He deliberately brought up a topic, "This group won't let us escape their sights easily. If we leave their sights, they'll definitely go crazy..."
After Rudy heard that, he was immediately pulled out of his pain. After all, that problem was even more pressing.
He sighed as he said with concern, "What does that group want?! They've been trying to cause us trouble from the start. Could they really be planning on attacking us? However, Prosper City's laws state that we can't fight privately. If they really pull any moves, they'd just die!"
Fane nodded. Various thoughts flashed in both of their eyes. In truth, he was still not sure at all, thanks to the lack of information. He had no way of telling what that group wanted as well.
If they really planned on anything, they should not hide before they had full confidence in their plan. The group was quite kind to alert Fane the moment Fane arrived in the city. The more Fane thought about it, the more he felt like something was off. It felt like they really were just there to cause trouble.
Rudy shook his head in frustration, feeling like his head was being surrounded by disgusting flies, "Why don't we just go in right now. After all, they're all queuing up. I can't stand the thought of them
constantly following us. I'll definitely be feeling constant goosebumps!"
Fane nodded. It definitely felt bad being constantly observed, especially with Fane's personality. He definitely did not want to go through something like that, but the circumstances were special. After thinking about it for a long time, he frowned and said earnestly, "We have to just tolerate it for now. Since they want to follow us, let's just let them. I really want to know what their true goal is, and if it has to do with Grayson or not!"
Before, Fane had said that they knew far too little about Grayson. Even though Fane had gone through a lot with Grayson and Rudy before, Grayson seemed like a completely different person other than his looks.
On top of that, Grayson had disappeared the moment they entered Phoenix Valley. Those higher ups also seemed incredibly strange every time they brought up Grayson. No matter how they thought about it, they felt like there had to be a massive secret hidden behind everything.
If the matter did not involve him, Fane might not have been so anxious to figure everything out. However, as time passed, he slowly found that there was no longer any way he could avoid the matter.
Grayson already noticed him and had instigated the warriors and alchemists of the Unbreaking Pavilion to cause him trouble. If things were already at that stage, he would naturally have to figure things out.
Rudy looked at Fane seriously, not wanting to add to Fane's troubles. However, looking at Fane's expression, it was obvious that Fane had no way of solving those frustrations at that moment.
Rudy thought about it before saying, "Even if you seal my lips, I would also write it out. There are far too many questions in my head, such as why Grayson is in the Unbreaking Pavilion, and why he doesn't recognize us. Why would he suddenly try to do something to us? Could it be because of what I did back then?"
Fane sighed as he looked towards the others for a while before he whispered, "I'm thinking about these questions as well. However, there's something we can be sure of even if we can't investigate anything at the moment. There's only one reason Grayson would suddenly attack us.
"That's because you suddenly pulled his arm and asked those questions. We basically alerted him from that moment on..."
