Rudy exhaled before he spoke, "When you were facing Walter just now, I noticed that Grayson kept looking at your battle. I was paying attention to him, and he noticed me later on. I couldn't see his expression because I was too far, though.

"His stare toward me felt so unnerving, as though I was about to be bitten by a snake. You were right; Grayson probably sees us as enemies."

Fane nodded. Ever since Grayson appeared, a lot more questions surfaced in his head. Fane did not believe a single thing those elders said anymore. There had to be an even bigger secret behind everything!

Fane was about to say something when Rudy interjected, saying, "I know what you want to say, and I understand everything without you saying it. I know my recklessness caused you trouble. I'll remember this in the future, and I won't cause you any more trouble."

At this moment, the people around Rudy and Fa

Rudy shook his head vehemently at Fane's offer, not wanting to follow through. "I don't want to stay here. If you go to the fourth level, you'll go to the fifth as well.

"There are seven levels in this tower. Who knows if you'll just be sent out or transferred to somewhere once you conquer the seventh level? What will I do if I'm left alone here?"

Fane nodded silently at Rudy's words. Rudy's concerns were not unwarranted, no doubt.

If he headed to the seventh level in one go, the tower might see him as a perfect challenger. It might reward him immediately and instantly transfer him somewhere else. If he left Rudy there, he might not meet him again.

Fane's expression seemed uncertain even after a few seconds, and Rudy, fearing his expression, reached out to grab Fane's arm.
