I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World - Chapter 646
Chapter 646: Chapter 407: Someone Has to Do the Unpleasant Things (5200 words)_2
“But from what I know about you, your main purpose of doing this is not to exploit others, but to promote the integration. Your influence, as well as mine, Carrie Thomas, Ward Owen, and Lucy Haywood’s influence in Europe and America, is gradually expanding. We are breaking the Western world’s prejudice against us, just like the well-known Chinese people in the past. You are promoting the integration step by step through economy, technology, arts, humanities, and so on.”
“You’ve already decided on the next new member of the Salvation Association, right? It should be a scholar from the West, right? In order to carry out the Planning, our Salvation Association will become increasingly huge, and more and more people from different industries, countries, and races will join. The Salvation Association is based on your thoughts, and the integration of the Eastern and Western worlds will still proceed quickly in this process, right?”
Harrison Clark was slightly taken aback before smiling, “You’re really amazing, I can’t hide anything from you.”
So far he has finally understood.
No wonder in the past timeline, Avril Green had repeatedly wasted her talents and ended up with mediocre results.
Her musical appreciation and talent were stunning; the creativity she displayed in her youth was also amazing, and the burst of creativity in her thoughts after liberation did not disappoint anyone.
As it turns out, music isn’t even her main talent.
She is too well-versed in the way of the world.
Her intelligence and emotional quotient are both very high, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
People with high intelligence and emotional quotient tend to overthink and be distracted by trivial thoughts when they’re not clear-headed.
She has always hovered between her love for music and her stubbornness to compromise for material gains.
Her character and abilities make her struggle to live a simple life.
When others can’t understand many things and just let them pass, she can’t do the same. With one glance, she can understand everything.
In her previous timeline, Avril Green was pure and solely focused on her creativity.
However, in this timeline, she has gained more information and has been observing and guessing Harrison Clark’s every move.
That’s when things went wrong.
She now understands more and has more conflicting thoughts in her heart, which are quite strong.
Avril Green continued, “I completely agree with your idea of promoting integration. I also think your plan is almost perfect, but there is one important missing link.”
“I know what you are talking about, but I don’t want to and can’t get involved in those things.”
“So, let me do it.”
Harrison Clark: “…”
“I know my real talent isn’t music creation, but something else. I just don’t like it.”
Harrison Clark: “Mmm, I understand.”
He’s not being polite but genuinely understanding.
He has studied the historical materials of these people around him thoroughly and can recite them by heart.
Avril Green’s dislike for politics is rooted in her family background.
Others envy her for being born into the Cooper family, but only she can understand the loneliness of living in an environment where everyone wears a mask.
What’s even more painful is her keen insight into human nature and relationships since childhood. The more she understands, the more she hates it.
Therefore, she would rather give up her talent and even refuse to graduate from university with a degree. At just over a dozen years old, she chose to live independently in Oxfordshire, her ancestral home, and become a restless musician.
Maybe she didn’t really like music at first but wanted to find a lifelong ideal that she could consistently strive for to forget her troubles.
In the process of her struggle, she may have gradually fallen in love with music and forgotten her initial motivation.
But now she has changed her mind.
“Harrison Clark, I know you hate those things too, so you deliberately avoid them. You’re a very pure person, and you also have to maintain your nobility and absolute confidence. You can’t learn to compromise. When you try to compromise, it shakes your will and makes you falter when facing the invaders. So, let me handle these things.”
“Didn’t you just say that you don’t like it?”
“Because I don’t like it, I should evade responsibility? That’s too weak and selfish. Among us, there must be someone involved in politics. Since I am one of the founders of the Salvation Association, I can’t keep running away from it because of my preferences. I’ll do it well; I will complete the last important piece of our cause. Completing the integration of the East and West earlier can save many lives, and civilization can take fewer detours. Your Five Hundred Year Plan will be executed perfectly. What do you think?”
Avril Green spoke in a tone of negotiation.
But in fact, Harrison Clark already knew the answer.
There was no room for negotiation.
She was determined.
“So what do you plan to do?”
“I’ll go back to the University of Cambridge, continue singing and releasing albums while studying. I will reduce other commercial activities and stop holding concerts. I will strive to complete the remaining undergraduate courses within a year, then go to the grassroots level as an exchange student. In the following years, I will study for my master’s degree and handle official affairs while still singing.”
Harrison Clark’s eyebrows twitched, “Won’t that be too tiring?”
Avril Green: “Chasing dreams is never easy, right? I also hope to take on the primary responsibility of expanding the Salvation Association and selecting its members. Trust me, I have a keen eye for people.”
Avril Green’s confidence in her ability to recognize people is not unfounded.
The first time Harrison Clark attempted to sell his songs, eating several closed-door rejections, he eventually found a breakthrough with Avril Green, who seemed the least likely to buy his songs.
