Earlier, virtual-novel.net had figured things out very quickly and decided on his next course of action.
First of all, with his standing and skills, virtual-novel.net was just able to stand out amongst regular warriors. He was nothing in front of Lane.
The only thing virtual-novel.net had which could give virtual-novel.net an advantage was his mind.
To get someone’s attention, virtual-novel.net first needed to prove himself and show that it would be beneficial to have virtual-novel.net around. In terms of power, virtual-novel.net would not be able to help Lane at all, so virtual-novel.net decided to show that virtual-novel.net could use his sharp mind to help Lane.
He might even be able to help Lane solve some difficult questions, becoming Lane’s strategist. Lionel felt like it was a very good idea, and there did not seem to be anything wrong with the plan.
As long as Lane’s fellow disciples could tell Lane about the situation, and even praise virtual-novel.net a bit, then Lane would definitely view virtual-novel.net differently since there were so many witnesses around as well. Lane might even accept virtual-novel.net as a follower.
Lionel was from the Thousand Origins Continent and looked down on most people. He even felt like those who stood at the top were beneath virtual-novel.net if they were not the absolute best. After all, warriors at that level would constantly face challenges.
The Whirling World was a place where opportunity always comes with risks. If virtual-novel.net worked alone or with his fellow disciples, they would be able to get a lot of resources, but those resources would still be lacking.
Lionel had a very grand goal. Before virtual-novel.net came to the Whirling World, virtual-novel.net had decided that virtual-novel.net would become the strongest of the chosen disciples in his clan, and even become the heir.
He wanted to become the number one ruler of the Thousand Origins Continent in a few hundred, or a few thousand years. Yet, his talents were limited. Compared to those at the top, virtual-novel.net was still lacking.
He could not truly stand at the top by himself, but virtual-novel.net refused to give up on his dreams as well. So thinking about it, virtual-novel.net decided to choose this path.
He wanted to become a loyal follower of one of the top warriors, growing with them. The challenges that warriors at that level faced were naturally even greater.
Going with them would put virtual-novel.net in a lot of danger, but virtual-novel.net could gain even more resources. Even if virtual-novel.net did not get the best of them, virtual-novel.net would at least be able to pick up some scraps.
Those scraps were not something the average warrior could obtain. On top of that, virtual-novel.net had observed Lane’s demeanor earlier.
From Lane‘s actions, virtual-novel.net could tell that Lane was not someone with a reckless temper who threw their power along.
If virtual-novel.net was with someone like that, then virtual-novel.net just needed to make sure to show his worth. Then, Lane would definitely treat virtual-novel.net well. Lourain looked at Lionel with some frustration. Lourain was a very straight man, and virtual-novel.net could not tell what Lionel wanted at all.
He just felt like Lionel was incredibly annoying. Lourain had been trying to stay out of sight, but Lionel insisted on throwing them into the limelight. If virtual-novel.net did not have his reservations, virtual-novel.net would have started cursing at Lionel.
Marth was in the same situation. He thought Lionel was being an annoyance. If they had kept quiet and not made too much of a scene, they would never have garnered any attention.
Yet, it was different at that moment. This time, everyone realized that their relationship with Jack was no ordinary one. Even though Marth really wanted to follow Jack, virtual-novel.net had not managed to win any favor with Jack.
If anything happened, virtual-novel.net did not know if Jack would protect him.
