Chapter 6: United States Secret Service?

“Hello, Are you Mr. Charlot?”

Among the five people, the leader was a tall, serious-looking middle-aged man with a dignified look in his eyes.

“That’s right, I’m Charlot.”, Charlot stood up and answered in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

He already had a certain premonition that the government could not ignore the existence of magic.

Such a powerful force must be restricted. Otherwise, the danger would be too great!

“We are from the United States Secret Service. These are our documents!”

The tall man took out a small notebook from his pocket. On the cover, there was a circular picture of a thorn flower.

“The United States Secret Service?”

Charlot frowned. He had guessed correctly. It was indeed the government’s forces.

“May I know why you are looking for me?”, Charlot was not pretending to be stupid. Instead, he needed to negotiate conditions with the people of the government!

The most fundamental demand of the government was definitely to fully take control of magic and not pass it on to others.

However, this was not Charlot’s demand!

Moreover, the white paper had already predicted that in three years’ time, there would be a catastrophe for the entire human race!

Under such circumstances, if magic was controlled by the government, it would definitely not be of the greatest use of it!

Only by accumulating the strength of the entire human race would it be possible to survive such a catastrophe safely!

This was not a matter for any country or region, but a matter for the entire human race!

“Mr. Charlot, this place is not suitable to talk. Can we go somewhere quieter?”

The people from USSS were very polite. After all, before they fully understood the situation, even they did not dare to offend Charlot, who had mastered magic!

With great power, they would be treated with respect and equality in any place!

Charlot nodded and followed the five people directly to a recuperation room in the nursing home.

There was usually no one here. Only the seriously ill elder would recuperate quietly here. It was considered the quietest place in the nursing home.

Charlot found a seat and sat down. The leader of the group sat across from him. The other four people stood behind him in turn, their eyes fixed on him.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is McPherson. I’m a special agent of the United States Secret Service. Three hours ago, we received a tip-off that you… seem to be teaching others…”

“Magic?”

Even the United States Secret Service personnel who had been in contact with all kinds of secret incidents all year round still found it hard to believe that there was such a thing as magic.

Charlot nodded and said frankly, “That’s right. Magic really exists in the world.”

McPherson paused and pondered for a few seconds before he said sincerely, “Mr. Charlot, could you please demonstrate it for us?”

In this short period of time, Charlot had thought it through. The only thing that could endorse him and help him spread magic to the entire human race in the shortest time was the power of the government!

However, the power of the government was not an individual’s will. It was not difficult to make a country believe in the existence of magic.

All kinds of experts, professors, and scholars from all walks of life could be called over by the country to determine whether magic existed or not.

However, even if the existence of magic were confirmed, it was still uncertain whether the country would be willing to help him or not!

Charlot was very afraid that the government would restrict his freedom and demand him to reveal the secrets of magic through force.

For a country, this did not even involve good or evil. It was just the simplest manifestation of the will of the country!

However, Charlot still had to take this risk.

He had to first let the people of the country believe that magic really existed. Next, it was time to negotiate!

“Of course!”, Charlot smiled.

Then, he stretched out a finger. Under the watchful eyes of five pairs of eyes, he directly cast a flame spell!

Teng!

The small flame twined around Charlot’s fingertip. In order to further verify the authenticity of the spell, Charlot even picked up a piece of paper from the side and directly burn it!

After a while, seeing that the few of them did not speak, Charlot dispersed the flame and then cast an ice elf spell!

A small and cute ice elf appeared on the table. He looked at Charlot and then looked at the five people in front of him in confusion.

“How is it, Mr. McPherson? Can we confirm the existence of magic now?”

McPherson’s face was solemn as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly stood up, raised his hand and saluted.

“Yes, General!”

Then, he took a small earpiece from his ear and gently put it on the table.

“Mr. Charlot, it’s my commanding officer, the Director of the United States Secret Service, General Godwin, would like to speak to you!”

What a big fish!

Anyone who was awarded the rank of general would at least be a major general!

And even a major general would have to on duty for more than 40 years in this era where there were no large-scale wars!

Charlot took two deep breaths. He knew that the special agent in front of him could not make any decisions. The one who could make the real decision was the current General Godwin!

“Okay.”

Charlot said faintly and agreed to general Godwin’s request.

McPherson nodded. He turned around and made a few hand gestures to the other four people. The other four people quickly spread out around the recuperation room. They had their backs to Charlot and were on high alert.

McPherson gently pressed on the headset on the table.

Hum!

With a hum, the headset suddenly shot out beams of light, condensing into a semi-holographic image in mid-air!

On the image was a man wearing a military uniform, with dozens of medals on his left chest!

The man’s face looked tough with sharp jawline, looking like the kind of person who always held a high position.

Even with a glance, an ordinary person would feel a great dignity and imposing manner!

He was about 50 years old. His sideburns had some gray hair, but his hairstyle was meticulous. His face was also very clean. Clearly, he was an old general who paid great attention to personal hygiene!

“Hello, Mr. Charlot! I’m the Director of the United States Secret Service, Godwin!”

The director of the United States Secret Service introduced himself first. His voice was deep and powerful. It sounded very easy to think of the mighty general before he went to the battlefield!

“Hello, General Godwin. You can call me Charlot.”

Charlot was a little nervous, but it was not to the point where he could not speak. After all, he was also a traveler, so he still could handle it.

“I have seen all of Mr. Charlot’s magic demonstration just now.”

General Godwin spoke slowly and went straight to the point.

“Just an hour ago, we’ve gathered the most authoritative expert groups in the magic, physics, chemistry, and biology fields to analyze the videos circulating on the Internet.”

“When you were demonstrating just now, these experts and scholars were also observing. We finally came to a conclusion.”

“Magic does indeed exist!”

Charlot nodded. He had thought of this long ago. It was very easy for the country to confirm the authenticity of magic. What happened next was the main point.

Sure enough, without waiting for Charlot to say anything, General Godwin continued.

“Then, in the name of the country, I would like to ask Mr. Charlot to answer a few questions for me. Is that okay?”

Here it comes!

Charlot took a few breaths and nodded heavily.

“Please!”
