Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 388: This place...?

"Haha, yes." Richard replied as he clarified, "I may be the master of that organization, I too have a master I serve."

Wei Jun nodded at the incomplete answer but he knew he wasn't getting anything more out of Richard so he simply asked, "Where to?"

"Over here," Richard said and Wei Jun followed. They soon arrived at a small cliff beyond which was an entire city. It wasn't a very big city. At a quick count, Wei Jun could only tell there would be space for ten thousand people at most, and even that was overdoing it.

"What you see right now is the city bestowed upon us by the gods," Richard said.

"Gods?" Wei Jun asked.

"The Supremes. Some of them who were on the side of humanity, joined the great dragon Seraph and created this space for us." Richard replied.

Wei Jun had many questions from that simple answer. Supremes? Great dragon Seraph? That space?

Each and every word that left Richard's mouth was a question and Wei Jun couldn't wait to get some answers to make sense of everything. Or to at least get a clear view of the matter, if not an entire answer.

"And you are?" Wei Jun asked.

"Aren't you a keen one?" Richard said with a laugh and said, "I'm a red wyvern. Much like that brother of mine who's your familiar."

'I'm not.' Wei Jun couldn't help but say. The truth was, it was the system that had revealed the identity of the man beside Wei Jun. Wei Jun hadn't been able to get anything on his own.

"I see." Wei Jun could only say that because he knew he wouldn't be getting any answers out of Richard. He would have to wait to meet that aforementioned master of Richard's. And he had a strong feeling it wouldn't be long before he would.

"I wanted to say this, but my wyvern brother is a bit unruly. You do not have to worry. He will soon see the merits of serving you." Richard once again spoke, referencing Morial who remained quiet in his own space.

They soon arrived at the city and passed through the walls to enter the city. The city Wei Jun witnessed was much like the Victorian Era London. Men and women were dressed from that time, making Richard the only oddball among them. Of course, that made Wei Jun an oddball as well.

"This way," Richard said, taking Wei Jun to the deepest part of the city where a castle could be seen. Wei Jun arrived before the castle and followed Richard inside. The theme of the castle was that of the Victorian era. Passing the guards, they soon arrived at the front door.

"Unfortunately," Richard stopped at that point and said, "I cannot follow you inside. No one is allowed to go beyond this point. And I say no one so going beyond here is considered a great honor. An honor even I have never been graced with and unfortunately, the same stands for my wyvern brother who is your familiar."

Wei Jun nodded after Richard had said his bit and summoned Morial out. The red-haired man who appeared beside Wei Jun seemed more docile than usual. He looked at Wei Jun and simply said, "I will say the same thing I said when you went to meet the Great Dark Elder Dragon. Return."

Wei Jun dismissed his words because going back wasn't an option. Now not only was he curious, but he was sure that going back would be impossible because he could sense nothing beyond that space. Even the system couldn't.

So the only option was to go inside and meet whoever it was. If the other party wanted him dead, he would have been so by now. If he wasn't, then there was a good chance he wouldn't be and the other party was somewhat friendly. Still, he wasn't naive enough to completely disregard every threat.

Every negotiation had a chance of failing and no one other than a businessman like Wei Jun could understand that better.

"Fwoo..."

Wei Jun let out a long exhale before he entered the door that opened by itself and as soon as he was on the other side, it closed by itself as well. Inside was nothing but still silence. Torches were lit on the walls on both sides while an extended corridor led deep into the castle, deep into the darkness. It was like the entire castle consisted of nothing but that corridor and wherever that corridor would end would be Wei Jun's destination.

So he walked. He walked all the way to the end of the corridor until he arrived at a hall that was as big as the entire city. In no way was it the castle Wei Jun had seen from the outside.

And in that dark space sat a red-haired man all the way over there in the middle. Wei Jun could still spot him even when the distance between him and the red-haired man was so vast. Wei Jun once again sighed and began to walk. He walked until he felt like a day had passed before he finally arrived in front of the man who was sitting crosslegged with his eyes closed.

Just as Wei Jun arrived before the man, the man opened his eyes and looked at Wei Jun with a smile, "Welcome."

"Hello...?" Wei Jun was unsure of how to reply so he simply said that. The red-haired man, his features only describable in one word, "Ethereal."

His beauty, his red eyes, the gentle look in his eyes coupled with his rosy pink complexion.

Even Wei Jun had to admit that even with such a high charm that he had, he paled in comparison to the red-haired man. It wasn't like he was jealous. But if he had to admire the man's beauty and compare him to someone, then only one person came to his mind.

"No need to be so uptight. This isn't an interrogation, negotiation, or a show of hostility. I simply wish to welcome you. I may not seem like it, but I knew your father." The red-haired man said.

"My father...?" Wei Jun was suddenly taken aback by the mention of the very person he was thinking of earlier. If there was one person who matched or even surpassed the red-haired man in the majesty he exuded, then it was his father.

"Yes, your father." The red-haired man replied before he added, "It wasn't for a long time. Only for a thousand years or so. After all, for a conquerer like him, this small place was too cramped."

The red-haired man seemed like he knew his father well. Or at least well enough to know his thirst for power. Wei Jun had never seen another person in his life who could claim or even think to be greater than his father. His mother was a different story because his father was a good husband but the only other person he had ever seen defy his father was his brother, and even that wasn't by a great stretch.

"How do you know Guardian?" Wei Jun finally asked.

"Haha." The red-haired man chuckled before he said, "To me, Damien, he isn't Guardian but a kind-hearted man known as Azreal. Kindness is accompanied by strictness but that's what a parent is."

"You knew of him? The real him?" Wei Jun asked.

"I admired him. I yearned to be him." The red-haired man replied before he sighed and looked at Wei Jun, "But now is not the time to discuss that. That was the past, now is the present, and what we need to worry about is the future."

"Future?" Wei Jun asked.

"Our future." The red-haired man replied before he said, "There is an entity that wishes to devour my world. I seek liberation from that world. Do you understand where I'm getting with this?"

"No." Wei Jun straightforwardly replied. He knew for sure that the red-haired man wasn't asking him to defeat that said entity because if the red-haired man couldn't, then he was sure he wouldn't be able to either.

"You're right. The way you are now, I see no scenario of you lasting even ten nanoseconds and that is me being generous." The red-haired man said before he said, "No. What I require of you is to completely sever the connection between this world and yours."

"Mine?" Wei Jun asked, but he wasn't asking in that sense but in the sense of clarification. His world or Wei Jun's. After all, he was two in one.

"No harm can ever come to Earth because your family is there. So, naturally, I mean the world you are currently in. The world of that vessel you're in." The red-haired man clarified.

"So? What do you want me to do?" Wei Jun asked.

"Simply sever the connection between this world and that one. Doing so would benefit you as well." The red-haired man asked.

"How so?" Wei Jun asked as he remained standing in front of the man.

Just as he asked that question, the world trembled like an earthquake had just struck it. Wei Jun could for sure tell it was in no way natural.

So, he looked at the red-haired man for clarification.
