Michael is at the gala

Injecting a sliver of his energy into the invitation, Michael activated its teleportation function. A golden light rapidly enveloped him, signaling the beginning of his journey to Fortuna's gala. As the light intensified, he found himself whisked away, leaving the physical realm behind.

In mid-transit, Michael instructed the system to manipulate the portal's destination, intending to land at a discreet location away from the gala's epicenter. Moments later, he emerged on a hilltop, offering a commanding view of the grand dome where the gala was set to take place. The sight was breathtaking, with the dome shimmering under the starlit sky, surrounded by the serene beauty of the landscape.

Sarba, observing the scene, couldn't help but comment on its beauty. 

"This place is incredible," Sarba noted, his voice filled with awe.

Just then, Michael heard Pink's voice through his earpiece.
