United States,
Today, an unprecedented and startling event was unfolding in the history of Harvard University.
For the past three hours, business management students at Harvard University had been attending a lecture on a topic that, until recently, had existed only as a rumor and a fantastical story known across the globe.
As the lecture concluded, the elderly professor adjusted his glasses and, with a deliberate pause, said, "So, students, I am aware that many questions must be racing through your minds. You must be wondering why you are being taught about Rockwave and why this lecture is even happening. To be clear, I do not have the answers to these questions either. An order was issued from above, and I, too, was compelled to give this lecture. The reasoning behind it remains a mystery to me. However, if any of you have doubts or questions regarding Rockwave, feel free to ask."
At the professor's words, the students—still in shock after learning about Rockwave—snapped back to attention.
One student, wide-eyed, asked, "So, you mean, the rumors were true, Professor? Rockwave isn't just a fictional tale, a mere myth? A secret society named Rockwave really exists?"
With a smile, the professor replied, "Yes, indeed. The secret society known as Rockwave exists in reality. There is nothing fabricated or rumor-based about it. While Rockwave once concealed its power and presence from the world, last night an announcement was made in all educational institutions worldwide: an additional lecture would be given about Rockwave. From kindergarten through to college, every student would now be taught about it, in different formats, through various syllabi and lectures."
The professor's words created an electric stir throughout the classroom. Nearly every student present had heard whispers and stories about Rockwave, but none could have fathomed that such a supreme power actually existed.
Another student, his curiosity piqued, asked, "Professor, is it true that the rumors about Bella Richard, the chairperson of Infosys, and Rockwave—were they accurate? Did Bella Richard truly serve as the president of Rockwave?"
With a serious tone, the professor answered, "Indeed, it is true. Bella Richard once served as the president of Rockwave. She was the second most powerful person on this Earth. However, due to a security breach, Bella Richard's identity was revealed, and, according to Rockwave's strict rules, she was forced to resign."
Upon hearing this revelation, a wave of goosebumps spread across the room.
Rockwave, a force so powerful, its reach surpassed anything the world could imagine.
It was even said that before assuming office, presidents and leaders of the world's most powerful nations would first report to Rockwave's highest authority. To be the president of Rockwave was no ordinary feat.
The individual who held the position of president at Rockwave controlled the entire High Chair. In simple terms, the president of Rockwave held more influence than the leaders of countries like the United States.
As enthusiasts of the business world, every student in the room knew about Bella Richard, the queen of the business sphere.
For many, she was a source of inspiration and admiration.
The realization that she had once wielded such immense power stirred excitement among the students.
It was indeed extraordinary for a woman to possess such a commanding force.
A boy with curly hair asked, "Professor, if we wish to join Rockwave, what must we do?"
With a slight smile, the professor responded, "Rockwave is not something you can choose, my child. It is Rockwave that chooses you."
The professor's words left the students deep in thought, though they couldn't fully grasp the meaning behind them.
One student pressed, "Professor, what exactly do you mean? I don't quite understand."
The professor explained, "What I mean is that no one can join Rockwave of their own volition. Rockwave has its own recruitment strategy. It chooses and recruits individuals, not the other way around. If Rockwave selects you, it means you are special—extraordinarily special."
Hearing this, a student inquired, "But Professor, surely there must be some criteria to be selected by Rockwave?"
The professor responded, "No, there is no specific criterion."
"But if there are no criteria, then how does Rockwave choose someone? If capable individuals are never chosen, then what happens?" a girl voiced her confusion and concern.
With a faint smile, the professor responded, "Do not forget what Rockwave truly is. Rockwave's gaze is upon the entire world. It holds such power that it can change everything about you—from your appearance to your tastes. Choosing the worthy is something Rockwave does better than you or I could ever do. Now, if there are no further questions on this topic, I will take my leave."
The professor's words left the students somewhat disappointed. They yearned to know how one could join Rockwave, but the professor had left them with little clarity.
Meanwhile,
A luxury car sped through the streets of France.
Whether human or object, nothing seemed to matter to the person driving the car. The vehicle continued to bulldoze everything in its path without hesitation.
Perhaps the driver had lost his mental composure, or perhaps he was drunk, but the truly astonishing part was not this. The surprising part was that, in a country as disciplined as France, no police or citizen dared to intervene.
In fact, when the traffic police saw the car's license plate, they raised the barrier and directed pedestrians away from the road.
Within moments, the car sliced through the air, heading into the forest, and the people of Paris sighed in relief.
A teenager, standing by the roadside, glared at the speeding car and muttered, "What the hell? Who was that crazy person? Doesn't he see what he's doing?"
Before he could finish, his father quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Quiet. Didn't you see? That car belonged to the Richard family. If anyone hears you, we're done for. Let's go home."
"But Dad, the car almost hit me."
"Almost hit you? It didn't, did it? Now, let's go," his father said with a stern look, pulling him away.
The teenager turned to look at the car, which had disappeared into the forest.
He muttered irritably, "Dad, is our country not independent anymore?"
"It is, but our government is no match for Bella Richard's power," his father murmured under his breath, sighing coldly.
Meanwhile,
The car had broken through the gates of the French Army Base, heading into the compound.
