Lizzie’s eyes narrowed as she leaned forward, the weight of everything they had just discussed pressing down on her. “So, where exactly is it, Calvin?” she asked, her voice low but urgent. “Where is the Fountain of Health?”Calvin looked at his sister, his expression somber yet determined. “It’s here,” he said simply. “In this city.”Lizzie’s mouth fell open, shock and confusion etched across her features. “What?” she whispered, almost as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “You’re telling me that the Fountain of Health is here, in this city? How do you know?”Calvin took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving hers. “Think about it, Liz. Why did Mother bring us here in the first place? I can sense it now, after the dream!” He paused, letting his words sink in. “She knew something, Liz. She was hiding us, protecting us. And now, looking back, it all makes sense.”Lizzie shook her head slowly, trying to process everything. “But... I still don’t understand. How can you be sure t

Calvin stepped out of his room, each step feeling strange yet filled with determination. Even though it had only been three days, it felt like a lifetime since he had last felt the hard, cold floor beneath his feet. The real world seemed almost alien now, different from the dream world that had ensnared him. The surroundings seemed sharper and more vivid, as if every detail was heightened after everything he had been through.He took a deep breath as he reached the door, bracing himself before opening it. The air outside felt fresher, almost as if each molecule was infused with new life. He knew there were many problems waiting for him now, issues that couldn’t be solved simply by sleeping or relying on the system. The people of Han Xin were after him, and not without reason. As the only one who might know the location of the Fountain of Health, Calvin realized he was the key to something much bigger.In his dream, when he had almost been pulled into the fountain, he had felt an immen

The night sky hung heavy with clouds, concealing the moon and casting the city in shadows. The dim streetlights flickered sporadically, adding an eerie ambiance to the quiet neighborhood. Calvin took a deep breath as he stood by the back entrance of the safe house, feeling the cool air on his skin. He glanced around, making sure everyone was in position.“All set?” he whispered into the small earpiece hidden beneath his hair.“Ready when you are,” came the low, calm voice of one of his bodyguards. “We’ll leave in pairs, like we discussed.”“Good. Stick to the plan, and stay alert. We can’t afford any mistakes tonight,” Calvin replied, his voice steady despite the tension thrumming through his veins.He watched as the bodyguards began to move, each duo leaving the house in a staggered pattern, blending seamlessly into the sparse crowd that occupied the dimly lit streets. They wore ordinary clothes, jackets pulled tight against the chill, their faces obscured by caps and hoods. They loo

Calvin moved swiftly through the winding streets, his steps echoing against the quiet buildings. His heart pounded in his chest as he navigated the labyrinthine alleys, eyes scanning every shadow for signs of movement. It all felt too easy. He hadn’t encountered anyone suspicious, no one following him or lurking in the darkness. This was not how things usually went. The Han Xin agents were relentless, and they didn’t let their prey go so easily.Arriving at the rendezvous point, Calvin spotted the sleek black car waiting in the shadows, its engine softly purring. He took a deep breath, trying to shake off the unease gnawing at his gut. With one last glance over his shoulder, he opened the car door and slid inside, the soft interior lights briefly illuminating his tense expression before fading again.Lizzie was already seated in the back, her face a mixture of relief and concern as she looked at him. “You made it,” she said softly, her eyes scanning his face for any sign of trouble. “

Calvin stepped out of the car as they arrived at the safe house, a nondescript building hidden on the outskirts of the city. The air was still, too still, as though the night itself was holding its breath. Calvin scanned the surroundings, his senses on high alert. Everything seemed quiet, almost unnervingly so. He motioned for the others to follow, and they entered the safe house one by one, moving silently like shadows.Inside, the air was thick with tension. Lizzie stayed close to Calvin, her eyes darting around the room, clearly sharing his unease. The bodyguards took their positions by the windows and doors, securing the perimeter while remaining as discreet as possible.Calvin gathered everyone in the main room, standing in the center as he faced his sister and the guards. His brow was furrowed, his mind still wrestling with the strange calm that had followed them the entire way here.“This doesn’t feel right,” Calvin said, his voice low but firm. “I don’t know what’s going on, b
