After half an hour.

Ike escorted Claire to the door, watched her leave, and then turned back to his seat to pick up the newspaper in front of him again.

quite a while.

Ike stared at a photograph in the newspaper and sighed.

Tony Dinozo.

Yes.

The young man who rescued people from the fire with Ike last night is the future very special agent Tony Dinozo.

Then

The girl I rescued must be the black girl who was supposed to have perished in the fire.

Ike stroked his chin, looking at the photo of the rescued black girl, and thought to himself.

It was afternoon.

Quaker Stadium.

Ike is here this time to attend this year's National Honorary Student Award Ceremony as a party involved.

The National Honor Society was formally established in 1921 by the Association of Middle and High School Principals in the United States, and it has since become a national organization.

The National Honor Society recognizes students in grades 10 through 12 who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance, leadership skills, community service, and moral character.

Ike said he would gladly accept any trophy.

In fact, Ike had already been nominated by the school after that cruise ship accident.

However, Ekko's leveling speed was a bit too fast, but thankfully, he managed to wear the yellow and blue stripes at the graduation ceremony without any major incidents.

The yellow stripe indicates that Ike was an outstanding student at the Quaker school.

As for the blue one?

Just like the belt Ike is wearing right now, it symbolizes the title of National Honor Student Ike earned during his high school career.

After half an hour.

After the event ended, Ike immediately took off the ribbon along with his National Honor Student certificate, threw it into his backpack, and dashed to the library to find Chris reading a book.

Chris looked up and asked curiously, "Where's the blue ribbon?"

Ike patted his backpack.

Chris shrugged. "Unfortunately, I don't score high enough in community service."

Ike smiled slightly and whispered in Chris's ear, "It's okay, I can lend it to you when we're resting during our trip."

Chris gave Ike a charmingly disdainful look.

Ike smiled.

Ike found it easy to get along with Chris, and in some ways, he even became quite fond of her. However, all necessary safety measures were taken. It's just that every time Ike went to the pharmacy to restock, he would always give the white-bearded shopkeeper quite a fright.

There are ten pills in a box, and if you use one a day, it will last for ten days.

But Ike resupplyed every three days.

Without exception.

The day before yesterday, when Ike went to restock, the white-bearded shopkeeper mysteriously tried to sell Ike a blue bottle of something.

Ike flashed a bright white grin, tossed out a curt "No need," and dashed off. He could even feel the resentful, jealous, and disapproving gaze the white-bearded shopkeeper cast on his back after he left the pharmacy.

An hour later.

When Ike drove Chris to the shopping mall, Matt and Casey were already waiting for them at the outdoor cafe.

"Ike".

"Matt."

Ike and Chris walked over and greeted them. After they sat down, Ike looked at Chris and smiled, "Shall we split up?"

Chris tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded.

The graduation ball is in a few days.

According to statistics from a newspaper a few days ago, the average cost per student at the annual college prom, including photos, luxury cars, hairstyles, makeup, tickets, and a gown or tuxedo, is close to $820.

no way.

The local mainstream society attaches great importance to graduation prom. It's just one night, but just as East Asian parents are willing to spend a fortune on their children's education, local parents are willing to spend a fortune so that their children can have a perfect night and create the most beautiful memories of their lives.

Furthermore...

The graduation prom is essentially a lesson in testing children's social skills.

There is no cheating at the prom.

Social skills are not something that can be developed overnight, especially since a prom involves more than just dress and etiquette; it also involves speech, eye contact, body language, and so on.

The most important thing.

Ike promised Chris he would win the heart of the King and Queen at the graduation ball.

The king's promises are always kept.

Chapter 116: High School Graduation Day

"Ding dong!"

"Tom. Ice@Fire#Chinese www.Bhzw.cc"

"Meow!"

Tom the cat, who was leisurely taking a nap on the sofa, meowed and ran straight to the door, quickly opening it.

Talking Tom turned around and meowed at Ike, who was sitting at the bar.

Deliveryman?

Ike looked back and saw a FedEx courier standing at his door with a large box in his hand.

quite a while.

After signing for the package, Ike glanced at Chris, who was walking across the street, and smiled.

Chris walked over, glanced at the large box in Ike's hand, and asked, "Your clothes?"

Ike laughed and said, "Guess again."

Chris blinked.

Ike laughed and grabbed Chris's little hand, leading her into the room.

In the living room.

Ike pushed the box in his hand towards Chris and said, "Open it and take a look."

Chris looked up and asked curiously, "For me?"

Ike smiled and nodded.

Chris rolled her eyes and took the fruit knife from Ike's hand. She quickly cut off the packaging on the box and then opened it.

into the eye.

Chris brought out a halter-neck gown that was understated yet luxurious, and elegant within that luxury.

The halter-neck gown was light black, with sparkling rhinestones adorning the halter neck, waist, and thighs.

Ike took a sip of ice water and looked at Chris with a smile.

Chris has a wide range of facial expressions.

Specifically, the main reaction was surprise.

Ike smiled and said, "So, how is it? Do you like it?"

Chris looked up, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a strange light as she gazed at Ike.

A few days ago, when Matt went shopping at the mall, his girlfriend Kathy found her favorite dress, but Chris couldn't. So after Ike came back from the mall, he called Ms. Carter, who was in Washington, D.C., and asked her for a favor.

Chris said, "This must be very expensive."

After thinking for a moment, Ike said, "Probably, I don't know, I'm not sure."

After Ike's identity was exposed, he lost all concept of money. After all, would a king of a superhuman world need to worry about money?

Ike said, "Do you remember Ms. Peggy Carter, whom you met before?"

Chris nodded.

Ike shrugged and said, "Aren't you a huge fan of Ms. Carter? This dress was specially sent to you by Ms. Carter."

Chris glanced at Ike suspiciously.

Ike habitually stroked his chin, looked at the man, and then said, "I now suspect this is a conspiracy by Ms. Carter."

"why?"

“Think about it.” Ike pointed to the understated yet luxurious black halter-neck dress in Chris’s hand and said with a strange expression, “This dress clearly doesn’t match the shoes you bought yesterday. Have you ever heard the story of someone going bankrupt because of an expensive watch?”

Chris rolled her eyes at Ike and said, "I don't have OCD."

Ike laughed heartily.

The story is simple: a man who was doing alright one day found a very valuable watch. From then on, his life was completely thrown into chaos. In order to match the watch with his clothes, he bought a set of high-end clothes, and then a house, a car, and a girl followed.

And then?

That was the end of it; the man went bankrupt because of a luxury watch he found.

Chris's gaze fell on the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch on Ike's wrist, then she glanced at Ike's clothes, her meaning clear.

Ike replied, "I don't have OCD either."

Chris shook her head and said, "No, I meant your dress."

Ike glanced at his watch and said, "No rush, the tailor won't be that fast. I should be able to get it tomorrow."

Chris nodded.
