The black convoy moved through all of it like it didn't even belong to this world— silent, dark, and completely untouchable.Inside Robert's car, nobody was talking anymore. The fun, relaxed mood from the flight was totally gone, replaced by a heavy tension that made it hard to breathe.Avery was still holding her phone in a death grip, her knuckles turning white. “…Robert…” she said quietly, her voice trembling just a bit.Everyone in the car was staring directly at her now, waiting to hear what was wrong.“If you want to see him alive again… bring us Robert.”The kidnapper's words still seemed to hang in the air inside the quiet car. They sounded
Chapter 138: Authority Without a Name
The convoy came to a slow, controlled stop. The night air in the city felt totally different than the Oasis. It was heavy and loud in a quiet way.The lights of the Bertha Graham Memorial Hotel stood tall above them, glowing like a massive monument to extreme wealth and power. The heavy doors clicked open, and Robert stepped out first. He was calm and composed, looking like the entire night belonged to him. Avery, Anna, and Rose followed right behind him.They hadn’t even taken five steps before a voice shattered the quiet.“STOP RIGHT THERE!”The shout was sharp and immediate. A group of heavily armed guards stepped forward, looking incredibly alert and serious. They lowered their weapons slightly, but not enough for anyone in the group to feel safe.“State your identity and your purpose for visiting,” the head guard said coldly. “We have new security protocols in place as of tonight. No one enters without proper clearance.”Anna froze in her tracks. “…Wait— what on earth?”Rose’s br
Chapter 139: Acceleration
The massive penthouse room was perfectly quiet. It wasn’t the kind of quiet that felt peaceful, it was the kind of heavy, controlled silence that settled in when big decisions were being made. Robert stepped into his bedroom and closed the heavy door behind him, shutting out the rest of the world.He didn’t hesitate for a second, and there wasn't a single wasted movement in his body. He walked straight over to the edge of the bed, pulled his phone out of his pocket, and typed out one short, direct message.Find out who was behind the hit on Professor Darby. I want a full report.He hit send. The name attached to the message was Aaron, his top investigator. Robert didn’t even bother waiting for a reply. He dropped the phone onto the nightstand like it had already done its job. He loosened his collar slightly to breathe easier and lay back on the bed, closing his eyes. Within seconds, he was asleep in total silence.Morning came fast. Bright, soft sunlight slipped through the heavy cu
Chapter 140: Engines of Power
The elevator doors slid open in their typical fashion— slow, silent, and perfect.As the group stepped out into the garage, nobody spoke at first. For a long, heavy second, it didn't even feel like they were standing in a real building anymore.The space was massive, wide, incredibly clean, and perfectly lit by soft overhead spotlights. But it wasn't just the room that stole their breath, it was what was parked inside it. This wasn’t just a rich guy's collection of cars. This was a statement of ultimate authority.The room was filled with matte black paint and sharp gold designs. Every single vehicle looked like it belonged to the same world— a world where money didn’t matter anymore and only power did.Anna took a hesitant step forward, shaking her head slowly. “…Nah,” she muttered. “This is just stupid at this point. My brain can't even process this.”To the left, a roadster sat incredibly low to the ground and looked aggressively fast. It had an open roof, and the black body seemed
