Chapter 174
The wind high above Harmonfield’s balcony carried the soft scent of vapor gardens. The lights of the Hanging City glowed beneath the Parker family like constellations caught in the clouds.Jack rested both hands on the balcony rail, eyes fixed on the slow curve of the horizon. Jackson stood beside him, camera hanging loose at his side, for once not clicking away. Matilda leaned her head against his arm, and Sarah watched them with the quiet patience of someone who had seen this moment building for years.“You said it started with a question,” Jackson prompted, breaking the silence. “How do you build a city where there’s no land. So… how’d you actually do it?”Jack smiled faintly. “One risk at a time. But you should know—vision is the map, and IQ is the compass. Without both, you’re just wandering.”Jackson tilted his head. “So, you’re saying you… IQ’d a city into existence?”Sarah rolled her eyes with a smile. “That’s not what your dad said.”Jack chuckled. “No. I studied everything—s

The next morning, the Caribbean dawn cast a warm, gold-blue light through the domes of Azura Bay. Jack stood on the observation deck, his gaze fixed beyond the glass where the ocean stretched into an endless sapphire haze.Sarah approached, wrapping a shawl over her shoulders. “You’re thinking about home,” she said softly.Jack smiled faintly. “I’m thinking about the other home. The one hanging in the clouds.”Jackson joined them, his camera already clicking away. “Hanging city time?”“Soon,” Jack replied. “But not just Harmonfield. We’ll visit them all—Reidsville, Richmond, Carlisle… and then Dragon Home.”Matilda’s head popped from behind Sarah’s side. “Can DragonBot still talk to us from here?”“As long as he’s online,” Jack chuckled. “And I’m sure he’ll have plenty to say when we arrive.”By midday, the Dragonfly—Jack’s personal aerial craft—was skimming over the Atlantic. Its carbon-glass canopy caught every reflection of the sky as the powerful anti-grav thrusters lifted them sm

The picnic beneath the Hawaii dome extended well into the night. The golden-pink bioluminescence had dimmed into a soft blue shimmer, casting dreamlike shadows across the underwater city. When dawn returned, Jack Parker was already awake, watching schools of glowing fish swirl above the dome like stardust.Jackson stirred next, camera still hanging from his shoulder as if he’d fallen asleep mid-documentary.“Ready?” Jack asked softly.Jackson yawned and nodded. “We’re going to the Caribbean today, right?”Jack smiled. “Yes. And more.”By midmorning, the DragonBullet had taken to the sea again, cutting through currents like a whisper. The underwater city in the Caribbean—codenamed Azura Bay—was a vibrant, pulsating ecosystem of life, color, and deep-rooted heritage.The moment they arrived, a wave of steel drums and bright banners welcomed the Parker family. Jack, Sarah, Jackson, Matilda, and Emily stepped out onto the concourse where tropical flowers bloomed in gravity-free petals, an

The flicker of the ancient glyph still glowed softly in the corner of the whiteboard, unnoticed by anyone but the stars above. Morning came fast, and with it, a fire in Jack Parker’s mind.He stood outside the estate’s control wing with a digital map glowing before him, oceans shimmering in 3D. Emily stood beside him, arms folded, hair tied back, dressed in her usual sleek, navy uniform.“The underwater cities,” Jack said. “It’s time the world sees them.”Emily arched a brow. “Polynesian sector first?”Jack nodded. “Then Asia Pacific, East Asia, the Caribbean, and we’ll wrap back in Harmonfield. All cities operational, all functional. It’s time for exposure.”“DragonBullet ready?” she asked.“Always.”Just then, Jackson burst into the room with Matilda close behind.“You’re not going without us,” he announced, planting his feet like a stubborn tree.Jack raised a brow. “This isn’t a vacation, son.”“It should be,” Jackson shot back. “I’m your heir, remember? I need to see what I’ll in

Dawn had barely broken over the skyline of Harmonfield when Jack Parker, flanked by Sarah and the children, stepped into the gates of Dragon University.The massive chrome gates parted with an audible hum, etched with glowing sigils and the crest of a dragon coiled around a globe. Students, faculty, and press were already waiting, a sea of anticipation flooding the grand plaza beneath the towering spires of the main campus.As soon as Jack appeared, a wave of cheers broke across the crowd.“The Dragon!”“Welcome, Founder!”Matilda grinned, clinging to Sarah’s hand. Jackson walked beside his father, chest puffed with pride.“Feels weird seeing my face on banners,” Jack murmured.Sarah nudged him. “You built this place. They have every reason to be proud of you.”Emily approached from the front steps, clipboard in hand, a familiar fire in her stride. “We’re all set, Jack. The auditorium’s filled to capacity. Overflow students are watching from the West Dome through holograms.”He nodded

Dawn stretched across Harmonfield in golden ribbons, the sun cresting over the shimmering skyline as if nature itself had decided to honor the return of a savior.Jack Parker stood on the balcony of the estate, arms folded, the weight of the world momentarily lifted from his shoulders. Jackson and Matilda were safe. Sarah was smiling again. And the people of Harmonfield had begun calling him what he’d never asked for—but somehow become: The Dragon.Sarah stepped outside, slipping her arms around his waist. “Happy birthday,” she whispered.He blinked.“I forgot,” he admitted softly. “July twentieth.”She smiled up at him. “The whole city didn’t.”By midday, Eastvale Hotel had transformed into a spectacle.Crimson banners bearing the Dragon insignia flew from rooftops. Floating holographic screens replayed highlights of Jack’s most iconic battles—his confrontation at the Hanging City, the siege of AquaDragon Bay, and now, the Redmond rescue.The atrium was a sea of silver and blue.
