Chapter 124 Is there anything her space can’t do?!
Jonna walked to the door and shrugged, looking back over her shoulder with a mysterious grin. “I’ll tell you later, let’s go.”
As they walked out of the building and passed the guards, Caleb paused and extended his hand toward the men still sleeping.
“I am just replenishing their dreams,” Caleb murmured, a soft glow faintly reflecting in his eyes. “They will wake in a few hours.”
Joanna nodded, appreciating the non-lethal precaution, and once she exited the break room, she walked toward the massive warehouses. There were two of them, stretching out across an area that covered about five blocks, entirely filled with vital supplies.
As she walked, she activated her villa comm, speaking directly through the device. “I am at the dock, are you guys ready?”
Caleb observed her closely, assuming she was simply talking into a standard wireless earpiece. But in the very next second, two large men materialized out of thin air, appearing directly before her.
The sudden manifestation caught the newcomers completely off guard. Kailee was so scared she yelled, her survival instincts kicking in instantly. She thrust her hands forward and sent a massive air blast tearing through the space, knocking both men violently onto the ground.
Joanna stood speechless for a fraction of a second, staring at her thrown allies before turning on the blonde fighter. “Hey! Kailee, it’s okay, these guys are with me!”
Both Jake and Julian sat on the ground, dazed and confused, rubbing their shoulders from the impact of the wind blast. Joanna sent them a helpless smile and held out a hand to help them up.
“Sorry about that, everyone,” Joanna said. “My space allows people to enter now that it’s upgraded. They were resting in my storage space earlier.”
Caleb blinked, looking between Joanna and the two strangers in sleek black clothing. “Wait, you can put actual people in there now?” he muttered, shaking his head to clear the cobwebs. Julian just groaned, brushing dirt off his heavy jacket, still trying to process how he had gone from a cozy pocket dimension to eating pavement in a foggy shipping port.
Joanna turned back to her new companions to introduce them. “This is Kailee and Caleb.”
Caleb blinked, processing the incredible new realization about the storage space, but he quickly recovered and wore a gentle smile. “Hi, Jake and Julian,” he said smoothly. “We already know who you are.”
Kailee, looking a bit sheepish now that the threat was gone, gave a small, awkward wave. “Hi, guys,” she muttered, her fierce demeanor completely melting into embarrassment. “My bad!”
Jake and Julian exchanged a wary look, but Caleb’s calm presence and Kailee’s quick apology had both men nodding to them in greeting. Joanna moved forward and motioned to Jake. Jake already understood what Joanna wanted. Using his metal ability, he crumpled the warehouse door and let Joanna enter in first.
Once they entered the warehouse, Joanna wasted no time. Jake and Julian stood to the side with Caleb and Kailee, watching her get to work.

Chapter 124 Is there anything her space can’t do?
Finished
“Welcome to the team,” Jake said, glancing at the two newcomers. He then nodded toward Joanna and
med. “Watch her. This part is one of my favorites.” Julian nodded silently beside him, crossing his arms in anticipation.
Before them stretched an overwhelming forest of commerce. Massive stacks of metal shipping containers towered several stories high, casting long, geometric shadows across the vast concrete floor. The warehouse was organized into four immense aisles, each packed to the rafters with enough crates, pallets, and heavy cargo containers to fill a fleet of ships.
Joanna started walking down the first aisle. As she moved, she casually held out her right hand, her palm facing the towering walls of steel. In an instant, the massive containers began to disappear one by one, vanishing into thin air without a sound and landing safely within the expansive grid of her level 13 storage space. Towering blocks of food, medicine, and survival gear simply blinked out of existence as she strolled past them, leaving nothing but empty concrete in her wake.
Joanna looked back at the team, a confident smirk playing on her lips. “That was a good warm up,” she said lightly.
Before anyone could ask what she meant, she reached out her hand and a sleek motorcycle materialized directly beneath her. She kicked the engine into gear, the engine roaring to life and echoing through the vast, emptying structure. Twisting the throttle, she sped down the remaining aisles. As she flew past the towering stacks, her hand remained outstretched.
Within just ten minutes, she had cleared out the entire second warehouse as well. Every crate, every heavy steel container, and even the massive mechanical lifts used to move the cargo were completely gone, leaving nothing behind but a pristine, vacant concrete floor.
Caleb whispered under his breath, his eyes wide as he stared at the millions of square feet of empty space. “How much space does she have?”
Joanna drove back toward the group, pulling to a smooth stop with a happy smile on her face. Julian stepped forward and handed her a bottle of her special spring water to help restore her energy. “You look adorable when you turn into a greedy little hoarder,” he teased with a grin.
Joanna laughed, taking a long sip before handing the bottle back to him. “Let’s go to the last warehouse.”
As they began to walk, Kailee caught up to Joanna’s side, still trying to wrap her head around the logistics. “Do you even know what was inside all of those?” she asked. “Or is it just a massive guessing game now?”
