Chapter 513
Suddenly, the golden glow of the sun was pierced by sharp, echoing cracks—the unmistakable sound of gunfire. The cheers froze mid-air as citizens screamed, ducked, and scattered. Sparks flew off metal platforms as stray bullets ricocheted against railings and hover-vehicles. A young engineer shrieked, clutching a tablet, while children ran toward their parents in terror. “Everyone, get down!” Jack shouted instinctively, grabbing Sarah’s hand. Matilda and Jackson followed immediately, while DragonBot pivoted, sensors flashing red and deploying a low-energy force shield to protect the family. Jack’s heart pounded—not out of fear, but recognition. He heard it—the same sardonic, cruel laugh that had haunted his most dangerous memories. A voice boomed over a massive speaker system mounted on one of the upper terraces, cutting through the chaos: “Jack Parker…” the voice sneered, dripping with amusement, “have you forgotten who really owns this county?” Jack froze, his eyes narrowing.
Chapter 512
The applause continued to ripple through the terraces, yet Jack stayed rooted, letting the energy wash over him while his eyes scanned the crowd. Faces of awe, hope, and curiosity looked back at him—engineers with hands still smudged with lubricant, children clutching model rockets, families waving from the terraces. He lifted his voice, projecting it over the wind-swept platforms. “Reidsville, I want to share with you not just stories of survival, but visions of the future. The journey to Mars was a test of endurance, but it was also a lesson. A lesson that when we combine courage with intelligence, when we merge imagination with determination, the impossible becomes inevitable.” Sarah’s hand found his again, fingers intertwining as she offered silent support. Matilda and Jackson stood close, their expressions a mix of pride and admiration. DragonBot hovered a few steps behind, sensors recording the emotional response of every segment of the crowd. Jack continued, gesturing towa

The cheers in Carlisle still reverberated in Jack’s mind as the Dragon Pod lifted once more, carrying the Parker family and DragonBot toward their next destination: Reidsville County. Unlike Carlisle, Reidsville sprawled across a series of terraced platforms, suspended above winding rivers and verdant hills below. Its architecture blended urban innovation with natural beauty, allowing citizens to move seamlessly between their homes and the city’s floating marketplaces. The air was tinged with the scent of river mist and freshly cultivated greenery—a stark contrast to the industrial gleam of Carlisle. Jack leaned forward, gripping the edge of his seat as the city came into view. “Every city has its own story,” he murmured, eyes sweeping over the cascading terraces and bridges. “Redmond, Richmond, Carlisle… and now Reidsville. And every story deserves to know that our journey to Mars wasn’t just an adventure—it was proof of what humanity can achieve when we refuse to stop striving.
Chapter 510
The cheers of Richmond still lingered in Jack’s ears as the Dragon Pod lifted off once more, carrying him, Sarah, Jackson, Matilda, and DragonBot toward their next destination: the Hanging City of Carlisle. Unlike Richmond, Carlisle’s platforms spiraled like intricate coils over the industrial canyons below, a visual testament to the city’s ingenuity and the precision of its engineers. Jack leaned back in his seat, watching the sun glint off the layered structures below. “Every city is different,” he murmured. “Redmond, Richmond… now Carlisle. Each one has its own rhythm, its own heartbeat. And each deserves to understand that what we’ve achieved on Mars isn’t just about survival—it’s about what’s possible when we refuse to stop dreaming.” Sarah reached over, squeezing his hand gently. “They’re going to love you here too,” she said softly. “Carlisle is built on innovation. They’ll understand your vision immediately.” Jackson bounced in his seat again, unable to contain himself. “
Chapter 509
The cheers of Redmond still echoed in Jack’s ears, but there was no time to linger. The next stop awaited—the Hanging City of Richmond, perched high above Harmonfield’s industrial sector, a city known for its resilience, creativity, and unshakable pride. The family boarded the Dragon Pod again, DragonBot scanning the route and monitoring energy levels for an optimal journey. Jackson bounced in his seat, practically vibrating with excitement. “I can’t believe we’re doing this again! Two cities, one day! It’s insane!” Matilda laughed, holding onto the rail as the pod ascended. “Insane… but amazing. Look at Richmond from here—their floating platforms are massive.” Jack’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he gazed down. “Richmond has always been strategic. Its people have faced adversity, much like Redmond, and they’ve survived because they’ve never stopped believing in themselves. Today, we honor that spirit.” DragonBot’s sensors flickered. “Observation: Richmond’s populace currently en
Chapter 508
Jack’s words lingered in the air, warm and steady, like the hum of the Dragon Home itself. For a moment, no one spoke. The family simply sat there, soaking in the quiet satisfaction that followed a shared meal and shared laughter. Then Jackson broke the silence, bouncing slightly in his chair. “So… are we actually going out today? Because you said something about the Hanging City earlier, and I’ve been waiting since breakfast.” Sarah smiled, already knowing where this was going. “You never forget plans that involve crowds and attention, do you?” Jack chuckled as he stood. “He’s right, though. We promised the people of Redmond we’d come by once we were back from Mars. They’ve been waiting.” Matilda’s eyes lit up. “The Hanging City at Redmond? The one with the sky bridges and floating platforms?” “The very one,” Jack replied. “They watched our launch. They watched our return. For them, this wasn’t just a mission—it was hope.” DragonBot’s sensors adjusted instantly. “Observation: p
