Robin stood up and tried to flex his muscles. He noticed a physical improvement in his body, he could hold his breath for longer, his mussels are more flexible then before.He thought to himself, "I could run a marathon now."
Robin talked with the doctor about various enhancements and pros and cons about these enhanced. After talking for a while, Robin bid farewell to the doctor and left the biotech institute.
His stomach rumbled, all these shenanigans had certainly made him hungry.
"Oliver," Robin said, turning to his butler, " could you book a reservation in a good restaurant "
Oliver, who always look professional, gave a small nod. "Of course, sir. I’ll arrange everything immediately."
It didn’t take long for them to arrive at a renowned, high-end restaurant known for its fusion of traditional and intergalactic cuisine. The exterior decorated with verious flowers, with glass walls that offered a view of the sky above, while inside, dim lighting cast a warm glow. Soft music played in the background, providing an atmosphere of clam and elegence.
Once inside, a hostess guided them to a private table overlooking a lush indoor garden. As he sat, he noticed Oliver and Andrew stood behind him. Their roles as butler and guard kept them on alert, always ready to serve rather than partake.
Robin noticed their reluctance and smiled. "Join me guys."
Andrew shifted awkwardly, his hand still near the handle of his gun ready for any situation. "Sir, it's not necessary."
"It is," Robin insisted. "I just meet you guys today but from now on you two have to stick with me. And don't think of me like those aristocrat I'm just a common man. Fate brought me here. Just imagine if i was not from William family instead if i was a common nobody i would have been a experiment subject for those mad scientist.
So think of me like a friend."

With a slight nod, Oliver and Andrew sat down, though both still appeared somewhat uncomfortable. A waiter soon appeared with menus, listing exotic dishes that spanned the galaxy. Robin asked Oliver to pick what's the best dish in the menu.
Oliver ordered a platter with verious dishes for robin, order salads and steak for himself and Andrew ordered only meat.
As the dishes arrived, they were served on elegant plates with artistic presentation.Robin eagerly began his meal, tasting each dish with a sense of wonder.
Oliver, still composed, finally took a cautious bite of a lightly seared piece of steak. His don't express with his voice but his facial expression shows he liked the food.
On the other hand Andrew, after some initial hesitation, began eating as well. He was not as compose as Oliver. He gubble down meat plates after plates.
Time flowed smoothly after that, they talk about foods taste over the meal. Robin, now fully relaxed, looked at his companions with gratitude. They weren't just staff; they are now his team. For the time being he have to rely on them in this unknown world .
As the night wound down, dessert was served: a delicate pastry filled with a rich cream from an interstellar creature’s milk, garnished with edible flowers that shimmered under the dim light. Robin leaned back in his chair, satisfied, both physically and emotionally.
"See," Robin said, "looks like you guys seems to enjoy your meal "
Oliver gave a rare smile. "Indeed, sir. I must admit, it’s been a pleasant time."
Andrew nodded in agreement, wiping his mouth. "I could get used to this, but don’t expect it every day."
Robin laughed. "Maybe not every day, but who knows what the future stored for us, whatever it is you guys have to guide me through it."
As they finished their dinner robin left a big tip for the chefs.
They left the fancy restaurant and boarded their car.
Oliver said looking at his terminal "sir the house is ready."
Robin was surprised, he just bought the house in afternoon but the house is ready in few hours.
"How did they do it this fast" robin asked with amusement .
" Don't underestimate family's logistics,sir" Oliver said.
Robin gave it a thought, it's not a earth where it took him several days to fix broken roof and torn wallpaper. The William family is more like a royal family , if they can control a gellaxy they have enough manpower to redesign a house."
" If you want we can visit the mall , watch a movie or attend a concert." Oliver said.
" Not really, I'm kinda tired. Just drive me to home i just want to lay down for few days, all these otherworldly experience made me burne out and if i have any schedule just delay them for later."
Oliver nodded in agreement.
The night in city is more interesting the he thought. Street lights ,floating vehicle, glowing building, billboards made the city look like a certain video game he played when he was on earth. At first he thought all those lights together might look ugly and uncanny but they synced in a harmonize manner he couldn't understand.
Their car moved through the bustling city street to urban area with different types of mansion. Robin could tell that these is where the VIPs of the city resides. There were checkpoints, guard and surveillance cameras installed everywhere. The security here is top notch but their car never stopped for anyone. As the more they go deeper there are less housing and more forest. The distance between all the house or mansions are increasing. It he never knew this is a residential area he for sure would've thought this a jungle. The city and its outskirts are two different world. One filled with colored lights another with color of lifes. After driving for a while they reached their destination.
Robin's new home for time being.
