After several hours of flight, the plane carrying Jeremy and Bonnie was finally approaching Capital.
Although the Apocalypse Game had arrived some time ago and numerous instances as well as powerful monsters had appeared around Capital, the city itself still remained vibrant and bustling.

Even though the airport was located on the outskirts of the city, Jeremy could still see a vast number of buildings and bright streets. The bustling lights of the city illuminated the entire Capital, even in the darkness of night.
"The last time I was here, Capital wasn't nearly as prosperous. It seems that in the past few months, the threats facing the city have been mostly minor," Jeremy couldn't help but remark as he gazed out of the window.
Sitting not far from Jeremy, a colonel sent by the military headquarters sneered. "The threats Capital has faced over the past few months have indeed been significant! However, the major threats have mostly been concentrated in other areas of the city. We're currently in the southern district of Capital, and this area hasn't been threatened at all. In fact, there are hardly any monsters near the airport."
Jeremy turned his attention to the colonel. The man merely glanced at him before lowering his head again.
"It seems that these people still harbor a lot of hostility toward me. I need to be extra cautious now that I'm in Capital," Jeremy thought to himself silently.
At that moment, Jeremy suddenly heard Bonnie's voice.
"Where are we now? How much longer until the plane lands?"
Jeremy quickly looked toward Bonnie.
Though her face was still somewhat pale, her condition had improved significantly compared to before. A faint smile even appeared on her face.
Jeremy hurried over to Bonnie's side.
"You've recovered quite a bit! But I still think you should rest properly and not worry about anything else. We're about to land at the airport, and once we do, you'll be taken straight to the hospital."
Jeremy smiled as he spoke to Bonnie.
Bonnie nodded in response.
"I don't think I need too much rest. I just need two or three days, and then I'll be able to join you in action again. Besides, I've already promised you that I'd show you around Capital and help you get familiar with everything here."
At this moment, Bonnie still wanted to fulfill her promise. After all, in Bonnie's eyes, she felt that she had to present herself in the best possible light in front of Jeremy.
Jeremy nodded.
"I have no doubt that you will keep your promise! But if you don't fully recover, we won't be able to take any further action. So, it's best for you to rest up first."
While Jeremy and Bonnie were talking, the plane slowly descended toward the airport in the southern district of Capital.
With his mind now at ease, Jeremy entered the inn. Following the directions of the staff, he made his way to his room.
Room 406 wasn't exactly luxurious, but it was clear that it was one of the more expensive rooms in the inn. It was comfortable enough, if not particularly extravagant.
Jeremy spent some time searching the room, making sure there were no unusual conditions or signs of tampering. Once he was satisfied that everything seemed normal, he decided to get some rest.
Though he had managed to sleep for a couple of hours on the plane, it was obvious that resting on an aircraft wasn't particularly restful. Jeremy hoped to recover as much of his energy as possible, so he'd be in peak condition to handle any unexpected situations that might arise.
Despite his intention to rest, Jeremy remained on high alert.
Inside his room, he set up a series of traps—just in case. Additionally, he used a special item at the door to further secure his space.
This special item Jeremy had placed at the door was capable of recording every detail about anyone who came close to it. Every movement, every sound, every piece of information was meticulously captured and stored.
Once all the precautions were set up, Jeremy finally collapsed onto the comfortable bed in his room.
During his sleep, Jeremy wasn't disturbed by anything. However, unbeknownst to him, his every move was being closely watched by countless eyes.
He had assumed that the big players in Capital were not paying attention to him, but he was wrong. In reality, the high-ranking individuals in Capital were keeping a very close eye on Jeremy.
Everyone knew that Jeremy had obtained a divine artifact, and he was also widely recognized as the most talented player in the Apocalypse Game. Whether they were his enemies or his allies, people were very concerned with his every action.
Even factions that had no direct connection to Jeremy were eager to recruit him to their side.
The reason why Jeremy hadn't encountered any unexpected situations upon arriving in Capital was simply that the various factions here were still hesitant. They hadn't made any moves yet.
The relationships between the factions in Capital were incredibly complicated. Each faction had to carefully consider the possible reactions of the others. As a result, any actions they planned required extensive preparation and long periods of scheming.
In stark contrast to Jeremy's situation, Bonnie was undergoing a very different experience. While Jeremy was being taken to his temporary accommodation, Bonnie had finally been transported to the best hospital in Capital.
At the hospital, senior members of the White Family were already waiting for her. In addition to them, representatives from many of Capital's most powerful families had also gathered. All of them were deeply concerned about Bonnie's condition.
Although Bonnie was exhausted from her ordeal, she still had to respond to the questions and pleasantries of the elders. They asked her how she was feeling, if she needed anything, and whether she was resting well. Bonnie, though tired, had to politely answer each of them in turn.
Only when the last of the elders had left did Bonnie feel a sense of relief. Finally, she had some time to herself.
At that moment, Bonnie's phone suddenly rang. It was none other than her old classmate calling.
"How are you doing right now? I heard you were ambushed on your way to Capital! Are you okay? Did anything serious happen?"
Hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Bonnie couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Don't worry about me. Although I was ambushed on the way here, I was traveling with Jeremy. He was able to ensure my safety. I just need two days of rest to fully recover, and I'll be fine."
