As the boat glided over the last stretch of the city's outskirts, the landscape beneath them changed dramatically.
The hustle and noise melted away, replaced by thick forests that sprawled endlessly in every direction and the terrain looked untouched, serene, like something out of a postcard.
Below them, nestled in the middle of this vast wilderness, was a massive, gated property.
It had sprawling green lawns, immaculately trimmed hedges, stone paths that meandered through flowering gardens, and even a glistening pond reflecting the early evening light.
From above, it looked less like a home and more like a secluded paradise, or the estate of someone outrageously wealthy.
As they passed overhead, Mika let out a long whistle.
"Damn...we're way out from the city, huh?" He said, leaning forward to get a better view of the forested sprawl beneath them. "But it must be a pain in the ass to go back and forth all the time. Just getting groceries must feel like a damn road trip."
