Elias hurried over, his silver hair messy. He blinked hard, thinking he was still dreaming. "No way… no way this happened overnight."
Griffin, Viktor, and Mason joined them one by one. Soon, all six men stood together, staring at the new massive stone walls that surrounded the cleared land.
"This… this wasn't here yesterday," Griffin muttered, his face pale.
"No kidding!" Jonas snapped. "How could walls like this just pop out of nowhere?!"
Mason swallowed hard. "Don't tell me… Ivy did this."
Viktor frowned deeply. "That's impossible. How can one person build all this in a night? Even an army would take weeks!"
Mayor Daniel rubbed his forehead, his voice heavy. "But who else could it be? She's the only one who owns the land."
They all turned silent.
Elias finally whispered, his eyes fixed on the towering walls. "If she can build this… then she really is planning something big. Do you all truly think she is planning to open her business?"
