Jealousy Twists His Features!

Alex's undercover work in the lower districts and Jack's reluctant role as a boss were both difficult, but neither found any clues about Danton Black, as he had already escaped the lower districts and was hiding in Jones Town.

Originally a middle-class residential area in Central City, this place called Naan Residential Area is located in the southern part of Central City, built in a forest near the outskirts of the city, with a not-too-high hill.

The scene of the setting sun in the evening! The golden afterglow spills over the mountaintop, very beautiful!

Inside a three-story red cottage, under the bedroom bed, were traces of blood and a faint smell of decomposition left by the owner's family.

'Crack... hiss...'

Danton Black took a can of Goose Island Sophie Beer from the refrigerator and casually popped it open with his finger. The aroma of pale lemon peel and dry orange peel beer wafted from the aluminum can, filling the living room with a sizzling scent.

Danton Black walked to the sofa and flopped down heavily, as if he were in his own home, feeling relaxed and free. He squinted, took a swig of Goose Island Sophie Beer, and the taste of pale lemon peel and dry orange peel exploded on his taste buds with a sizzling aroma.

"Hoo!"

He let out a heavy sigh, the pervasive smell of beer spreading through the house, carrying a hint of intoxication. He loved this kind of life, living in a drunken stupor, unrestrained, and utterly free, unable to stop himself.

A faint smile played on his lips as he casually rested his feet on the coffee table, crossed them, picked up the remote control from beside the sofa, and turned on the TV.

"Those cops must be trembling in their boots!"

Danton Black's new form of entertainment was to taunt the Central City police. He had never thought of challenging or breaking rules, or playing tricks on law enforcement officers. Watching their helpless, fearful expressions as they desperately called for backup within his encirclement was such an amusing thing.

This feeling of dominating their lives, of making them crawl at his feet, was truly wonderful.

He took another heavy gulp of beer, a smile on his lips, waiting to see the police on TV looking disheveled under the reporters' relentless questioning.

"Controlled Nuclear Fusion is a noble energy source, and nuclear fusion reactions primarily utilize hydrogen isotopes. Nuclear fusion does not produce the long-term, high-level nuclear radiation associated with nuclear fission, nor does it produce nuclear waste or greenhouse gases, and it barely pollutes the environment. Once controlled nuclear fusion is truly achieved, it will be a..."

Danton Black glanced dismissively at the TV, scoffing at the exaggerated claims on the screen.

He was also a nuclear physics expert and knew full well the difficulty of achieving controlled nuclear fusion. From a scientific and technological perspective, it was currently impossible to achieve controlled nuclear fusion. For now, it was merely a fantasy about nuclear energy.

Of course, if someone were to actually achieve controlled nuclear fusion, they would undoubtedly be a great figure of this era, remembered for generations, the pioneer of a pollution-free energy era. It was unimaginable what kind of wealth, power, and status they would possess, standing at the pinnacle of humanity.

But it was impossible; the science and technology of this era were not yet sufficient to achieve controlled nuclear fusion.

Danton Black took a sip of Goose Island Sophie Beer, letting the aroma of pale lemon peel and dry orange peel explode in his mouth, and pressed the remote control.

He wasn't interested in the science channel's exaggerated speculations; he wanted to see his own wanted poster on TV and the disheveled state of the Central City police to add some amusement to his life.

"In 1939, American physicist Bethe experimentally confirmed that by accelerating a deuterium atomic nucleus with an accelerator and colliding it at extremely high speeds with a tritium atomic nucleus, the two nuclei fused to form a new atomic nucleus—helium, plus a free neutron. In this process, 17.6 megaelectron volts of energy were released. This is the principle behind the sun's continuous light and heat for 4.5 billion years..."

Danton Black frowned. Why was the TV all about nuclear fusion? He pressed the remote control again.

"The advent of controlled nuclear fusion marks the arrival of humanity's next technological explosion..."

Danton Black's brow furrowed deeply. He lost interest in the Goose Island Sophie Beer in his hand. The continuous TV channels were all talking about controlled nuclear fusion, and there was no mention of him at all, which made him quite displeased.

He should be the center of the world!

Danton Black's face darkened, his heart growing agitated. He kept pressing the TV remote control forcefully. The next few channels all coincidentally explained or speculated about the future where controlled nuclear fusion would appear, and how humanity would enter the space age, and other unrealistic things.

And there was no report whatsoever about the "great achievements" he had made.

Danton Black's face fell, his annoyance clearly visible. The spot on the remote he kept pressing was pushed in deeply, and the plastic of the remote cracked under his grip.

Suddenly.

As the channels flickered, Danton Black saw a familiar face. He froze for a moment and then abruptly pressed back to the original channel.

"Dr. Martin Stein will visit Central City on November 15th to give a lecture on his published work on controlled nuclear fusion at the Central City New Expo Hall. Many high-level executives from the U.S. Department of Energy, the head of STAR Labs' branch, Ferris Air, LexCorp, and others will be present."

"There is confirmed information that Martin Stein will collaborate with leading global corporations to establish a comprehensive controlled nuclear fusion group, leading the future world's energy sector."

"It is foreseeable that this group will become the world's top energy conglomerate, gradually dominating all current global energy resources in the future."

"Martin Stein, the man who perfected controlled nuclear fusion, the future world's richest man, and arguably the person with the most power and wealth in the future."

Danton Black looked at Martin Stein on the TV, and his feet gently came down from the coffee table, his eyes fixed on the screen.

The person on the TV screen was exactly the same as he remembered, with no difference at all!

But!

How could something like controlled nuclear fusion be researched and developed so easily?

This was impossible!

Danton Black's eyes ached from staring. He tightly gripped the Goose Island Sophie Beer in his hand, crushing it. The orange-yellow beer liquid flowed out from the opening, and a trace of coolness flowed onto his skin, jolting him awake from his stunned state.

"This is impossible!"

Danton Black's heart pounded as if it were being squeezed, threatening to leap out of his chest. Blood surged through his veins, and his face flushed slightly.

He refused to believe such a thing. How could it be possible!

That was controlled nuclear fusion. He knew better than anyone what kind of immense change possessing the technology for controlled nuclear fusion would bring to the world.

It could be said that with controlled nuclear fusion, with this clean, pollution-free energy source, Martin Stein could possess endless wealth, become the leader of this era, a great man, with money, fame, and status, possessing everything!

Danton Black's eyes felt sore and red.

"Fuck! How is this possible!"

Quickly, Danton Black stood up, crossed the sofa, and went into the bedroom. He ignored the stench of the corpses under the bed in the bedroom and directly opened his computer. His mood was agitated, and he kept tapping his foot while waiting for the computer to boot up.

After the Microsoft startup screen, he quickly opened a website, directly typing in "World Science Magazine," and opened all the published reports on global science and technology.

Easily, he found the report on Dr. Martin Stein's Controlled Nuclear Fusion. His eyes scanned the text, and he scrolled down with his mouse.

It was a very complete theory. But theory alone wasn't enough. What was most critical was that, based on his theory, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Organization had simulated some data a day prior, and it perfectly matched the report.

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Organization was preparing to conduct formal experiments and had already officially invited Dr. Martin Stein to participate.

This meant the report was completely real and valid, capable of creating actual Controlled Nuclear Fusion energy.

"Impossible!"

With a bang, Danton Black's mind was struck by lightning, leaving him dazed and utterly disbelieving.

The superior who had reported him for stealing equipment and then disappeared was now, at this very moment, the king of the world!

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Danton Black's breathing grew heavy, his heart pounding wildly in his chest. His eyes turned red, and an unbearable jealousy surged through his mind, consuming his thoughts.

The thought of Dr. Martin Stein being worshipped by the world, hailed as a great man, possessing everything in this world – money, fame, power, status – all of it. Then, remembering how Dr. Martin Stein had reported him, that hypocritical, self-righteous facade, made Danton Black's emotions even more intense and restless. His image flashed repeatedly in his mind.

Why?

I am the superior one!

I should possess everything!

You should all grovel at my feet!

His eyes red, he grabbed a chair and smashed it into the computer.

Crash

The screen exploded, sparks flying.

"I am the king of the world!"

His face contorted, his emotions surging. His skin flushed red with anger, he panted heavily, his gaze filled with deep hatred for Dr. Martin Stein.

Jealousy twisted his features!
