Chapter 492 Dr. Gary
“Is the target me?” Fang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “When will he arrive in Xiang City?”
“He’s traveling by private jet, so we can’t track his flight path… but from Europa to the Nine Provinces, it usually takes eight to nine hours,” said Violet.
“Alright, I understand,” Fang Yu replied.
“Once he arrives in Xiang City in the Nine Provinces, I’ll give you his exact location and future movements,” Violet paused, then added, “With that, I’ll have fulfilled your previous request.”
“That won’t do. I originally asked you to find the location of his laboratory or the source of his power core,” Fang Yu said. “You need to find at least one of these two things to complete the task.”
Violet remained silent for a moment, then said with barely contained anger: “If you capture Dr. Gary and interrogate him, you can get all the information you want.”
“We’ll see about that after I question him. At least for now, you haven’t completed your task,” Fang Yu said calmly.
Violet didn’t respond further and hung up the phone.
Dr. Gary…
Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold as he walked into the elevator.
About half an hour later, Fang Yu arrived at a Western restaurant.
Qin Lang was waiting for him at a window seat on the second floor.
“Mr. Fang.”
Qin Lang stood up when he saw Fang Yu approaching.
“What’s the urgent matter?” Fang Yu asked as he sat down across from Qin Lang.
“Actually, it’s not that urgent… I might have sounded too anxious when I called earlier,” Qin Lang said apologetically.
“It’s fine, I was planning to go out for a meal anyway,” Fang Yu said.
“I heard from some friends that this is the best Western restaurant in Nandu. Try the food and see if it lives up to their praise,” Qin Lang said with a smile.
“I’m not very particular about food. When I’m hungry, everything tastes good,” Fang Yu replied.
After ordering, Fang Yu took a sip of water and looked at Qin Lang, saying, “Now you can tell me about that matter.”
“Yes.” Qin Lang straightened his back, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said, “Mr. Fang, you previously injured the two princes of the Nord Royal Family… this incident has had quite an impact in Europa.”
“It’s been a while since I beat up those two, and I haven’t heard anything about it,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
“Prince Joyce of the Nord Royal Family was extremely angry and wanted to send someone to deal with you a month ago… but later, he changed his mind,” Qin Lang said. “I think he must have received news of your defeat of Chen Luo…”
Fang Yu remained silent, waiting for Qin Lang to continue.
“I thought the Nord Royal Family would let the matter drop, but unexpectedly, Prince Joyce is planning to personally visit the Nine Provinces,” Qin Lang said with a deep frown. “And he’s not going anywhere else in the Nine Provinces, but specifically to Xiang City.”
“So, you think he’s coming to cause trouble for me?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s possible. Although on the surface he claims to be negotiating a deal with a prominent family in Xiang City, I believe he has other motives,” Qin Lang said.
“Is this the urgent matter you mentioned?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes,” Qin Lang nodded.
“Then you were indeed overly anxious,” Fang Yu smiled.
He actually found it quite interesting.
Dr. Gary was coming to Nandu, and Prince Joyce was also coming to Nandu.
Did these two arrange to come cause trouble together?
In Fang Yu’s view, this was a good thing, saving him time and effort.
If they came together, he could deal with them together.
“Mr. Fang, Prince Joyce comes from a royal family with deep foundations in Europa, and his status and strength are both formidable,” Qin Lang said hesitantly. “When he arrives in Xiang City, the Martial Arts Association and the Chamber of Commerce will likely treat him like royalty.”
Qin Lang was being very diplomatic.
His implication was that if Fang Yu were to act against Prince Joyce, he would offend not just the Nord Royal Family, but also the Martial Arts Association and the Chamber of Commerce who wanted to maintain good relations with them.
The consequences would be severe. Even though Fang Yu’s strength meant he feared no one, it would certainly bring endless trouble.
If word reached the Martial Arts Association in Yan City and alarmed the Order Keepers, the situation would become even more unmanageable.
Fang Yu was the strongest martial artist Qin Lang had ever met, and he believed Fang Yu would definitely become the most brilliant figure in the Nine Provinces’ martial arts world. Therefore, he didn’t want Fang Yu to be forcibly erased from existence.
“I understand what you mean,” Fang Yu said, “but if he really comes to cause trouble for me, I have no choice. I can’t just stand there and take a beating.”
Qin Lang pressed his lips together and said, “I’ll try to talk to Prince Joyce when the time comes.”
Soon, the food was served.
Fang Yu began eating his steak.
While eating, Qin Lang suddenly remembered something and asked, “Mr. Fang, aren’t you a visiting professor at Nandu University’s Literature Department?”
“Yes, why?” Fang Yu replied.
“Haha, nothing. I received an invitation from Nandu University this morning. Apparently, a famous doctor from Europa is coming to hold a lecture and exhibition on robots at Nandu University. Since you’re also a professor there, I thought…” Qin Lang said with a smile.
“What’s this doctor’s name?” Fang Yu asked.
“I think it’s… Ned Gary?” Qin Lang said after thinking for a moment.
“So it is Dr. Gary,” Fang Yu’s face broke into a slight smile.
“Mr. Fang, you know him?” Qin Lang asked in surprise.
“We’ve had a few exchanges, but haven’t met in person,” Fang Yu said.
“They say he’s quite famous in Europa, has won many awards, and is knowledgeable in many fields, though his expertise is supposedly in biology and robotics,” Qin Lang said. “Since you know him, why don’t we go to Nandu University together tomorrow to see him?”
“Sure,” Fang Yu agreed.
…
At ten o’clock the next morning, Fang Yu and Qin Lang arrived together at the academic lecture hall of Nandu University.
Dr. Gary’s lecture and robot exhibition would be held here.
This lecture wasn’t just for students; many entrepreneurs like Qin Lang had also been invited.
The lecture was scheduled to begin at ten-thirty, and when Fang Yu and Qin Lang arrived, many seats in the lecture hall were still empty.
The invited entrepreneurs were seated in the front rows.
Fang Yu and Qin Lang took seats in the second row.
“Young Master Qin!”
At this moment, many entrepreneurs noticed Qin Lang and came forward to greet him.
“Young Master Qin, I didn’t expect you to be interested in the emerging robotics industry,” said a balding middle-aged man sitting next to Qin Lang.
“Just came to take a look,” Qin Lang replied.
“If even you are here to see this, it proves this industry really has potential, haha… Young Master Qin, if you ever decide to venture into this industry, remember to contact me. Our Shengtan Industries may not understand technology well, but we’re the leaders in materials in Xiang City…” the bald man said loudly.
Qin Lang smiled and continued chatting with the bald man.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu was observing the gradually filling lecture hall.
Group after group of students poured in, taking seats in the back rows.
The entire lecture hall could accommodate about a thousand people, and by ten-twenty, it was almost full.
Not only were the student seats filled, but even the first two rows reserved for entrepreneurs were completely occupied.
“It seems this Dr. Gary is quite impressive. Many entrepreneurs in Xiang City are interested in his robots,” Qin Lang whispered to Fang Yu.
As more people gathered, the atmosphere in the lecture hall became quite lively.
“Dr. Gary is the man Time magazine called the modern-day Da Vinci… I can’t believe he’s coming to our Nandu University!”
“Yeah, someone of his caliber should be giving lectures at those two universities in Yan City… why would he choose us?”
“Isn’t it great that he’s coming? We’ll get to see his robots that are a hundred years ahead of the industry! They say they’re as amazing as Iron Man from the movies!”
The students were discussing excitedly.
In the front rows, the entrepreneurs were quietly discussing how to collaborate with Dr. Gary to mass-produce functional commercial robots.
Time quickly reached ten-thirty.
At the front of the lecture hall was a podium.
A silver-haired man with shoulder-length hair walked out from backstage and approached the podium.
He was extremely handsome, immediately attracting the gaze of many women in the audience.
“Hello everyone, I am Dr. Gary,” the silver-haired man picked up the microphone and said with a smile, speaking in Nine Provinces language with a slight accent.
