“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.
