Chapter 141, Section 140: The Power of Light, I Will Find It Myself (Third Update)
"Mr. Masaki, nice to meet you."
Sawai reached out and shook hands with Masaki Keigo, and then introduced Daigo to him.
"This is Daigo from the GUTS team. Mr. Masaki, you should have known about him already."
Masaki Keigo paused for a moment before noticing that accompanying Director Sawai was Daigo Madoka, the person he envied and was jealous of day and night.
It's this lucky guy; he must be carrying that thing.
Deliberately ignoring Director Sawai's seemingly meaningful words, Masaki Keigo put on a fake smile and gripped Daigo's hand tightly.
"I already knew that. Daigo, a member of the GUTS team, is rumored to be a very outstanding person."
Daigo retorted forcefully, seemingly oblivious to what was happening. What Director Sawai had just said had given him a general idea of what was going on.
The seemingly refined guy in front of me is also coveting Ultraman's power.
Did Jiang Yu mention the name Masaki Keigo before?
Realizing he couldn't gain the upper hand, Masaki Keigo released his grip and gave Daigo, who seemed friendly, a deep look.
He wasn't a combatant to begin with, so it's understandable that he couldn't compete with Daigo, a frontline combatant in the GUTS team.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had indeed discovered one of Daigo's strengths.
He's strong, but just a brute.
Masaki Keigo sat down comfortably in the main seat, a formulaic smile on his face.
"Mr. Sawai, I wonder what you wanted to talk to me about this time?"
Has TPC had any major new projects lately? It's amazing that you had to come all the way here in person.
"If such a collaboration were possible, I would be more than happy to accept it."
Sawai sat up straight, her bright eyes fixed on Masaki Keigo, who was still somewhat uneasy.
If you have something you're ashamed of, there's no use in trying to hide it.
"I suppose so. I won't beat around the bush with you, Mr. Masaki."
TPC has made significant progress recently, achieving some initial results on a new propulsion system. We hope Mr. Masaki can set aside his current research and engage in in-depth cooperation with TPC.
"A new type of power system? I seem to have heard of it before. There was a Dr. Yao in academia who proposed a theory that used light as a power source."
Later, it was considered by the academic community to be an impossible task, and that's when it disappeared. Could TPC's new power system be related to this?
Is TPC going to build a giant mothership and fly into space?
After taking the cup and pouring some water, Masaki Keigo quickly made a guess about the power system that Director Sawai had mentioned, based on the information in his mind.
His expertise lies primarily in physics, aerospace, and the study of light.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to guess why.
"That's right, Mr. Masaki, are you willing to cooperate?"
Director Sawai looked at Masaki Keigo, who quickly gave his guess, with some amazement. He truly deserved to be the most outstanding young scientist in the world today.
With just a little information, they can guess so much.
"Yes, I've always been very interested in this field, and I have no objection to cooperation."
However, I have some important personal matters to attend to that cannot be stopped.
If the Director requires my full commitment, please allow me to decline.
After considering it for a moment, Masaki Keigo finally gave this answer.
As he himself said, he was indeed very interested in this topic, using light as a power source, which might take human civilization to a new level.
However, compared to his personal evolution into light, this topic still lacks some weight.
Masaki Keigo took a small sip of water, already mentally preparing his next words of refusal.
The director came in person, which means TPC definitely values them highly and won't give up easily.
Even Daigo, who had obtained Tiga's power, came to accompany them. It's a pity that they still haven't found the giant statue.
Let's leave that device that turns people into light with this lucky person for now.
He'll bring it to him personally when he needs it.
"Mr. Masaki, I still advise you to suspend your research on that personal project."
Sawai said calmly, which made Masaki Keigo's expression change.
Why this tone? He appears to be a very amiable leader on TV. Is this just a politician's facade?
Before Masaki Keigo could even open his mouth to refute, Director Sawai's next words had already made him lose his composure.
"I have already ordered a ban on all research into the power of Titans, including Mr. Masaki's side."
The crucial information that Dr. Dango promised you last time will never be available again.
"Even that box of giant statue powder will be taken back and sealed away by TPC personnel."
Director Sawai's calm words were like a boulder suddenly dropped into a calm lake, stirring up a storm in Masaki Keigo's heart.
"You knew all about my research, didn't you? Was this all part of your plan?!"
Masaki Keigo got up in alarm, wanting to rush to Director Sawai, but was stopped by Daigo halfway.
"Mr. Masaki, please calm down."
"This is not my fault, Mr. Masaki. TPC never actively monitors any human on Earth."
Even if he breaks the law, he will be tried by the local government.
Unless, of course, his activities have already reached a point where they could affect the safety of all humankind.
"By actively engaging in close communication with senior researchers at TPC, Mr. Masaki has become too conspicuous."
Director Sawai stood up and calmly explained, taking out a slip of paper that made Masaki Keigo's pupils shrink slightly.
That note was clearly the one he had given to Dr. Dango last time.
Damn it, did Dr. Dango report it on his own initiative, or has that dimwit already been exposed?
"Damn it, so you're saying that my research was tacitly approved by you, and that the higher-ups at TPC are also craving Ultraman's power."
To claim that this has any impact on human safety is utterly hypocritical!
Unable to break free from Daigo's grasp, Masaki Keigo simply stepped back, mocking the old man's hypocrisy.
Ultimately, it's just a political mask.
Looking at Daigo, Masaki Keigo felt even more sorrowful.
Perhaps TPC had already discovered Daigo's identity as Ultraman Tiga, but they didn't expose him just to use him.
Unable to find a way to get others to use Tiga's power, they opted for a stopgap measure in the face of the monster disaster.
Ha! How ridiculous.
Daigo Madoka possesses godlike power, yet he is controlled by this group of scheming humans.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't.
"No matter what you say, Mr. Masaki, I can only tell you that every decision we make is the most beneficial choice for humanity based on the current situation."
We have no regrets, and we don't care what others think.
However, if Mr. Masaki were to pursue the light for his own selfish desires, it would become a misguided force.
Rather than embarking on such a wrong path, it's better to use your talents where they are most suitable.
"As for light, it might come to you someday."
Sawai's words only earned him Masaki Keigo's disdainful mockery.
"Wait for the light to come to you, hoping to become the lucky one?"
I don't want to suffer the same fate as this guy.
Such great power cannot come without seeking it out oneself.
