Chapter 447 Back it Up 2
CLICK!
Reign opened the door , and Lilith expected him to step out, but he stopped midway.
"You can go back now and ask someone to bring Celine here," he ordered.
Your journey continues on empire
"Are you serious! " Lilith protested.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now. The audacity.
Here she was, stressing out about their situation, and he was ordering her to fetch his girlfriend.
Worst of all, they were going to meet and have fun in an super expensive hotel room that she had paid for with her hard-earned money.
'Does he really think I'm just going to sit here like a good little minion while he plays the big boss?' she muttered, rubbing her temple again in frustration.
But after running the numbers in her head, she realized she couldn't afford to lose him.
He was her ace in the hole, the only one who could dramatically increase her chances of getting the key.
If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't want to work with him at all.
Hell, even Lucifer was more tolerable, and that guy was known for his massive ego.
"Just do it. Besides, are you really planning to stay here? You have plenty of things to work on. It would be much better and more efficient for you to go back to your mansion."
Funny enough, all his words were true, but it still didn't sit well with her to be treated this way.
"I'll take my leave now," she said, standing up and smoothing down her dress. She didn't want to argue anymore.

3 Minutes Earlier.
Inside Lilith's mansion, Celine was curled up in bed, clutching a pillow .
'I miss you,' she murmured into the soft fabric, her voice muffled.
It was a genuine expression of her feelings, one that reflected her longing for him.
'I want to see you so badly,' she added, a hint of embarrassment creeping in.
She felt silly to be so hopeless after just a few days apart, but the pain in her chest was real.
As she pondered these small matters, she was unknowingly using her power.
Whatever was happening within her was bound to influence the one she cared for.
It was the kind of ability that Reign had always been wary of, yet he had unknowingly fall to it without even realizing.

In the morning, when news spread that the Behemoth had landed, people flocked to the area like moths to a flame.
Journalists, curious citizens, and thrill-seekers all rushed to get a glimpse of the massive ship.
Instead of fear, the citizens were filled with a sense of joy and pride, amazed by humanity's incredible achievement.
They gathered together, eyes wide with wonder as they stared at the sight.
The airship was huge, stretching the length of ten football fields, with a robust design that was truly eye-catching.
"Look at the size of that thing!" one journalist shouted.
"It's massive! I can't believe we invented something like this!"
Another one quickly fumbled with his camera, snapping picture after picture, determined to capture every angle of the colossal airship.
They spoke as if they had contributed to its creation, but in reality, only a select few geniuses and hardworking engineers had made it possible.
"Do you think we'll get to talk to the crew?" a girl asked eagerly, clutching her notepad.
She was just a college student, and her thoughts drifted to the possibility of finding a handsome crew member.
If she managed to catch one, she'd be set for life, and who knows? He might even take her to Tempest Fort.
It was a petty agenda, but she wasn't the only one thinking it.
A closer look at the crowd revealed many women who had dressed to impress, and unlike the men there to admire the actual airship, most of these females were on the lookout for something more—almost as if they were scouting football players.
As the crowd grew, the authorities quickly set up barricades to keep everyone safe.
Officers shouted commands to control the chaos.
"Stay back! Keep the area clear!" one officer yelled, trying to manage the eager crowd .
"Remember, this is a restricted area! You cannot get too close!" Another officer waved his arms, urging the onlookers to maintain their distance .
But the crowd were just too excited to listen; they all wanted to know more.
"Wow, this place is really packed!" Reign remarked as he joined the crowd. He had just arrived after leaving Celine at the hotel— extremely satisfied and sleeping.
His gaze fell on the hangar that had opened up, showing a line of tanks inside.
These weren't ordinary tanks; they looked much more advanced than anything he had seen before.
There were other weapons too, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
What he really wanted to know was how many powerful people had come .
'This would be much easier if I used my real body,' he sighed.
Although this body could still sense energy, his original one was much more accurate because of 'Undead Eye'
RING! RING! RING
His phone buzzed in his pocket, jolting him from his thoughts.
He pulled it out to see Lilith's name flashing on the screen.
(I need you to listen carefully,)she said as soon as he answered.
(Meet one of my contacts in a white van nearby. They're with a couple of journalists who were allowed to enter the airship as part of a PR stunt. This could be a good opportunity for you.)
"I'll head there now. Where's the van?"
(Just a block away, behind the fire trucks. You'll see it parked there.)Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Got it,"
As he reached the edge of the crowd, Reign saw the van .
It was easy to spot because it had a faint outline of a the station logo on the side.
Just as he reached for the door handle, it swung open, and a young woman with short brown hair greeted him with a friendly smile.
"You must be Reign," she said, waving him inside.
