In a secret realm not so far from the guardian islands, Julius was touring a research facility.

It was a large blue block with a green interior design. The block had a hundred floors and was about half a mile in radius.

Each such block occupied dozens of miles in radius and the whole secret realm was covered by a few dozen blocks.

These were centers of research of the Xander family. As the strongest of the three prime families, the Xanders were a force to be reckoned with, humbled only by the military.

However, even the military couldn't discount the Xanders' research wing.

Be it funding, talent scouting, nurturing, resources—ask for it and you'd have it all. Of course, the prerequisite was that you were talented enough.

The top scientists could even move their scientific bases to the guardian islands and marry into the Xander family.
