Chapter 783: Secret Of Jian (part 1)

"You-"
Tristan was stunned, unable to find words; however, he didn't like the tone of Caen. He tried to respond a second time, only for his words to be cut off again.
This time it was Arthur who had spoken.
"So that's what the timer was for. I see now."
"What?" Tristan turned to Arthur, wondering what Timer he was talking about, only to find him staring at the screen as well.
Tristan also turned to the screen. His lips opened slightly.
He couldn't help but wonder if the only reason Kellian wasn't allowing him to go out was because of this? Was he waiting for this moment?
Even though Caen defended Kellian, even he was stunned at the sight.
On the screen, they could see that Jian had suddenly stopped speaking. Jian was looking up, seemingly surprised.
At some distance from him, a figure could be seen floating in the sky, donning a long robe.
The deep red eyes of the figure were looking at Jian with a tiny bit of curiosity in them and a lot of anger.
Kellian soon turned back, revealing a comforting smile. "Alright, she is here. Arthur, send me, Tristan, Dallas, and Uzuki to that roof now."
"What about the rest?" Arthur asked, looking at the rest of the members.
"They'll be staying back. We still don't know where the other three Warlock Council leaders are. For all we know, they might not even be here. They might be near the base, waiting to take over it after we all leave. Leave us there, and you all return."
Arthur didn't ask too many questions. He just held the hands of Kellian and Tristan as he disappeared.
Kellian and Tristan appeared behind Jian on the same roof. Tristan couldn't help but feel a bit bad. He was accusing Kellian of being a coward, but Kellian was thinking about everyone else? He came out before everyone else. That meant he really wasn't a coward.
"Kellian, I..."
"You don't need to say it. I know you're an impatient person. You didn't have any ill intent behind your words. You were just upset. I didn't mind it," Kellian responded.
Arthur disappeared and went back to the base before coming out with Dallas and Uzuki as well.
Jian stood at the roof, alone and surrounded from all sides. However, his focus remained only on the person before him.
"So I was right. Lucifer and you weren't here. Unfortunately, I wasn't right about the timing of your return. You came back faster than I expected," Jian told Milena before he finally observed his surroundings.
Arthur came back with Jiani as he finished his last trip, bringing everyone here who was needed to be here.
"Arthur, you can go back now. In our absence, everything in the base will be under your control. You're the leader. Keep it safe."
Arthur didn't feel like going back as the battle here was imminent, but he also understood that he might not be needed here. Milena was finally here.
"I'll leave, but Jiani will stay here with Her Majesty. I'll keep an eye on the feed. If the others are here too, I'll return." Arthur disappeared again.
"I heard you've been making a lot of noise in this place. You killed quite a lot of my Nobles?"
"Quite a lot would be an overstatement," Jian responded, stretching his arms as if he was feeling slightly lazy. His Sword remained inside its sheath, which he held in his left hand. "I only killed the ones that weren't hiding like rats inside the base."
"Talking about rats, where is Lucifer Azarel? Still on that small continent?"
"You want to meet him? You know he would be really happy after meeting you. Can't say the same for you though," Milena replied. "By the way, I can't sense any fear in your eyes. May I ask why is that?"
"Fear of you? I haven't fallen to that level yet. I prefer using my brain to kill enemies and not getting my hands dirty, but I think it gives people the wrong impression. You might be under that same impression as well."
"And what impression would that be?"
"That I'm a coward?"
....
Arthur returned to the base once again, shifting his entire focus on the screen. They had sent cameras of their own which were sending them a broadcast of their own in case Jian stopped it for some reason.
The phone at the base suddenly started ringing heavily. It wasn't just one phone. All the phones were ringing simultaneously.
Curious, Arthur picked up the call.
"Yeah?"
"Arthur, It's me, Kane! I was working on decrypting the data of the Warlock Council base, and I found something really important! You must tell this to Kellian! Don't let them fight Jian! At any cost, tell them to return! They need to know everything before fighting him!"
"Know what? What are you talking about? Why do you sound scared of Jian?"
"Because we were wrong about him! Everything that was recorded about him was a lie! The secret about him was in this heavily encrypted data! I just went through it! Bring everyone back, this instant, so I can explain to them!"
"Why are you so worried? Our queen is already here. Don't worry about it. Kellian and the others aren't alone now."
"It doesn't matter who is before him! I would've been this hysterical even if Lucifer was there before him! They must know it before they fight him! This broadcast! It wasn't a trap to call you out of the base only!"
"Instead, it was done so he could kill you all live, for the whole world to watch! That Jian! He is too dangerous!"
Kane was literally yelling in urgency as he watched Jian talking to Milena. "Get them back fast! I'll explain everything later!"
"You think they'll come back with me? Others might, but Her Majesty won't come back just to hear something about Jian. She'll stay there and fight him. You need to tell me what you know about Jian! I'll tell her there, be fast."
"It's too much to tell so fast; I'll just tell you that everything we know about Jian and the Warlock Council was wrong. The Warlock Council wasn't started by anyone else. It was started by Jian when he was just a kid!"
"Jian isn't just one of the leaders of the Warlock Council, but he's the true King! He never took any part in any mission.. That isn't all there is about him. There's more! He is too strong, especially with his sword!"
