Alpha Reborn!

Aiden\'s hard work eventually paid off as he founded an extremely powerful technique that shattered all preconceived notions that control-type soul plates were useless. 

However, he kept it a secret to avoid attracting the attention of his stepmothers and half-brothers, who were vying for the succession of the Frost Blood Household, thinking him useless and harmless. But Aiden knew that once they realized his true potential, they would come after him with all their might. He shared his secret only with his sister, who has always been supporting him.

When the Crown Prince of Frost initiated the inheritance war, Aiden was approached by Annika, who begged him to assist the prince. She knew that he could be of great help to Evan. Aiden couldn\'t refuse her, as his sole aim in life was to protect his mother and sister and make them happy. He wiped the tears in her eyes and agreed to lend his support.

After careful consideration, Aiden realized that if he helped the Crown Prince of Frost win the inheritance war, he could gain the support he needed and finally reclaim his birthright and aim to become the head of the Frost Blood Household.

With that in mind, he resolved to do his best in this task, knowing that his help could make all the difference in the outcome of the inheritance war.

\'Annika begged him to help me?\'

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Evan was taken aback. He had never even dreamed that she would go to such great lengths for him. For Evan, Annika had always been a memory from the past, a distant image in the rearview mirror of his life, and he assumed that she felt the same way, but now, seeing the extent of her loyalty and devotion, Evan knew he had been mistaken all along.

Learning that Annika begged to provide him with help was a huge surprise. It made him feel indebted and also helped him realize that she was an exceptional woman, possessing all the qualities he held in high esteem, but it also left him uncertain about how to repay her kindness.

\'I will think about how to repay her for the kindness she had shown me in the future. For now, I need to focus on winning the inheritance war.\'

Aiden, on the other hand, had more self-serving motives, but Evan didn\'t find him disgusting or distasteful. After all, it was a cold hard fact that when someone goes out of their way to help you, they usually expect something in return. In this case, Aiden wanted Evan\'s support to fight the decision of the council of elders and get the Imperial Frost court to legally return his birth rights in exchange for his help in the inheritance war. 

\'By helping me deal with the triplets, Aiden has already proven to be valuable. Without his help, I might still be struggling to survive the assault of the triplets.\'

\'He deserves to be rewarded for his services so far.\'

\'If I win this war, I will act like Santa Claus and gladly fulfill his wish.\'

Evan wasn\'t a saint by any means, but he also wasn\'t a bad guy.

He believed in fairness and justice, and he had a clear sense of right and wrong.

His philosophy was simple - he would reward evil with evil and good with good.

If someone crossed him or did something malicious, he wouldn\'t hesitate to retaliate in kind.

However, on the other hand, if someone showed him kindness or generosity, he would repay them in kind as well.

Evan didn\'t believe in taking the moral high ground just for the sake of it. He believed in being true to himself and standing up for what he believed in.

To him, being fair and just was more important than being a saint or a villain.

For Evan, fulfilling Aiden\'s wish was simply being fair and just. Aiden had already helped him once in the inheritance war, and Evan believed that it was only right to fulfill what he would request in the future in return.

As for now, he imparted something unique to Aiden - a cheat skill that only Aiden, with his Energy Manipulator Soul Plate, could execute flawlessly. The process didn\'t take long, just a few minutes.

\'if Aiden is able to grasp the concept, my odds of triumphing in the inheritance battle will improve even further,\' Evan thought.

Aiden looked at Evan in disbelief, eyes wide open, "Fire that can even extinguish soul energy? How can something like that be possible?"

"Just follow my teachings, and you will realize if it\'s possible or not," Evan responded.

Aiden hesitated, "The requirements for executing it seem challenging. I doubt I can do it."

Evan rebuked, "With that attitude, you will fail naturally."

Aiden was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Evan was speaking as if a change in attitude would make a world of difference.

"I\'m going to disclose a closely guarded secret, so listen well. The Energy Manipulator is far more special than other soul plates because it\'s directly influenced by its user\'s will. Even if you use a soul skill with its assistance, it might still fail if you\'re not entirely devoted." Evan shared knowledge only players were privy to with Aiden. "However, if you have confidence in yourself and believe you can do it, even if it\'s your first time and the chances of failure are high, you will still succeed."

This principle applied to other control-type soul plates as well. Evan\'s skill weaver was directly affected by his will. As long as he thought it was possible with enough confidence, the skill Weaver would give it all to make it happen. For example, he had been able to deconstruct extremely powerful attacks with its help, something that was unheard of!

"So I just have to believe in myself?" Aiden asked.

Evan affirmed, "Trust that you will succeed, and your soul plate will find a way to make it happen."

Aiden followed Evan\'s instructions, and it worked like a charm!

A fire appeared in his hand. 

It was not like a regular fire. 

It was gray in color!

And its presence increased the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
