Go Back and I Rule There novel Chapter 2

“I’ll be checking it for everyone tomorrow in the community square,” Rosalind announced calmly. “Remember to steep your herbal packs, and don’t stay up all night binge-watching that new series—the queen isn't going to die.”

Lately, the residents of the complex had become obsessed with a popular period drama.

At Rosalind's reminder, they all looked sheepish. “We’ll… we’ll be in bed by ten from now on.”

No one who knew them from their past lives would ever imagine this group of formidable figures being so obedient to one person.

Many of them were decorated veterans and officials whose identities were now classified.

Horace, the community manager, had been eagerly awaiting her return. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Cure-Master Martinez, I’ve been keeping an eye on your apartment, just like you asked. No one’s been near it.”

“Thank you. I appreciate it.” Rosalind, ever polite, handed him a bag of fruit.

Horace accepted it with a wide grin. “It’s no trouble at all, helping you out. I hope this means you’re not leaving again anytime soon?” He, a mere manager, could hardly keep this lot in line.

“Mmm,” Rosalind took the keys. “I’m not leaving.”

Horace beamed. “That’s wonderful! Well, I’ll let you get settled in. Just let me know if you need anything.”

Rosalind nodded.

After Horace left, she used the key to unlock the door.

The lock was old and worn, seemingly ordinary.

But as she turned the first lock, a sleek digital keypad lit up on the door.

“Activate iris scan?” a voice prompted.

“Yes,” Rosalind replied nonchalantly.

“Scanning iris. Please wait…”

“Scan complete.”

“Welcome home.”

The polite, electronic voice hadn't been activated in a long time.

With a soft click, the heavy metal door swung open automatically.

The interior instantly lit up.
