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

Needham Brown couldn’t understand Harrison Clark’s firm farewell.

“Why are you doing this? You are such an excellent warrior with unparalleled talents. Don’t you want to become even stronger?”

In order to persuade him, even though Harrison Clark had clearly refused, Needham Brown continued to gently coax him.

Lying in the nourishing pod, Harrison Clark glanced at Needham Brown and answered decisively, “No, I don’t want to.”

Did he think Harrison wouldn’t know what Needham Brown was planning?

Trying to absorb my strength?

Wake up!

Needham Brown was usually a man of few emotions, but Harrison’s overly firm rejection left him with no recourse. “Is that really wise? Brother, stay with us. Let’s train together and progress together.”

Harrison sneered internally, thinking highly of yourself, huh?

Progress together?

Impossible. Challenging each other would hold no value for me, nor would it provide any assistance to you.

Only watching my combat footage would be enough for you to learn until you die.

The gap between us is too vast. Comparing our skills is like an elephant trying to beat an ant at arm wrestling; even if we did it a hundred times, it would benefit neither of us.

Why would I waste my time with you when I can be happy with my wife and child?

When it was time for Harrison Clark to go with Nora Camp and the remnants of the Giant Wave Vertical Team to board the Battleship, Needham Brown couldn’t hold back his humiliation and exploded with anger. “Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? You’re just smitten with Captain Camp! This is a disgraceful display of your infatuation!”

When Nora Camp had been playfully bantering with Harrison Clark while on the Nutrition Pod, Needham Brown had been there the entire time, holding back some words in his heart, waiting for now to let them out. It was truly difficult for him.

Nora Camp’s face turned red, and although she seemed to want to argue, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.

Needham Brown glared at Harrison with a look of utter contempt. “We respect you as a hero, but don’t you think this is too irresponsible?”

Harrison couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ve already sacrificed myself for humanity. How else should I take responsibility? Do you all feel that what I’ve done is not enough?”

Harrison looked toward the other Vertical Formation captains from Venus Base.

Unexpectedly, they all fell silent, and even Nora Camp seemed to waver.

What’s going on? Harrison contemplated and gradually understood.

“Harrison Clark, we all admire your courage and strength. We aren’t trying to criticize you intentionally, but now we are all in a crisis, and everyone should go all out! We know you’ve done very well, but you must do even better! Faced with the threat of radium and unknown invaders, everyone must do better! Otherwise, humanity has no chance of victory!”

“If we were facing the same situation as you at the time, we would also stand in front of Captain Camp without hesitation! Think of the comrades you sacrificed! So, Harrison, reach your limit! Don’t let their sacrifices be in vain!”

Needham Brown pointed at Nora Camp. “We all acknowledge Captain Camp’s command ability and have immense respect for the selfless comrades in the Giant Wave Vertical Team. But no one can deny that the Giant Wave Vertical Team now has only two or three hundred members left and can’t form a complete team.”

“How much time will you waste if you want to rebuild the Vertical Formation with her? Staying on Venus now, training with me and letting countless soldiers observe and learn would be the best arrangement for humanity. So, you are both selfless and selfish! You are wasting your talent! You are letting down all of humanity!”

Harrison was dumbfounded. He had known Needham Brown for several years, but he never expected him to have such a persuasive side.

If it weren’t for the fact that Needham Brown’s argument had inherent flaws, Harrison would have almost been convinced.

Even Nora Camp’s lips began to quiver, as if she was on the verge of making a difficult decision.

Harrison quickly made his stand, laughing. “You’ve got most of it right. But you made a mistake in one point—you have a poor understanding of the power disparity between you and me. Want to train with me?”

With a pause, Harrison looked at Needham Brown coldly. “You’re not worthy! How can a speck of light compete with the sun and moon? The truth is that for all of humanity’s soldiers, including you, watching and learning from the training videos I provide later would be more than enough for you to benefit tremendously!”

The crowd was silent, and everyone glanced discreetly at Needham Brown’s changing expression.

It was very strange, turning from green to red to white in a matter of moments.

Needham Brown was stunned and furious. Rarely had anyone ever shown such disregard for him.

He clenched his teeth. “You…”

“What about me? Oh, right, you only got my fragmented battle footage that was recorded intermittently from the outside, right? You haven’t gotten the data from my Tactical Helmet chip yet?”

Needham Brown honestly replied, “Yes, in order to prevent intelligence leaks, each Tactical Helmet has a separate encryption lock that hasn’t been cracked yet.”

Harrison laughed again. “Wait until I unlock my Tactical Helmet and release my first-person footage. You’ll understand once you watch it. I have my own judgment regarding what I should do next. No one can interfere with me! Dare to call me selfish? You are truly arrogant and ignorant!”

With that, Harrison Clark turned his face away in disdain.

The room fell into silence.

It wasn’t until Nora Camp was about to carry his Nutrition Pod onto the Battleship that Harrison Clark murmured one more thing. “Needham Brown, I still want to thank you for saving my life. When I have fully recovered, I’ll be waiting for your challenge. By then, you will also see how Captain Camp and I lead the Giant Wave Vertical Team back to the top.”

Once the two of them boarded the Battleship, Nora Camp placed the Nutrition Pod in the command cabin, motioned for the others to leave, and the two of them stared at each other in silence..
