Raulsen and the others hurriedly said they couldn’t accept the money. The group hesitated for a long time, but still couldn’t refuse Harrison Clark. He called Julia Lambert to have the recently established Los Angeles branch transfer two hundred thousand dollars into Linton Research Institute’s official account, as per protocol.

Only then did the others gradually understand the purpose of the Linton Institute’s visit today.

Did they really offend someone?

Raulsen and the others exchanged glances.

Since Harrison Clark wouldn’t accept their goodwill, it seemed that he was still angry, and there was nothing to be done at this point.

This time, they had truly offended him beyond repair.

Well, let’s be satisfied with the two Conjecture Collections he’s already given

us, and worry about the future later.

If he wants to continue cursing like yesterday, let him.

If cursing makes him feel better, let him curse in peace.

Raulsen and the others prepared themselves to be scolded, while the rest were filled with regret.

They were duped.

They didn’t expect Linton Institute to be after Rainer’s contract, and following them was like walking into a trap.

Otherwise, this would have been just a problem for the Linton Institute, and everyone could have continued talking separately.

Now, everyone was involved.

Extremely frustrating.

As everyone was hanging their heads in despair, Harrison Clark suddenly said from behind, “Are you worried that if I continue to write Conjecture Collections in the future, I’ll close the sharing channel for you?”

The entire coffee shop fell silent.

Although this was the answer most of them had guessed, they didn’t want to admit it.

The atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Harrison Clark’s expression turned serious, “Actually, you don’t have to care too much. After all, you represent the great United States. From a scientific perspective, you have the world’s strongest research system, the smartest scientists, and the best creativity. You shouldn’t care about my tiny, insignificant achievements that can never compete with yours.”

Harrison Clark was still smiling, but it was a cold smile.

Raulsen and the others lowered their heads.

“I’m very sorry, Mr. Clark.”

Harrison Clark waved his hand, “There’s no need to apologize. I can’t judge whether your apology is genuine or not. Just a few words from me, or even just two Conjecture Collections, probably won’t change your deeply ingrained „ views. What you care about is what I’ve created, not me or my compatriots.” “Based on my previous understanding of you, you must regret that I have yellow skin, right?”

Silence, a widespread and lasting silence.

Some wanted to argue, but when they tried to look up at Harrison Clark’s sharp gaze, they felt inexplicably guilty and lowered their heads again. Harrison Clark laughed again, “Narrow-minded! Ignorant! Uninformed! Shameful! You should be ashamed of your thoughts! You are scientists, not ignorant people who just scroll through social media!” “You always talk about humanity, so you should truly pick up your sense of mission for mankind once again. You should have your judgment and not bury your wisdom in the illusory world blinded by politicians and capitalists’ prejudices. You are scholars, yet you are foolishly ridiculous.

Bam!

Harrison Clark slammed the table forcefully.

Unknowingly, he seemed to return to the leader who guided warriors and scholars in the 31st century, exuding an irrepressible aura of dominance and determination.

The hostility and suspicion ingrained in these people’s minds by their environment began to be challenged.”You only remember Pasteur’s famous saying, ‘scientists have a homeland.’ But times have changed. He said that during the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in the 1870s. His homeland was being trampled by the iron hooves of Prussia, so he said it in anger.” “Now it’s the 21st century, a time when my book can be distributed all over the world within twelve hours. You should understand that no one dares to start a world war against my homeland, because no one can bear the consequences o the collapse of civilization. Since you don’t dare to fight, what’s the point of hostility?”

“War teaches us peace. We don’t need to hope for absolute peace, but this relative peace is destined not to be broken. As scholars, you must rise above the oppositional emotions of politicians. Some may argue that I have nothing against them, and that I am cooperating with China.” “But no one can deceive me. When you associate my name with the value of ‘The Madman’s Conjectures Collection,’ the subtle feeling of discomfort in your heart betrays your true thoughts. Subconsciously, you believe that Asians do not deserve to lead the times, to become scientific leaders, and even many Asians themselves hold this delusion.”

“But this is the work of your politicians, who have been brainwashing and infiltrating society for generations. But the future of humanity lies in breaking through this infiltration. I don’t resent you, the external environment is not something that can be changed by me, or by every person present.”

There was a long silence in the cafe again.

Everyone’s face seemed thoughtful.

Even the waiter in charge of pouring coffee forgot to pick up the coffee pot and let the valuable handmade coffee spill all over the place.

Today was indeed a special day.

If it had been a few days later, when everyone present had fully digested ‘Madman’s Conjecture Collection 2.0,’ they might not have been so easily swayed by Harrison Clark.

Many of those present were eloquent and not easily persuaded.

But Linton Institute had already backed down.

Others had no position or necessary ground to speak carelessly, so they had to listen with gritted teeth.

After hearing more, those who were originally discontent gradually felt that Harrison Clark’s words made some sense.

“Whether you admit it or not, remember this sentence. My words. From now on, after the twenty-first century, science has no boundaries; scientists, too, have no boundaries. Hatred cannot solve problems, and I admit frankly that I hate you, but I also have greater hatred beyond your imagination. So even though it goes against my conscience and my will, I will be the first to practice this concept,” Harrison Clark said resolutely.

Having experienced the pain of the annihilation of his entire race and deciding to bear everything alone, Harrison Clark, in the 21st century, took the first step to let go.

His “letting go” would become a seed that would take root and sprout in a cafe in Boston Airport, spreading out and growing until it quickly turned into a towering tree.

He was going to do his best to unite humanity a few centuries ahead of schedule.

It wasn’t because he was generous, but because his repeated failures taught him a harsh lesson.

Any selfishness would bring about destruction, especially for himself; he could not be selfish.

Harrison Clark decided that since he had taken things from others, he had to stick to his principles and give back to them.

The knowledge he had brought out in advance was not just the credit of the Chinese people.

Even the research results on the information storage capacity of base pairs came from the hands of Dr. Ethan Evans, who was now trembling and cowering in front of him.

Thirty-seven years later, at the age of ninety-six, Dr. Ethan Evans wrote the last sentence of his book, “Infinite Base Pairs – On the Essence of Genetic Information,” on his deathbed, trembling and staggering.

The content of this sentence was: “My achievements must be unconditionally open to all mankind, just like Harrison Clark’s – Eilen Elvin.” Now, at fifty-nine, Dr. Ethan Evans had spent more than thirty years trying to understand the truth of what Harrison Clark was saying at this moment. Now, Harrison Clark taught more than eighty people, including Ethan Evans, his principles of monopoly and hegemony, 37 years ahead of schedule. Harrison Clark was still looking forward to more surprises from Ethan Evans and the others.

In his personal utopian world, scientists, politicians, and businessmen had no boundaries.

Perhaps he could not achieve absolute fairness either, but in his lifetime, he would strive to fulfill his promise, treating all of humanity as fairly as possible. Of course, having given a sweet date, he had to hit with a stick immediately. Sometimes politicians’ tricks are necessary.

Harrison Clark grinned and said coldly, “But I still have enemies. I will regard those who harbor ill intentions towards me as enemies, but if you can let go first, I will give in. The doors of Summit are always open. I will lead you all to understand the true mysteries of the universe in the next hundred years. I reiterate that my offer to poach people yesterday is valid for a long time, and I’ll welcome all comers.”
