Dr. Agasa's efficiency was at least SS+; in just over an hour, he completed the measurements, design, material selection, production, and debugging.
Looking at the special hidden blade on Harry's wrist, Yang Tao respectfully expressed his sincere gratitude to Dr. Agasa.
"Dr. Agasa, You've really gone to a lot of trouble. Oh, and by the way."
He took out a gold ingot from his backpack and placed it on Dr. Agasa's desk.
"I don't know much about technology, but I know that any scientific research must have sufficient financial support. Dr. Agasa, this is my personal investment in your technology."
Dr. Agasa looked at the long, metallic object on the table, reflecting a brilliant golden light under the lamp, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He extended his large, plump hand, grasped Yang Tao's hand, and said:
"Mr. Yang Tao, You are too humble. You clearly understand technology. With your support, the progress of my powered armor will surely increase several times over!"
Yang Tao also laughed when he saw Dr. Agasa's reaction. The doctor was not the kind of person who was completely engrossed in research and ignorant of social graces.
"Dr. Agasa, I won't bother You any longer. I'll take Harry back now."
"Alright, if anything comes up, You can always come find me."
Yang Tao nodded slightly, opened the wooden door, and returned to the Overworld. Closing the wooden door, Yang Tao looked at Harry's emerald green eyes, squatted down, placed his hands on Harry's shoulders, and said earnestly: "Remember, don't expose this thing in front of anyone. This might be your last resort to save your life..."
"The more people who know, the more danger there is, understand?"
Harry's hidden blade could not only retract the wand but also eject a bayonet the length of a forearm. At Yang Tao's request, the bayonet was modified into a triangular bayonet and could also fire three tranquilizer darts.
Hmm... same model as Conan's watch, and the anesthetic is also the same as Kogoro's.
"Mr. Yang Tao, I understand."
Harry nodded heavily and then hid the hidden blade inside his sleeve.
Yang Tao reached out and patted Harry's head, saying with a smile: "Let's go back and see if your Hogwarts acceptance letter has arrived, and also buy You some clothes You can wear normally."
Harry's clothes were basically Dudley's old hand-me-downs. These past few days, Yang Tao had been busy training Harry or collecting energy, and hadn't had time to visit Harry's world.
"No need, it's already good enough that I have clothes to wear."
"You can just deduct it from your future salary."
Hearing this, Harry no longer refused Yang Tao's suggestion.
Leading Harry, he walked towards the wooden door, opened it, and stepped inside. As soon as he entered the room at 6 Privet Drive, a beam of light shot towards him.
Yang Tao reacted extremely quickly. A Battlesign immediately appeared in his hand, and at the same time, with his other hand, he pushed Harry, who hadn't yet reacted, back into the Overworld, and closed the wooden door.
Harry: '???'
He switched to the shotgun, aimed in the direction of the light beam, and pulled the trigger.
Bang... bang...
Two consecutive sounds rang out. One was the sound of the Battlesign blocking a spell, and the other was the roar of the Supernova.
Through Yang Tao's eyes, the attacker was a figure clad in black robes, but he showed no intention of stopping, pulling the trigger in his hand again.
Bang... bang... bang...
"Stop, young man... Professor Snape means no harm. He is just too concerned about Harry's safety."
An old and calm voice rang out. Yang Tao glanced with his peripheral vision at the person speaking beside him.
The other person had long, silver-white hair, reaching his waist, long enough to be tucked into his belt. He also had a long, snow-white beard.
"The greatest Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, in history, ha ha. Professor Snape's way of showing concern is truly unique. You tell me there's no ill will when he casually casts spells at others?"
The bullets fired from the shotgun were like hitting an invisible wall, which frustrated Yang Tao. No matter how high the damage, if it couldn't hit anyone, it was a problem.
'When I go back, I'll go fishing first and see if I can enchant the shotgun with penetration!'
Hearing Yang Tao's sarcastic remarks, Dumbledore showed no displeasure or anger. He looked at Yang Tao with his constantly twinkling blue eyes and said:
"Stranger, You taking Harry away like this..."
"Wait..."
Yang Tao, while suppressing Snape to force him to continuously cast defensive spells against his attacks, looked at Dumbledore and said: "What is your relationship with Harry? What business is it of yours if I take Harry away?"
"You need to understand that I am Harry's guardian now."
"Harry is the savior of the wizarding world..."
"Ha ha, a savior living in a cupboard? Headmaster Dumbledore, You appearing here today clearly shows that You care deeply about Harry..."
"But can you tell me why Harry Potter, as the savior of the wizarding world, hasn't received even a shred of the treatment a savior should have?"
Yang Tao's face was filled with a mocking smile, his gaze fixed on Dumbledore's wrinkled, aged face:
"Even if Harry's parents sacrificed themselves fighting the Dark Lord without compensation or bonuses, why didn't You even take some money from his parents' vault to improve his life?"
Hearing Yang Tao's words, Dumbledore's aged face showed an expression of self-reproach, and he sighed, saying: "We couldn't disrupt Harry's normal life. This would affect the protective magic Lily cast on Harry, and it was to protect Harry's safety, as not all Death Eaters were sent to Azkaban."
"If those Death Eaters hiding in the shadows found out about Harry before he started school, they certainly wouldn't let him go."
"However, young man, You are right. This was also my oversight. From the beginning, Professor McGonagall told me that the Dursleys were the worst Muggle family she had ever seen, but I was only focused on Harry growing up safely, and thus overlooked this point."
"When Harry was just born, the Dark Lord disappeared. At that time, I needed to cooperate with the Aurors to capture the remaining Death Eaters everywhere, and I simply had no time to take care of him. And entrusting him to others, I had no confidence in protecting Harry from Death Eater attacks."
"So, ten years passed in such a muddled way."
"This is my dereliction of duty, and I apologize for it. I will do my best to make amends for my mistakes in the future, both to Harry and to the Dursleys."
Hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Yang Tao earnestly looked at the 109-year-old man in front of him.
He stopped repeatedly pulling the trigger, glanced at the somewhat disheveled Snape, and then looked at Dumbledore, saying: "I hope You will do as You say."
"Although I have no good feelings for the Dursleys, whether they were forced by the threats of the wizarding world or acted out of some remaining love for Lily, it is an undeniable fact that they raised Harry."
Dumbledore nodded gently and said: "You are right. After all, Harry grew up drinking his aunt's milk when he was little."
Yang Tao, hearing this: "!!!"
After a moment's thought, he felt that Dumbledore wouldn't deceive him about this matter. Harry was only a little over a month younger than Dudley, so it was very possible that Harry grew up drinking Petunia's milk.
However, another question popped into his mind.
'How did Dumbledore know about this? Could it be that he also has the Byakugan-like telescope jutsu of the Hokage from Konoha?'
