"This is the new weapon I've developed. None of you can match it, so why didn't you surrender earlier instead of wasting my time? Now, none of you can escape."
After detaining them, the Magnate immediately ordered Bala's subordinates to lock them up.
Bala didn't dare to hesitate and, after locking them up, he also held the King hostage.
"We've dealt with the Magnate. What's next?"
Upon hearing this, the Magnate smiled faintly and said,
"It's fine, just lock them up. Now I'll have a good talk with this brat and see if he's willing to come to his senses."
"Well, kid? Your strength is still no match for mine. Do you understand now?"
He thought the King would show some restraint, but even when captured, he remained defiant, speaking arrogantly to the Magnate.
"So what? If you have the guts, kill me! What can you do to me? I'll tell you, I'm not afraid of you at all."
"The moment you lay a hand on me, you'll find this world filled with poison gas. I've prepared everything. It won't be that easy for you to capture me."
Hearing this, the Magnate on the side let out a helpless chuckle. He then took out a device and attached it to the King's shoulder.
"Now what? Are your chips useless? I already told you."
"What you're showing off means nothing to me. To me, it's just a joke. If that stuff can be called technology, why would I bother creating magic spheres?"
The King noticed that all his devices seemed to have vanished instantly. It was no longer possible for him to activate them.
"What did you do to me? Did you... did you create something that can remove my devices?"
Upon hearing this, the Magnate simply smiled and said,
"That's right. You are now completely under my control, so this world will be controlled by me."
"I've already told you, there's no need for this."
Our world doesn't need any messy technology.
"We have enough with our crops. Why must you pursue technology? That technology will only harm all of us, and bring no benefit whatsoever."
"You should honestly just be a citizen."
Hearing this, the King remained silent. He knew he could no longer resist. Now, all he could do was surrender.
After the King was subdued by the Magnate, all his technological devices were shut down by the Magnate.
The Magnate didn't hesitate at all. He had long wanted to destroy all these unnecessary things but hadn't had the chance. Now that he was released by Jiang Fan, he could finally do it.
"Thank you so much, Jiang Fan. If it weren't for you, this world would likely still be trapped in an atmosphere of fear."
"Your help is extremely important to us now."
"If you want this magic sphere, take it. This core is of no use to me. It's better to leave it with you as your key."
"Besides, this thing doesn't belong to me. It was brought in by outsiders. I only used it to create the magic sphere. The core is just a battery. You can take it anytime you want."
Jiang Fan was quite surprised to hear this, but he still took the item.
Soon, Jiang Fan immediately left with these things without hesitation.
"Happy now? Now that you know the Magnate's true identity, you're finally willing to leave, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Niannian was quite satisfied. She had spent nearly an hour questioning the Magnate to find out his true identity.
The Magnate was actually just a deceased scientist who came here. However, his contributions were so immense that everyone respected him deeply.
Zhou Niannian felt rather awkward. She hadn't expected the Magnate to have such a simple background. As they left, the Magnate gave them a lot of food supplies.
After they left together, Jiang Fan immediately went to see Niutou and Mamian.
"Brothers, we're ready. Can we leave now? If you need these things, keep them. We just want to leave this place."
Niutou and Mamian looked at the core and smiled faintly before taking it.
"Alright, you can leave."
"Don't worry, no one will harm you."
Initially, Niutou and Mamian thought these people were here to obstruct Jiang Fan and his group from leaving, but they didn't expect them to be here to see them off.
After Jiang Fan left, they immediately returned to where they belonged.
With the core in hand, Jiang Fan successfully crossed the gate that had sealed them in for so long.
"I can't believe it, now I can finally leave that absurd place."
Jiang Fan left without any hesitation. Although his relationship with Bala was quite good, he was finally able to escape that hellhole.
Upon returning to Atlantis, the King of Atlantis was utterly astonished.
"You actually brought this thing back? You know we sent countless people, but none of them succeeded in retrieving it. How did you manage it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan smiled awkwardly.
"We didn't do anything particularly special. They were just quite cooperative. We did a few things inside, and they gave us this item."
Upon hearing this, the King of Atlantis was utterly bewildered.
