Controlled nuclear fusion is of paramount importance, and even though MI6 is one of the world's four major intelligence agencies, it is not something they can easily control.
As the next milestone in human civilization, this is something that no individual, organization, or even nation can control, and once this information is exposed...
Vincent, in the passenger seat, suddenly turned his head to look at William in the back seat.
Hunter, who was driving, waved to him, "Don't worry, William is just an ordinary researcher. Besides, I'm here today, MI6 won't try to get information out of him."
Vincent dismissed his concerns, "That's good. Energy has always been the ultimate problem that plagues mankind. As long as there is a possibility of achieving it, the whole world will go crazy."
Hunter's expression showed slight dissatisfaction. "So what do you plan to do? Upgrading the original battery to controlled nuclear fusion, where am I supposed to find so many top talents for you?"
Vincent shrugged. "I wasn't planning on doing it all by myself."
"You mean?"
"We are working with top scientists from around the world to study controlled nuclear fusion."
"Huh?" Hunter slammed on the brakes. "Are you crazy? Every scientist involved in the nuclear energy field is a precious gem. How are you going to bypass government control?"
Vincent raised an eyebrow, a slightly wicked smile on his face. "Why skip it? If we're going to do it, we can't do it secretly. We have to do it openly and honestly."
William in the back seat finally understood.
Science knows no borders, but scientists have a homeland.
Although he didn't understand politics, he knew that this technology would inevitably attract competition from various countries.
Instead of worrying about potential disputes and conflicts, it would be better to bring together countries around the world to study controlled nuclear fusion and do our best to curb underhanded actions.
Hunter released the brake and gently pressed the accelerator. "You kid... I know you want to make magic public as soon as possible, which will indeed unite countries around the world, but have you thought about what the Wizarding World will think? If you help us achieve the ultimate energy, they will regard you as a traitor and an enemy."
Vincent shrugged nonchalantly, "So what? Magic can not only achieve controlled nuclear fusion, it can also cure many terminal illnesses and save countless lives."
"I understand—" Hunter said with a bitter smile. "You Wayne family people are really bold, especially you, kid, daring to run around even though you're wanted."
The news about Germany had already spread to every corner of the world, but governments around the world, contrary to their usual practice, stepped forward to refute it, instead allowing public opinion to develop in an increasingly absurd direction.
Things like alien invasion of Earth, doomsday countdown, magicians from parallel universes traveling over, and projections of higher-dimensional worlds into the real world.
Some mystical Seer took the opportunity to release various abstract statements, the most typical being that God sent the world and that humanity should join in the glorious evolution.
The Off-road Vehicle was parked in front of the Lane Hotel in central London.
Before getting out of the car, Hunter tossed the sunglasses to Vincent.
"Isn't this a bit unnecessary?"
"Shut up, you're an international fugitive now."
"I'm not wanted by the Muggle government."
Vincent eventually obediently put on his sunglasses.
The hotel belongs to the Hunter family, so there's no need to worry about safety.
After entering the room, Vincent and William continued their conversation about controlled nuclear fusion.
Since neither of them were professionals in this field, their conversations were limited to theoretical aspects.
As they were chatting, the two suddenly turned to look at Hunter was sitting at the bar drinking alone.
The latter turned around as if sensing something, "What's going on here?"
"Uncle Hunter, your army has quite a few experts in the field of nuclear energy, right?"
The Britain is a nuclear-armed nation, and it not only has a military, but it also has a large one.
Hunter's lips twitched. "I'm just a lowly colonel. Do you think I have the authority to enter the nuclear energy research institute?"
"Oh." Vincent stroked his chin thoughtfully, which gave Hunter a strange sense of foreboding.
Knowing this kid's personality, he might sneak off to find out what's going on later.
Hunter put down his glass with a helpless expression. "You wouldn't be thinking of..."
Vincent smiled and shook his head. "How could that be? Trespassing on military territory is a serious crime."
"Then you..." Hunter did not dispel his doubts.
Vincent grinned, revealing his white teeth, his eyes narrowing into crescent moons, his smile exceptionally sunny and cheerful.
"Uncle Hunter, do you have a way to let me meet with the Queen and the Prime Minister separately?"
"Huh?" Hunter quickly picked at his ears, wondering if he had misheard.
"I want to meet separately with the Queen and the Prime Minister."
Hunter rolled his eyes dramatically.
William stared in horror at the smiling, cheerful Vincent, his large head filled with confusion.
Shouldn't we confirm the feasibility of the theory first, and then contact the government? Why has the order been suddenly reversed?
Hunter immediately noticed William's confusion. "This kid is very proactive. Even if I can't do anything about it, he'll still make a trip to the Buckingham Palace and Downing Street."
He then looked at Vincent, "Didn't you say they had wizards protecting them in secret? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"Let's knock them out first."
Hunter's lips twitched again.
Although it was meant as a joke, it wasn't funny at all.
"What do you think Buckingham Palace and Downing Street are? If I were capable enough to let you meet the Queen and the Prime Minister, would I still be just a lowly colonel?"
Vincent pursed his lips. "I just took three Tornado fighter-bombers to the Germany Reichstag a few days ago."
Hunter was amused and gave a thumbs-up. "Well done, kid, you're really awesome!"
William's brain had completely shut down at this point.
Did they really take three Tornado fighter-bombers to Germany Reichstag? The viral video is actually real, and what happened in Berlin that day was also true!
"Gulp—" William stared blankly at Vincent. "Um, Mr. Wayne, may I ask what your purpose was in going to the Reichstag?"
"I surrendered." Vincent's tone was very calm. "But I failed. The German President didn't intend to punish me under Muggle law. He accepted the compensation and left."
Hunter picked up his glass and took a big gulp of whiskey. "Of course you'll fail. Use our laws to punish you wizards? Do you think they're like your stupid minister? He's probably afraid you'll say something outrageous in court and reveal the existence of magic."
Vincent's nonchalant attitude finally made William realize that this was a truly ruthless person.
If Hunter cannot arrange for him to meet with the Queen and the Prime Minister separately, he might actually dare to go directly to the Buckingham Palace and Downing Street without prior notice.
