It had gone more or less as he expected.From this meeting, Joseph could roughly confirm one thing—several members of the investigation team had likely known him from before.They recognized him—but due to the nature of their roles, they couldn’t openly acknowledge that fact.Perhaps, once upon a time, he had shared some connection with them.Unfortunately, so much of his past remained a blur.“Principal, Professor Wilson,” Leonard Sanchez chimed in, “this investigation went more smoothly than I imagined. It seems the academic elders from Metropolis City hold Professor Wilson in high regard.”“I believe it’s more than just admiration,” Geoffrey Harris said, shaking his head with a thoughtful air. “Judging by their attitude, there’s something deeper at play.”“Oh? How so?” Leonard asked, intrigued.His question was intended to gauge Geoffrey Harris’s thoughts.“These senior members of the investigation team—not only do they admire Professor Wilson, but they also seem... unusually prote

Confronted by Eryndor Vexley's piercing gaze, Charles Martin faltered. The words he had carefully prepared slipped from his mind in a flurry of panic.“I—” he stammered, his voice trembling.“I’ll ask you just once,” Eryndor said coldly. “Do you have evidence, or do you not? A simple yes or no will suffice.”“I... I don’t, but—” Charles Martin stuttered, trying to justify himself.But before he could finish, Eryndor Vexley cut him off.“That’s enough. No need to say more. If your only reason for suspecting Professor Wilson is his youth, then there is nothing further to discuss.”“This world is full of gifted young minds—prodigies whose achievements defy ordinary understanding.”“Mr. Martin, if people could be condemned based solely on baseless speculation like yours, wouldn't society descend into chaos?”Eryndor’s voice was glacial, each word sharper than the last. His impression of Charles Martin had deteriorated to its lowest point. This man was clearly driven by self-interest, obse

After hearing Joseph’s words, Gerald Ortiz fell into thoughtful silence for a moment.“There’s some truth to what you say, but it’s not entirely convincing either,” he said slowly. “After all, science has yet to explain whether metaphysics truly exists, just as it cannot fully explain why we exist at all.”“From a scientific standpoint, anything that cannot be proven should not be hastily defined or dismissed.”“Remember, even some of the greatest minds in scientific history believed that the end of science might just be the beginning of metaphysics.”Gerald Ortiz smiled as he spoke.“It seems that old Mr. Ortiz keeps a rather open mind about many things,” Joseph replied with a grin.“Naturally. As a man of science, one must accept objective facts, face one’s own ignorance and limitations without fear—only then can true progress be made,” Gerald added.As the two continued their conversation, Lincoln Myers was nearing the end of his report.However, since Joseph had been engrossed in

"Esteemed elders," Joseph said with an embarrassed smile, "the fields you’ve dedicated yourselves to are at the very frontier of national innovation. How could I, of all people, presume to discuss such profound topics alongside you?"Beyond his modesty, he was genuinely uncertain—he had forgotten so much that he wasn’t even sure what he knew anymore."Research thrives on discussion and exchange. We say you understand, so you must. I can tell just from looking at you.""Exactly. You're a professor at Nova University—an academic by title and by knowledge. Naturally, we'd like to talk shop with you.""I’m sure Mr. Wilson has unique insights on nuclear energy development and applications."The elders continued to engage him with warmth and enthusiasm, leaving Joseph at a loss for how to respond.As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the conference room. Everyone took their seats while the university staff served tea.It was a spacious room. The three team leaders and Geoffrey Ha

Geoffrey Harris stood frozen, momentarily speechless.He wasn’t the only one. Lincoln Myers and Malcolm Gray both looked equally stunned, while Charles Martin wore a face full of confusion.What the hell? Was this supposed to be an investigation team? Because it felt more like Joseph’s fan club.Anyone with eyes could see it—these people were clearly protecting Joseph.Charles Martin couldn’t make sense of it. The members of this so-called team were high-ranking and influential figures, the cream of the crop in their respective fields.How could someone like Joseph possibly have bought them off?Was that even possible?“Dear investigators, according to protocol, the subject of the investigation is not permitted to attend the meeting,” Lincoln Myers finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up."What protocol? Rules are dead things—people are not. What’s wrong with letting someone sit in and listen?""Exactly. What could possibly be said about Mr. Wilson that can’t be said to his face? Are

Joseph stepped forward with a calm smile."Good day, everyone. I'm Joseph—the one scheduled for this investigation."He extended his hand to each of the three bald elders, who greeted him warmly, their faces full of congeniality as they shook his hand."Look at that—truly the scholarly giants of Metropolis City. Just look how friendly they all seem," Lincoln Myers murmured from the back, rubbing his own shiny dome as he spoke to Malcolm Gray."I don’t know why," Malcolm replied, also rubbing his bald head, "but I feel a strange sense of familiarity too.""Mr. Wilson, investigation sounds so harsh. We’re only here for a friendly visit," Eryndor Vexley chuckled."I don’t know why, but you three feel oddly familiar," Joseph said, his eyes scanning the trio with a faint frown.At his words, the three bald men visibly tensed, the smiles on their faces faltering."Are you sure you’ve seen us before?" Eryndor asked, nervously rubbing his smooth scalp."Not certain. It’s just a feeling," Jose
