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

"I still don't know the specific reason, but I want to tell you that I'd better return to my homeland first, because this matter is of great importance to me."

In reality, Tony realized that part of his father's inheritance was likely directly related to this Victor.

“Global cooperation is now necessary. Although I know something about that enormous energy entity, our current information is quite limited. I wanted to ask about this old man, but I remember my father left me an inheritance.”

In fact, Tony has never shown much interest in that inheritance. It's said that the inheritance can only be used in the event of a global crisis.

“When I was young, I didn’t think much of the inheritance my father left me. It wasn’t money, but a bunch of data I’d never seen before. I was quite disgusted by it at the time, and even thought my father was acting strangely. Now I realize that things are not so simple.”

Jiang Chuan suddenly understood; it seemed that this matter was full of suspicious points from the very beginning.

"Let him go back."

Chen Tianfei's attitude was resolute at this moment.

"After spending so much time together, I believe that Tony and President Jones would never take things lightly in a crisis. Besides, we have become close friends."

"Who would dare to joke about a time when humanity's survival is at stake? Rest assured, once I return home, I will immediately contact Jones at Xiaobailou and discuss this matter in depth with him."

"Ok!"

This is indeed a matter of life and death. To ensure everyone's safety, only their persistent efforts can possibly resolve the current crisis.

And so, Tony rushed back to Atlantis without stopping. After settling his belongings, he immediately sought out Jones to discuss the matter.

"You mean we haven't truly resolved the crisis yet, right?"

“That’s right! The intelligence provided by Kyushu is very reliable. If we can’t coordinate with them in combat as soon as possible, this massive facility could very well destroy us all.”

Jones tensed up upon hearing this. He had only recently returned to the presidency, and although the domestic situation remained challenging, it was showing initial signs of improvement. Hearing this news now filled him with worry.

"You mean, with Atlantis already riddled with holes, we have no choice but to engage in battle again?"

"That's exactly right! We must now unite with the Kyushu Kingdom and even all the countries around the world. If that giant energy body in the Pacific Ocean begins to destroy the Earth, the most worrying thing is that supervolcano might erupt again."

Jones slumped into his chair, dejected. If it weren't for everyone's concerted efforts, Atlantis would probably have been destroyed long ago.

Even more frightening is that if this energy body were to pour all its accumulated power into the Earth's core, it could very likely trigger violent changes in the Earth's surface and crustal structure.

"What I'm worried about now is that once the crisis breaks out, our home will suffer a devastating blow, and human civilization may face annihilation. And we only have one month left."

With that, Tony took out a countdown clock and solemnly placed it in front of the president.

Only now did they truly realize the gravity of the situation.

"So you think our chances of winning are slim, and we might even face a complete defeat?"

"Indeed! At least the truth we have so far is horrifying enough. We don't know how to deal with it, and perhaps even more terrible changes await us."

Jones sighed helplessly. Things had come to this point; every second counted. Perhaps in the end, people would realize that the whole affair was far more complex than it appeared.

"Alright! In any case, we must now focus on solving this problem. One day we will realize the importance of this decision."

The intelligence that can be confirmed at present is already very crucial, and the final success or failure depends entirely on their own efforts.

To ensure the safety of all parties, Jones immediately began to plan the follow-up work. He urgently convened a confidential internal meeting and decided to send a special envoy back to the International Federation to carry out comprehensive cooperation with Kyushu.

Upon returning home, Tony immediately began examining the items. Although the extent of the situation's impact was difficult to predict, he firmly believed that as long as they persevered, hope remained in their hands.

He retrieved the family heirlooms that had long been sealed away and activated the scanning system to conduct tests.

Surprisingly, this object turned out to be a blocking device, also a massive structure. But even more puzzling was the numerous anomalies in its internal structure.

"Please wait a moment—"

It turns out that Tony's father was a complete plagiarist. After discovering that Victor had designed the device, he secretly copied it.

Despite the limited technology available at the time, Victor still noticed when Tony used computer technology to complete the copying.

This incident caused their relationship to deteriorate rapidly. However, Victor seemed helpless at the time—as the original designer, he was no longer able to create a more advanced version.

After a long period of research, Tony finally found the solution.

"My God, my father is truly amazing!"

The ideal solution at present is to dismantle this super machine directly, but this is simply impossible with the current level of human technology.

However, if the machine's operating program could be disrupted, and it separated from Earth and sent into space to detonate, the crisis might be averted.

Clearly, this solution cannot be accomplished by an individual alone; it requires a massive global collaborative effort.

To advance the solution, Tony took his research findings straight to the presidential palace. Jones reviewed the plan and was repeatedly amazed.

“Your father is truly courageous! But have you ever considered that this energy entity has coexisted with Earth for many years and has probably already become inextricably intertwined with it?”

"That's absolutely right!"
Tony nodded solemnly in confirmation.

"But you should understand that this is humanity's last hope. We can't just sit and wait to die at this critical juncture, can we?"

In fact, what Jones was most worried about was that compared to the Kingdom of Kyushu, the strength of the Kingdom of Atlantis was simply insignificant. Especially considering that the research team led by Chen Tianfei and its various technological achievements were now at the forefront globally.

"Don't worry, just make the requests you need to make."

After everyone quickly made preparations, Jones immediately decided to set off for Kyushu. This decision was by no means hasty, but rather the result of careful consideration.

They acted swiftly and decisively.

Although the current situation remains worrying, there may still be a chance for a turnaround if it is handled properly from the beginning.

"Ugh!"

Just then, the situation changed again. The countdown display suddenly moved the time forward by five days. It turned out that the monitoring system had detected human activity and immediately adjusted the final deadline.

"We can't delay any longer; we must begin the visit immediately."

Jones had no other choice at this point. Any further mishap could mean humanity wasting precious time and missing their last chance. (End of Chapter)
