Atlan wanted to be free from this hell so bad, but everyone was so careful, he had no opportunity.
He was kept in a weakened condition, and on top of that, there were the chains that were covered in spells cast by thousands of Mages. In his weakened state, it was impossible for him to break those chains. In fact, even if he weren't weakened, it would've been harder for him to break those chains.
He was kept in a cell that was reinforced with thick steel walls, and each of the walls had multiple formations on them.
There was no source of light in this dark cell. Not even an opening for fresh air to co in. Only when the door was opened did so air rush in.
The main door of the cell was ten inches thick, made of iron. The door slowly opened toward the outdoor. The sound of footsteps echoed in the surroundings.
Atlan raised his head at the sound of the footsteps, not opening his eyes.
"Zhang, I suppose. Are you here to torture ? Go ahead. But just rember, I won't forget these favors. The day I'm free, I'll return each favor with interest."
"How did you know it was ?" Zhang asked, slightly curious. Atlan hadn't even opened his eyes to see who it was, yet he knew exactly who it was.
"It's definitely not because of my scent.
"You're right. You have no scent, possibly because of so spell," Atlan responded.
His fists were still clenched tightly as he felt the pain of the poison taking hold on his body, yet he didn't let it show on his face.
"Your n just left after feeding this poison. Who else could co next but you?" Atlan inquired, smiling. "Let guess. You were scared of being alone with , so had them poison and weakened before eting ?"
"You certainly have a sharp tongue." Zhang stepped closer. "However, you got one thing wrong."
Smack~
A kick landed on Atlan's face, making him fall to the ground.
"Do you really think I'll need to weaken you to thrash you? You think too much of yourself. I'm not like my father or my Ancestors! I'm stronger than them. Way stronger than you can imagine. Even if you were at your peak, you couldn't do anything."
"Even in this poisoned state, why don't you free my hands, and we can see? Certainly, you won't be scared of a little weakened Vampire, will you?" Atlan smirked, finally opening his deep yet fierce eyes.
"You think you can?" Zhang sat on his knees. "Fine. I will give you an opportunity. Not only will I give you an opportunity to fight , but I'll also make sure you aren't at your weakest when you fight . It's the promise of a Warlord. If you answer my questions honestly, I'll free you of these chains and let you fight in the open."
"None of my n will interfere in that battle. If you win, you can even kill , and they won't interfere. You'll also be free to leave. And if you lose, you'll be back to this cell. So do you want this opportunity? If you're really that confident that you can utilize this opportunity, then answer my questions honestly."
"What questions? Let guess. You'll ask the sa question that Razil did, like how Progenitors ca to be, our weaknesses, and the location of others?"
Atlan had over a hundred years of experience of going through such questions. He knew exactly what they could ask.
Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case here as Zhang shook his head.
"Don't compare with Razil. That guy is an idiot. He even made lose the opportunity of catching Castiel. It's alright though. You should be enough for now."
"Opportunity of catching Castiel?" Atlan smiled. "You really think you can catch Castiel, don't you? If only you knew him like we do. That man... Even we three couldn't catch him, let alone you. In fact, I would say that you're lucky if you t him and still ca out alive. I'm surprised at your luck."
"Just because you three Progenitors were not able to catch him doesn't an I can. You are weak; I'm not." Zhang chuckled. "You should've seen his face when I had Lilith's throat in my arms. He was so close to surrendering. If that idiot hadn't interfered, Castiel would've been begging to capture him!"
"It doesn't cost to dream," Atlan smiled. "I hate praising that bastard, but he does deserve it sotis. You needed an entire force of witches and Werewolves to catch . Just think how much force you'd have needed if you had gone to catch , Ramiel, and Lucius? And then cos catching Castiel..."
"Though I'm really curious. You hurt Lilith, and you're still alive? I suppose I know why he let you live..."
"Why? Isn't it because he was scared?" Zhang rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry. You will find out soon why he let you live at the ti."
"He didn't let live. I let him live, and not for long. Before long, he'll be here, in the cell didn't next to yours. He doesn't have long to roam freely."
"Maybe you're right." Atlan smiled. He didn't speak much.
Amongst the four Progenitors, Atlan was the one who was known as the strategist. He was really good at understanding plans and coming up with strategies accordingly. It didn't take him long to understand the reasoning behind Atlas not fighting Zhang. He didn't even consider the possibility of Atlas being afraid of Zhang.
That left only one possibility. He did it because he wanted sothing from Zhang. As for what that sothing was, he understood that it was him.
When he was in the cell at the Werewolf Clan, he had noticed so movent near his cell. Soone was definitely attempting to get close to him, but sothing stopped them. If he were in place of Castiel, he would've changed the plan to make things a bit easier for him.
He would've left Zhang alive so Zhang could take him from the Clan of Wolves to this place which was much easier to infiltrate for Lilith.
He was entirely sure that Castiel was after him. That's why he ca to that Kingdom, and that's why he let Zhang live. If that was the case, then he was sure that it wasn't going to be long before Atlas would co here for him... Soon, he was going to be face to face with Castiel…
