Chapter 447 - 299: Never Walk Alone l
Harrison Clark smiled slightly, looked around, and was very satisfied with the shocked and astonished expressions of everyone.
He started with a surprise, intending to explain to everyone the source of his terrifying power, and then smoothly transition to the main topic.
Suddenly, Ward Owen’s chubby friend stood up abruptly and knelt on the ground with a thud.
“Master! Please accept my bow! Teach me a move or two so I can defend myself when I roam the Jianghu!”
Klang!
This idiot really knocked his forehead on the ground.
Harrison Clark widened his eyes.
Could it be that he had read too many martial arts novels and thought I was the descendant of some hidden sect, who practiced some kind of internal strength?
As expected.
The chubby friend raised his expectant head, “Master, what’s the name of our sect?”
Hiss-
Harrison Clark’s head hurt.
Damn it.
His hard-earned aura had been broken.
Harrison Clark glared, “Shut up! This is not martial arts from a martial arts novel!”
Ward Owen had almost ruined his big plan with this interruption, but fortunately, Harrison Clark had prepared another trick. He broke a piece of Avril Green’s dumbbell used for training and regained control of the situation.
“Now you must be very curious about my abilities. I’ll tell you where I learned them: in a military camp.”
Avril Green froze on the spot, “Impossible, there is no such army in the world.”
Harrison Clark looked at Avril Green, “Avril Green, you once wondered where my military temperament came from. I told you I wanted to be a soldier. I also said that I would talk about the future later. Now, I give you a clear answer: it is indeed the army, the army of the thirty-first century.”
“What!”
“You must be joking!”
Avril Green, Ward Owen, and Julia Lambert were all shocked.
It was Rainer who didn’t speak, but instead fell into deep thought.
Rainer recalled that Harrison Clark had discussed time travel with him, but at the time, Rainer had approached it from the perspective of space-time theory, telling Harrison that it was impossible.
Later, Harrison Clark’s words faded away, but now he brought them up again. Combined with his just-performed outlandish abilities, an explanation appeared in Rainer’s mind, one that was both startling and yet made sense.
Everything he said was true!
Harrison Clark observed everyone’s reactions carefully.
He wasn’t surprised by their reactions.
But he had confidence in everyone.
Choosing to reveal everything today, he had his considerations.
All five people here had already passed his test.
His trust in these five deepened.
After being together for so long, he had already understood the true nature of these people; they were trustworthy and could handle it.
At the same time, after returning this time, Harrison Clark’s own mental breakdowns had made him realize that his will had reached a certain limit.
The tension in his heart had been stretched to the extreme, and a gentle touch would break it.
Simply put, he knew he couldn’t hold on much longer.
No amount of mental preparation could withstand it. If one couldn’t bear it, one simply couldn’t bear it.
If he could achieve final victory after this time, that would be fine.
But if he were to suffer another defeat, or if he were to truly see the enemy’s massive fleet, then the next thing waiting for him would be a mental breakdown and a fall into the abyss.
Human Civilization with unlimited potential doesn’t exist in individuals within the civilization.
Individual power has an end, while darkness in the universe is infinite. People need to learn to face reality.
After truly giving up, he would probably stop fighting, becoming a truly carefree old man, lying down and waiting for life’s true end in the twenty-second century.
Die quietly, once and for all.
He didn’t want that, but his clear self-awareness told him that it could happen.
Nora Camp once said that it was too hard for one person to bear everything, so why not share and unburden a little?
Believe in your comrades; the pressure you share may not be too heavy for others, but it will lighten your own feelings significantly.
Even the most powerful people need to confide sometimes, as confession is a kind of healing that can rejuvenate the soul.
So, now Harrison Clark knew he needed help, and he had asked for it.
These five people represented all his hope.
Even if someone here lost control after learning the truth, with his current personal ability and reputation, combined with his mastery of psychological intervention techniques, he would be able to rectify the situation. So the timing was ripe.
“Very well, you have begun to fill in the blanks with your imaginations, but no matter how you think about it, there will be discrepancies with the truth. So I ask you to temporarily let go of your worldview and values, and trust everything I tell you unconditionally.”
Harrison Clark smiled and pointed to Rainer, “Rainer, actually, you’re already dead.”
Everyone turned to look at Rainer, their eyes filled with surprise.
Rainer was first taken aback, raising his hand to point at himself.
It was Carrie Thomas who seemed thoughtful and said, “So that’s how it is.”
About ten seconds later, Rainer came to his senses, “I was supposed to die in a plane crash, but you saved me?”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes, I pulled you out of the void of the future and back into reality.”
“Why me? There are many scientists who have died in accidents in this world, not just me.”
Harrison Clark smiled, “Because you were known as the greatest regret of the scientific community in the twenty-first century. Even a thousand years later, you were still one of the top ten regrets in the history of science. Of course, I had to make up for that. You are more important than you think. You have written your name in the historical records, and your descendants have made their mark as well.. The value of you alone is equal to an entire Bell Laboratory and more!”
