Chương 33: The Red Head

The sun rose over the eastern horizon. As it rose higher and its rays warmed the air, the bustle and hustle of Manhattan began to emerge. Cars filled the streets and pedestrians passed by on the sidewalks.

People began their activities, and the employees at Mors Industries were no exception. In the lab room where men and women wore long white coats and tubes of arcana were lined up, Jonathan was busy with his computer.

The dark-skinned man looked sleep-deprived, his eye bags looked swollen and there were dark circles around his eyes. Jonathan was a man of great enthusiasm, especially when it came to arcana. Once given the facilities and funding, he would have wasted no time in unraveling the mysteries behind the arcana.

"Electromagnetic waves, gamma radiation, ultrasonic waves, none of them react."

Sitting slumped in a chair, Jonathan rested his body that was tired from working all night. The man worked 16 hours a day just to research arcana. He often slept in the office and even showered once a week on weekends.

As Jonathan closed his eyes, the door slammed and startled him. Several other employees were also surprised because they were too focused on their work.

"Jonathan, what about research!"

Hearing a familiar voice say his name, Jonathan quickly jumped up from his seat, the man gasped when he saw Klaus coming with a smiling face.

"Ah, sorry Klaus. I was up all night—"

"Nah, nah, it's okay. I know you're not sleeping well, I can see that. And I know you take a lot of overtime. No need to worry."

Klaus hugged him as if they were close, while Jonathan sighed. After all, Klaus was his boss.

"By the way, how is your research going? Have you gotten any results?" Klaus asked the lab researchers, but they seemed unsure.

He immediately knew that his men were not producing any results at all, and he would not be surprised. The researchers funded by the government had been researching arcana for 10 years and had not produced any results, let alone those who had only started for less than a month.

Klaus sighed. "It's okay. I won't get angry. By the way, I've got something for you guys. You'll definitely like it."

The researchers twisted their faces in curiosity, Jonathan was also one of them.

Klaus threw a stack of papers stapled by a paperclip onto the table where Jonathan was, and he motioned for him to open it. With some curiosity, Jonathan opened the contents and read it.

The longer Jonathan read, the wider his eyes opened. He opened sheet after sheet, and his hands were trembling and the expression on his face expressed disbelief.

"Holy shit."

"What do you think?" asked Klaus.

"It's... absolutely unbelievable."

The papers contained information about formulas and theories about arcana. Everything written on it was explained clearly and in detail. Anyone who read it would understand if they had experience with arcana.

This was quite astonishing to Jonathan. If this information was widely circulated, people might already be able to produce arcana, they could even make it themselves.

"Where did you get this, Klaus!?" Jonathan was too enthusiastic, shaking Klaus spontaneously.

"Don't think you're the only one on my team. I have several connections and friends who also research arcana. It's a secret only we know."

Of course, Klaus was lying about this. After successfully obtaining the [Eye of Laplace], he put everything on the paper that he had acquired in his first life.

He could have handed over this formula from the start, but he waited until the [Eye of Laplace] could actually function properly because this arcana was a vital part of his grand plan later.

"Eugene, come here!"

Jonathan asked his assistant to make a copy of the papers. Afterwards, the assistant distributed the paper copies to the research team members. When they read it, they gasped and dropped their jaws.

The dark-skinned man suddenly looked happy even though he hadn't slept for the past 24 hours.

"Wow, this is really amazing. I didn't know that it requires 'runes' and 'materials' in the creation of arcana. Science had thought that arcana was only related to the interaction of objects with mana. Turns out they were wrong all along, it's just like a computer."

Klaus nodded, as if he also had just found out. "I think so too. But you need to study it further to prove the truth."

A computer needed hardware, an operating system, and electricity to operate it, and this also applied to arcana. It required special materials in order to have an effect on the user, the higher the quality the stronger the effect. And it needed a system called "runes" for the user to access its benefits. And then mana functioned as energy, so that arcana could be operated..

"Excuse me, Klaus. I want to try something," Jonathan said.

"Go ahead."

Jonathan made a dash to the other researchers. Klaus stood in the corner of the room, watching as his men worked enthusiastically. To him, this was a sight more beautiful than a sunset.

Klaus could have given them a blueprint to make an arcana immediately, but if he did, He was worried that they wouldn't be able to develop and that they couldn't produce anything without his direction. He let them learn on their own so that they would understand.

Besides, Klaus was a businessman. He wanted his men to be motivated to keep working. A person would be happy if they got an achievement, and the achievement of the researchers was invention. That way, their productivity would increase.

"At least it takes them a month or two to come up with an invention," Klaus thought.

As he was watching his men work, Sheila suddenly came up to him.

"What's going on? I told you I don't want to meet anyone."

"Boss, that woman, Sylvia Brown. She wants to see you."

An unexpected surprise came to Klaus. He thought that he had no more business with that woman.
