In the morning, the sun had risen above the horizon, and the people were yet to get out of bed and start their day, when rows of cars screeched to a halt in front of Ivory Towers.
The men in black uniforms and boots, wearing firearms and sunglasses, rushed out of their cars. A group of them surrounded a car, and another group rushed inside the Ivory Towers reception.
Everyone who witnessed it stopped by to watch the scene. The receptionist and guards of the Ivory Towers were alerted. They watched as the armored men scanned the hall, searching for anything that might be a threat.
None of the staff was shocked there. Witnessing it, the man inside the car realized Alaric was prepared for his unannounced arrival.
Lucien Astor. The president of the country, the father of Seraphina.
As if on cue, a group of men in suits arrived at the reception with armor, causing his security to stand guard.
