Yet every instinct in Margaret’s mind screamed a warning.

It’s too quiet.

Darien’s forces should have surrounded the place by now. But the grounds were deserted, the usual chirping of insects absent, swallowed by a profound silence.

Suddenly, Tyrone shot up from the sofa, his voice cracking with urgency. “Ms. Greene! Something’s wrong! The main city’s anti-air energy thresholds are spiking abnormally! The coordinates… it’s right above us!”

Margaret’s heart lurched. A cold dread spread through her veins.

The madman didn’t plan a ground assault. Darien has lost his mind! He’s using the Empire’s orbital cannon, suspended in space. The old fool intends to erase this villa, me, and Norman from the map entirely.

There was no time to react,

A deafening sonic boom tore through the air above as a high-energy particle beam ripped through the atmosphere.

A blinding, searing light instantly robbed everyone of their vision, illuminating the entire night sky. The villa’s defenses, reputed to withstand heavy mecha fire, didn’t last a second against the particle beam, disintegrating into silent dust.

Norman screamed in terror, “Margaret!”

In that sliver of time between life and annihilation, Margaret’s body moved faster than her thoughts. She yanked Norman against her chest, curling herself over the child in a desperate shield.

At the exact same moment, three figures lunged toward her without hesitation.

With a raw, desperate cry, Timothy threw himself over Margaret. Tyrone and Quentin flanked them, using their own bodies to form an impenetrable protective cage around her.

Facing total obliteration, the three men instinctively used their flesh and bones as her final barrier. The five of them became a tightly knit, human fortress.

In the nanosecond before the steel-vaporizing heat could consume them, a faint, honeycomb-patterned blue energy barrier materialized.

Centered on Margaret, it expanded instantly, creating a perfect, one-yard radius sphere of absolute safety.

The space was tiny, just enough to envelop the five closely huddled bodies.

A cataclysmic explosion swallowed the villa whole.

The violent energy wave shredded the structure instantly. Bricks, bulletproof glass, opulent furniture—all vaporized in the horrific heat. The ground itself was gouged into a smoldering crater.

Yet, the delicate-looking blue barrier held firm. The massive particle beam collided with it, creating only

rippling waves of energy. Not a shred of heat, not a speck of dust penetrated the shield.

Inside the one-yard sphere was a pocket of stunned silence and ragged breathing. Outside was absolute devastation.

Primo’s electronic voice scrambled through her mind, crackling with static and unmistakable panic.

“Host! Oh my god! That was too close! 0.1 seconds! We almost bought it! Thank goodness we bought that shield earlier!”

Margaret’s ears rang.

Right… The shield from the System Mall back in the Sirius Galaxy.

Purchased on a whim and nearly forgotten in the absence of dire threats.

The blinding light gradually faded, revealing a scene of swirling dust and the acrid stench of scorched earth.

Slowly, stiffly, Timothy, Tyrone, and Quentin relaxed their grips, pulling back to check on Margaret. As they saw her unharmed, a profound wave of relief washed over them, pushing aside any fleeting curiosity about the shield’s origin.

Her survival was all that mattered.

Margaret gently patted Norman’s trembling back, easing her out from her protective hold. “It’s over now. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
