With a snap of his fingers, the office door swung open of its own accord. The ice-encased foreign youth at Adam's feet levitated, drifting into the office and hovering beside the trio.As he came to a stop, still suspended in mid-air, the layers of ice encasing him refracted the light, casting a kaleidoscope of colors.Donald, Louis, and Jonathan's eyes bulged in disbelief.Never had they witnessed such an otherworldly phenomenon. How could a human levitate objects without external force? This was no mere magnetic levitation!Jonathan, in particular, stood frozen in shock. Wasn't this youth bouncing around outside the door just moments ago? How had he been transformed into a human icicle so swiftly? Such rapid freezing technology was unheard of, even on a global scale!A terrifying thought simultaneously seized the minds of all three: Was this masked Elysian youth human, demon, or perhaps... a god?"My, why so silent? Weren't you eagerly discussing my demise earlier? Here I am, right

"Excellent! Excellent!" Donald exclaimed, thoroughly impressed by the impenetrable defense. The Elysian youth would have no escape, likely to be annihilated without a trace.Vice President Louis nodded in satisfaction. With such a comprehensive strategy, how could the Elysian youth possibly survive?The night passed uneventfully.Early the next morning, Evan rose, completed his ablutions, and knocked on Adam's door. "Adam, are you coming out?"A weak voice responded from within, "Mr. Smith, can I stay behind? I think I ate something bad last night. My stomach hurts."Evan shook his head. "Shall I break down the door and drag you out like yesterday?""No, no! Yesterday was embarrassing enough."Adam hastily opened the door, revealing himself clad in an immaculate suit."Are you going to a blind date or a battle?" Evan asked, bemused.Adam muttered, "I want to die with dignity.""..." Evan was speechless.They left the hotel and rented an off-road vehicle for Death Valley. Before enteri

The rockets, propelled toward him at blinding speed, were the first to meet the frost. The moment they touched the icy wave, they were sealed in a thick layer of ice, losing all momentum and plummeting uselessly to the ground.The helicopters, still a kilometer away, had no time to react before the frost crept up their rotors, freezing the entire aircraft solid. Inside, the members of SEAL Team Two were frozen in place, their expressions locked in wide-eyed shock, encased in the same thick ice.One by one, the helicopters fell from the sky, crashing to the ground with deafening explosions.*Kaboom!*The earth erupted in a series of fiery blasts, sending shockwaves of heat and brilliant flashes of light into the air. The elite sixteen members of SEAL Team Two were annihilated, just like their predecessors."Is this... is this a god?"Everyone was paralyzed, their faces frozen in disbelief. They trembled as if witnessing a myth come to life.Ten attack helicopters, eighty rockets—firepo

He was trapped. Aleria truly had no way out—just as Evan had said. The trade war had pushed the country’s economy to the brink of collapse. They were on the verge of losing everything.Yet surrendering their sovereignty was no small matter—especially handing it over to a boy from Elysia who wasn’t even twenty years old. Even if he were a god, this was not something to be taken lightly."Mr. President, please reconsider," Jonathan interjected, his voice urgent. "This boy is a god. Perhaps under his leadership, Aleria will flourish. I did some research last night—under this boy's guidance, TikToC and Lumina City have risen to become the world’s leading enterprises."Jonathan’s plea brought Donald out of his reverie.Last night, Jonathan had indeed looked into Evan’s mysterious influence. What he found had baffled him, but what shocked him even more was this: Evan, though the hidden hand behind Lumina City and TikToC, rarely interfered in their day-to-day operations. He only guided the o

On the other end, Timothy Daniels became anxious, raising his voice: "Come on! The whole class is going to be there, why are you the only one being difficult? Don’t worry, I’ll cover the bill tonight—it won’t cost you a dime!"In the background, Evan could hear the murmurs of a few other male classmates, though faint, his heightened senses picked up every word clearly."We have to get Evan to come! Without him, we can’t make a proper comparison. We can’t just compare ourselves to each other!""Exactly! We need him there! You know, back in high school, even Violet Mills, the class beauty, had a crush on him. Tonight, I’m going to tell her: ‘See? What good did his looks do? Meanwhile, I started my own business right after graduation, and now I’m worth millions!’""I heard Evan went to college, can you believe it? But I also heard he had to borrow money from his parents to pay for tuition. Maybe we should all chip in to sponsor him a bit tonight. Hahaha.""…"Hmph. Just as I thought, Eva
