Chapter 18

"Saw it... they've already rested for a while."

On the top floor of a building, several men and women were sitting together talking, while at the edge of the rooftop, a bearded man was carefully looking into the distance with binoculars, speaking to the others behind him as he watched.

Among the group, a yellow-skinned young man smiled and said, "It's still early. If this really is the 'Skydome Cataclysm,' then according to the plot, the aliens should arrive around 4:30 a.m. It's only a little after three now, so this is the perfect time for us to discuss our plan a bit more."

A handsome, middle-aged white man among them laughed and said, "This is really crazy, even crazier than I imagined. I can't believe I'm actually planning a kidnapping with others. If my grandfather found out, he'd definitely kill me."

After he said this, a young woman beside him teased, "Why? Because you're committing a crime?"

The middle-aged man smiled but didn't have time to answer before the yellow-skinned young man replied first, "Of course not. The reason his grandfather would kill him is because his criminal methods are too naive. For a direct heir of the Evans family, even if he wanted to kidnap or kill someone, he would never go in person. That's way too dangerous, and honestly, it's embarrassing. All he has to do is say the word, and there would be hundreds or thousands of people willing to commit any crime he wants, even if it means dying for him."

The young woman looked utterly surprised and exclaimed, "No way! Your family is that powerful? Aren't you a doctor? Are doctor families really that powerful?"

"That's the Evans family we're talking about."

This time, the strong black man in the group spoke up: "Girl, you're not in the same world as him. Neither are we. He's the direct heir of the powerful Evans family. That's... let me put it this way: do you know who the richest person in the world is?"

The woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I used to know, but not now. I think it used to be an American named Bill, who did computer software. Is that the one?"

The strong black man chuckled, "That's right, he was the richest for a while. But let me put it this way, girl: the world's richest man... is just a mere upstart in the eyes of families like Evans, not even a real upstart. You have to understand, most of the world's economy, politics, and military are actually controlled by these powerful families. Of course, compared to most of the hidden families, there are also famous ones like the Morgans, and Evans is a super family on par with the Morgans."

The woman swallowed hard and looked cautiously at the middle-aged man, "No way! You're really that important? Oh my god, that means you're even more powerful than presidents and prime ministers, right?"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, pinched his nose, and said, "J is exaggerating a bit, but... I guess that's not wrong."

Henry Clark smiled from the side and said, "Actually, the truth is even more exaggerated than that, Jenny. Do you think just anyone can book a presidential suite at a five-star hotel? And with several people whose identities can't be verified, like our group this time? Do you think just anyone can, in half a day, find such a perfect underground shelter and prepare enough food, medical equipment, surveillance gear, and weapons? That's the power of the Evans family."

The woman suddenly understood, but then she seemed to remember something and quickly waved her hands, "Wait, I'm getting confused by you guys... I get what you mean, the Evans family is really powerful, maybe even one of the true rulers of the world. But you have to be clear, this is the Reincarnation World, the world of Skydome Cataclysm. Are you saying the Evans family exists in this world too?"

Henry Clark chuckled, rubbed his brow, stood up from the ground, and said, "You're only thinking of this now? In fact, within minutes of leaving that protective barrier, he had already contacted his family headquarters, and yesterday he met with family members. Otherwise, why do you think he's with us? It's because... he's already confirmed that this really is the world of Skydome Cataclysm, that the Reincarnation World is real. Being with us... gives him the best chance of survival, Jenny. You really underestimate a super family's heir."
