Illyss had done many things and met many people.
But she had rarely met anyone like Chen Xi.
When Chen Xi rescued her from the water, his expression had been extremely calm.
Her presence there would normally raise suspicion, yet he had shown no hint of it.
So…
Illyss thought, and her gaze involuntarily dropped downward.
It was highly likely that her identity had already been guessed by him.
The reason he hadn't exposed her might be that he was planning something.
Illyss was not foolish, and now, both sides were merely acting.
It was a matter of seeing who could win in the end.
How interesting.
A curve formed on Illyss's lips.
Perhaps because she had now abandoned her divinity, she had acquired more human traits.
Illyss continued observing Chen Xi.
Meanwhile, Chen Xi had been summoned by the U.S. government.
"Why are they calling you over at a time like this?"
Wanda spoke, slightly displeased: "Whenever there's a crisis, they push everything onto you, like a scared little turtle. And now, they suddenly appear again—it feels like they have ulterior motives."
"No matter what, the world still needs laws. Continuing the existing system isn't a problem," Chen Xi said casually, while Qinglei adjusted his clothes.
His tone carried a certain nonchalance.
If Chen Xi were to create a new set of laws, he knew he didn't have the mind to manage it.
The U.S. government wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly good either.
Chen Xi frowned slightly. He felt that this trip would probably be troublesome—not because he feared trouble, but because it wouldn't be interesting enough.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Wanda whispered in his ear.
Chen Xi smiled: "I'm an adult man. I'm not heading into a dragon's den—just some ordinary humans. I can handle all of this myself, so you don't need to worry."
After confirming his clothes were in order, Chen Xi left and drove straight to the city center.
He quickly arrived at the government offices. Upon his appearance, someone immediately came to escort him into the meeting room.
"Chen Xi, Mr. Chen, you finally arrived. We've been waiting for a while."
Once Chen Xi entered, everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.
Chen Xi's expression remained calm.
Not only calm, he casually looked at the time and naturally said: "Looks like I'm not late. I'm actually five minutes early."
The politicians, who had been about to speak, immediately fell silent.
They were dissatisfied with Chen Xi's current status, yet powerless to act against him—they didn't want to become his enemy.
"Recently, many mutants have disrupted human society. Mr. Chen doesn't seem to have the time to manage everything."
"Don't blame us for meddling; we only want to make society more stable."
"Although you successfully saved everything, the actions of these mutants cannot be ignored. They're very dangerous. Without laws targeting them…"
"…"
Chen Xi listened as they rambled, naturally nodding: "You're right. If you can create laws for them, then go ahead."
His expression remained indifferent.
The politicians had expected it would be difficult to convince Chen Xi. They never anticipated he would lightly agree without any objection.
They paused, wondering if they had heard him correctly.
If not mistaken, why was Chen Xi so calm?
This scene made them feel somewhat out of place with him.
"By the way, we have another matter."
One politician nervously licked his dry lips and spoke boldly: "The city above us, I've heard it's called Asgard. We don't know where they came from, but since it's on our land, shouldn't they follow our country's laws?"
Chen Xi looked at the politician who raised this point, thinking he was very brave.
He couldn't help but laugh: "You're right, indeed."
"So, Mr. Chen, what's your opinion?"
Seeing no opposition, the politicians grew excited and asked eagerly: "Mr. Chen, do you support what we are doing?"
"I support it," Chen Xi replied calmly.
"I think you all are very thoughtful and brave. If your suggestions benefit both sides, I have no reason to refuse, do I?"
The politicians, who had been a little anxious, now completely calmed down.
No issues—what's there to worry about?
"Mr. Chen, we've said everything we wanted to say. We won't trouble you further."
With that, Chen Xi stood up and left.
The politicians did not stop him—they had more urgent matters.
"Someone, come up with a plan quickly!"
They had to act fast to finalize matters, in case Chen Xi changed his mind.
If he did, their prior efforts would be meaningless.
After leaving, Chen Xi knew exactly how flustered the politicians would be.
But he didn't care.
Indeed, it was good to give humans something to keep them busy, so they wouldn't act recklessly.
Mutants had already caused enough chaos—ordinary humans shouldn't add to it.
Chen Xi got in his car, gently tapping the steering wheel with his fingers.
