He fell into step behind them and took Layla’s free hand. He hummed softly, “You two just left me back there–that was pretty cold.”

Layla and Shane exchanged a quick look and laughed quietly.

They made it back much sooner than everyone expected. Carson and the rest stared in surprise.

Carson’s sharp eyes picked up Shane’s much-healthier complexion right away.

He stepped forward to block Vanguard’s cameras and lowered his voice. “Shane’s healed? Is it because of the Starcore Essence?”

Layla nodded and leaned in close to his ear. “Shane couldn’t handle the massive energy from Starcore Essence before. We still don’t know why things are different now.”

Still, for Layla and her group, Shane’s full recovery was a wonderful, unexpected win.

Oliver took the chunk of Starcore Essence from Liam. He turned it over in his hands, and excitement lit up his eyes.

That energy felt extremely familiar-it matched exactly what he had sensed within the energy field.

Carson had tried to block the view, yet Vanguard still caught a small glimpse of the Starcore Essence. The live chat blew up instantly.

[What color was that thing General Hartwell was holding? It looks stunning.]

[I think I know what that is. My dad works in a research lab. That’s Starcore Essence, right?]

[Starcore Essence-the stuff that packs way more power than regular energy sources.]

[Yeah. That’s what they went out to find. Its energy output is enormous.]

[So that’s why Layla said Vanguard’s gear would get damaged?]

[Maybe not. What if she just doesn’t want anyone else to know and plans to keep it all for herself?]

Wild theories spread everywhere online once word got out about the discovered Starcore Essence.

Ciara had been following the whole broadcast. Greed burned bright in her eyes.

If Starcore Essence really existed on Planet A13, that planet could never fall into someone else’s hands.

She regretted not pouring most of the funding into the show from the very start.

If she had, she could claim full ownership of Planet A13 thanks to her majority shares.

Frustration gnawed at Ciara, but a new plan quickly formed in her mind.

The show’s final winner earned full ownership of Planet A13, and Stella was still in the competition.

Ciara felt confident Stella could take the final prize.

She immediately opened an internal comms line to reach Stella.

Surprise flashed across Stella’s face when she heard Ciara’s news, and excitement followed right after.

She asked, “Mom, is this real? There’s Starcore Essence on Planet A13?”

Ciara said firmly, “The whole live stream is talking about it. Layla is the one who found it.”

Joy faded from Stella’s eyes the second she learned Layla was behind the find. Sharp jealousy surged through her.

Why does luck always favor Layla? Every good thing keeps landing in her lap, and it just makes me burn with resentment.

Ciara missed Stella’s turbulent mood. She huffed and kept talking, “Take Julian with you. Find a way to drive off all the other contestants.”

The show’s timeline dragged on far too long, and Ciara had no patience to wait.

Stella glanced over at Julian standing nearby, doubt written across her features. “Julian alone won’t pull this off, Mom. Can you send more people to back us up?”

Ciara let out a heavy sigh, irritation plain on her face. “Scarlett is the person actually running the program now. She’s nothing like Fiona and Michael. She shuts down every under-the-table favor, no matter who makes the request.”

Ciara held no real influence over Scarlett.

Stella watched Ciara shake her head, and vicious bitterness flickered in her gaze.

She said. “Scarlett hit it off with Layla almost the second she arrived. If we don’t come up with

something, Layla will end up owning Planet A13 for sure.”

Those words made Ciara grow tense.
