Igniting the Fuse

Jiang Fei sighed. There was nothing that he could say to dissuade Han Tianyu from staying behind as he was doing it to help his cause. However, him agreeing to stay behind, to take endure more torture and manipulation by Qin Tian had reinforced Jiang Fei's trust in Han Tianyu. Jiang Fei stayed for a little while, to discuss minute details about his plans and by the time he was done, a new day had dawned and Jiang Fei left the base, undetected. 

"It is time for us to return to the other martial artists. I'm sure they are worried," said Jiang Fei after Ariel and he was far away from the base. 

"Alright. For the record, I think the plan will work," said Ariel before teleporting into Japan, to the cave where they left. 

It was halfway through the morning by the time Jiang Fei trekked back to the cave. There, he saw Bai Wanli pacing back and forth, worried and anxious.
