Remember Me
“I think there’s something else behind this,” whispered an alchemist from the Unbreaking Pavilion who seemed to
be of no great rank
Gent raised an eyebrow before turning around. “Something else behind what?”
That person hurriedly replied, “The order to capture Jack alive. I don’t think it‘s because of what happened in Black
Sun City.”
Right after he said that, Gent was taken aback for a moment. The others, too, started to discuss the matter.

about what happened in Black Sun City, but other than that, nothing else has been said.”
The average-looking man meaningfully persisted, “Of course, I’m not just saying it blindly. Just think about it, who
was the one who issued this order?!”
Everyone fell silent at this. They exchanged looks among themselves, suddenly understanding.
A thought occurred to Gent at that moment. “It was Grayson…”
The man nodded, “It was Grayson. He usually would never bother with things like that, and he’s never issued any
orders as well. He was never supposed to be in charge of Black Sun City anyway. With Grayson’s usual temper, he
would never have bothered with anything like that. The people who died in Black Sun City would have been nothing
of note to Grayson.”
The man’s words were echoed by the other alchemists who nodded vigorously.
Gent frowned, thinking about it for a while before nodding as well.
With how Grayson was, those things would never have prompted Grayson to act. He was never one to bother with
things that were not related to him. Yet, this was an order from Grayson. It was clearly problematic just thinking
about it.
Gent raised an eyebrow. “Is there something more to this incident? Could Jack have done something? I’m beginning
to get excited at the thought of meeting Jack.”
The other alchemists nodded; they, too, wanted to see Jack.
At that moment, the average-looking man suddenly let out a low shout as he pointed in a direction. “Look over
there! Isn’t that Jack?!”

The moment the man said that, all of the alchemists of the Unbreaking Pavilion looked toward where he was
pointing at. True enough, they saw a familiar figure, followed by another one, and they slowly walked toward
Prosper City’s plaza.
Gent’s lower jaw hung so low that an egg could fit his mouth. “It’s Jack!” he exclaimed.
Jack did not know at that moment that he had garnered massive attention. Rudy, meanwhile, had been quite happy
the whole journey, and the two of them finally arrived at Prosper City’s Plaza after walking for three days and three
nights.
Just like the cities before, they would need to pass the entry test if they wanted to enter Prosper City.
“I won’t drag you down this time,” assured Rudy. “If I can’t pass the entry test, then I’d be worthless for sure.”
Jack turned to look at Rudy as he pursed his lips. “You haven’t been a sixth-grade alchemist for that long, so don’t
be overconfident. You still need time and experience.”
