68 If You Dare to Bully Her Again, I’ll Erase Your Name from Preston
Floyd Gardner, the representative of the Eastern Organization, nodded in support of Quentin Hunt.
“We need evidence to speak for itself,” the old man said solemnly. “Do you have any evidence to back up your doubts?”
“There’s no need for evidence because the person who made this anti-gravity device is standing right here!”
Xana Thomas stuck out her chest proudly.
The people from the three organizations were all whispering to each other, trying to guess who it was.
Only Colin Spades slowly stood up and chuckled. “The person who made the anti-gravity device must be Mr. Neal, the youngest dean-level professor since the establishment of Preston University!”
“Hey, how did you know that?” Xana was stunned.
Colin was not good at other things, but he was very good at judging people’s abilities. The a.s.sistants behind him were even more surprised!
He was probably the only dean-level professor in the country at such a young age!
Braydon Neal said, “You want evidence? The parts used to build this anti-gravity device are all temporary parts. They can be regarded as experimental products. They are far from the guaranteed success rate of the finished product. After three to five experiments, the whole machine will be rendered useless!”
As the designer, Braydon naturally knew the fatal flaw.
“Nonsense!” Quentin retorted. “I tested it seven times last night!”
“That’s the zero-load state of the machine. It can only be used three times when it’s fully loaded!”
Braydon walked up to the stage indifferently.
Quentin lifted the red cloth and started the anti-gravity machine again. Everyone looked at the round and square machine. It slowly floated to the ceiling, which made Floyd and the others exclaim.
“It’s really a scientific miracle. The breakthrough in the field of anti-gravity will lead the entire aeros.p.a.ce industry in taking a huge step forward!” Colin was surprised.
“Braydon, the anti-gravity device is fine. I’m afraid you’re going to be left disappointed!” Quentin sneered.
“The core components inside have reached their limits. Didn’t you notice that the machine’s noise has become louder?” Braydon glanced at the machine and saw right through its flaws.
He was right.
Quentin’s expression changed.
The floating machine trembled slightly and suddenly lost its power source. The machine stopped operating and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
“Stop!” Dawson Lablanc roared in shock and anger. “Stop the operation!”
“It’s too late!”
Xana rolled her eyes.
With a bang, the machine crashed onto the exhibition stand, leaving Quentin dumbfounded.
The machine had really broken down.
Dawson’s face was pale. He knew that this anti-gravity device was the only one in the world, and it had been damaged.
“Professor Lablanc,” Colin said, “since the machine was made by you, you should be clear about the cause of the damage and can distinguish the various parts, right?”
This question was undoubtedly a fatal question.
All the parts of the anti-gravity device were made by Braydon on the spot. Once it was completely dismantled, these people would not be able to a.s.semble it in a short period of time.
Quentin still refused to give up. He knew that today’s opportunity was the greatest chance in his life to achieve success.
He stepped forward to dismantle the machine but found that he had no way to start. The entire anti-gravity machine was built with a hidden latch. Once it was locked, it could not be opened at all!
It could be opened if it were destroyed by an external force, but it would damage the components inside.
“Mr. Quentin, don’t you know how to dismantle the machine you made?” Colin asked with a faint smile.
Quentin’s face was extremely gloomy.
“Actually, the anti-gravity machine was designed and made by teacher Neal. We couldn’t even recognize all the parts last night!” Yvonne Lars said in a low voice.
Colin’s eyes were filled with disdain when the truth was revealed in one sentence.
Floyd stood up and said angrily, “You’re the sc.u.m of the scientific community. Someone else helped you complete the research, but you kicked them out. You refuse to acknowledge their efforts to the outside world. You reap what you sow!”
“Senior Quentin, why don’t you continue arguing?”
Xana rolled her eyes. She had never seen such a shameless person.
Braydon turned around and left.
As for Dawson, Braydon did not want to care about him. 90% of the profits from the finished product patent belonged to the Neal Corporation!
They had already promised each other, but Dawson and the others went back on their word overnight. They could not blame Braydon for making things ugly for them.
Floyd quickly caught up with him. “Professor Neal, wait a moment. The Eastern Organization is willing to provide you with the funds to set up a research team. We can provide you with at least eight professor-level members to help you develop anti-gravity devices!”
“Professor Gardner’s conditions are really tempting!” Colin stood up and walked over.
“Professor Neal, our manufacturing company, Starbright Manufacturing, provides all kinds of pa.s.senger plane parts for two civil aviation corporations in the country. We also have the ability to manufacture large planes. We have more than 300 members in the R&D Department. They can all help you, Professor Neal!
“As for the funding, I can take it as a promise to Professor Neal. In the next five years, Starbright Manufacturing will invest no less than two billion!”
Colin had a powerful backer behind him and was rich and generous. Floyd simply could not compare with him.
The two organizations had offered the best conditions, which made Quentin and the others on the exhibition stage envious. They were only one step away from these things, but they had been completely destroyed by Braydon!
At the door, Braydon stopped and said indifferently, “Xandra!”
“Young Master!”
Xandra lived with the Neal family and was the Vice President of the Neal Corporation.
She chuckled. “Mr. Spades, Professor Gardner, you don’t have to waste your time. My young master doesn’t lack money. I’ve been authorized by President Silas Queen to control 290 billion foreign liquid funds. There’s no need to report it to him. Everything is at my young master’s hands!”
Colin was stunned!
They all knew Xandra’s background. She had the support of the PG Corporation and was the president of Asia Pacific Investment Group. She had 290 billion dollars in her hands and could buy Starbright Manufacturing directly.
Quentin and the others on the research platform were stunned!
They all knew that Braydon was rich, but they never thought that Braydon would be this rich.
Colin smiled wryly. “Professor Neal, the anti-gravity technology is undoubtedly the most suitable for use in the aviation field when installed on a pa.s.senger plane. I know you don’t lack money, but Starbright Manufacturing can provide you with all the help for free. I only hope that when the technology matures, Starbright Manufacturing can become Professor Neal’s first partner!”
His words were sincere, and he humbled himself before Braydon.
Braydon thought for a while, looked at Xana and chuckled. “Talk to her about this matter. She’ll be in charge of this matter from now on!”
“Alright!” Colin was overjoyed.
“Genius Neal!” Xana was also surprised.
All three parties would benefit from the cooperation!
At the moment, they needed to build a new research lab, and Colin would bear the responsibility. Starbright Manufacturing specialized in the mechanical field, and the machines needed by the research lab could be transferred over in a short time.
Xana took out her phone and dialed a number. Her tone was cold, “Dad, I’ve made a deal with Braydon!”
“Xana, well done. I’ll arrange for someone to go and handle it!” The Thomas family’s chairman had just finished speaking when Xana’s bright eyes dimmed. She seemed to have already guessed this arrangement.
She had been the one doing all the work, but in the end, she had to hand over the results to someone else and withdraw from this whole thing.
Braydon held Xana’s cold hands and took the phone. “The person in charge of the research lab is Xana. You’re her father, so you shouldn’t bully her!”
“Who are you? You don’t need to care about the Thomas family’s business!” The Thomas family’s chairman shouted coldly.
Braydon smiled. “Xana and Joseph’s personalities suit my temperament. I don’t have many friends in my life. Now that I’m back in Preston, this pair of siblings can be considered my friends!
“If the Thomas family bullies her again, I’ll erase your Thomas family’s name from Preston!”
Braydon’s tone was calm, but it was hard to hide his overbearing tone.
