“Okay.”

Micah responded and linked arms with Kieran, stepping onto the stage slowly under his guidance.

The audience was still buzzing from Grant’s new product reveal.

When the host introduced the next speaker–the Research Center representative–many immediately quieted and turned their attention.

But at the first glance of Micah, people collectively froze.

[Whoa, the Research Center rep is hot! What a face!]

[Oh my god, so handsome! He’s debut–worthy, zero flaws!]

[I thought Mr. Holloway was the peak of tech–world looks, turns out there’s someone even higher!]

[Silver suit, like a prince, and that figure is perfect!]

[Wait, handsome or not, what’s with him needing support to walk on stage?]

[He’s wearing sunglasses. Could he be visually impaired?]

[Seriously? I thought the Research Center would bring out something extraordinary, representative of national power. Instead, they sent a blind guy on stage?]

[Hey! Expecting anything from the Center? Al’s moving so fast these past couple of years, they’re just coasting, relying on name and prestige. No real drive.]

[Right? Sending a blind guy up can’t see faces, avoids criticism, huh?]

[Disgraceful. Using a disabled person as a scapegoat!]

Online livestream comments were harsh, but the live audience was more restrained.

Many industry veterans recognized Micah and knew his capabilities.

Grant, just seated, saw Micah appear, and his nerves instantly tensed.

A flicker of cruel amusement crossed his eyes.

:

So the man representing the Research Center was him?

A blind guy, riding on family connections to reach this spot–a real disgrace!

“Grant, everyone online is praising you.”

Luna, still basking in her joy, was monitoring the live chat in real time.

She leaned over, handing her phone to Grant. He glanced at the livestream comments–all mocking Micah.

The curve at the corner of Grant’s mouth deepened as he turned his gaze back toward Micah on stage, watching leisurely.

With Micah’s impressive speech coming first, he was actually curious to see just how badly Micah would mess up.

Meanwhile, Oriana’s eyes stayed glued to the stage, her hands instinctively clenching.

Micah, a few inches taller than Grant, had his mic adjusted by Kieran, who then stepped aside.

Micah leaned slightly forward. “Hello, everyone. I’m Micah Caldwell, representing the Research Center. I’ll start by showing you a short video.”

That was it. No more words. He controlled the tablet in his hands, and the room fell silent.

“That’s it?”

“Oh my no introduction, just a video? I wouldn’t dare be this casual even at a kindergarten parent meeting!”

“Seriously? The last speaker, Mr. Holloway, was brilliant, and now this guy with the sunglasses? How is he even a representative? Bring Mr. Holloway back!”

“Exactly, support Mr. Holloway’s encore!”

“Micah?”

Luna froze in her seat, realization hitting her like a bolt. Her pupils widened. “That name? Is he Oriana’s husband?”

Grant leaned back, legs crossed, swinging them lightly, his expression relaxed.

“Yes, he is.”

Luna gasped, staring at the man on stage without blinking.

“He is so young?”

Instinctively, she glanced toward Oriana.

Seeing Oriana’s faintly furrowed brows and pale expression, Luna’s lips curved into a faint, dismissive smile. “Oriana really rushed into this, just wanted a pretty face, didn’t expect it would be a dud.”

Grant snorted coldly.

Oriana, after today, you’ll regret turning me down over and over again.

Oriana’s anxiety deepened. She knew exactly how Micah’s calm words could influence the

room.

Just as her unease peaked, Micah, head lowered on stage, seemed to sense her thoughts. He lifted his face, his gaze locking in the direction of Oriana.

Even through the lenses, she recognized it instantly.

Micah was looking at her.

He was reassuring her.

Slowly, Oriana’s racing heart found a rhythm, and she calmed down.

She focused on him, despite not being sure if he could see it, and with her lips, mouthed, “Go on.”

A subtle warmth touched the cold mask of his face.

He opened the video he was about to present and pressed play.

Amid murmurs and whispers in the room, the screen came alive.

The first segment showed footage of the beetle–shaped unmanned smoke grenades used in the conflict between the two countries two years prior. The clip had gone mildly viral online, with people commenting on how wildly clever the robots were.
