Before the soiree was over, Herschel strode back into the hallway and nodded at Javier. He had not tried to hide it from prying eyes, so Adolf caught it and knew the demigod he used to know existed no more.It was terrifying. They were all outwardly humans, and Adolf himself was commonly regarded as one of the world’s elites. Now, however, he knew there was more to it. Some people were simply born to be godlike. He had always thought George was the only one like that, but now, that seemed like a premature conclusion. At the very least, he now knew Javier was one of them and that he was even more of a god than George ever could be.He sidled up to Javier, a little frightened and intimidated, but ultimately mustered enough guts to admit, “Mr. Kersey, I’d like to work for you.”Javier laughed. He knew what Adolf meant. He was hoping to work for him so he could climb that social ladder. The world did not lack like-minded people, and they had all swarmed toward Javier too. However, few c

“You…didn’t secretly study all this before we left, right?” Suzanne asked aloud, feeling shocked. The breadth of his encyclopedic knowledge was just too hard to believe.Javier smiled and nodded. “Definitely! I even learned how to predict the future last night. That’s how I knew ahead of time that we were gonna visit Gauthe’s residence.”Suzanne knew he was joking. Javier would never learn any form of augury, and it was even more impossible for him to have known that she would want to visit Gauthe’s house. It had been a spur-of-the-moment request on her side, as Javier had never made any formal traveling plans.In other words, Javier had not been secretly memorizing trivia about Gauthe—he was genuinely a pro.As the two of them talked among themselves, another foreign couple stepped closer to them. Judging by their conversation and the language they used, they were Chineans too. The woman, Mallory Cadman, told her boyfriend, “I’ve never read Fowst before, but I know it’s like, supe

Traveling these days allowed Javier and Suzanne to interact more.Suzanne was deeply impressed by Javier’s profound knowledge. She did not know how his head could store all this stuff. It was like he knew everything. Her instinct as a medical researcher even filled her with the impulse of dissecting his head. She ought to study if Javier’s head was battery-charged and contained a microcomputer in there.Javier grew to like Suzanne even more as well. The woman was kind and intelligent, a little sly at times. Women like her were popular among men, so the reason she had not been dating all these years must be due to her concentration in medical research—not that she was purely chasing after wealth.Nathaniel had promised her before that as long as she fulfilled a certain number of years working for him, he would let her put her name on one of the patents. That was why Suzanne had been working so hard and did not even have the time for a boyfriend. She wanted to prove her worth!There

That night, Javier did not return to his room but slept with Suzanne. Even then, nothing actually happened between them as Javier chose to respect Suzanne’s wishes.Of course, it also had to do with the lab being abandoned after he offended Suzanne back then.After returning from the overseas trip, the assembled equipment arrived soon after them. Usually, the vice CEO would send such a huge order over. Still, Javier was obviously not a usual case to Heinfensmirtz Inc. Adolf sent it personally and promised that there would be a 60% discount when the rest of the equipment would be sent over within half a month.The discount was shocking—taking 96 million dollars off 160 million dollars—so Javier could not help asking, “You’re done being the CEO, is that the case?”Adolf was determined. “Even if the board of directors kicked me out, I stand firm to show my favor to you, Mr. Kersey. I strongly believe that you’re my lucky star.”Javier chuckled. “What if I watch you get kicked out a

Steve was terrified. He never thought in a million years that the huge gift Javier had meant would turn out to be such a thing.Although the photo of him having a meal with a certain higher-up was not enough to prove anything, he had no idea what other things Javier’s huge gift contained, which was the point that terrified him the most.After successfully gaining Steve’s attention, Javier packed up his things and was about to leave.Of course, there was no way Steven would allow Javier to walk away, so he hurriedly stood up to stop him.“Hang on, my friend, please. That’s a rather wonderful gift you’ve got there. May I see it first?”Javier smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Mr. Collings? Are you interested in my gift now? You didn’t seem to think much about it just now, though!”Steven smiled in embarrassment, seeming especially apologetic. “I didn’t realize your gift would pack such a huge punch.”Javier continued. “So, you want to know if there’s anything that packs an even
