After Gerald entered the banquet hall, Mr. Lance suddenly remembered something important."Gerald, go ahead first. I have something I need to take care of," Mr. Lance said.Gerald nodded. "Okay."He then walked deeper into the banquet hall and found an empty seat. Sitting down, he calmly picked up a glass of drink and quietly observed the surroundings.Meanwhile, Tina and Henry, who were still inside, caught sight of him.Tina's eyes widened immediately."What?" she said in disbelief. "That bastard actually managed to get inside?"Henry frowned as he looked at Gerald."How is that possible?" he muttered. "He must have sneaked in somehow. We need to drive him out."The two of them immediately walked toward Gerald.Tina stopped in front of him with a mocking expression. "Look at this rat," she said coldly. "You still found a way to sneak in after being chased away?"Gerald didn't even bother looking at her. He simply continued drinking.Tina's expression changed when she noticed he was

Several minutes passed.The laughter around the entrance gradually died down as more distinguished guests continued arriving. Luxury cars pulled up one after another, each more extravagant than the last. Valets hurried from vehicle to vehicle while hotel attendants respectfully opened doors and welcomed every important guest with deep bows.Then, all of a sudden, the atmosphere changed.A convoy of over a dozen identical black luxury SUVs slowly drove toward the hotel entrance in perfect formation.Every vehicle came to a synchronized stop. The engines fell silent.Dozens of bodyguards dressed in black suits immediately stepped out, their movements disciplined and precise. They quickly spread out, securing the surroundings before one of them respectfully opened the rear door of the lead vehicle.A tall, dignified middle-aged man stepped out. It was Mr. Lance.He adjusted his suit slightly before walking toward the hotel entrance, surrounded by several executives, assistants, and bod

That very night, Gerald got himself ready for the banquet.He didn't bother renting an expensive suit or trying to look like the wealthy businessmen who would be attending. He simply put on a clean black jacket, a neatly pressed shirt, and a pair of polished shoes. To him, appearances meant very little. The only reason he was attending was because of Mr. Lance's invitation.After leaving his apartment, he hailed a taxi and headed straight toward the luxurious five-star hotel where the banquet was being held.A few minutes later, the taxi stopped at the magnificent entrance.Gerald paid the driver, stepped out, and looked up at the brightly illuminated building. Luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars lined the entrance one after another as elegantly dressed guests walked inside while attendants respectfully welcomed them.Gerald quietly adjusted his jacket and let out a slow breath."Let's get this over with," he muttered before walking toward the entrance.Just as he had

Gerald had no choice.Ignoring the summons wasn't an option, especially with only nine days left before the apocalypse. The last thing he needed was to be declared uncooperative and have the authorities freeze his assets or halt the bunker project.He briefly considered hiring a lawyer before going.However, doing so immediately could make the situation appear far more serious than it actually was. After thinking it through, Gerald decided to attend first and try to talk his way out of it. If things escalated, he would bring in legal counsel.That afternoon, Gerald arrived at the National Security Intelligence Bureau headquarters.After passing through several security checkpoints, an officer escorted him down a long hallway before opening the door to an interrogation room."Please have a seat."Gerald nodded and calmly sat across from two investigators. A recorder was switched on, and one of the investigators opened a thick file containing photographs, financial records, and constru

Gerald frowned slightly. "The human race is at risk? What do you mean by that?"Mr. Lance took a deep breath before opening a folder that had been sitting on his desk. Inside were charts, weather simulations, satellite images, and pages filled with scientific data."For the past three years," he began, "NewTop has secretly funded one of the world's leading climate research teams. At first, we believed they were studying an unusual shift in global weather patterns. But as the data came in, we realized this wasn't ordinary climate change."He slid a report across the table. "Our researchers discovered an unknown atmospheric phenomenon. A massive cold front unlike anything recorded in human history is forming. It isn't moving naturally. It's spreading at an impossible speed, as though something is forcing it across the planet."Gerald silently looked at the report.Mr. Lance continued, "According to every simulation we've run, when this cold wave fully arrives, global temperatures will p

Janet leaned back in her chair, her brows knitted together as she studied Gerald's calm expression. After a long silence, she finally asked, "There's something you still haven't told me."Gerald looked up. "What is it?"She leaned forward slightly. "How did you know Raphael murdered his father before anyone else? Even before it happens"Gerald was quiet for a few moments before shaking his head. "You wouldn't understand."Janet frowned immediately. "Try me."Gerald let out a slow sigh. He contemplated her words for a long time, debating whether he should say anything at all. Finally, he gave in and nodded. "Fine."He rested both hands on the table. "I'm about to tell you something that sounds completely impossible."Janet folded her arms."I'm listening."Gerald looked directly into her eyes."In ten days, the world will end."She blinked."What?"He started telling her about the apocalypse, and how he had come from the future after his death.For the next several minutes, Gerald expla
