On the way back in the hoverear. Dora gazed out the window, thinking about biss gentle, mad demeanor She murmut “I forgive her.”

Elmer rested his head on her shoulder, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. If it takes you happy Dora, that

that matters.”

Rafe looked at her profile and suddenly said, “I really envy the bond you have with your family”

Dora turned to him. “What about your family?”

Rafe’s smile faded a little. “The Sterling family… it’s all about profit. There’s no real sense of family fast business”

A moment of silence passed inside the hovercar.

Dora reached out to hold his hand. “Now you do.”

Rafe froze, his blue eyes flickering with emotion.

After a long moment, he squeezed her hand back and whispered, “Mm.”

By the time they got home, it was already dark.

Clive and Lioren were both in the living room. One was studying a map, while the other was resting with his eyes close i

When they saw Dora and the others return, both of them looked up at the same time.

Everything go smoothly?” Clive asked.

Yeah, it went really well.

What about you guys? Everything okay at home?” Dora replied.

Clive and Lioren exchanged a glance.

Everything’s fine,” they both said at the same time.

Dora raised an eyebrow, sensing something was off, but she didn’t press further.

After dinner, Dora stood on the third-floor terrace, watching as the rain outside the protective barner grew heavier and

heavier.

Tomorrow, they’d finally be heading to Zone 32.

‘Dora, Clive’s voice came from behind her.

“Mm?” Dora replied,

“Zone 32…” Clive paused. “Stay close to me.”

Dora turned to face him, meeting his deep eyes with a smile. “Okay”

Hownstairs. Elmes and Rafe were discussing who should cover the rear, while Lioren iay nearby, feigning sleep

In the kitchen, the smart robot Seven was preparing tomorrow’s lunchbox

Before bed, Dora was in her room, packing her gear

She heard soft footsteps outside her door. When she opened it, she saw Rafe standing in the fallway

“Need something?” Dora asked.

Rafe handed her a compact datapad. “This is a full weather breakdown for Zone 32

“I’ve highlighted all the optimal weather windows for the next week, including the activity patterns of alien beasts

Dora took it, ‘Wow, this is insanely thorough. The data even pinpointed a few likely timeframes for small beast swarms to

erupt.

“I pulled this from the military database using my old access privileges… just borrowed it,” Rafe said with a smile.

“It should be helpful for the mission,” he added.

Dora scrolled through the data, genuinely impressed by how thorough it was.

This information was worth far more than any ordinary contribution.

“Um…” she hesitated, “I guess I can give you five extra points for this.”

“No rush,” Rafe shook his head. “We can talk about it after the mission’s done.

“I just want to show you,” his blue eyes were especially striking in the dim hallway light, “that I’m part of this family too.”

He dipped his head slightly. “Goodnight, Dory.”

Watching him walk away, Dora leaned against the doorframe, lost in thought.

At the corner of the third-floor balcony, Clive emerged from the shadows, his eyes tracking Rafe as he went upstairs before turning to Dora.

‘He’s trying to please you,” Clive said in a low voice.

‘I know,” Dora said, slipping the datapad into her pocket. “But this intel is actually pretty useful.”

Elmer appeared out of nowhere, whispering, “Rafe’s actually… pretty impressive.”

Lioren strolled over and rubbed against Dora’s leg. “The fox is sly, but he’s not lying this time. The data should be legu

Dora looked at them and suddenly smiled. “Does that mean you’ve accepted him?”

The three beast mates fell silent all at once.

Finally, Clive spoke up. “That depends on how he proves himself.”

Dora nodded. “Let’s wait and see. Head back and get some rest, all of you.”

She closed the door, leaned her back against it, and listened as the footsteps outside faded into silence.

[Find out where the rumors about the crystal ore in Zone 32 are coming from Have someone keep tabs on the Shawn Sterling families movements yer the next few days.

Meanwhile, Elmer was in his room, double checking his gear for the umpteenth time His Optical Brain buzzed with a message from an unknown number.

[Elmer, it’s Mom. I was wrong. Can we meet? He frowned and deleted it right away

Rafe leaned back against his headboard, his Optical Brain displaying the day’s rock fluctuations for the Sterling Group

He took a screenshot, marked a few anomalies, and saved it to an encrypted folder:

Then he opened another window, which showed Dora’s shooting data from today’s training session.

There was a graph showing her accuracy improvement, with his note beside it: (She’s a fast learner..!

His Optical Brain buzzed with an encrypted message.

[Boss, the board’s been talking nonstop about you choosing Dora as your match.

[Most of them think you’ve given up and settled for a defective female without Spatial Realm Ability

[Should we try to stop the rumors?]

Rafe replied: [No, let them talk.

[Let them keep at it.

[Also, look into Dora’s records since she awakened her Spatial Realm Ability.]

The other party replied: [We’ve already checked. The official records say her Spatial Realm is nothing but sandy soil, rates defective.]

Rafe’s blue eyes narrowed a touch. [Alright, that’s enough. I get it. No need to look into it anymore]

The other party replied: [Understood.]

Lioren quietly jumped onto the third-floor terrace, peering through the glass door at Dora’s sleeping form.

He tiptoed in through the terrace door, his amber eyes flickering with mixed emotions. Finally, he let out a soft sigh and curled up beside her bed.

Clive had been keeping a close eye on him lately, and with all the late-night sneaking out to contact Soren, he hadn’t had a chance to sneak in for a long time.

Breathing in the soft fragrance from Dora, Lioren closed his eyes, feeling completely relaxed.

Meanwhile, back at the Shawn Residence, Regina returned from the Southwell family looking utterly humiliated. She stormed straight into the study and slammed the door hard behind her.

The sound of vase shattering could be heard through the door.

Cassian steeled himself and pushed open the study door Regina’s perfectly styled hair was now a mess a fine drench tong out of place Vivienne Dora How dare they humiliate me like this”

Cassian shut the door in silence, the murky light of the study throwing complicated sharkeres arrom his fare

“Mother, calm down.” Cassian said, his voice even, though his knuckles were bone-white from how tightly he was denrhing

his fists.

“Calm down?” Regina spun around, her perfectly made-up face twisted with barely contained fury Cassian, how am 1 supposed to calm down?

“Even that useless Elmer, the one I never even paid any attention to, is now at the Pinnacle Level And he’s awakened a second supernatural ability!

“And you? I threw everything the Shawn family had behind you, and what did’n get us? You lost the competition, and now the engagement’s gone.

“Even Iris, some clueless female raised on the outer-rim planet, who’s never seen anything of the real world, won’t even agree to be matched with you!

“We, the Shawn family, are a total joke now!”

Cassian swallowed his frustration and pleaded. “Mother, I swear I won’t mess up the crystal ore in Zone 32 this time. Please. just give me one more chance to prove myself!”

He knew Regina all too well.

That gentle, loving mother act was just a mask. Deep down, she was manipulative and obsessed with her reputation.

All her so-called favoritism came with strings attached.

Back then, his father Kael Shawn became her alpha beast mate because of his powerful Level 7 fire-type supernatural ability.

Cassian himself had inherited the peacock beast form, and the family always said his bloodline was the closest thing to a phoenix. That was the only reason he’d been in the spotlight for over twenty years.

But now…
