Chapter 644 Fear

In other words, if this issue isn't addressed now, the pressure they exert will only increase, potentially leading to many unforeseen consequences. Ultimately, even if they have any chance, the outcome is predictable.

"So I don't know what exactly happened to your country's president. That Bais guy from the beginning was unsettling. Then you got rid of him, and then Putt came along, who soon became incredibly unreliable. Now we have Jones, who seemed very capable, but he ended up like this too," Simis remarked.

Clearly, these current events are causing everyone a lot of distress. But when Simis heard Putt being called "unreliable," he really wanted to laugh.

"But to be honest, many things are beyond our control. You know we've put in a lot of effort, and only we know the final result. As for what everyone is really thinking, that's hard to say," the superior said.

And so, the situation gradually began to change. Initially, after losing contact with his superiors, a group of superiors came directly to Jiang Chuan's home that evening.

"Tonight is like a family dinner. I never expected that you, my superior, would come to my humble abode. Luckily, chopsticks were prepared for you in advance, haha."

"I'm just here to freeload a meal. I know why the Secretary of Defense is here. Given President Jones's situation, we need to discuss a solution at home. And I've heard that the rumors about Ajat's intention to run for president are already quite widespread in Atlantis, right?"

These two matters were truly a headache. Simis recounted the entire situation in detail, from beginning to end.

Take Jones, for example. Ever since rumors of his membership in that organization surfaced, he's completely changed. At a recent military conference, he explicitly stated that Atlantis would increase its military budget annually starting this year and would also begin working on its first five-year plan.

This five-year plan focuses on achieving breakthroughs in the military field, namely, developing various advanced new weapons. However, this is likely to conflict with the scientific team brought by Jiang Chuan, and no one is sure who can resolve this issue.

"To be honest, there are still many things we don't know ourselves. But we all understand that to achieve these goals, it's far from enough for just a few of us to make decisions. So, all I can do now is ensure your safety. I never expected that at this critical moment, Yajet would jump out and try to bring Jones down, while grandly saying that we'd talk about it after something happened to Jones."

Clearly, these circumstances are causing Simis great concern.

"A nation's army is meaningless if it ends up becoming a tool for these people."

Simis was completely at a loss, and even considered becoming president himself if all else failed. But if he did that, people would definitely say he was coveting the presidency.

If it really comes to that, he won't be able to clear his name even if he jumps into the Mississippi River.

"Oh dear, how come your country is in such chaos! I thought the whole world was chaotic enough, but I didn't expect the situation in your country to be even worse."

As everyone knows, given the current situation, if someone could make better arrangements, the outcome would be self-evident.

In this situation, everyone knows it will undoubtedly be a difficult process. So how should they deal with all of this? Actually, now they can only rely on themselves to find a solution.

"Alright then, let's stick to this method for now, although I don't know how long everyone can hold out."

At this point, Yajet was also conflicted, but after thinking about it carefully, he could probably guess what everyone was planning.

"it is good!"

If everyone masters these key skills, the outcome is predictable. The crucial point is that they don't yet know how long this method can be sustained.

"Let's put aside the Ajette issue for now. Since we're going to tackle things one by one, we first need to understand that organization, since it concerns global security."

At this moment, Xu Jiajia felt particularly frustrated. She never expected that these men would be so slow and indecisive at such a crucial moment.

"As for what kind of person Yajet is, there's no need to say more. Even if he's incompetent, if he can become a puppet president, we can find a way to help him govern the country. But to put it bluntly, as long as he doesn't harm the world, let him be."

Xu Jiajia looked helpless after hearing this.

"And he also said that things will be different then. If Yaget doesn't manage the country well, I think Parliament will definitely replace him."

Therefore, there's no need for anyone to worry about these meaningless questions. If these arrangements can be made, the outcome will be obvious, and this might be everyone's only chance right now. If we can prove ourselves right, that would be even better.

"it is good!"

After hearing this, everyone smiled at each other. Although they didn't know how long this method could last, at least they now had a principle, and they didn't need to worry too much about who would ultimately be able to finish everything.

"Alright!"...

Since that's the case, there's no need to bring up any other issues. Everyone knows how much hope Yagett brings.

"Let's hurry up and sort out all the issues again. Mr. Simis, now that you're here, we're all family. Let me tell you about our plans for the future."

Having gone through so much, Jiang Chuan has basically figured out who the mastermind behind it all is.

“There’s someone you should watch out for. His name is Howard. You’d better read his biography. He’s very talented, but he has a huge business empire behind him.”

Upon hearing the name Howard, Simis felt a pang of anxiety. Howard was one of the military's main suppliers.

“From a businessman’s perspective, Howard has been supplying your army with weapons and equipment during this period. But I’ve noticed that he seems to be smuggling in his own agenda while providing the equipment.”

Upon hearing this, Simis became even more worried.

"Do you have evidence?"

"If I had evidence, would I be telling you all this? Of course not. Let me give you a clue first, and you can check it out. If there's no evidence, that would be for the best. But the information Chen Tianfei gives me is usually accurate."

Only then did Simis realize that everything was brewing in the shadows.

"I'm not saying this to sow discord between you. I also know that Howard is a very powerful arms dealer. Sometimes even I am impressed by the weapons and equipment he provides, which is why Chen Tianfei's scientific laboratory came about."

The problem is that Howard is a person who gives off a particularly uncomfortable feeling.

"So even now, I still don't know what he's up to. If you can figure it out, it would be best to give me an answer. What I need right now is to control people, because this battle is ultimately about people, right?"

After Simis said all that, you could probably guess what he was thinking.

"So, these are the problems we urgently need to solve right now, right?"

"Whether it's Jones or Tony, they're both backed by Howard. But what exactly does Howard do? Also, he never joins any organization, yet he always provides funding to those strange groups. That's something to think about. I even suspect he might not be from Earth. So who is he? I think it's necessary to investigate."

This is another question raised by Xu Jiajia.

"So, you should know what to do now that things are like this, so I won't go into details."

Hearing these words, Simis felt that coming to the Great Shang Kingdom was definitely the right decision. "Alright then."

Howard was a highly respected figure in the area, and Simis simply couldn't understand why anyone would say such a thing. Especially on the plane back home, Simis kept pondering it. Had everyone gone mad? Were there any good people left in this country?
And why does everything happen in this country? Whether it's science and technology or the humanities, it all casts a mysterious shadow over the country.

"Actually, it's not that simple. The key is whether everyone can persevere to the end, especially whether every step we take now is genuine. It depends on their sense of responsibility. If it turns out that's not the case in the end, then it's meaningless."

Thinking about this, Simis really didn't know how to solve these problems. After returning home, he could only bury himself in his office and ponder them.

Yajet noticed that Simis was acting strangely and wondered: "He went to the Great Shang Kingdom, how come he has changed so much?"

About two days later, Simis invited Aja to his office.

“From today onwards, I unconditionally support your presidential campaign. But you also have to give me the power to conduct a full investigation into Howard.”

Yajet was taken aback. Howard was a highly respected figure in the area.

"Wait a minute, if we investigate this person directly now, where will our funds come from? You wouldn't be thinking of having Jiang Chuan arrange the funds, would you?"

"No, not really. Since Byce took office, have we had a normal president? And the financial groups behind these people are all Howard. Don't you find that strange?"

It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned it; once it was brought up, everyone started to worry.

These words made everyone uneasy. In fact, Simis understood, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.

He knew that to become president, he had to unite all forces and not lose his composure at crucial moments.

But they couldn't ignore Simis's words; how to resolve the issue depended on their ideas.

During this period, the national situation was very unstable. Just as they were arguing about the president, Jones and Tony made a decision.

“I knew all along that Yaget was going to take my place. If all else fails, we’ll strike first. After all, we can’t ignore what’s going on within our organization, and our creator is coming to this world soon; we have to give him an explanation, right?”

Tony listened and nodded.

"But how do we announce it to the world now?"

"There's no need to announce it to the world. Let's first stabilize the internal affairs of Atlantis, and then make this person our advisor. In this way, the entire country will be under our control."

"That's a good idea."

That evening, Tony brought Jones to a large helipad. As they waited, a strange beam of light appeared, and a strangely dressed person walked up to them.

Without saying a word, Jones and Tony knelt down.

“Our Lord, you have finally come.”

“Very good, you have done a good job. Now the entire Atlantis is at our feet, this is the best outcome. Rest assured, my army will catch Ajat off guard, and Howard will carry our hopes forward.”

In reality, this is not a creator at all, but a traitor who betrayed the creator. The reason he is so revered across Earth is because his army is invincible and has conquered many places in various dimensions.

The reason he wants to conquer this three-dimensional world is because the creator has found this world to be the most stable, and he likes it very much and wants to make it his headquarters.

In that case, he would be able to confront the real Pantheon.

This matter has a significant impact; the key lies in how everyone responds.

At the same time, Chen Tianfei immediately called Jiang Chuan.

"I have something to tell you. Based on the current energy measurements, I feel like a portal has opened in space."

"No way? So casual?"

At this moment, Xu Tianfeng suddenly opened his eyes and transformed back into an adult, looking at the couple.

"Father, Mother, something terrible has happened. That traitor has come to our world and is currently on a platform in Atlantis. But we don't know exactly what he's up to. We hope you can capture him and execute him as soon as possible."

After Xu Tianfeng finished speaking, he returned to normal and immediately closed his eyes. This scene caught Xu Jiajia's attention.

Sure enough, in less than three minutes, the Prophet and Old Xu were sitting in the living room waiting for them.

It's the middle of the night.

"You mean Atlantis has already begun its operation, and President Jones is doing everything he can to plant that person, is that right?"

"Yes! If I'm not mistaken, this traitor is very likely to invade our world."

He's less a traitor and more a fraud. The real traitor hasn't appeared yet; this person is merely the traitor's henchman, also known as the Creator.

The reason they are referred to as subordinates is that the true creator could not have appeared in this world so quickly.

So everyone immediately got ready.

"It seems war is imminent. Does this mean these armies are going to invade our world directly? What kind of army is it?"

"I don't know, but I've heard that many unknown forces exist in this world. Perhaps this person's appearance is to fight against us."

After Chen Tianfei received some materials, he distributed them to everyone.

"I think the key now isn't what to do, but that we work together to find the weakness. So, boss, I think you should go directly to the Great Shang Kingdom to discuss this with Yajet?"

"Absolutely not!"

Xu Jiajia rejected the idea without hesitation.

“Yajet is simply not capable of taking on this responsibility. To be honest, it would be more practical to inform the current Minister of Defense about this situation.”
