I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 614: Chapter 393: Mortal Words_1

The two did not go into details on how to solve these problems.

It is immense and complex.

Harrison Clark is Chinese.

Most of the people around him are also Chinese.

His primary industry is also in China.

So his focus inevitably remains on China.

Now he will find a balance between the two countries, which is just a means of controlling the overall situation in stages.

If he rashly reveals his true inclination, it will inevitably be used by Avril Green or others behind the fat man, attempting to exploit his love for this land and get more benefits from him that they don’t deserve.

Although Harrison is willing to share his wealth, it must be given to the right people.

He must ensure that the profits he shares flow like living water, not falling into a stagnant pool of filth and decay.

Even if it becomes stagnant water, one day it will eventually flow back into the world’s corners due to people’s consumption or property transfers and enter ordinary households.

However, during the process of circulation, it will pass through many people whom Harrison does not wish to have money, or the flow may be too slow to produce a sufficient magnifying effect.

Harrison has thought through all these.

After going to the future so many times, reading historical records countless times, and witnessing the changes of eras, his perception of the times has evolved to a level incomprehensible to outsiders.

But even now, he is still in search of the perfection in his heart.

Whether it’s the 21st or the 31st century, after experiencing numerous failures, he is still searching for the perfect system.

He once mistakenly believed that he had found perfection, but ultimately suffered a miserable defeat.

According to the results, since he lost in that timeline, it means it was still not perfect enough.

Therefore, Harrison never thinks that there is a perfect system under the current era of production.

But it doesn’t matter; this is both a world that’s better and worse than others.

Since it’s impossible to pursue absolute perfection, why not settle for the next best thing: choose a system closest to perfection, quietly give it enough support to grow stronger, and gamble once again that it can walk the path most needed by civilization.

From the current situation, the most qualified candidate is, of course, Harrison’s homeland.

From this country, Harrison can see the vitality he craves most.

It is a civilization with a 5,000-year-old history, but it is not old and decrepit.

After experiencing the pains, it is slowly awakening.

After regaining freedom, it has endured decades of difficult struggles.

It has not been disheartened but has grown stronger at a speed that other countries cannot understand.

It is full of vitality.

It still faces new challenges.

But Harrison believes that challenges will not make it retreat.

There may be temporary forbearance, but behind it, there must be a greater goal.

Not for any other reason, but because it is already 5,000 years old, yet still full of vitality.

It has the best people in the history of civilization.

It is undeniable that it still has various shortcomings.

But others have those shortcomings too, and some are much more severe.

If anyone can correct these shortcomings in the future, Harrison believes, it is still this country and not anyone else.

History and the current situation both clearly convey a fact to everyone.

Suppose history is an obscure, irreversible test paper.

The 21st century is an especially crucial multiple-choice question in this test paper.

This question may be single-option or multi-option.

No one knows what the correct answer is.

Perhaps when doing the next question, the answer to this one will reveal itself naturally.

By then, if the choice was already wrong, one must pay the price and cannot go back to correct it.

But this question must be answered, and it cannot be skipped.

Therefore, in line with the principle of being responsible to all, the leaders of civilization should be particularly cautious and careful when answering this multiple-choice question.

When the correct answer cannot be found directly, they should first deal with it by eliminating the wrong answers.

Those who lack cultural heritage, a sense of historical responsibility, disrespect for life, and are controlled by capital’s profit-driven instinct are not qualified to lead the world forward.

Such people’s focus will always be on their wallets.

When they look at others, they may smile on the surface, but in secret, they are thinking about plundering the other party’s wallet, adding an extra layer of butter to their bread for tomorrow.

When these people lead, they will become vain and selfish due to their temporary lead.

They do not remember the help others once gave, but they will make a big deal out of the meager favors they have offered others in order to boast and glorify themselves.

When they make mistakes, they like to shirk responsibility and seize the opportunity to attack, using the name of revenge to commit plunder.

They view the world with a double standard.

Their moral values are based on only one criterion: what benefits them.

Letting this kind of “person” lead the world is extremely dangerous and unstable, and it could easily lead humanity to premature destruction.

Harrison will grant them some benefits, but their existence can only be that of a pursuer.

They must rank second and never take first place.

In front of others, Harrison claims to be impartial, but he still believes that the best technology should be given to the people with the oldest history, the most creativity, and the most enthusiasm for construction.

Who holds the answer?

No need to say more.

The outcomes Harrison has seen in multiple  past timelines have already given him the answer. However, he is merely trying to prevent some people from becoming complacent and turning good people into bad ones, so he deliberately controls his overt preferences.

Rainer returned to his post, while Harrison continued to play games in his office.In the afternoon, Avril Green came to the company.

Officially, she came to introduce herself as a new artist joining the company, but in reality, she came to talk to Harrison Clark.

Although most people didn’t dare to look directly at her, some of them inadvertently showed their dissatisfaction in their eyes.

These people were probably feeling sorry for Carrie Thomas, but didn’t dare to say anything to Avril directly.

Avril was mentally prepared for this and didn’t take it to heart.

She knew that in the future, she would face more criticism than just these looks.

These little resentments here were nothing in comparison.

When the two met, Avril didn’t seem to have any reservations.

She first made herself a cup of Inland Taipan tea and sat down across from Harrison Clark, “I was quite surprised by your reaction earlier. I thought you’d be angry.”

Harrison shrugged, “In the timeline you guys couldn’t see, I probably was angry. But I didn’t blame you for your stance.”

Avril nodded, “After all, you can travel back from the future, so I can’t hide anything from you.”

“That’s true.”

Avril took a sip of the slightly hot tea, “I won’t ask you about my future in detail.”

“I know.”

“I won’t ask for more.”

“I know that as well.”

“I think that loving someone doesn’t necessarily mean I have to have them. Since I’m late to the game, I don’t mind waiting. Being able to work together with you on such a great ideal, I feel that I’m already fortunate enough.”

Harrison nodded, “You really do think that way.”

“So I won’t cause you any trouble.” Avril blinked her eyes playfully.

She knew that since Harrison can read history and she was so straightforward this time, she wouldn’t be able to hide her feelings for him. So, she preferred to be more open and honest about it.

Seeing her considerate behavior, Harrison felt a little heartache for her.

But such feelings came quickly and went just as fast.

“If you were an ordinary woman, I would say you’re foolish. But you’re not foolish at all. You might be too smart and worldly-wise.”

Avril smiled sweetly, “I guess that’s what comes with being a daughter of the Green family. I can’t be like ordinary girls. I don’t know whether I’m numb or it’s just my true nature. Even if you can read historical records, and even if there are many historians analyzing, you still can’t explain it clearly.”

“Yeah.”

“My life will have many twists and turns, won’t it?”

Harrison nodded again, “Yes.”

“And I said I have no regrets, right?”

“Yes, you did. You also said another thing.”

“What?”

Harrison laughed, “You said you can’t watch my talents be wasted by the times and drag my pace.”

Avril suddenly burst out laughing, covering her mouth.

Harrison: “What’s so funny?”

“Although I know those words were mine, hearing you repeat them like this is just so unique. You seem to be complimenting yourself, but I know it’s not like that. I just can’t help laughing.”

“That’s quite interesting, huh.”

“You said you wanted to take a break this month?”

“Yes.”

Avril: “Some people want to meet you, not for business, but to have a deeper understanding of you.”

Harrison shook his head, “There’s no need to meet. What kind of person I will become, history will give everyone an answer.”

“Alright, I’ll pass on your message.”

“Thank you.”

Avril came and left.

She didn’t ask.

Even without Harrison’s deliberate reminder, she could suppress her desire to know her own future.

It sounds simple, but it’s actually quite difficult.

Harrison didn’t know how to tell her that either.

He also found it hard to describe his feelings.

Maybe Avril really is that kind of person she described herself to be.

Being able to have a simple, burden-free relationship and work together towards a common goal for a solution, that would make her feel truly happy.

If anything were to happen between them, perhaps she would feel guilty about it instead.

Who knows whether that’s a good or bad thing?

The next day, Harrison boarded a plane to Los Angeles.

This was an unplanned move for him.

It was a small coincidence that Dr. Laulsen from the Linton Research Institute invited him to a small-scale conference.

Many top figures in the field of science were among the attendees.

Harrison wasn’t initially interested, but the topic of the conference was “On the Threat of Alien Civilization.”

This piqued his curiosity.

He wanted to know the 21st-century top scientists’ true opinions on the threat of alien civilizations.

Harrison didn’t care about the outcome of the discussion, just the process.

Rainer had also received an invitation, but he declined.

Rainer’s goal was very clear, since he already knew the answer, there was no need to waste time.
