“You worry too much about the impact of your actions, which is because you’re looking at civilization from an individual perspective, treating it like a fragile baby. You think too highly of yourself while underestimating the power and inertia of civilization.”
“Also, why do you only think about saving Yue Fei? Why not turn Qin Hui into a good person? Why not let them work together to accomplish something even greater?”
“Besides, if you feel Yue Fei really had a negative effect on civilization, you, who were able to save him, can still influence the Song Dynasty’s history. Just do something else to counteract the negative effects he left behind, isn’t that enough?”
Carrie Thomas rarely talked this much.
To guide Harrison Clark, she had exhausted her mind.
Her words perfectly revealed her character.
She never gives up until she achieves her goals.
She doesn’t have many worries, once she decides to do something, she will do it with all her heart, without considering retreat.
Just like when she stood openly in public, opened her stance, pointed at her own crotch and fiercely scolded Eric Mitchell, “You mutt, if you dare, pull out that ugly thing of yours, I’ll satisfy you to your heart’s content in front of everyone! Dare you?” She was just as decisive.
“Good, I understand.”
Harrison Clark abruptly stood up and quickly walked towards Rainer.
In the meantime, he was murmuring odd phrases such as “little baby” and “very strong”.
After hearing what Carrie Thomas said, Harrison Clark suddenly realized he was being ridiculous.
What am I hesitating about?
Have I gone through so much, learned so much, only to become timid?
In the past, when I was relatively ignorant, I was actually more decisive in my actions.
But now, for some inexplicable reason, I’ve become timid.
If I worry that Rainer’s achievements will trigger a World War, then it is I, Harrison Clark, who is the real danger.
From the beginning, I’ve had my eyes set on the historical tech materials from a thousand years later, hoping to bring back more advanced technologies from the future, but I’ve just not been successful so far.
Why didn’t I consider the negative effects when I was the one transporting them?
But when it comes to saving someone, I suddenly think about it?
It’s ridiculous!
Furthermore, all the existing and upcoming top scientists in the world have their own important positions.
Moving people around might have positive or negative effects in the future, but in the short term, it will definitely have both positive and negative effects.
However, Rainer is different.
This man was supposed to be gone.
If he is saved, it would be equivalent to creating an additional top scientist for humanity in the coming decades.
This is certainly a good thing!
Plus, there’s a chance I might win him over. Whether it’s for the growth of my own wealth, the expansion of my territory, or transporting things from a thousand years later and having him assist in the conversion of these achievements, it would all be tremendously helpful.
“Mr. Rainer, Mr. Butler, sorry to interrupt, I have something urgent to discuss with Mr. Rainer.”
Harrison Clark cut through the crowd, ignoring their relatively private conversation, and directly went to interrupt them.
Initially, he was almost stopped by the bodyguard, but Charles Butler and Rainer both noticed him and stopped the bodyguard.
Although Rainer was surprised, he still apologized to Charles Butler and came out.
“Mr. Rainer, I have a presumptuous request,” said Harrison Clark.
Rainer: “Please go ahead.”
“I just received a call from the company at home saying that I have to take a flight back home first thing the day after tomorrow. So I was hoping we could move our meeting to tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? Won’t you come to the Grammy’s?” Rainer hesitated slightly.
“No, I won’t.”
Rainer thought for a moment and said, “Well… I have meetings tomorrow morning and afternoon. How about evening? My meeting should end a little after five. After the meeting, I’ll come to find you?”
Harrison Clark was delighted, but he didn’t let it show on his face. “Great! I will reserve a table at the restaurant below Beverly Hills. We will not go home until we are drunk!”
Rainer: “No problem!”
Everything is now set.
Rainer’s evening time has been occupied by Harrison Clark.
So, the crisis of the helicopter pilot’s vision being affected by the direct sunlight at dusk was averted, and Rainer was safe.
Having taken care of the matter, Harrison Clark returned to Carrie Thomas in a relaxed mood.
“What did you just say to him?” Carrie Thomas asked curiously.
Harrison Clark said with a big smile, “We agreed to have dinner together tomorrow night, and we won’t stop until we get drunk.”
Carrie Thomas:…
What happened to being straight?
You set up a dinner date with a man, looking forward to it, and your tone goes up an octave when you talk about it. What’s going on?
Are you expecting me to light a couple of red candles for you? Set a candlelit scene?
Ah! You liar!
Even when Avril Green said that you love women, I didn’t believe her!
I…
If this is why you have been rejecting my advances, I will be really disappointed.
Carrie Thomas felt a lot of pressure.
Forget it. After all, you want me to focus on songwriting.
I’ll put up with you.
But what happened next made Carrie Thomas even more “saddened”.
The Grammy Committee sent Harrison Clark a formal invitation, hoping he could attend the Grammy Awards ceremony tomorrow night.
Furthermore, the seat assigned to him by the committee was even closer to the front than Carrie’s, right in the second row, next to Katie Swift.
But he declined very formally, without any hesitation.
He didn’t explain to the Grammy people his reasons, only mentioning some important commitments that he could not get out of.
Only Carrie Thomas knew the truth.
She was speechless.
In order to have dinner with Rainer, he, as the boss of Summit Ventures, didn’t hesitate to give up the chance to attend the award ceremony of the highest honor in global music.
And this was the second row!
It was a perfect opportunity to promote Summit Ventures and elevate its corporate profile.
Carrie Thomas enviously felt the desire to hit him over the head, curious to see what was inside his skull.
Yet, Harrison Clark’s good mood only lasted until 9 a.m. the next day.
In order to avoid any failure, he sent Rainer a message around 9 a.m., emphasizing the dinner for that night.
Rainer replied with a voice message.
“Don’t worry, no problem. I won’t be late. We are about to take a helicopter to Casades to inspect the site, and we’ll be back in Beverly before eleven in the morning to continue the meeting. The meeting is sure to end promptly at five in the afternoon.”
Harrison Clark remained silent, glanced at the weather warning broadcasted as a scroll bar on the TV.
“Due to the influence of the Pacific Ocean’s monsoon, foggy weather is expected in the mountainous areas near Carlisle, such as Casades County, Melo County, and Beilun Tesis County in the morning. Visibility is around three hundred meters. The foggy weather will end at one in the afternoon. Please be careful when going out.”
Bang!
Harrison Clark slammed the door and rushed to the helicopter rental company 300 meters away from the hotel.
At the same time, he insisted in strong words that Rainer should cancel this trip.
Unfortunately, Rainer did not agree.
Bcause this was an important itinerary that he alone could not decide.
Harrison Clark again mentioned the possibility of fog.
Rainer then told him that Charles Butler’s party had taken this into consideration.
Their pilot Seckley was very experienced, and was considered the most steady and reliable senior flying instructor in all of California. He had provided services to many top tycoons over the years, had plenty of flying experience in foggy weather, with a safe flight time of more than 8000 hours, so there was absolutely no safety concern.
Harrison Clark could only sigh.
The inertia of history is so strong.
It’s really difficult to save someone who’s destined to die..
