After the constant attacks from the warrior from Sacred Water Continent, his robes were incredibly ripped. Hence,
Jack and Rudy had no way to see it from a distance.
Rudy furiously said, “It’s actually Alfred Long! I can’t believe we’re seeing him here! He’s a chosen disciple from
Phoenix Valley!”
Back when both of them were in Phoenix Valley, the alchemists and martial artists had been separated.
Rudy had never interacted with the warriors before, even though Jack had. However, at the Hestia Continent’s area
under the Red Sun Monument, Rudy had seen quite a few chosen disciples from Phoenix Valley.
Those chosen disciples did not recognize Jack and Rudy and did not know who they were. Jack had entered and left

Rudy was different. When Jack was climbing the Red Sun, he had gotten to know quite a few of the warriors there
since he had been around. So, he immediately recognized Alfred. He still remembered how proud and proper
Alfred looked when he first met the man.
Rudy could not believe the state Alfred was in. He was completely covered in cuts and bruises. He looked like he
was about to collapse at any moment. However, he still held firm.
He clenched his teeth and refused to give up on running away.
Rudy’s hands trembled as his anger burned. Even though he did not really care about Phoenix Valley, he could still
not stand it.
He could not stand a chosen disciple from Phoenix Valley being treated like that, and could not bear warriors from
Hestia Continent being treated like that either.
The world was cruel, that was something he was acutely aware of. However, he could not bear it when he saw that
cruelty in action.
He turned around and grabbed Jack’s arm, “Let’s save him. It’s too pitiful!”
Jack raised an eyebrow, saying calmly, ”It does look pitiful, but it really isn’t. Since he agreed to participate in the
slaughter game, then he needs to bear with this. It’s not a game for children. He’ll meet various different kinds of
people, and death is unavoidable.”
Rudy nodded.
He looked at Jack earnestly as he said anxiously, “You’re right. This place is full of death. The slaughter game is
somewhere you need to be prepared to die. I wouldn’t have anything to say if he had just been killed.”

since he agreed to participate, but he probably never expected these people to be so evil, chasing him around like
a cat toying with a mouse, constantly torturing him.”
Jack sighed. In truth, he would have interfered even if Rudy did not say anything. He patted Rudy on the shoulder
before shooting forward.
It was only when he felt the gust of wind did Alfred realize that there was someone in front of him.
He widened his eyes. When he saw the person that was in front of him, Alfred’s eyes suddenly lit up. He could not
help but shout, “Jack!”
The tone of that shout stunned Jack. After all, he might have already cut ties with Phoenix Valley, but he was still
someone who entered the Whirling World as an alchemist from Phoenix Valley.
Technically, he could be considered a part of Phoenix Valley too.
