Rudy had once been someone who did as he pleased as well, but he slowly understood that he could not keep on doing that. It was not good to make enemies out of those large forces. If they really focused on dealing with Fane, their future days would prove to be very difficult.
Before, he had never bothered to think too deeply about those things, but he slowly realized that things would just get worse if he acted without any regard for the future. He was forced to try and advise Fane to not be too reckless.
After all, Scarlet Pavilion was the only ninth-grade clan in Hestia Continent, making them the strongest. Even in the Whirling World where everyone was restricted to the late stage of the innate level, Fane still needed to be careful to not make too much of a scene despite his skills.
What would happen after they leave the Whirling World? Were they just not going to be in Middle Province anymore? Fane's skills definitely meant that he would reach greater heights in his life. Middle Province was where most of the geniuses in Hestia Continent gathered. If he offended all the major forces, then Fane would not be able to remain in Middle Province in the future.
Rudy was just someone insignificant, so he did not
really need to think about that. Even if he did not continue remaining in Middle Province, he could just make a living elsewhere.
However, Fane could not do that. After Fane heard Rudy's words, Fane raised an eyebrow and patted Rudy on the arm, "I know what you're worried about, but you don't have to be so concerned. I haven't offended all of the major forces, and there are some things that you have to think deeper about.
"Those major forces will protect their own people simply because it benefits them more to do that. As long as my value is greater than those benefits, those major forces won't protect their own people to that extent."
Rudy could not understand what Fane was saying. He frowned as he looked at Fane in confusion, "What do you mean? Are you planning on joining someone?"
Fane shook his head before letting out a slight laugh. He looked up at the various carvings on the ceiling, only answering after a while, "I definitely won't join them even if they want me to. As long as you're willing to think about it, there are ways to settle everything. Even the major forces have to cooperate when it comes to certain things!"
Fane was even more confused at that, but he knew that Fane would never say empty words, nor did Fane ever brag. Since Fane said so, Fane naturally had something in mind. He slowly tossed aside all his worries. 3
He looked up at the Heaven Array in the middle. With his skills, there was no way he could participate. However, he was still very curious as to what they would be competing at after being sent into that space.
Could it just be an alchemic test? Various thoughts played in his head. Just as he was about to talk about it to Fane, he heard footsteps as a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
Fane looked up and frowned, sighing internally. It had taken a while for things to quiet down for him, but there were still some people who insisted on causing him trouble.
The person had black clothes on, and had a long face as well as a goatee. He was obviously not some ordinary person. That person was Samuel, the alchemist from the Compass Pavilion.
Samuel let out a slight smile as various emotions played in his eyes. He did not say anything, but instead took out a mat from his storage space and placed it right in front of Fane. After that, he sat down, seemingly prepared for a long conversation with Fane.
Fane frowned, starting to plan on changing his spot. He hated talking to these people.
