Returning to Dominate The World With My Knowledge System-Chapter 101: Vacation Plans

After gaming with Devin, watching movies and talking with his mom, it was already evening and time for dinner.

Dinner was warm and full of soft conversation, the kind that could only exist around a table where everyone felt at peace.

Helena served up more food without needing to be asked, and Devin went back for a second helping of plantains like it was a routine.

Tyler didn’t mind. He hadn’t eaten like this in months. His appetite, once dulled by long days in Gumua, returned with full force.

As Helena was pouring a bit more juice into his glass, Tyler set down his fork and cleared his throat. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I was thinking," he said, "maybe we could take a trip. Just the three of us."

Helena looked up mid-pour, and Devin tilted his head in curiosity.

"A trip?" Helena asked.

"Yeah," Tyler said. "Somewhere far. The Caribbean, maybe. We could go relax for a while."

He half-expected resistance. The last time he brought up the idea of a vacation, Helena had dismissed it as unnecessary and dangerous. But this time, to his surprise, her expression shifted into something softer, looking almost excited.

"I actually love that idea," she said.

Tyler blinked. "Really?"

She smiled. "I was already thinking about something like that. With your birthday coming up and everything, I wanted to do something special. I just hadn’t figured out what yet."

At the mention of his birthday, Tyler froze.

He glanced at Devin, who was already grinning. Then at his mom, whose smile had turned knowing.

"You forgot, didn’t you?" she said.

Tyler gave a guilty chuckle. "I... yeah. I’ve had a lot on my plate."

Helena shook her head and tapped his hand lightly. "You always do. That’s why I want this vacation to happen. Not just for me and Devin—but for you. You need it more than either of us."

She has been planning to get him something as a gift for his birthday but she has no idea what to get for him.

Tyler was already rich. Rich enough to get himself the latest and best car, phone, gaming console, PC rig setup and even a house.

So, what could she possibly get him? She had been thinking about this for a couple of days now but she still hasn’t thought of what to get him. But she immediately thought of something when Tyler mentioned a vacation to the Carribeans. She still hasn’t gotten a definite of what she will get him but she already has an idea.

Tyler nodded at his mother’s words. Her words hit harder than he expected. He had been pushing himself nonstop for nearly a year. If anyone needed time to breathe, it was him.

Devin leaned forward. "So, the Caribbean, huh? Like... beaches, coconuts, jet skis?"

Tyler smirked. "Exactly. I’ll make the arrangements. We’ll leave in two days."

Helena looked genuinely pleased, and Devin pumped his fist like he’d just scored a winning goal.

The conversation shifted back to food and music and things they’d missed while Tyler was away. And just like that, the vacation plan was set.

After dinner, the atmosphere stayed light and easy. Tyler and Devin moved to the living room and picked up the game controller again. For the next few hours, laughter and competitive shouting echoed through the house.

It was past midnight when Helena finally gave them both a tired wave and went to bed. Devin lasted another thirty minutes before collapsing on the couch with a yawn.

"Night, bro," he muttered, standing up and going up to his room.

"Night."

Tyler went upstairs to his room. The lights were off, but the faint blue glow from his phone charger lit the wall.

He picked up his phone from the desk and noticed the string of messages waiting on the lock screen.

He had kept it on silent all day to avoid distractions.

He opened them one by one. And they were all from Freya.

{Status report on the fabrication progress. As of this evening: 107 Valkyrie-X GPUs, 98 DRAM modules, and 95 NVMe-based DRAMs completed. Production remains stable. It’s still a long way from the target but they are getting there.}

The numbers made him smile. They were inching forward steadily. At this rate, the server would begin taking form in another three to four months.

The next message followed shortly after.

{I’ve already made travel preparation for your vacation. I chose Barbados. I hope you will like it. I also made the necessary arrangements. Transportation from your residence to the airport. A private jet has been scheduled for Thursday. Ground transport for when you arrive at Barbados and luxury villa accommodations have also been arranged. Along with full local assistance.}

Tyler raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t given Freya the full go-ahead yet, but she had acted anyway—and precisely as he would have done himself.

And there was more.

{I have contacted David and instructed him to arrange the operatives’ meeting at a separate resort close to the one you will be staying in Barbados. You can meet with them and also enjoy your family vacation. Their flights have been scheduled and they will begin arriving within 48–72 hours.}

Tyler paused.

Freya had anticipated not just his needs, but his timing, coordination requirements, and even emotional context. That kind of initiative was rare. It was beyond impressive.

There was one more message but it wasn’t a report. It was actually a question.

{Master, what would you like for your birthday?}

Tyler was quite surprised by it and he had read it twice to confirm that he had read it correctly.

"Anything is fine, Freya," he messaged back.

He also thanked her for making the arrangements.

Almost instantly, Freya responded.

{Understood. I will prepare something you will love.}

Tyler smiled at the message. He loved how Freya’s personality was coming together. It made all the more curious to see how much she would grow after attaining AGI level. And he could already guess how much of a monster she would.

His smiled widened as he thought of it. He dropped his phone on the nightstand and walked to the bathroom to take his bath.

After he was done, he got into bed, pulled the covers over himself, let out a slow breath, and closed his eyes.

Feeling very exhausted, he fell asleep immediately.
