“In the timeline we experienced, Carrie Thomas took the car because I changed the future. I couldn’t let her die, so I intervened and changed history, saving both Carrie and Susan. At the same time, I also changed your fate, digging you out of Horizon Dynamics and bringing you to me. I’m not sure what kind of achievements you could have made in Horizon Dynamics, but I arrogantly believe that you can do more with me.”
Julia Lambert thought for a while, “If Susan had unfortunately died picking me up, my character would have been greatly affected, and I would have fallen into self-blame. Even if I had joined Horizon Dynamics, I might not have performed well in the first few years. Your changes to the timeline should not have caused any negative impact.”
Harrison Clark nodded, “These are all hindsight conjectures, and don’t count for much. After all, my actions will cause the Butterfly Effect every time, and cannot be reversed. But from a personal emotional point of view, saving Susan and preserving your fighting spirit, as well as preventing Carrie from losing her best friend, is nothing but beneficial.”
Julia Lambert nodded, “Yes, thank you.”
“You don’t need to say thanks too much since you all owe me a lifetime of loyalty.”
Rainer and Julia Lambert exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
“That’s true.”
Harrison Clark continued, “Everyone knows how complex time is. In a sense, my actions might be just patching one hole by opening another, so I usually won’t distort others’ fate without absolute certainty. But I’m not always so selfless; for you, I will become more selfish.”
“You must not be complacent either, because that doesn’t mean you won’t be in danger. For example, in the past timeline, I would not have called you all here at this moment, but today I did and changed your plans. However, if you were to walk out of here, stand in the middle of the road, and get hit by a car, I would be helpless.”
“Also, don’t ask me why I didn’t play the stock market or lottery, and don’t ask me about the World Cup results. Compared to what we’re doing, these are insignificant details. Even the question of whether China or the United States will be strong in the upcoming decades is just a detail. Our changes to the future require millennia of accumulation, focusing on the foundation of a million-year civilization, without worrying about temporary gains or losses.”
Harrison Clark’s last sentence was mainly directed at Julia Lambert.
He still showed a very strong national consciousness, which Harrison Clark admired, but he also hoped that Julia could control his obsession.
Julia Lambert understood, “I see.”
At this moment, Julia Lambert’s phone rang, with a company vice president calling about business matters, specifically related to the Summit Studio and Summit Games projects’ establishment and location.
These two major plans were previously set by Harrison Clark, with the specific implementation left to Julia Lambert’s full responsibility.
Originally, Julia Lambert was supposed to return to the company today to hold a meeting, but was personally held back by Harrison Clark, the big boss.
He immediately sat down nearby, opened his computer on the spot, and held a conference call, saying to the others, “You keep chatting.”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Alright. I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yes.”
To avoid disturbing Julia Lambert, Harrison Clark and Rainer went a little further away.
“Rainer, do you still admire me?”
Harrison Clark asked with a smile.
Without any hesitation, Rainer answered, “I admire you even more.”
This was somewhat unexpected for Harrison Clark, “Oh? How so? You still admire me knowing that I copied?”
Rainer laughed, “Ordinary people would see everything in the future as a mystery. That you can understand it and hold it in your mind is your skill, which means your mastery of the knowledge is solid enough. Your abilities in knowledge are actually on par with your achievements in battle.”
Harrison Clark couldn’t help but laugh, “Not bad, Rainer. You have a unique perspective and a great starting point.”
Rainer asked again, “Were you a knowledge leader in the future too, right?”
Some details Harrison Clark hadn’t explained earlier.
At this moment, Harrison Clark thought that, yes, and no.
After all, he was indeed the leader of the Intuition School and Cosmic Wisdom faction, but the situation was… complicated.
With his hands behind his back, Harrison Clark casually said, “I did serve as the dean of a certain scientific academy in the 31st century.”
History and Science Academy Dean Clark, at your service.
Rainer asked, “Can you tell me about the scientific theories of the 31st century? I’m curious.”
Harrison Clark shook his head, “It’s not time yet. Of course, I want you to be more powerful, but you can’t handle these things right now. Imagine if someone went back to ancient times and told Archimedes that light isn’t a straight line but a wave, how would he react?”
Rainer said, “Either he would think the person was crazy, or he would go crazy himself.”
“Yes, so I will also observe your progress. I can’t give you too far-fetched knowledge in advance, as it would shatter your current knowledge structure. But I will guide you and help you unleash your real talent.”
“Of course, thank you.” Rainer nodded seriously, “You are the first Galactic Human, and I can’t say how much I envy you. Even if I can’t reach your level, if I could become a nearly 200-year-old scholar like Mr. Connor you mentioned, how much more could I do, and how much more could I learn.”
“I want to explore the mysteries of the universe, see how the unified force formula is expressed, understand the wonders of the world beneath quarks, know the limits of human genes, witness the magnificent Dyson membrane you mentioned, see the thousands of kilometers long giant space stations, pilot a small spaceship to get a close-up view of the sun, and explore the rings of Saturn..”
