"Yes, I was just getting some air on the rooftop and saw Jasper Shaw."

’My skin really has gotten thicker,’ Chloe Sinclair thought. ’Just a moment ago, I was as shy as some naive little girl, but now I can chat and laugh so easily with Mr. Quincy.’

However, in contrast to Chloe Sinclair’s composure, Mr. Quincy’s face lit up with delight.

"Good, it’s good that you’ve met. Just focus on the challenge ahead. All of us old-timers have your back, so just go for it with confidence."

Although Mr. Quincy’s eyes were full of gentleness, his presence grew more powerful the more he spoke.

Chloe Sinclair nodded, indicating she understood.

Fifteen minutes later, the students and invited titans of the field were all in their seats.

The academic press was also set up in the back.

On the spacious stage, Chloe Sinclair and Nathan Trenton sat on either side of Joel Quincy.

The white glare of camera flashes focused on the three of them.

Yet, none of them showed any stage fright.

As the primary investor, Jasper Shaw had been seated in the spot closest to Chloe Sinclair.

He was dressed formally, exuding a cold and stern aura.

When their gazes met, they gave each other a slight nod.

"Today, the main topic of this press conference is the flux-fusion reactor device and the reactions produced upon activating nuclear fusion."

Joel Quincy had chosen to livestream this press conference.

As early as two hours prior, many major influencers on Weibo and top global forums had already shared the news.

The broadcast started at 8:00 PM sharp, right when netizens were most active.

Not too many people were paying attention to the press conference itself, but with shares from industry insiders and a promotional push from Gabriel Sinclair’s main Weibo account, millions of people flooded into the livestream in the second before it even began.

The technician in the back nearly had a heart attack.

[I’m here for our girl! Where is she?]

[The girl sitting next to Professor Quincy must be her!]

[It really is Chloe Sinclair! Damn, she has such a powerful vibe today. What’s that lipstick shade? It’s gorgeous!]

[Ladies, you’re going off-topic! Did you hear what Professor Quincy just said? They’ve successfully developed controllable nuclear fusion!]

[For real?]

[Is the commenter above clueless? Why would they hold a press conference if they hadn’t succeeded?]

[Yeah, but... I still want to ask, weren’t there rumors online that another country already developed a new energy source from controllable nuclear fusion? So what’s Zenthia’s game, suddenly holding a press conference?]

Some industry insiders were also watching with caution and began asking questions in the comments.

Everyone was speculating wildly about this question, but no one reached a conclusion.

Meanwhile, the staff in the back managing the comments immediately received instructions and began to moderate the comment section.

[Since they’re holding a press conference, let’s just watch the stream quietly. There’ll be a live Q&A later, so a reporter is bound to ask these questions.]

Seeing this comment, more than half of the netizens quieted down, with the rest remaining at a manageable level.

All in all, less than three minutes into the broadcast, its popularity had far surpassed the traffic of many celebrity livestreams.

Back on stage, once Joel Quincy finished his standard presentation on the theory, he turned the floor over to Chloe Sinclair.

The recent breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion and the successful verification of Joel Quincy’s theories were, in large part, thanks to Chloe Sinclair’s involvement.

Every time the research team felt they had hit a wall, Chloe Sinclair would manage to have a breakthrough insight with a single remark, cutting straight to the core of the problem.

Furthermore, Chloe Sinclair was the lead figure behind the flux-fusion reactor device.
