I Breathe Euro

Chapter 194 Future Island. (1/2)

The next morning, Jack woke up feeling refreshed. He stretched his arms before heading to the bathroom for a shower. The warm water helped him wake up fully, washing away any lingering sleepiness. After drying off, he dressed quickly and made his way to the hotel lobby for breakfast.

The scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries filled the air as Jack grabbed a plate and chose a seat near the window. While enjoying his meal, he pulled out his phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello, Swami Ji," Jack said, his voice calm but purposeful. Between bites of his food, he added, "I'll be heading out today."

"Alright, I'll prepare my men on the island," Dev Swami replied. His tone was hurried, as if he was juggling multiple tasks at once. Jack noticed this and decided not to hold him up. After exchanging a few more casual words, he ended the call.

Jack leaned back in his chair, sipping the last of his coffee. He decided to book a chauffeur service for the day, ensuring his transportation would be both convenient and comfortable.

As he waited, a thought crossed his mind—something he hadn't considered in days. The System Random Shop. He had been so focused on relaxing that he'd almost forgotten about it. With a tap on his phone, the familiar interface appeared before him.

[Random Shop: A Nuclear Baby = 1,000,000€ | 17.34.21]

Jack blinked at the bizarre listing. "A Nuclear Baby?" he muttered to himself, raising an eyebrow. "What even is this supposed to mean?"

The countdown timer ticked down steadily. Whatever this item was, Jack would have to decide quickly if it was worth spending a fortune on.

Jack's journey to the Mumbai port was quick, the familiar streets of the city passing by in a blur as the sleek black car sped along. He couldn't help but notice how much the place had changed since his last visit. The roads, once dusty and uneven, were now perfectly paved with smooth, wide lanes that seemed to stretch endlessly. Tall, modern streetlights lined the way, casting a warm glow on the surroundings. It felt like the city had transformed overnight, becoming something far more refined, far more powerful.

As his car reached the port, Jack looked out through the tinted windows and saw the distant island coming into view. His heart quickened with anticipation. It had been some time since his last visit, and he had no idea what to expect now. The island that once seemed like a forgotten jungle had blossomed into a vision of modernity.

He could already spot towering buildings rising from the once wild landscape. The sleek, glass-and-steel structures gleamed under the sun, their sharp edges reflecting light in a way that spoke of immense wealth and power. Some buildings were so high they seemed to touch the sky itself. It was clear that his arrival was part of something far larger than he had anticipated. This was no longer a secluded retreat but a hub of activity, a center of influence.

The helicopter ride to the island was smooth and quick, and soon Jack found himself stepping onto the freshly paved runway. As the helicopter blades slowed to a halt, Jack's eyes widened at the sight before him. The island had been completely transformed. The once wild, untamed jungle had given way to smooth, wide roads lined with lush greenery and modern structures. The air itself felt different—crisper, cleaner—as though this place had truly been reinvented.

As he stepped down from the aircraft, several rows of luxury cars, gleaming in perfect condition, were lined up to welcome him. The cars were all top-of-the-line models, their glossy surfaces reflecting the sunlight. From sleek sedans to powerful SUVs, there was no doubt that they had been prepared just for him. It was clear that this wasn't just a place of business—it was a statement.

A group of well-dressed bodyguards, each one imposing yet professional, stood at attention as Jack disembarked. Their expressions were serious, but there was a warmth to their demeanor as they greeted him. "Welcome, Mr. Jack," one of them said, bowing slightly in respect. "Everything has been prepared for your arrival."

Jack couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he surveyed the scene. The attention to detail was overwhelming. The air was filled with a low hum of activity as more staff members appeared from the newly built buildings, all seemingly waiting for his command. The roads, once rugged and barely passable, were now pristine, with smooth asphalt and neatly lined trees on either side. The streets stretched out into the distance, leading to more buildings, some still under construction, but all of them massive, ambitious in scope.

It wasn't just the roads and buildings that caught his attention; it was the people. The island was alive with energy—workers in sharp uniforms were hustling between the structures, engineers overseeing construction, and managers discussing plans in hushed voices. Everything seemed to be perfectly coordinated, a well-oiled machine designed for one purpose: success.

A luxurious limousine, with tinted windows and polished chrome, was waiting for Jack at the front of the row of cars. The doors opened automatically as he approached, and he could see the interior, lit in soft, golden hues. The leather seats were pristine, and a private driver was standing ready, his posture impeccable.

"Please, Mr. Jack," the driver said with a respectful nod, "everything is ready for you. Your accommodations have been arranged, and we can begin the tour whenever you are ready."

As Jack stepped into the car, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. This island, which had once been a mere dream, was now a thriving, vibrant place—a symbol of what he could achieve. And this was only the beginning.

The car's engine purred to life, and they began to drive through the pristine streets of the island. Jack looked out the window, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He saw several more high-rise buildings in the distance, their shapes bold and striking, each one more impressive than the last. Some were still in the process of being built, but they were massive, with construction cranes moving swiftly to finish the work.

The roads were wide and perfect, with smooth curves and clear signage. It felt like he was driving through a futuristic city—everything was new, everything was cutting-edge. The streets were bustling with activity, yet there was a sense of calm, like a well-planned, high-end metropolis where everything had its place.

As the car drove deeper into the island, Jack's anticipation grew. He knew there were plans in motion here, but this level of progress exceeded even his expectations. The island had become more than just a business venture—it was a symbol of his vision, of everything he was building and striving for.

After taking in the stunning transformation of the island, Jack directed his chauffeur to head toward the medical research building. It was one of the crown jewels of his vision for the island, and its construction alone had cost him a staggering 5 billion euros. To Jack, this wasn't just another facility—it was the foundation for the future he envisioned.

As the limousine approached the massive structure, Jack's gaze sharpened. The medical research building stood proudly at the heart of the island, its sleek design a testament to both innovation and power. Its exterior was a combination of shimmering glass and reinforced steel, with clean lines that made it look like something out of a futuristic world. The building towered over its surroundings, with its size and sophistication making it impossible to miss.

Stepping out of the car, Jack adjusted his coat and walked toward the entrance. A sense of purpose filled him. For most people, a facility like this would be a dream, but for Jack, it was just a stepping stone. After all, as the Divine Doctor, he had knowledge and skills far beyond what this modern Earth could comprehend. To him, the technology here felt like it belonged in ancient times—primitive and basic compared to what he knew.

The building's automatic doors slid open silently, revealing a pristine interior that was a blend of cutting-edge design and practicality. The floors were polished white marble, reflecting the soft glow of the LED lights overhead. Digital displays lined the walls, showcasing ongoing projects, research statistics, and real-time data from labs across the facility.

Jack walked past the reception area, where staff members immediately stood up to greet him. Their expressions were a mix of respect and awe. "Welcome, Mr. Jack," one of the administrators said, bowing slightly. "We've been expecting you. Would you like a full tour, or is there a specific area you'd like to check first?"

"Take me directly to the labs," Jack replied, his tone calm but firm.

As he moved through the corridors, Jack observed the bustling activity around him. Scientists in white lab coats moved with purpose, their hands filled with tablets and reports. Conversations about advanced research topics echoed in the air, and every corner of the facility seemed alive with innovation. This was exactly what Jack had envisioned—a place where the brightest minds could come together and push the boundaries of what was possible.

Eventually, Jack arrived at one of the main laboratories. The room was vast, filled with state-of-the-art equipment that gleamed under the bright lights. Machines hummed softly, and holographic interfaces projected data into the air. A group of researchers stood near a large console, engrossed in a discussion about their latest findings.

"Everything running smoothly here?" Jack asked, his gaze sweeping across the room.

One of the lead researchers stepped forward, a confident smile on her face. "Yes, Mr. Jack. In fact, we've already made significant progress on the regenerative medicine project you funded. Our team believes we're only months away from breakthroughs that could revolutionize healthcare globally."

Jack nodded, pleased with the report. "Good. Make sure nothing delays this work. The world is in desperate need of advancement, and this facility will be at the forefront of it."

He spent the next hour touring the labs, examining the equipment and speaking with the researchers. While they were clearly talented, Jack couldn't help but notice how limited their thinking was compared to his own. Their understanding of medicine, while advanced by Earth's standards, felt like child's play to him. But that was why he had created this center—to bring their knowledge closer to his level, to bridge the gap between Earth's current technology and the future he envisioned.

As Jack left the research building, he felt a sense of satisfaction. The facility was running smoothly, and the work being done here would undoubtedly bring about monumental changes. But deep down, he knew this was only the beginning. There was so much more to achieve, and he wouldn't stop until he had reshaped the world itself.
