Chapter 86: Tour of the $5 Million Apartment || Date (iii)
Waller held out the keycard. "Here. You’ll need to register your biometrics—eye scan, voiceprint, and palm. Lock’s not set yet, so you can just swipe this for now."
"I’ll do that later," Xavier muttered, taking the card and gesturing toward the door. "You coming in?"
"Damn right I am. You think I’d let you see this beauty without a proper tour?" Waller chuckled and walked ahead.
The door slid open with a light chime, revealing the interior.
And Xavier just froze.
Reva let out a low whistle behind him.
Waller laughed, "Yeah. That was my reaction too the first time."
They stepped inside, and it was like entering another world.
"This," Waller said with a theatrical wave of his hand, "is the main hall. Bigger than an entire block of your old second-floor neighborhood. You could park five cars here and still have enough space left to throw a party."
The ceiling stretched up high, layered in strips of programmable lights that adapted to mood and time of day. The walls were lined with sleek panels—tinted glass, soft glows pulsing beneath their surface. One side of the hall opened into a panoramic window wall, showing the cyberpunk skyline. Towers rising like giants, hover-ads blinking in neon hues, traffic streams moving mid-air in layered circuits.
Xavier walked to the window, eyeing the curved transparent interface embedded in the glass. A HUD blinked faintly into view—weather, security cam feeds, city alerts.
