Jack noted how red and swollen the man's eyes were when the man lifted his head, and his hair was a bit messy. It
was evident that he had been deeply affected by something.
When that person saw who was coming over, his eyes widened as he shouted excitedly, "Lourain! It's you! Didn't
you enter Violet City?! Why are you here?!"
When Jack heard that, he realized why Lourain rushed toward the man, they knew each other. From the tone, they
sounded like they were from the same clan.
Lourain was clearly in no mood to reminisce about old times.
He grabbed that person's arm. "Dickens, why are you crying? What happened to you to be in this state?!"
Dickens gulped and sniffed.

warriors dressed like demons! Before they were captured, they pushed me out and made me run! I couldn't save
them at all!"
Hearing that, Lourain's heart froze.
Lourain knew very well what would happen to those that were captured by that group of people. His heart raced as
he gnashed his teeth so harshly that they hurt. He grabbed onto Dickens' arm. "Where are they? Bring us there
right now!" Dickens nodded nervously as he turned and started to run toward the north.
However, he suddenly turned around after he took two steps, widening his eyes as he said, "I can't bring you
there!"
Hearing this, Lourain was stunned.
He almost started to scold the man. "What? Why can't you bring me there? Are you crazy?!"
Dickens was still holding back his sobbing as he took a deep breath. "I'm not crazy. It's because I'm not crazy that I
can't bring you there. The two warriors disguised as demons are very strong. Even if the three of us go there, we
can't change anything. We'd just be wasting the efforts of Hashem!"
Dickens had been delirious from all the crying and suddenly forgot their skills. Even if he did not know who was with
Lourain and they had not introduced each other, the person Lourain was with did not look remarkable, probably
only around his level.
If the three of them went there, they would just be lambs to be slaughtered. They would be completely useless and
would put Hashem's effort to waste!
Lourain's lips twitched as he stomped.
He turned to point at Jack. "This guy's name is Jack! Surely you've heard of his name before?! If he can't handle
this, I'd just submit myself to my fate!"

Dickens frowned in confusion. He turned to look at Jack, not reacting after a long time.
Lourain was so anxious that he slapped Dickens' back. "Is there something wrong with your head?! He's Jack! Surely
you've heard of his name?!"
After the new task was announced, Jack's name was heard throughout Toman Battlefield. Even those who never
heard about Jack learned about him.
Dickens naturally heard about Jack before and had even talked about looking for him with his fellow disciples.
If they found him, the rewards were incredibly attractive. Dickens had definitely been tempted. However, they just
talked about it at the time.
Jack was a warrior that stood at the peak. With how much the new task had been advertised, he would probably
have found out about it. Unless there was something wrong with Jack's head, or if they were incredibly lucky,
Dickens would never get the chance.
