Chapter 826
"Isn't it easy to guess by now? I want us to work together. I can help you get this world. We can work together. And in return, I want you to help me in understanding the outer world. Why limit ourselves to this small world when we can have much more?" Jian suggested.
"So you want me to help you control the outer world?"
"Not control. Control would be a wrong word. I just want to understand what the situation outside is and, if possible, learn how to use that for myself. I just don't like unknown factors in my life, and the appearance of that spaceship has tossed all my notions out the door."
"That's why I want you to help. Think clearly. In exchange for some information, not only will you get my help, but you'll also get my support. And who knows, maybe we could achieve even better things in the future by working together. There are so many possibilities for the future now."
Coming up to Lucifer, Jian had many things in his mind. Initially, he just wanted to kill Lucifer, but after seeing Joana and the ship, he knew that he couldn't kill Lucifer, at least until he didn't know more about the situation.
He wanted to know more about the outer world, but that didn't mean he had dropped the plan to kill Lucifer. On the contrary, he had only delayed the plan. There was no way he was going to give this world to Lucifer. It was only a matter of time. He just wanted to get everything from Lucifer that he could.
On the other hand, Lucifer wasn't a saint either. Even though he decided to hear the offer, he didn't intend to help Jian. Hearing the offer of Jian, he realized that he could use this to his advantage to get the things he needed. He was never going to forget the fact that he had killed so many of his friends.
It was as if both sides stood before each other, ready to backstab the other person as soon as they received what they wanted.
"So, what do you say? Let's forget this enmity and make a new future together?" Jian suggested.
"How can I trust you?" Lucifer asked, taking a step closer to Jian.
"We must find a mutual ground so we can treat each other. I know we both made a lot of mistakes but let's not get trapped in the past," Jian commented as he finally stepped closer to Lucifer as well to show that he was willing to trust him.
Jian stopped just a meter away from Lucifer. "You just need to take that one step. I am putting my life in danger by trusting you, but if that's what's needed to show that I'm ready to put the past behind, then so be it."
"You can either kill me and get it done with, or you can trust me as well. Just imagine what the two of us can achieve if we work together?"
Milena glanced at Lucifer as if hoping for him to kill Jian! He was standing so close to him. It was a perfect opportunity. However, Lucifer had something else in mind.
He could feel that something was wrong. Why was Jian standing before him so comfortably? Even if he trusted Lucifer, there was no way he would put his life in danger like that.
Even until now, Lucifer wasn't informed about the ability of Jian where he just couldn't die. It was literally impossible to kill him. On the contrary, each death made him stronger. It was an ability even superior to healing in some ways.
In the heat of the moment, Milena had also forgotten about this ability of Jian as she started hoping for Lucifer to kill him. Going against her expectations, Lucifer didn't do anything like that.
"Fine. As you said, it's only fair. You killed my men; I killed yours. I can't let my past define my future. However, I want your help to take over the world. My goal stays the same." Lucifer informed Jian, taking him up on his offer.
"That's good. Consider this world yours. With your strength and mine, there is no one who can stop you. So, can we get to talking about the space thing? Who was that guy? And what is this spatial organization?" Jian took a seat.
He only needed the answers to his questions. He wanted to get it done with fast so he could kill Lucifer fast.
"This is a place to eat, not to talk." Lucifer smiled in response, taking a seat before Jian. "What's the hurry?"
Lucifer ordered something for Jian as well. Jian wasn't hungry, but he could see what Lucifer was trying to do.
"You don't want to tell me, do you?" Jian directly asked.
"I don't want to tell you so soon; you're right. First, I need to see how sincere you are about working together," Lucifer responded. "Taking over the world is a time consuming task, so I won't ask you to do that to prove your sincerity."
"Then what do you want as a gesture of my sincerity?" Jian asked. Even though he was a bit annoyed, he didn't let it show on his face as he waited patiently for Lucifer to finish.
"It's simple. I want you to explore a Dungeon with me. It should be simple for the two of us?"
"A dungeon? What? Why? Which Dungeon?"
"The same Dungeon where my parents were killed."
"Why would you want to explore that Dungeon?" Jian asked, confused. "What's special in it?"
"Two of my men are trapped there. I want to get them out. Since we're working together, of course, you'll help me, won't you?"
He hadn't forgotten about the men who were trapped in the Level Seven Dungeon that was connected to a Level Four Dungeon. Initially, his plan was to recover the sword of his from there, but things went South, and his men were captured there.
Not only that, a higher ranking Dungeon's existence was made apparent to him. He was about to go there after finishing the mess of this place, but he had a better idea now. He was strong, but if he could take Jian with him, it was going to be even better for him.
Jian was as strong as him. With Jian and Milena, he was sure he could break any trap in the level seven Dungeon and face anyone. It was the perfect situation to use Jian. If Jian was killed, it was fine. If he didn't, it was still fine since Lucifer could take out the Level Seven Dungeon beasts with Jian.
