Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257 Gold
The moment that name left his mouth, complete silence filled the room.
Several women stared at him with wide eyes.
Others looked completely stunned.
A few even wondered whether they had heard him correctly.
Ross Oakley?
That Ross Oakley?
The man whose name had once dominated news headlines across the world?
The lottery winner.
The basketball phenomenon.
The internet celebrity.
The famous actor and director.
The man whose life story had become known to hundreds of millions of people.
Everyone had heard of Ross Oakley at some point.
Even if they had never followed his story closely, they still recognized the name.
The problem was that the man sitting before them looked nothing like the Ross Oakley they remembered.
In the old videos and photographs, Ross had possessed an ordinary appearance.
He wasn’t ugly.
He wasn’t exceptionally handsome either.
He looked like a normal young man.
The current Ross, however, was something else entirely.
The difference was so great that nobody would have connected the two without being told.
His appearance seemed almost unreal.
The women found themselves staring at him repeatedly during the conversation.
Every angle of his face appeared flawless.
His skin seemed perfect.
His eyes possessed a mysterious charm that drew attention effortlessly.
His jawline looked as though it had been sculpted by a master artist.
Even simple actions like smiling or speaking carried a natural elegance that made him appear extraordinary.
Several women secretly wondered whether such beauty should even be possible.
The longer they looked at him, the more unbelievable it became.
One woman eventually laughed helplessly.
“If you hadn’t told me yourself, I would never have believed it.”
The others quickly nodded.
They shared the same thoughts.
The Ross Oakley from before and the Ross Oakley sitting before them now seemed like two completely different people.
If Ross were to walk through a crowd, thousands of people would notice him instantly.
Not because of his fame.
Not because of his power.
Simply because his appearance demanded attention.
In fact, calling him handsome almost felt insufficient.
The word itself seemed too weak.
Handsome described movie stars.
Handsome described celebrities.
Handsome described models.
Ross had already surpassed those categories entirely.
He looked less like an ordinary human being and more like a masterpiece that should only exist in myths and legends.
If Ross claimed to be the second most handsome man in existence, none of the women would dare argue.
The reason was simple.
They genuinely could not imagine anyone more attractive than him.
Such a person would have to surpass perfection itself.
And perfection, by definition, could not be improved.
Even among a million survivors gathered in one place, Ross stood out like a blazing sun among countless stars.
No matter where he went, attention naturally followed him.
Whether people loved him, feared him, envied him, or admired him, they could not ignore him.
Ross Oakley had always been extraordinary.
Now, after everything that had happened, he had become something even greater.
A man who seemed destined to stand above the rest of humanity.
It did not take long for the crowd to notice Ross Oakley’s arrival.
The moment he stepped into view, heads began turning one after another. Conversations died down as people stared in disbelief.
“Wait… is that really Ross Oakley?!”
“No way! It can’t be!”
“It is him! I’d recognize that face anywhere!”
The crowd quickly became excited.
“I can’t believe it. He looks like a superstar!”
“A superstar? Are you blind? He was already a superstar before the apocalypse. Now he looks like some kind of heavenly prince descended to the mortal world!”
“Seriously, there isn’t anyone who can compare to him anymore.”
People whispered among themselves while stealing glances at Ross.
His appearance had always been exceptional, but after gaining power and evolving multiple times, his presence had become overwhelming.
Every movement seemed effortless and confident. Simply standing there made him the center of attention.
However, not everyone was focused on Ross alone.
Many eyes soon shifted toward the women accompanying him.
“Heh, who cares about superstars anymore?” one man scoffed. “This isn’t the old world. Fame doesn’t matter now. Power is what matters.”
His gaze wandered toward Ross’s wives.
The women walking beside him were stunning.
Each possessed beauty capable of turning heads wherever they went.
Their confidence, elegance, and powerful auras only made them even more captivating.
Many men in the crowd found themselves unable to look away.
“You talk big,” another man replied. “But do you really think that’s something you should be staring at?”
The first man frowned.
“What do you mean?”
The second man pointed toward the soldiers surrounding Ross.
“Look around. Every one of those men is armed to the teeth.”
Several people immediately looked.
Ross’s followers stood in disciplined formations around him.
They carried advanced firearms and wore high-quality armor that radiated strength and authority.
Their expressions remained cold and alert as they scanned the surroundings.
One glance was enough to make many people nervous.
“And those are only the guards you can see,” the second man continued. “Who knows how many powerful ability users are hidden among them? If someone causes trouble, they’ll probably be dead before they can even react.”
The first man swallowed.
“Good point.”
“Exactly. Ross Oakley isn’t some celebrity protected by bodyguards anymore. He’s one of the most powerful people on the planet.”
The surrounding crowd nodded in agreement.
Many of them had heard the stories.
Ross defeating powerful enemies.
Ross establishing his own faction.
Ross leading survivors through impossible situations.
Ross obtaining treasures and abilities that ordinary people could only dream about.
His reputation had spread across countless settlements and survivor communities.
To many people, he had already become a living legend.
“Look at the people following him,” someone else remarked.
Thousands of survivors accompanied Ross’s group.
Their equipment was superior.
Their morale was high.
Most importantly, they looked safe.
In a world filled with monsters, zombies, and danger, that alone inspired envy.
“I wish I could join his faction.”
“You’re not the only one.”
“I heard his territory back on Earth was one of the safest places left.”
“It probably is. Just look at them.”
The discussions continued endlessly as Ross walked through the area.
Meanwhile, Ross himself paid little attention to the stares and whispers.
He had long since grown accustomed to being the center of attention.
The people around him could only watch in awe as he continued forward, surrounded by his wives, children, trusted followers, and loyal soldiers.
The scene looked less like a group of survivors and more like the procession of a king returning from conquest.
