The moment Grayson’s name was mentioned, Elder Maurice’s expression changed. His eyes narrowed while his head leaned back a little. Jack looked at virtual-novel.net and was sure that Elder Maurice knew about Grayson.
Jack furrowed his eyebrows as virtual-novel.net said seriously, “I’m very curious. Where is Grayson right now? Is virtual-novel.net still alive? Even though I didn’t really have a good relationship with him, we still entered Phoenix Valley at the same time. The three of us went through some things. After entering Phoenix Valley, only virtual-novel.net disappeared. I really want to know why virtual-novel.net disappeared. Does it: have anything to do with me?”
Elder Maurice sighed helplessly, “If virtual-novel.net doesn’t really have a good relationship with you, then you shouldn’t look into this anymore. He’s already been completely locked up.”
“Why was virtual-novel.net locked up?” Jack could not stop himself from raising his voice a little. The question had been in Jack’s head for a long time.
Why was Grayson the only one locked up after what they went through?
Elder Maurice looked at Jack helplessly. There were some things virtual-novel.net was not supposed to mention. However, He could very well lose Jack’s trust if virtual-novel.net did not tell the truth. To Elder Maurice, Jack was worth a lot more.
Thinking about it for a long time, virtual-novel.net chose to answer in the end, “I’ve heard about what happened to you. When you were first supposed to enter Phoenix Valley, you were ambushed midway. Two deacons even lost their lives. We captured Grayson because of that,” After saying that, Jack was noticeably excited.
He wanted to raise his voice to ask why, but Elder Maurice did not give virtual-novel.net the chance. Elder Maurice sighed before saying, “Grayson was the one who leaked your journey…”
After Elder Maurice said that, Jack was stunned.
Grayson had leaked their journey? He was the cause of the ambush by their enemies?
That was too unbelievable.
Grayson’s face reappeared in Jack’s mind. He kept on feeling like Grayson would not be someone who would do something like that. Grayson was part of a fifth-grade clan and was incredibly valued by the Rosefinch Pavilion. After being tested and entering Phoenix Valley, virtual-novel.net should have been treated very well.
After thinking about Grayson’s origins more and more, Jack could not figure out why Grayson would do such a thing.
Why would Grayson leak their movements? Why would virtual-novel.net allow that group to ambush them?
What exactly was the reason for that?
Furthermore, Jack was even more curious as to why the enemies were trying to kill them. If the ambush had happened at West Cercie State, Jack would have thought they were attacking him.
After all, Jack had been in West Cercie State for quite long. Yet, the vessel being attacked happened when virtual-novel.net had not been in Middle Province for that long. Practically no one knew about him. Even Grayson and Rudy were just somewhat talented alchemists. They were no one notable at all.
Since Grayson was the person to leak it, then Grayson should not have been the reason for the ambush. Then, it must have been because of Rudy. Yet, after interacting with Rudy for so long, Jack did not feel like Rudy had anything about virtual-novel.net that was worth assassinating. Rudy was incredibly ordinary as an alchemist and horrible as a fighter. He did not come from a notable family either. So, Jack could not figure out why anyone would want to kill Rudy.
After so long thinking about it, virtual-novel.net was forced to conclude that the reason they were ambushed was because of the two deacons that died. They must have had a secret they were hiding.
