Seneria country.
Ubao apartment.
Ubao was running around the hall, repeatedly glancing through the window outside.
His father, mother, and his two sisters looked at him with uncertainty. His mother spoke first, voice soft but worried.
"Ubao, are you really okay? You told us to pack our things, saying your company is shifting somewhere, and we all need to go with them. But you didn't tell us where, and now you're running around like that."
His sisters chimed in together, one after the other.
"Brother, we've already told our friends and teachers we're going somewhere far away. If the plan gets cancelled, we'll be really embarrassed."
His father didn't say much at first. He just patted Ubao's shoulder gently and asked in a low, steady tone:
"Ubao, you can tell us. Is it really true that your previous company is shifting somewhere else?"
Ubao, who had decided to stay with the company, turned to his family with a determined expression.
"Father, Mother, sisters… believe me. The company is really shifting. But we don't know where to. Our new owner is really mysterious. He just suddenly appeared and decided to shift the whole headquarters. He said he will send his people here to pick us up. But he hasn't told us the time or anything. I talked with the CEO too—he doesn't know either. We're all just waiting."
His family listened quietly. They had already heard the rumors spreading online and in the news: the massive company that owned Free Fire had been bought by a single unknown person. No name. No face. No public trace of where the money came from. It was the talk of the country—everyone wondering who could afford such a thing, and why they wanted it kept secret.
They nodded slowly, trusting Ubao even if the story sounded unbelievable.
Just as they were waiting in uneasy silence, the doorbell rang.
Ring~~~
It cut through the quiet apartment like a sudden alarm.
All heads turned toward the door.
The ring stopped for a second, then rang again.
Ring~~
Ubao rushed to the door, heart pounding.
In his mind, thoughts raced:
Who could it be at this hour? Is it our neighbor or a relative who came to say goodbye? But I already told everyone not to come…
Then another thought struck him.
Could it be the people sent by the new owner? But… I don't hear any car sound. No engine. No footsteps in the hallway. Nothing.
He hesitated for half a second, hand on the doorknob.
Then he opened it.
Just as he opened the door, he saw a man standing there. The man had almost no expression—his physique looked more like a bear than a human: broad shoulders, thick arms, towering height, and a calm, immovable presence that made the hallway feel smaller.
The man spoke in a low, steady voice.
"Sir Ubao, I am here to pick you up and take you to the new headquarters."
Ubao was surprised seeing this bear-like man. But when he heard the purpose, he sighed in relief. Even though he was confused—whereis the car?—he didn't ask. He thought: It looks like we have to go somewhere to get on the vehicle.
He just said, "So you finally came…"
Then he turned to his family, voice steady despite the pounding in his chest.
"Let's go. Our journey is now starting."
He followed the man. His family followed him—father, mother, and two sisters—carrying only essential bags. They hadn't taken many things like clothes or furniture. Just some necessities. They planned to buy new things at the new place.
It's not like they couldn't even buy stuff there? Even if it was a secret and confidential location, the owner couldn't expect them to pack their entire households in just two days.
They exited the building and walked several meters through quiet roads until they reached a place with almost no people around—an empty side street.
Then the man in the lead took something small from his pocket.
Suddenly, a black car became visible in the previously empty space.
Ubao?????
His family?????
Ubao and his family's worldview turned upside down in just a single second.
Their minds raced with thoughts: Is this a dream? Are we awake right now? Cars can become invisible now? Are we behind the times?
They looked at the man in confusion. The man, understanding it, said calmly:
"It's just a little technology developed secretly."
Saying this, he opened the door of the car and helped them get inside.
After they sat inside, they saw that the car looked normal from the outside but from the inside?
It was super comfy and luxurious. The space was much wider than it should have been. They were confused: Why does the inside look so big?
But they didn't ask. They thought it was just their imagination.
It's not like this car could also expand its inside space with invisible power?
That wasn't logical. They weren't really behind the times.
Then the car started.
