95: Chapter 95 Guaranteed to be Satisfying

Su Dai?

Gao Yuan felt like laughing when he thought back to the man's miserable state at the club; that brother was indeed someone who could be utilized.

His current transformation from a person of unknown origin to an official of the Development General Administration was also something Su Dai had arranged.

"Gao Gan, I have one more question. Can other people pass through the Space-Time Gate?"

Gao Gan shook his head.

"This space-time channel is bound to you. The so-called gate is actually a space-time node connecting two worlds! No one but you can travel through it!"

"That's not right. Then how did Gao Qiu come back?"

"He was the master of this space-time node before. If he hadn't come back, you would never have been able to activate the Space-Time Gate!"

So that was it!

"Then will my actions over there have any impact on this side?"

If this was a thousand years in the future, even a tiny change on his part would result in a massive shift by the time it reached this era after a millennium of accumulation.

"Haha, you've already done so much, and you're only asking this now? Isn't it a bit late?"

Gao Yuan didn't speak, but instead looked at Gao Gan.

Gao Gan stepped in front of Gao Yuan. "Do you know about parallel worlds? Actually, the two worlds you travel between are two similar but independent worlds. Time... can be slowed down, but it can never flow backward. Do you understand? Be scientific!"

Gao Yuan was stunned...

He was literally traveling between two worlds, yet this man claiming to be his brother was telling him to be scientific.

This was just too jarring.

However, Gao Gan's words made sense. If there were a causal relationship between the two worlds, then after everything he had done, the Future World would have surely undergone significant changes. Since nothing had changed at all, it proved that the two worlds were essentially unrelated.

This realization allowed Gao Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief.

In that case, he could go all out without holding back.

...

Leaving the Gao Family residence.

Gao Yuan was filled with emotion. He had been walking on thin ice, being extremely cautious since arriving in the Future World, only to find out it was all a scheme laid out by an old man.

So, which world did he actually belong to?

For over twenty years, he had absolutely no memory of the Future World and never even knew of its existence. But now Gao Gan was saying he was his younger brother, a native of the Future World, born with the hope of breaking the shackles for its people.

This put a lot of pressure on Gao Yuan.

He really wanted to see Gao Qiu now, to see this 'father' who had played the role of his grandfather for twenty years. Did he have nothing to say to him?

Since Gao Qiu was still in the Asteroid Belt, Gao Yuan didn't have time to go there for the moment. Both the real world and the Future World had a mountain of matters waiting for him to handle.

With Su Dai's precedent at the club, things should be stable for a while. Even Su Dai had suffered a setback, so others eyeing his business would just have to hold back.

However, as for the Department of Information, Gao Yuan definitely had to go take a look.

While he might not see anything top-secret, it would at least be far more than the information publicly available on the network.

Previously, Gao Yuan only wanted to gain a foothold here to get resources and technology to stir things up in the real world.

This official identity was a protective charm.

But now, everything had changed.

He was originally part of the true elite. He didn't know what to expect from this trip to take up his post in Shangjing.

Gao Gan had arranged an intercity flying car for Gao Yuan, which was much more comfortable than the public transport he had taken before.

Calling it a car was an understatement; it was essentially a flying villa.

Shangjing was three thousand kilometers from Gaojing and eight hundred kilometers from Longjing, with a flight time of one hour.

This was also the first time Gao Yuan could see the world in a 360-degree panoramic view from a flying car.

The entire world looked lush and green, dotted with eight gray spots amidst the greenery. Each one was a supercity with a population far exceeding that of Cathay in the real world.

Concentrating the population indeed makes it easier to control.

This thought popped into Gao Yuan's head.

He suddenly laughed. What the hell? Why was he thinking about things from this perspective?

He just wanted to make some money!

...

Arriving at the Shangjing Aero-port, Gao Yuan stepped out of the flying car and saw a spirited Su Dai actually waiting there to greet him.

Gao Yuan quickened his pace.

Mutual respect was key. Regardless of how they were before, Su Dai had orchestrated his current position, so he definitely had to show some respect.

Gao Yuan sped up.

A smile played on his face.

"Young Master Su, why did you come in person?"

Seeing Gao Yuan, Su Dai felt emotional. None of the Gao Family members were easy to deal with.

Starting from Gao Qiu, it was like they wanted to dig up the roots of the three major families in the Development General Administration. Then came Gao Gan, who constantly pushed for new technologies in an attempt to break the monopoly. However, both had failed.

Now, the third generation of the Gao Family, Gao Yuan, had emerged. His first move was unconventional—opening a club in the Qin Family's territory in Longjing.

That club really had something to it.

A few days ago, when he was arranging for Gao Yuan to become the Director of the Department of Information.

He had originally wanted to do it quietly, because the Gao Family had always been a thorn in the side of the top-tier families, who only refrained from acting because of public opinion!

If he were to do something for the Gao kid, his father would surely scold him if he found out.

But unexpectedly, his father had called him for a talk that night.

Not only did he not scold him, but he even praised him with a look of gratification.

He said that as long as Gao Yuan was kept under their noses, he wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble, and the Gao Family... would be finished.

He also said that this third generation, Gao Yuan, was incompetent. The Qin Family in Longjing were allies of the Gao Family, both coming from the Human Federation Council. If Gao Yuan stayed in Longjing, the Su Family could at most annoy him, but there wasn't much they could actually do.

But Gao Yuan insisted on coming to Shangjing...

That was walking right into the trap.

In Shangjing, he would be a canary in a cage.

Thinking of this, Su Dai was all smiles. Gao Yuan was his lucky star. He had never been valued at home; his eldest and second brothers held positions in vital departments, while he was the only one with nothing to do, living a life of debauchery.

But after meeting Gao Yuan, his father had actually started to see him in a new light.

"Gao Yuan, I've been waiting for you for two days. What took you so long?"

"I went back to Gaojing! Young Master Su, this is for you!"

Gao Yuan pulled a small box of cigars from his pocket. These were given to him by Li Bingxi when they met, as a testament to their friendship!

Now, Gao Yuan was giving this box of cigars to Su Dai, also as a testament to their friendship.

These top-tier cigars were valuable items even in the real world, let alone in the Future World.

The playboy Su Dai had one merit: he knew his stuff.

He opened it, took a look, and sniffed the aroma.

"Hiss, good stuff! Even my old man hasn't seen these! Do you have any more?"

"Just this one box. It's a one-of-a-kind!"

"You're a real pal! It wasn't in vain that I pulled those strings for you! Let's go, I'll take you in to meet the big shots of the Development General Administration! You'll be their colleague from now on!"

The two walked out of the Aero-port with their arms around each other's shoulders, looking like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

"Gao Yuan, in Shangjing, I'm the host. You invited me to your club before, so tonight I've arranged some entertainment for you! Hehe, guaranteed to satisfy!"
