Chapter 181: Chapter 146: Shut Up and Burst into Fame l

Translator: 549690339

Half a day later, under the glare of countless flashlights, Harrison Clark and Rainer walked out of the Los Angeles Central Hospital side by side.

While the doctors conducted a full examination on both of them, they had already cooperated with the local police station in recording their statements.

As there was a blackbox system on Flight KC3971, the accident investigation was not difficult.

The conclusion was quickly reached.

Regrettably, due to Seckley’s arrogance and some coincidental factors, this originally not-so-dangerous flight ultimately turned into a tragedy.

Apart from Rainer, who was miraculously saved by Harrison Clark in the nick of time, there were three other people on the plane who were seriously injured and still undergoing rescue efforts.

Billionaire Charles Butler and two Chinese personnel were among the survivors.

Unfortunately, the others had died on the spot.

Phil and two others served as the most important eyewitnesses.

Phil’s helicopter was equipped with a full-time camera system, and they provided the high-quality footage to the police.

Apart from that, on the other side of the cliff at the scene, there was a residential area where many people took out their phones and managed to capture either blurry or relatively clear images.

Some of these people directly uploaded the footage to the internet with various captions.

Some clips showing only the blurry plane crash were uploaded.

Others arrived at the scene after the crash and filmed the damaged helicopter.

There were even people who filmed while helping the rescue efforts.

One person, whose distance from the scene was less than 200 meters, managed to capture the entire process of Harrison Clark using a hang glider to perform the Cobra maneuver, saving a person and then watching the helicopter crash.

This person’s video gained millions of views within half a day, bringing nearly 100,000 followers to their account, worth nearly a million US dollars.

So, Harrison Clark became famous.

About an hour after the accident, when Harrison Clark and Rainer returned to the scene, that person even managed to film their faces.

Harrison Clark really became famous.

The flashlights at the bottom of the stairs almost blinded his eyes.

The reporters’ questions were so fast that his not-so-fluent English couldn’t keep up.

Before he could understand the meaning of one question, the next one was already being thrown at him.

It wasn’t until the Los Angeles police officers who followed them out of the hospital helped maintain order out of fear of a stampede that a temporary press conference was hastily held.

Harrison Clark answered many questions, mainly explaining why he happened to be there at that time and in that position to save a Chinese person.

Of course, he wouldn’t honestly admit the truth, so he just chalked it all up to coincidence.

“Yes, I lied to Phil. I told him I just wanted to take a photo in the sky. But from the beginning, I planned on flying a hang glider. I knew Phil wouldn’t agree, so I chose to lie.”

“What? You asking why I wanted to fly a hang glider? You’re weird. Does anyone need a reason to do something? Do you need a reason to get out of bed in the morning? Do you need a reason to eat? I can do whatever I want, I didn’t hurt anyone, so I don’t need a reason.”

“You’re asking why I wanted to save people? Does saving people need a reason too?”

“You’re asking how I did it? I thought I could, so I tried, and I succeeded. That’s it.”

“Yes, as everyone knows, I don’t have a hang gliding license, so I accept the punishment. Before I came out, I paid a $50,000 fine and $100,000 bail. Mr. Butler’s lawyer helped me handle these matters. I accept the punishment without complaint.”

“Yes, it was the first time I used a hang glider in my life. Luckily the result wasn’t too bad, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t save more people. I mourn for the victims of this accident, RIP.”

“Why are you always asking how I did it? I don’t know either!”

There were too many questions from the reporters, and in the end, Harrison Clark couldn’t answer them all and fled the scene.

In order to leave the police station, Harrison Clark spent a total of $150,000. He transferred $900,000 to Phil’s sister. Helicopter rental cost him $10,000.

Harrison Clark’s operation cost was $106,000, but he ultimately made a profit.

Although he couldn’t save everyone, he at least saved four people’s lives, and the police station rewarded him with $50,000.

Charles Butler’s wife, in gratitude, gave him $2 million, saying that there would be more rewards after her husband woke up.

Harrison Clark happily accepted it all.

On the ride back, Harrison Clark sat in the back seat while Rainer took the front.

Harrison Clark was about to tell the driver to go to the hotel when he suddenly felt a shadow swooping in front of him, and the scent of perfume filled his nose.

Carrie Thomas threw herself into his arms, scolding him angrily.

Rainer, who had wanted to say something to Harrison Clark, quickly turned his head away, not wanting to get involved.

No wonder Carrie Thomas was so emotional.

She had watched the videos published online over and over again.

Her heart had pounded with fear every time.

She felt very sad now, too.

She never expected Harrison Clark to go to such lengths for a man he had only met once, completely disregarding his own safety.

After a long time had passed, Carrie Thomas wiped away her tears and silently retreated, saying, “Never mind, as long as you’re alright.”

Rainer seized the opportunity and turned his head towards Harrison Clark, saying, “Harrison, I want to…”

He wanted to say that he wanted to contact China and report the situation of the Chinese personnel there.

But Carrie Thomas abruptly interrupted him.

“Shut up! There’s no room for you to talk here!”

Rainer shuddered slightly, quickly turning his head back around.

With his intellect as a top scientist, he still couldn’t understand what was going on.

It seemed that high-level artists would always have a little hysteria, better not to provoke.

On their way back to the hotel, the news continued to ferment.

Since Harrison Clark had shown his face in the news and the impromptu press conference, his high-definition facial photo also appeared online, with more and more people digging up his real identity.

The phenomenal guitarist in the Billboard hit “Self-Combustion”…

An indisputable famous music producer in the musical circles of the East…

The extreme sports expert who flew a hang glider for the first time and managed to perform a Cobra maneuver with only a 0.001% chance of success, then swooped into the helicopter to save someone doomed to die…

Perhaps it’s because of the excessive amount of information in modern society.

Harrison Clark became famous on this side, thoroughly famous.

In the entire Europe and America, he became one of the most famous Chinese figures in just one day.

This had been beyond Harrison Clark’s expectations.

When they returned to the hotel, he looked somewhat disheartened in front of Layna’s resentful gaze.

“Mr. Clark, you said you don’t like helicopters. Yet you…”

Harrison Clark laughed it off: “Ms. Layna, the weather is really nice today.”

He continued to flee, using the excuse that he needed to rest, and hid in his room.

Rainer followed him in.

Carrie Thomas also followed in!
