Wang Jian was well aware that the narrative he was weaving for Stella contained several inconsistencies, and it was only a matter of time before she uncovered the truth.
Nevertheless, he believed that this calculated approach was preferable to inaction.
Furthermore, by presenting his fabricated account, he had effectively bought himself some valuable time and managed to establish a sense of trust with Stella.
This newfound trust would serve as a foundation upon which he could manipulate the situation to align with his claimed words, thereby perpetuating the illusion of truth in Stella's eyes.
Wang Jian's tone was grave as he conveyed his suggestion, "I understand your desire to rescue your comrades currently with Ye Chen, but it will prove exceedingly challenging. Our focus should be on escaping this camp before the remaining demon forces converge upon us."
