Chapter 448 - 448: Leaking
"So don't throw your weight around. We didn't kill any Warlock Council members, and we didn't have a hand in the blast, but if you want to start a conflict with that, I won't mind that either."
"We here want to coexist with the Warlock Council, but we don't want any interference on what we do and what we don't. You stay on your continent, and we stay in ours. Follow that, and we won't have a problem."
"On the other hand, if you want problems, I don't mind that either. But I'll give you some friendly advice. Just make sure you all are prepared to die if you decide to attack the Uprising."
Every single sentence of Kellian was filled with threats towards the Warlock Council members, and Jia could see that he was serious.
She couldn't help but wonder how these people got so much confidence to issue a threat to the Warlock Council.
.Hahaha~
Her laughter filled the room, but there was embarrassment and anger hidden in her laughter.
"Good! Very good. It seems like you people have grown up a lot! Don't worry; I'll convey your words to our leaders. But this won't be the last you see of us. We'll meet again, Mr. Kellian."
Screech~
The sound of the chair being pulled back filled the room as Jia stood.
Jenilia also stood up. She followed Jia, who turned around to leave.
Watching Jia leave, Kellian looked neither happy nor sad. It was as if it was a completely ordinary thing.
"Have a safe flight back. Our helicopter is waiting for you on the roof. It'll take you to the airport," Kellian told Jia, who had just opened the door to step out.
Jia turned around. "I hope when we meet again, you won't beg us for forgiveness. Hopefully, you'll retain that confidence of yours."
She stepped out of the room, followed by Dallas, who was to escort them back to the airport.
Ting~
The lift doors opened on the roof, and three people stepped out of it, being Dallas, Jia, and Jenilia.
The three of them entered the helicopter, the rotors of which had started moving already.
It soon started rising in the air, departing for the airport.
Sitting in the plane, Dallas glanced at Jia. "I heard you mention about that plane blast which killed your member. You have my sympathies. I hope you find the real culprit one day."
"Save your sympathies. We know your people had a hand in it. And we'll find proof. And when we do, we won't be nice," Jia replied.
" I'll kill that person personally that day!" Jenilia also opened her cherry lips to speak.
"Hmm? Little girl, why do you want to kill that person personally? Shouldn't you leave that thing to the big guys?" Dallas asked Jenilia, amused.
"The man who was killed in the plane blast was her brother. He was her only family member," Jia explained, not even looking at Dallas as she talked.
"Her brother, huh. Hopefully, you'll find the culprit one day," Dallas let out, glancing out the window.
The helicopter soon landed at the airport where the Jet of the Warlock Council was already waiting for them.
At the same time, the door of another Private Jet opened, which had only recently landed here.
A young man stepped out of the plane, appearing to be somewhat surprised to see Dallas there.
"Yo, Dallas! Did you come to receive me here?" Jiang approached Dallas, calling out from a distance.
"You?! You work for the Uprising too?" Seeing Jiang, Jenilia was surprised. She had seen Jiang with Lucifer before, who called him his friend.
She was surprised to see that a friend of Lucifer was working with her enemies. In fact, she believed that it was something else. Was it an Uprising member who worked with Lucifer?
Carrying his bag on his shoulder, Jiang approached Dallas, who stood with Jenilia and Jia.
He also grew surprised as he recognized Jenilia. "Huh? You? Aren't you the girl that tried to rob my car last time? What are you doing here? Didn't you leave the country then?"
"You know her?" Dallas asked Jiang. "May I ask why you would have contact with the Warlock Council?"
"Not only me, even the little boss knows her," Jiang answered. "We gave her a lift last time."
"Little Boss?" Jenilia asked. "Are you talking about that guy who had a conflict with the APF escort? Wasn't he just a bodyguard of Lucifer? Why would you call him little boss?" Jenilia asked, curious.
"I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about-"
Jiang started explaining, but Dallas cut him off in the middle, seeing what was happening. It seemed like Lucifer knew these people, but they didn't know who he was. And this idiot was going to give away that information.
Not willing to let that happen, he cut the conversation in the middle. "Enough! Our guests are in a hurry to leave. Jiang, you should go sit in the helicopter. Kellian wanted to talk to you urgently."
"He? Alright." Jiang nodded. Glancing back at Jenilia, he continued. "I'll see you later. Best of luck."
He walked back to the helicopter.
The abrupt interference of Dallas was noticed by Jia, who realized that it was something he didn't want to know. Whoever this little boss was, it was important information.
"No, wait! We're not in a hurry to leave. We can spare a few minutes. Jenilia, why don't you finish the conversation with your friends. In the meantime, I'll entertain Dallas," she chimed in, smiling.
Jia understood it as well. She started running towards Jiang.
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow that. You must have all the time in the world, but we don't," Dallas retorted as he blocked the path of Jenilia.
It made Jia even more sure that he was trying to hide something.
"Fine. Since you're in such a hurry, we won't interfere. We'll leave," she let out, smiling.
"Come, Jenilia," she said, walking to her jet. Jenilia also followed her. The two of them entered the private jet, which started moving on the runway, soon taking off.
As the plane took off, Dallas kept an eye on it. The military planes of the Warlock Council also took off, providing protection to the jet.
Dallas walked back to the helicopter after the plane left.
"You know, you're an idiot," he scolded Jiang as soon as he entered the helicopter. "Can't you keep your mouth shut for a minute?"
"What did I do?" Jiang asked, not understanding what he did wrong. Why was this guy so upset? It wasn't as if he betrayed them or something.
