2025-04-28 23:32:52The Wilson Group headquarters transformed into a glittering palace of New Year's celebration. Crystal chandeliers cascaded from impossibly high ceilings, reflecting off marble floors like a thousand tiny stars. Wealthy guests in designer suits and sparkling gowns mingled, their conversations a soft murmur of success and privilege.
Jack Parker stood out immediately. His attire was simple—dark jeans, a well-worn leather jacket, and boots that had clearly traveled far. While others wore thousand-dollar outfits, Jack looked like he'd just stepped off a long journey. Yet there was something about him that made the doorman hesitate before stepping aside. Wealth isn't always about clothes, Jack thought, sometimes it's in how you carry yourself. The buffet stretched like a culinary landscape. Silver trays laden with exotic delicacies beckoned. Jack approached with the hunger of someone who'd spent hours on a plane. He filled a plate with precision—smoked salmon, caviar, miniature quiches, and what looked like some kind of truffle-infused something. Two glasses of champagne completed his selection. Old Joe always said to eat well when opportunity presents itself, he mused, taking a generous bite. Around him, whispers began to rise like a gathering storm. "Who is that?" a woman in a red dress muttered to her companion. "Look at him. Dressed like that. At our party." "Freeloader," another voice said loud enough to be heard. Jack continued eating, seemingly oblivious. His casual demeanor only fueled their mockery. Robert Wilson, the head butler, approached with a look of pure disdain. "Excuse me," he said, his voice dripping with condescension, "may I see your invitation?" Jack looked up, champagne glass in hand. "I'm not here on an invitation," he replied calmly. "I'm here for Emily. I'm her fiancé." A moment of silence. Then laughter. Not just a chuckle, but a full-bodied roar of derision that echoed through the grand hall. "Her fiancé?" Robert sneered. "Emily Wilson is the CEO of the most powerful corporation in Draconia. Do you really expect anyone to believe she'd be engaged to... someone like you?" Jack's eyes, previously warm and casual, suddenly turned cold. "Take me to Emily," he said simply. More laughter. Robert's face reddened with anger. "Security!" he shouted, "Remove this man!" When Robert lunged forward, his fist aimed at Jack's face, something extraordinary happened. Jack didn't move. Didn't dodge. Simply... blocked. His hand intercepted Robert's punch with such casual efficiency that the butler stumbled backward, shock replacing his anger. "You're weak," Jack observed, not even slightly out of breath. Security guards converged, electronic stun sticks humming with potential violence. But before they could strike, a blur of motion swept through them. In less than three seconds, all six guards lay unconscious on the marble floor. No one saw how it happened. Jack looked amused. "Is that the best protection money can buy?" he asked the stunned crowd. Gasps and whispers multiplied. Who was this man? How had he neutralized trained security so effortlessly? More guards rushed in, filling the doorways. The tension became electric, ready to spark into violence. Then a voice cut through the chaos. Calm. Powerful. Commanding. "Enough." The crowd parted like water. Heads turned. And there, descending the grand staircase with the grace of a queen, stood Emily Wilson. CEO. Heiress. The most powerful woman in Draconia. Her emerald green dress seemed to shimmer with each step. Dark hair pulled back in a perfect twist. Eyes that could—and had—made powerful men tremble. She stopped three steps from the bottom, surveying the scene. Her gaze locked onto Jack. "Well," Emily said, "it seems we have quite the welcome party." Jack met her eyes. No fear. No apology. Just a calm, direct gaze that seemed to challenge everything and everyone in the room. So this is my fiancée, he thought. The New Year's party had just become something far more interesting than anyone could have anticipated.

The cheers and holographic displays of the Hanging City gradually faded behind them as Jack Parker, Sarah, Matilda, Jackson, and Lena Brooks climbed into their transport. The streets shimmered beneath the late afternoon sun, reflecting the city’s energy and the excitement that had followed them from Dragon University. Even as the vehicle hummed along the suspended thoroughfares, the family remained enveloped in the sense of accomplishment and awe that had defined the day.After winding through the city’s elevated avenues, the transport finally approached the Parker family’s residence—the Dragon Home—perched atop the tallest terrace in the Hanging City. Its sleek architecture blended modern elegance with functional security: glass panels reinforced with adaptive alloys, balconies extending outward like wings, and soft luminescent lines tracing the edges of the structure.

The echoes of celebration at Dragon University still reverberated in their minds as Jack Parker and his family—Sarah, Matilda, Jackson, and Lena Brooks—made their way through Harmonfield’s bustling streets.

Citizens had gathered along the elevated walkways, bridges, and terraces of the Hanging City, craning their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the family whose courage had reached Mars and returned.The Hanging City was a marvel in its own right: a network of terraced buildings suspended above the main city streets, connected by sweeping pedestrian bridges and elevated transport lines. Its glass panels reflected the late afternoon sun, casting a shimmering mosaic of light across the crowds below. From the walkways, citizens waved, cheered, and projected holographic banners hailing the DragonBearer and his family. Even the digital billboards along the city’s central towers

As the applause for Chancellor Jaden Raymond subsided, a renewed energy coursed through the auditorium. The students were still buzzing, murmuring excitedly among themselves, their eyes flicking between the Parker family and Lena Brooks. The holographic dragons and Mars rovers hovered overhead like loyal companions, frozen in midair, waiting for the next chapter of inspiration to unfold.From the sides of the stage, figures began to step forward—Dragon University’s respected lecturers and course leaders. Each carried an aura of intellect, authority, and curiosity honed over decades of research and teaching. They approached the podium one by one, shaking hands with Jack, Sarah, Matilda, Jackson, and Lena, each offering words of recognition, congratulations, and personal reflections on the Mars mission.Dr. Elara Chen, head of the planetary sciences department, stepped forward first. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she extended her hand to Lena. “Lena, your work on environment

The applause for Lena slowly faded, though the room remained electrified, buzzing with admiration and inspiration. The students’ eyes were still bright, their energy palpable, and the holographic dragons, satellites, and Mars rovers hovered above them as if frozen in time.From the side of the auditorium, a figure moved deliberately forward—tall, composed, and radiating authority. Chancellor Jaden Raymond, Dragon University’s esteemed leader, adjusted his jacket, cleared his throat, and stepped up to the podium. The crowd shifted, immediately attentive, acknowledging his presence with polite but eager murmurs.Jack Parker, Sarah, Matilda, Jackson, and Lena all rose slightly, turning their attention to the chancellor. He offered a warm, genuine smile and extended a hand toward Jack first.“Jack Parker,” Jaden began, his voice carrying across the hall with a steady, resonant authority, “it is an honor to have you here today—not only as a pioneer, an entrepreneur, and a visionary—but a

The standing ovation for Matilda gradually softened, leaving the auditorium buzzing with excitement and admiration. Even as the echoes of applause faded, the energy remained palpable, a charged anticipation that lingered in every corner of the room.From the cluster of students near the front, Lena Brooks rose quietly but decisively. Unlike Matilda’s poised intensity or Jackson’s earnest charm, Lena carried a grounded confidence, tempered by years of dedication and a deep curiosity that had always set her apart. Her path had been unconventional—once caught between the shadows of her family legacy and her own ambitions—but space had leveled everything. Here, she was no one’s heir, no one’s rival—just a scientist, an explorer, and a member of the Mars mission team.She moved forward deliberately, her steps measured against the polished floor, the soft clicks of her shoes cutting through the residual hum of applause. Students watched closely, leaning slightly forward as Lena approached
