Lord of the Karmic Fate

Thanks to the great changes and massive growth of technology after the Third World War, the life of humanity became way easier than ever before, which, naturally, included transport.

In the past, people usually used normal vehicles that couldn't travel at high speed and only used planes or trains which could move at 400-700 km/h if they wished to travel from one point on Earth to another.

However, thanks to constant developments and newer and newer technological improvements, now there were vehicles all around the world that could transport a large number of people in huge distances safely with more than 1,000 km/h on land and even over 2,500 km/h on the air!

And right now, Raven will board and travel by such a vehicle, which, in fact, was Old Dan's private jet which he bought for close to 1 billion Novas which in the old world would be around twice as much in USD!

Of course, considering that it was an extremely luxurious and high-tech private jet that was capable of traveling over 2,000 km/h with ease and without trouble, such a price was normal, perhaps a little small in an amount too!

The jet itself was long, around 250 feet which were 76 meters. It was made out of shiny silver alloy and had numerous small circular dark windows next to each other on both sides.

Furthermore, it had four massive engines on it, one on either side around its middle part and one on either side at its tail.

Anyone seeing this beauty would drool or pass out from shock, but in the eyes of Darwin and especially Lucas, such a thing was normal and while not as extravagant as this one, both of them possessed one each!

Once inside the jet, Thomas closed the gate and without asking anything walked into the pilot's cockpit where he quickly started the engines and made the jet start moving!

"Master Dan, we are expected to arrive at City Nova in two hours." speaking through the speakers, Thomas informed Old Dan and the rest sitting around him in a luxurious room with a calm tone of voice.

"Two hours, huh?" Darwin mumbled before grabbing a small cigarette from a glass container from the side and while placing it into his mouth and closing his eyes, he said, "Then I think we should rest a little but. I have a feeling we will have a very looong day before us."

Lucas nodded as he agreed with this, but instead of resting, he decided to put on some chilling music on the wireless speakers before starting to chat with Old Dan, mainly about the events that happened with both of them and the things that could occur in the future.

As for Luna and Raven, the former simply tilted her head gently against the latter shoulder before falling into a slumber.

Raven smiled at this behavior of his little sister as he was very used to this closeness with her, and without saying anything he too closed his eyes to take a small nap.

In middle New Europe, City Nova, the capital of the New World.

"Damn, it feels like it had been ages since I last came to this city!" sitting inside of a black limousine that floated above the ground and let out zero sound, Old Dan exclaimed out loud as he stared outside.

Wide streets filled with numerous floating vehicles on both sides, lamp posts in different but unique styles with floating orbs within them instead of light bulbs, and modern buildings, each having different sizes from two-story houses to cloud-touching skyscrapers!

"Yeah, me too. But in my memory City Nova was something way more... active." Luca nodded and watched how except for a few vehicles and running individuals across the streets there was no one around!

The whole city felt dead and abandoned, just like in those apocalypse movies with the sole exception here things were not destroyed and there seemed to be no chaos around.

"Everyone was notified to stay inside their homes and only leave when it is particularly necessary," Darwin explained calmly as he stared outside the window, watching how two individuals carrying weapons patrolled the streets.

"Luckily I have informed Bai Feng about our arrival or else I am sure we would have been prohibited from leaving the airport." Old Dan explained and watched as they gradually approached the central part of the city where a massive building stood in the middle of a huge green field which from looking above had the shape of a star!

It was the Star Palace, the current and future residence of the United World League's president, who at this moment was President Bai!

"Esteemed guests, welcome to the Star Palace. Master Bai was waiting for your arrival. Please, this way."

Climbing out of the limousine, the first thing Raven and the rest were welcomed with was a young lady wearing a stylish and modern maid dress with two big framed bodyguards standing behind her, each wearing a black suit and black sunglasses.

However, despite holding a calm expression, the moment the maid's eyes fell on the figure of Old Dan her eyes flashed with a weird light before she quickly regained her composure.

Old Dan nodded gently and without hesitation started to follow after the young lady while Lucas, Darwin, and Raven with Luna closely beside him followed after him.

A few moments later, after walking through the beautiful garden of the Star Palace which was filled with emerald green trees and various colored and looking flowers, the group finally reached the entrance and walked inside.

"Woah..." Luna let out a shocked gasp once inside as this was her first time being inside the Star Palace despite her father being close friends with Bai Feng since childhood!

On the other hand, Raven just admired the luxurious interior of the palace while Lucas and Darwin were completely unfazed and were indifferent to the sight around them.

The group walked through a few hallways which were loaded with numerous antiques and expensive stuff before they were finally reached a door that was opened by the maid, revealing a spacious hall on the other side.

However, in contrast to the expected empty interior, the hall was filled with numerous people, each wearing eye-catching suits or dresses from which one could easily tell they all were important figures.

"Esteemed Guests, Master Bai will soon arrive, until then please relax and try to enjoy yourselves with some drinks and food over there." the maid pointed at the numerous tables on the side, each having various drinks and food on them.

"Thank you." Old Dan thanked with a smile to which the maid bowed and left the hall.

Of course, this did not mean the others in the hall would avert their gazes from them. No, in fact, more and more people looked in their direction, their attention mainly focused on Old Dan and Raven's figure.

One has to take note that everyone that currently was inside the hall knew each other in one way or another and possibly met with each other face to face at least once.

Hence, after seeing Raven who until now no one saw but only heard about before for various reasons together with Old Dan's now completely new appearance, it was only normal to see all of them staring at them with confusion and suspicion.

There were even some people whose bodyguards raised their guards and narrowed their eyes at them, almost as if they tried to see through them and unearth all their secrets!

However, while such a thing would make numerous other individuals feel nervous because of the intense stares directed at them, only made Old Dan show a confident smile and after spotting someone close to him he widened his arms and started to speak loudly;

"David, old friend! How are you? I see your beard and mustache are just as glorious as ever, haha!"

About ten meters away from Old Dan, a man in his late forties with a long beard and with a handlebar mustache widened his eyes upon recognizing the voice that talked to him, and the tobacco pipe in his hand instantly fell out.

And it was not only him, but almost everyone who heard Old Dan's voice became stupidity in one way or another, immidieatly causing a small ruckus in the large hall!
