Fane took a deep breath. From that moment on, the warriors from second-grade worlds would have to think about the consequences before they did anything despicable. They would not dare to treat warriors from third-grade worlds as livestock anymore.

Not long after, Fane and Rudy bid their farewells with Chad and the rest, leaving by themselves. Before they left, Chulanne and the others expressed their immense gratitude. Fane shook his head, saying it was nothing. He never liked the warriors from second-grade worlds anyway, so he had been completely willing to help them.

Fane had earned quite a bit from the battle. Most importantly, he had managed to gain a lot of keys. There had been a total of over a hundred keys there, but Fane merely took only forty-one keys, leaving the rest to everyone else. Rudy had something to say about that.Content is property of .

He whispered to Fane, "You were the key to this battle. Without you around, the warriors from third-grade worlds would have been the losers. Why would you split the spoils evenly with them? You should have taken the majority of the keys. At least, you should have taken eighty!"

Fane smiled and shook his head, "This is already a lot. After all, there are so many of them there. If I took eighty keys in one go, it would be too immoral. I don't want to do it either. We have more chances in the future. The inner region is even more interesting than the outer region. There are more chances to get golden keys, so there's no reason to be fixated on this."

Even though Rudy still felt like Fane had taken too little, he knew that Fane had always acted however Fane wanted to. Since Fane had said that, Rudy decided against saying anything else. Chad had wanted to continue following Fane, but Fane still rejected it after some thought.

In the end, he only trusted Rudy. Even though Chad had some skills, Chad would just be a burden if they continued advancing. After all, the ones in the inner regions were all incredibly strong warriors. He would only be able to protect Rudy, another person would be too much.

Fane's goal was the centermost point of Chaos City, so he did not bring Chad along in the end. After leaving the main group, Rudy was in a good mood. He followed behind Fane and continued walking forward as they chatted. He raised six fingers.

He waved them in front of Fane, "I counted it all and you have sixty-two golden keys right now! With so many golden keys, you'll definitely be able to get an incredibly amazing

treasure, but I don't think you'll be

exchanging them immo.

right? You should just accumulate another thirty or forty."

Fane turned to look at Rudy, shaking his head before he said, "I was adjusting the direction just now. Even though we're still moving toward the inner region right now, we're going slightly off-center. We're going toward the southeastern side."

Rudy widened his eyes, looking at Fane in confusion. Fane smiled and explained, "That's because there's a stage of the Nine about three kilometers further ahead."

Rudy was stunned at that. Turns out,

they were going toward a stage of the Nine. They had been aiming for one of them while they were

advancing with Chad anyway

only stopped because of the massive battle. After dealing with that, Rudy had thought that Fane had decided against going to the stage.

Fane patted Rudy on the shoulder and said, "I wasn't planning on going to the stage of the Nine before this, but I suddenly acquired so many golden keys. After finding out how complicated the situation is in the inner region, I'll need to get even stronger to gain more benefits. So, it's better to get my treasure first."
