I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 865 - 519: Good People Will Be Rewarded

Chapter 865: Chapter 519: Good People Will Be Rewarded

The elevator went up to the eighth floor, but instead of rushing to Summit Games’ front desk to find someone, Sophia Camp pulled Harrison Clark aside and chatted with him for a while.

Only then did Harrison Clark find out who Sophia’s boyfriend was.

A professional esports player and a top game designer named Daniel Butler, who was also in the list he provided to Julia Lambert.

Compared to the currently famous duo of Richey Clark and Angela Hart, Daniel Butler’s rise to fame was much earlier.

Although Daniel Butler is only twenty-five years old and the same age as Harrison Clark, he had already become an unstoppable force in the world of King of Fighters arcade machines at the age of seven, gaining fame in Cherry City, and being known as the Esports Prodigy and the Child Emperor of King of Fighters.

Later, as the Child Emperor’s fame grew, reporters came knocking on his door for interviews, and his father discovered that his precious son had been “addicted to gaming” since the first grade of elementary school, resulting in a good beating on the spot.

...

After that, Child Emperor Daniel Butler was brutally suppressed, concealed his talent, and became a legend in the esports world until he had a falling out with his father at the age of sixteen and ran away from home.

By that time, King of Fighters had already declined, and there were no competitions that could support him, so he moved on to StarCraft. Daniel Butler started playing the game in January, participated in city challenge matches in February, and won a world-class championship just four months later, entering the Hall of Fame.

Later, Daniel Butler successively fought in many competitive games, and after winning the world championship in a MOBA game at the age of 25, he retired from the esports scene.

According to his own words, he clearly perceived that his nerve response speed had slowed down after the age of 25, and no matter how hard he practiced, he could not catch up with his former self. Rather than being ridiculed after falling from his peak, he decided to retire and move on to the second battlefield of life.

Following the normal historical trajectory, Daniel Butler first found a job at a well-known game development company, but quit to start his own business after less than two years.

His entrepreneurial life was not exactly smooth sailing, as he frequently encountered setbacks. The reason for his setbacks was not poor product quality, but his excessive idealism as a severe sufferer of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was too much of a perfectionist when it came to his work, always exceeding his investors’ budgets, and eventually only being able to produce half-finished products or burning millions of dollars in funding without producing anything publishable.

Before Harrison Clark founded Summit Games and began developing Compound Eye Crisis, Daniel Butler had reached the top several times and also hit rock bottom multiple times.

Harrison Clark focused on him because his personal financial resources could make up for Daniel Butler’s only shortcoming – being “poor.”

Moreover, Harrison Clark’s strict demands and high standards for Compound Eye Crisis were perhaps even more exaggerated than Daniel Butler’s.

It was most appropriate for Daniel Butler to work for him.

Harrison Clark wanted to bring him into his own company to form the three-horse chariot of Summit Games together with Richey Clark and Angela Hart.

Harrison Clark didn’t know the details of Julia Lambert’s talent acquisition, but after hearing Sophia Camp’s account, he learned that Daniel Butler had initially received an offer from another big company in Oxfordshire Culture Industry Park and had initially declined Julia Lambert’s offer.

However, it was later not clear where Daniel Butler had heard that the office location of Summit Games was in TM Building, so he willingly asked for a salary reduction and actively approached Julia Lambert to go back on his word and join them instead.

As for how Sophia Camp and Daniel Butler met, it had little to do with Harrison Clark bringing Daniel Butler to their company.

The two of them had known each other for a long time, as early as before Daniel Butler became the Child Emperor of King of Fighters, when they were just six years old.

Harrison Clark exclaimed, “Fate is such a mysterious thing. You two have been childhood sweethearts. If you end up together, it will be a wonderful story.”

Sophia Camp’s face turned slightly red, “Not really. I was a good student who studied hard. We only talked a lot when we were in first grade. After that, he spent every day at the arcade, and our interactions became less frequent. It was only half a year ago that my best friend forced me to accompany her to watch a competition, and I saw him win the championship and remembered who he was. At that time, I didn’t think too much about it and just told my friend that he was my elementary school classmate. But within two weeks, he had called me first, and my friend found out that he had been looking for me all these years.”

Harrison Clark grinned, “That’s fate. When fate comes, everything will naturally fall into place. I wish you both a happy life together, growing old together.”

“What growing old together? We’re still far from that, not even close. He’s crazy, talking about wanting to marry me and nonsense like having our children take my surname.”

“That’s great, isn’t it?”

Harrison Clark laughed heartily, suddenly finding it hard to contain his amusement.

The twists and turns of life could be truly amazing.

He suddenly recalled some historical materials.

In order to prevent accidents and ensure the safe birth of his child’s mother, he had always wanted to know Nora Camp’s family background, and he had spent a lot of effort investigating it.

Unfortunately, unlike the Greens and The Owens, these wealthy and prestigious families, Nora Camp always came from an ordinary family background in different timelines. When there were exceptions, her parents were just excellent military and scientific researchers.

In the early 23rd century, human information storage capacity had not yet reached overabundance, and ordinary people rarely recorded their family trees. Household registration records often got reset and cleared after someone passed away. As a result, Harrison Clark could only trace Nora Camp’s lineage back to the 23rd century, and he was powerless to delve any further back.

Now, because of Sophia’s situation, Harrison Clark suddenly had an intriguing thought.

Could Sophia Camp be an ancestor of Nora Camp?

Although there was no evidence, with a preconceived notion, Harrison Clark could see a few similarities between the two, which, coupled with Daniel Butler’s talent, increased the likelihood of this being true.

Harrison Clark couldn’t help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

It was fortunate that he had been a good person from the very beginning, never harming Sophia Camp and allowing her happy childhood sweetheart to be preserved until the correct time.

Otherwise, if he had accidentally made a mistake, he might have lost his child’s mother, and humanity might have lost its best military commander in history.

Therefore, good deeds always bring good rewards.

Sometimes letting go is a way of gaining.

Harrison Clark thought again of the youthful, handsome face of Daniel Butler on his resume.

This guy…

He must really love Sophia Camp, right?

“You two must be happy together. Remember to invite me to your wedding, and I’ll come to drink your wedding wine. I’ll also prepare a big gift for you.”

Sophia Camp’s face turned even redder, “No, no! You’re too kind. Who said anything about marrying him?”

“Hahaha! Let’s leave it at that for now. I have to go into a meeting. Oh, by the way, Daniel Butler needs to attend this meeting too, so it might take quite a while. Did you need to see him for something? Is it urgent?”

“Uh?” Sophia Camp’s face showed a hint of disappointment.

Harrison Clark chuckled inwardly.

This person secretly longed for the meeting, verbally expressing annoyance and complaining about nonsense, but her heart was clearly expecting meeting Daniel Butler.

She was obviously already smitten with him, longing for their reunion after all this time.

“Well then, as the boss, I’ll personally grant you special permission to attend my meeting. You can sit next to Daniel Butler, but you’ll have to explain to Director Zeng later that I’m not trying to poach talent.”

“Mhm. Thank you.”

Sophia Camp nodded.

Harrison Clark led the way inside.

Sophia Camp didn’t know that in just a few short sentences, her and Daniel Butler’s life together had already been clearly planned for them by Harrison Clark.

Even though Harrison Clark couldn’t be sure, as long there was even a one in ten thousand chance of connecting his child’s mother to this situation, he would be fully prepared.
