Chapter 84: War. Greed. Power

This kid had something.

Before, it was just a guess, but now it was verified—he was indeed someone gifted.

After a few minutes, he felt better, and they all headed back.

On the way, he grabbed a hearty breakfast at a nearby diner, as he didn't have the strength to make one himself anymore.

Scrambled eggs, avocado toast, oatmeal with berries, and a protein smoothie—fuel for the day's plans.

Returning to his house, he went straight to the showers and treated himself to a long alternating hot and cold shower, to wash away sweat and exhaustion and let the water massage away his soreness.

He even took a few extra minutes to shave and apply some basic skincare—a small self-discipline habit he'd picked up recently.

Throwing on casual loungewear—soft cotton pants, a breathable tee, and his favorite pair of soft house shoes.

Finally, he brewed himself a strong cup of coffee.
