2026-04-08 19:35:03On the way to the hotel, Maverick took a glance on several skycrapers he passed with the taxi. The light blue combining with the warm sunlight was the best view he intended to see, especially before the sunset.
At that moment, he realized his future was as bright as the sky. He widened his smile a bit when a past memory appeared on the surface of his mind. The memory was about his fear of getting outcast by Marshall and Louisa. He also ever thought of living as a beggar after

Answering Sophia's call
On the other place, A man in his mid fifties stared madly at his people. His sleek dark brown suit was fixed and buttoned carefully as he uttered in curt tone, "As I have predicted, you all will be failed for another time." "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Palmer. We were doomed completely by a young man, and his insane martial art skill." Roberto apologized and kept his head down. He didn't dare to look at his boss' eyes due to his stained dignity as a right hand man. Russo, standing from his chair, slammed his desk madly. The fury in his heart was heated with egos and ambition of getting his daughter back to the residence. However, his men never succeeded in doing it. It really tired him out loud since his daughter was quite intelligent to hide in many different areas, including overseas. "How embarrasing is this?! You have more than two hands and legs to fight, but you all are lost to a guy with his martial art skill! This is the real shameful thing for me!" He retorted and balled his
Veronica's back story
At that time, Maverick had aimed countless kicks to the men, and all of them were knocked down due to lack of the staminas. Eva, as Veronica's assistant, was stunned while she was helping her boss to stand on her feet. The woman in her mid twenties had never seen such kind of fighting scene which involved a man defeating many opponents. "Are you okay, Ms. Palmer? Your cheek is.." Maverick approached her and tried to ensure if she was alright, but she immediately cut his sentence. "I'm okay. It is accidental attack, and I get used to it," Veronica covered her cheek with her right hand as she assured. She hated when people realized she was harmed and looked fragile as a woman. "Seriously, it's red, Ms." Maverick doubtfully commented. He then offered, "Let me treat your wound then. Let's go!" Then, he gripped her hand gently and got onto the rented car. Since Eva offered to drive for them, M
Saving Veronica
Unfortunately, those whispers were perceived well by the well-known fashion journalist. Casually, Veronica smiled lightly and cut, "Well, I'm not yet famous, guys. I'm just an ordinary fashion journalist that loves working with some unique medias. No need to throw random admirations at me as if I were the world well-known celebrity." Maverick aimed a glance at her. Sometimes, he made sure the group tour and the tour guide were still around, so he was not left alone with his new friends. Yet, in a few seconds, he responded, "I guess you deserve some recognitions, Ms. Palmer. Actually, I feel like a real nerd for not knowing your good reputation as a fashion journalist." Along with his words, Zayn nudged at him and teased in his mutter, "Have you two exchanged numbers? She is such a hot woman to hit on." "Nope. She may notice what you have said, Zayn," Maverick responded in uneasy tone, but his voice was calmer, trying to ensure if it was not audible enough for Veronica. At tha
Meeting Coincidentally
The seconds passed, along with the minutes ticked. When LA still lingered with evening sky, Spain began a new day with the dark cloudy sky. It was around 03.10AM, and Maverick still dozed off peacefully, with a little snore slipping on his thin breath. "DRRT! DRRRT!" His phone buzzed, showing the alarm time he once set. His only motive on doing it was that he didn't miss the tour's schedules based on the guide's reminder. "Ehm, hmm," He hummed when his phone was still buzzing. Gradually, he opened his eyes and turned it off. Once he rubbed his eyes, his consciousness was gathered gently. He also strectched up his upper body a little, trying to release the tension between his muscles. "Such a faster day than LA," He muttered as he got up and opened the curtains, viewing the dark sky, loyally longing with a few stars stepping between the clouds. In the next seconds, he walked across the bed, checking up t
Another envious post
The moment videos and photos of Aiden and friends were aired, Maverick had finished with the passport's checking and got his luggage in his cart. He then joined the crowd of people who were under the same package tour. There were some little families, lovers, and other people in the rows. "I know you are green with envy, Aiden. Isn't it kind of fun?" Maverick muttered in his breath. His smile widened, feeling entertained by Aiden's video on PostNow. "He is fueled by my update. Such a childish type of man!" He continued while scrolling the timeline. At the front line of the attendees' row, the tour guide announced, "Right now, we are waiting for the appointed bus. Please be patient. For further schedules about our tour, you can always look at TravTour app." Acknowledging the information, most people began to open the app to know what would they do after landing in Spain. However,
Further Comparison
When Aiden was in the midst of a small issue with the five-star hotel's rooms, the plane on which Maverick was about to land. Yet, the pilot and co-pilot were still driving and seeking the exact landing spot. "Ladies and gentlemen, since we'll land on the spot, we recommend you to keep sitting in your seats and put on your seatbelts. For those who use tables, we suggest that you close them to avoid unexpected accidents. Make sure all electronic devices are off. Thank you for your cooperation." The stewardess' voice caught every passenger's attention. Maverick, sleeping at his seat, opened his eyes gradually after the reminder was mentioned. "Have you got a dream?" Veronica queried with curiosity in her beautiful orbs. "Not really. It doesn't have enough comfort to sleep in a plane like this," Maverick responded in a raspier voice. He then closed the opened table, following the instruction given by the stewardess walking past his seat. "Agree. I don't sleep well when it is b
