LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 207: Jimmy
Jimmy's Home POV...
"Where are you going at this time?"Jimmy's mother sleepy voice broke the silence. She stood at the doorway of her room, rubbing her eyes as she looked at her son.
Her brows furrowed with concern, and the soft light from the hallway illuminated the worry etched on her face.
"I'll be back in the morning. Something important came up,"Jimmy replied, grabbing his car keys from the hook near the wall.He avoided her gaze, his voice steady but distant.
"Something important? What could be so urgent this late at night?" she asked, stepping closer. Her voice trembled slightly, her maternal instincts already sensing trouble."Don't tell me you're going back to those fights, Jimmy. I told you no, I begged you to leave that life behind!" Tears welled up in her eyes, her hands clutching the edge of the doorframe for support."You promised me, didn't you?You swore you'd stop."
Jimmy froze in his tracks, his hand tightening around the car keys. He turned halfway, his expression conflicted as he looked at his mother"Mom… it's not like that,"he said, his voice softer now, though firm."I've left that world behind. I promise you This is something else. Something really important."
Tears spilled down her cheeks"Jimmy, please. You don't have to go. Stay here. Stay with me. Whatever it is, let it go…"
Jimmy sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping for a brief moment. Seeing her like this broke something inside him, but he knew there was no turning back"I'm sorry, Mom,"he said quietly. "But I have to do this."
Without another word, he turned and walked out of the house, leaving his mother standing in the doorway,her face etched with pain.
"Don't…"she whisperd, her voice breaking as she watched him leave. Her trembling hands covered her mouth as she shut her eyes tightly,her heart heavy with dread.

Outside Jimmy Home
Jimmy climbed into his red sedan, his movements slow and deliberate. He started the engine and pulled out of the driveway,the hum of the car blending into the quiet of the night.As he drove, his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly,his knuckles white with tension.The streetlights blurred past, but his mind was elsewhere.
"Im sorry, Mom,"he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the sound of the engine"But once youre in this world…there is no way out." Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

the Alleyway
Jimmy arrived at his destination a desolate alleyway lined with crumbling buildings.The place reeked of neglect, the faint scent of damp concrete lingering in the cold air. He parked his car near an old, weathered door that led to what seemed like a private bathroom.
Stepping out of the car, Jimmy glanced around to ensure no one was watching. Satisfied, he entered the dimly lit bathroom The air inside was stale, and the cracked tiles on the walls told of decades of wear and tear.
Without hesitation, he walked to the corner and pressed the flush button seven times in quick succession.A low mechanical hum echoed through the room as the ground beneath his feet began to shift. Slowly, the floor slid downward like a hidden elevator, carrying Jimmy into the depths below.

Underground Room
After several minutes, the sliding platform came to a halt, revealing a small underground room about 100 square feet in size.The room was barren, with rough, exposed brick walls that looked as though they might crumble at any moment. The faint hum of machinery could be heard in the background.
Jimmy walked toward a specific section of the wall,his movements purposeful. He pressed three bricks in a specific sequence, and with a soft woosh, the wall began to shift.Bricks slid aside like pieces of a puzzle, revealing a hidden, high tech shelf embedded within the wall.
The shelf gleamed under the faint fluorescent light, its pristine glass and sleek white frame a stark contrast to the rustic surroundings. Inside, an arsenal of weapons and gadgets was meticulously arranged rifles, sniper guns, machine guns, daggers,grenades, and even futuristic-looking pistols of varying sizes. Alongside the weapons were colorful bracelets blue, red, green,and purple stacked neatly in rows.
Jimmy let out a heavy sigh."I knew these would come in handy someday"he muttered to himself, his voice low.
He reached for an AK 47 and slung it over his right shoulder with practiced ease.Then, he grabbed an A16 rifle and strapped it across his left shoulder. Two Glock pistols followed, tucked securely into the waistband of his pants. Finally, he picked up a blue bracelet and snapped it onto his right wrist.
He paused, his eyes lingering on a small, three-inch pistol on the shelf. For a moment, he debated whether to take it, his fingers twitching with hesitation. But before he could decide
Click.
A sudden metallic sound echoed through the room.
Jimmy froze,his instincts kicking in. In one swift motion, he drew a Glock from his waistband and aimed it toward the direction of the sound.
"Who's there?"he demanded, his voice low and threatening.His eyes scanned the dimly lit room, every muscle in his body tense.
The silence stretched broken only by the faint hum of machinery. Beads of sweat formed on Jimmy's brow as he tightened his grip on the pistol. He had been in countless dangerous situations before,but this felt different. Whoever or whatever was there was deliberately hiding, and that made them dangerous.
"Show yourself," Jimmy growled taking a cautious step forward,his Glock unwavering in his hand.
"Yo, calm down, motherfucker. Why do you always act like a scared little girl?" A familiar voice chuckled from the shadows. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in dudes. But if I were… I'd be gentle, hehe."
