Rudy excitedly walked around in circles. He looked at Jack before looking at his own hand.
Jack raised an eyebrow, immediately guessing what Rudy was thinking. Thus, he smiled and said, “If you’re willing
to follow me still, I’ll take you along. You just have to make sure you don’t betray me.”
Rudy’s hand quivered, his face reddened a little, and he was shaking from excitement.
His lips moved, wanting to say something, but he could not figure out the words to say.
Jack laughed and continued, “Are you worried that you might not get used to other worlds, and that Hestia might be
safer for you? Yet you still want to see the wider world.”
Rudy lowered his head. Jack had guessed exactly what was in his mind. He stood still, not knowing what to do or say.
Jack stood up and patted Rudy’s shoulder, “Just say what you’re thinking and do what you want to do.”

After a moment, he finally said, “I’m just worried about my future. I know that you’ll protect me as long as I’m with
you, but I’m worried you’ll think I’m useless…”
Saying that, Rudy looked down again, not daring to meet Jack’s eyes.
Jack smiled as he turned to look into the Whirling World’s clear skies.
There was no night and day here, only blue skies above them. However, Jack knew that everything was just part of
a formation. The Whirling World was a massive formation that could only last for two years. After two years, they
needed to choose somewhere else to go to.
Jack sighed as he said seriously, “As long as you don’t betray me, you can keep following me. People will always be
useful, so you don’t have to think too much about it. However, I have to tell you one thing: you’re already linked to
me. If you go back, you might get taken away if anyone sees you…”
Rudy’s expression stiffened.
He pursed his lips, unable to say anything. It was what he was most worried about.
After going through so much, he was a completely changed man. He had put aside all the pride he used to have.
After seeing so many strong warriors, he finally realized how vast the world was, and his talents were nothing
compared to theirs.
He should have chosen to stay in a small place and live his life peacefully, but if he chose to return, he would lose
Jack’s protection. He would also be taken away by larger clans because he was always with him and would, one way
or another, make him spill Jack’ s secrets.
He could never go back on his own.
After thinking about it, Rudy finally said, “I’ll follow you. I can’t go back anymore, anyway.”

The more enemies they made, the more Rudy realized that he could no longer go back.
Jack nodded, patting Rudy on the shoulder wordlessly.

Three days later, Jack and Rudy stood in front of a massive city gate and quietly looked at the massive sign on the
gates.
“So this is Weinhord City!” said Rudy excitedly.
Weinhord City was a level four city. To save time, Jack chose a level four city over a level five city.
The moment the crystal badge formed, the rules of the whole Whirling World went into his mind, and Jack had a
clear idea of the path forward.
There were a lot of people within Weinhord City at that moment as a few warriors had come from afar. Just the city
gates had over a thousand people gathered there.
Rudy looked at the crowd and pointed at it. “I thought that there would be fewer people the further we went, but it’s
actually the opposite.”
