Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"This is the coffee I made especially for you. My wife also said that tonight is just a family gathering in the Little White House. I hope you can come because you once saved me. We just want to repay you this time, but there is no other way. As the president of a country, I can't do anything out of line. I can only treat you to a meal in the Little White House. I think if you tell others about this, you will have enough to brag about it for a while."

How to do it?

Faced with Put's generous invitation, refusing would be a lack of respect and would give the other party an excuse to confront again.

"I agreed."

Xu Jiajia quickly broke the deadlock.

"I believe that Mr. President will not risk the wrath of the world by doing such an unjust thing again."

"Hey!"

Put shook his head helplessly.

"I can't say much about the past, but I know that people don't trust me very much. But I want to tell you that I will never do anything that harms others. Please trust me completely on this point."

Jiang Chuan finally felt relieved. Since the president was willing to make such a promise, they could trust him in a sense.

So the family members temporarily left the office.

"Okay, Boss Xu, there are only two of us in the office now. Actually, we invited you to Atlantis because we really hope you can invest. As you know, Atlantis is in a state of disrepair right now."

"Yes! But I'm not really worried about the investment. I'm just worried that my assets will be confiscated by you."

"Confiscated?"

Put was speechless after hearing this.

"Why do you say that? We are sincere."

"Look at your past. We invested in your country before, but you just shut down my company, didn't you?"

Putt shook his head.

"That's because you don't follow the rules. You took all my researchers away for no reason. Of course I would be angry, right?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Chuan smiled, and the atmosphere began to become a little tense.

"The question is, didn't you also detain many researchers from our country before? You can't deny that, right?"

Put was silent.

"There are some things I don't want to say too clearly, after all, everyone has to save face. But think carefully, how many bad things you have done before, causing so many families to be separated. Especially many scientists from our Kyushu country are still staying with you."

Jiang Chuan knew that if he wanted to discuss cooperation, he had to first resolve the historical issues.

"First of all, science knows no borders. I hope you understand this. We can invest directly in Atlantis and do what we think is right. But before that, I hope you can face this problem squarely. Otherwise, we will still choose to quickly evacuate our compatriots."

Jiang Chuan smiled after he finished speaking.

"I know it may not be appropriate to say these words now. After all, this is your cordial invitation to me. But according to an old saying in our Kyushu country, we should treat the villain first and the gentleman later. I think you will have no objection to this, right?"

Put was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Chuan to say such a thing.

"Okay, your request is reasonable, I agree."
Jiang Chuan was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, this was the president of a great country. How could he agree to his request so readily? Was there something fishy going on here, or was it intentional? Many things were hard to figure out now.

There was also a hint of weirdness in the family dinner in the evening. He didn't know whether it was a real invitation or just a formality.

Lying in the room of the small white building, he looked at the ceiling and chatted with Xu Jiajia, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"I feel something is wrong." Jiang Chuan said.

"Don't be impatient, let's take it one step at a time. Put was really strange today, and I don't understand what his series of actions mean." Xu Jiajia responded.

"If it doesn't work out, we'll go back to the hotel tomorrow and find someone to negotiate with. But it definitely won't be just the two of us."

However, Putt did not return to his residence to rest that night, but continued to sit in the office with Lawrence next to him.

"We have to find a way to get Mr. Xu to stay in our country for a while longer," said Put.

"Stay longer?" Lawrence was a little confused.

"What do you mean? He still has to go back to Kyushu to carry out his mission. Are you planning to detain him?"

"Yesterday's conversation made me realize that this person is not a simple person. Therefore, I have to find a way to completely eliminate this dangerous factor from Atlantis."

"Eliminate?" Lawrence asked in surprise.

"Mr. President, you are not planning to assassinate him, are you? He is currently living in your little white building, and tomorrow he will move into our most upscale hotel, which is one of the best-secured places in the world."

Put smiled and said, "First of all, he is my savior, and I have repaid him. But now, he is our opponent. Atlantis must lead the world under any circumstances. Even if the big country leads the world this time, we must reverse this situation."

Lawrence was shocked. He didn't expect Put to be the same as before, changing the soup but not the medicine, and trying to do the same thing as Atlantis taking the lead.

"Mr. President, the other side has a population of more than one billion, and we have less than 100 million. How can we compete with them?"

"I know we can't eat a fat man at one bite, so this time we must keep Jiang Chuan here first, at least let him live in our territory."

"Haha!" Lawrence smiled helplessly.

"You are just daydreaming. If he could have stayed here directly, why would he have waited until now?"

Obviously, Lawrence couldn't let Putt do whatever he wanted, otherwise he would really become an unforgivable bastard in his life.

"Anyway, you are my Minister of Defense, so you have to take care of everything. Again, no matter what the situation, you have to stand by my side, understand?"

Lawrence was helpless. The situation was becoming more and more critical. His first priority was to tell Jiang Chuan as soon as possible.

The next day, when Jiang Chuan just got up, he saw Lawrence was already waiting for him.

"Good morning!" Jiang Chuan said with some surprise.

Because Lawrence's eyes today revealed a feeling he had never had before. In fact, when he was lying in bed last night, Jiang Chuan had an indescribable feeling, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

"Mr. Jiangchuan, you should stay in the hotel today. Our president has a lot of things to do and can't accompany you every day." Lawrence began to hint.

"Yeah!" Jiang Chuan didn't respond to Lawrence directly. After all, in the Little White House, he couldn't let Put find out that they were so close.

But Putt didn't think too much about it. After breakfast, he sent Jiangchuan away as usual.

But in the car, Lawrence still spoke his true feelings.

"I already know about your visit to Atlantis this time. If there is nothing else, you should hurry back. Leave all the matters to President Zhao, there shouldn't be any problem." "What's going on?" Xu Jiajia felt something was wrong.

Lawrence told him everything Putt had told him last night, but this time the couple did not feel worried.

"This is normal. After all, he is the president of a country, so he naturally hopes that I can serve this country. What's more, the economic benefits I have brought have already made Kyushu taste the sweetness, so Atlantis must also hope that such a person will appear." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"Actually, I knew what happened when Charles came to greet me. I just didn't say it directly."

"You know everything?"

"Yes!" Jiang Chuan said calmly.

"I am a boss after all. If I don't even have this awareness, how can I be qualified to be one of the most powerful arms dealers in the world?"

"However, I have a question. I heard that you plan to start exploring my hometown directly. Is this matter already on the agenda? Please don't get me wrong. I am not speaking on behalf of Atlantis."
What Lawrence was actually most worried about was research on the center of the Earth. He always felt that humans were simply unable to reach that extreme environment directly.

"That's right!"

Jiang Chuan answered simply.

"But I don't plan to rush in all at once. I plan to do it step by step, like doing a space experiment, until we figure out some theories. After all, the pressure problem you mentioned does make me a little confused."

In fact, before making this decision, he had already contacted Chen Fei, and only after getting a definite answer did he start thinking about the next task.

"I believe that humans will always find a way to overcome the influence of gravity, otherwise we will never be able to reach the center of the earth. I'm just curious, why can you lizard people do it? Is it because your physiological structure is different from ours?"

"Correct!"

Lawrence nodded.

"We also have our own way of survival in the universe. Let's put it this way, you need various space suits to survive in the universe, and we can survive for a long time even in an oxygen-free environment, but we can't live without food. I heard that when our ancestors first came to Earth, they stayed here because the conditions here were suitable for our survival."

Lawrence shook his head.

"In fact, if the president didn't want to destroy the bridge after crossing the river, I would really like to take you to see our local relics. That is the real industry left by our ancestors, and no one has been able to fully interpret it until now."

Xu Jiajia suddenly had an idea.

"Mr. President won't take any detention action against us right away, right? As long as we obey him during this period and don't do anything out of line, there should be no problem, right? Mr. Zhao, you don't have to rush to get the company up and running now. Let's talk about it after we get back."

"The key is to negotiate. If they take excessive actions at that time, it will be troublesome."

Lawrence was still worried.

"It's okay. Mr. Zhao is a very measured person. He has been in Atlantis for such a long time and has always been able to handle things calmly, which shows that he is very capable."

Jiangchuan was very calm, because he really wanted to see the remains of the lizard man, maybe it could bring them some new inspiration.

"Then it's settled."

After returning to the hotel, they immediately began to check the entire room and only relaxed after confirming that there were no cameras or eavesdropping devices.

Soon, Mr. Zhao came to them.

"Mr. Zhao, I know the current situation is very dangerous for everyone, but I still choose to let you come directly to my room. I just want to tell you that their representative for the upcoming round of negotiations is Mr. Charles. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Charles? Is he the old fox in business?"

"Yes! I heard that he has a nickname called 'Fox of the North', I don't know if it's true. But no matter what, we should remain unchanged in the face of change, stick to our principles, and not be led by them."

"it is good!"

Mr. Zhao was still a little worried.

"Also, let me tell you again, you don't have to worry about what the other party will do to you, just go ahead and talk. You are the plenipotentiary representative, because I have another mission to accomplish in Atlantis this time."

Mr. Zhao knew very well that this was a great trust in him, but he didn't know whether he could do the job.

"That's it!"

After arranging everything, Jiang Chuan immediately took Xu Jiajia and the child and set off for the ruins.

Along the way, Lawrence introduced them to a lot of relevant knowledge.

"In fact, we Lizardmen lead a very simple life. We left ruins there because when we lived on the ground, we thought the Earth was very beautiful."

As he spoke, Lawrence took out something.

"Look at this. This is the record of oxygen content at that time. We Lizardmen have a higher demand for oxygen than you do. The reason why we can live on the surface now is not only because of you, but also because we are very adaptable. But for us, living on the surface without high oxygen concentration will actually cause some damage to our bodies."

"what?"

Jiangchuan was shocked.

"The reason why Salma became a monster is because he has been living underground, and he can draw power from the core of the earth!"

"Earth's core?" Jiang Chuan's face was full of surprise after hearing this.

"Do you remember the battle from outer space a while ago? Although we won, the impact of that battle is still spreading around the world."

"Indeed, but we are different from them. When you were fighting them, we also gave you some guidance. I know that the Great Northwest Region of your country is still conducting research, but you can't participate in it now, right?"

Jiang Chuan nodded helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The country is now advocating for separate research. After all, merging them together can sometimes cause confusion."

Lawrence sneered when he heard this.

"What is chaos? It's just fear of trouble."

He thought of Putin, the president who always liked to mix things up. Although he was a businessman, he always managed to mess up some seemingly good things.

In contrast, the organizers of Kyushu seemed to have amazing coordination capabilities.

"We just like to work together. The reason why Atlantis has become like this now is mainly because your core no longer exists and you have no real soul. But we have a unique culture."

Jiangchuan hit the nail on the head.

"In fact, you humans also had a very brilliant civilization before. I think the Mulia civilization is a microcosm of you."

Lawrence felt a little depressed after hearing this. (End of this chapter)
