Adrian took a deep breath.
From that moment on, the warriors from second-grad e 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, Adrian and Lydia bid their farewells with Chad and the rest, leaving by themselves.
Before they left, Chulanne and the others expressed their immense gratitude.
Adrian shook his head, saying it was nothing. Stefan never liked the warriors from second-grade worlds anyway, so he had been completely willing to help them.
Stefan 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 Adrian merely took only forty-one keys, leaving the rest to everyone else.
Lydia had something to say about that.
Stefan whispered to Josef, “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!”
Adrian 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 Lydia still felt like Adrian had taken too little, he knew that Adrian had always acted however Adrian wanted to. Since Adrian had said that, Lydia decided against saying anything else.
Chad had wanted to continue following Josef, but Adrian still rejected it after some thought.
In the end, he only trusted Lydia. Even though Chad had some skills, he would just be a burden if they continued advancing. After all, the ones in the inner regions were all incredibly strong warriors. Stefan would only be able to protect Lydia, another person would be too much.
Adrian’s goal was the centermost point of Chaos City, so he did not bring Chad along in the end.
After leaving the main group, Lydia was in a good mood. Stefan followed behind Adrian and continued walking forward as they chatted.
Stefan then raised six fingers.
Stefan waved them in front of Josef, “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 immediately, right? You should just accumulate another thirty or forty.”
Adrian turned to look at Lydia, 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.”
Lydia widened his eyes, looking at Adrian in confusion.
Adrian smiled and explained, “That’s because there’s a stage of the Nine about three kilometers further ahead.”
Lydia was stunned at that.
It turned 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. They only stopped because of the massive battle. After dealing with that, Lydia had thought that Adrian had decided against going to the stage.
Adrian patted Lydia 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.”
