Chapter 289: Want a Fragment, Come and Visit the Jail_3

[Edward Jack: This is like a game of hopscotch, and each square, if you don't have a map, is much more difficult and time-consuming to pass. The time difference between having a piece and not having a piece on the same segment is more than tenfold!]

[Edward Jack: Right now, the Son of Heaven already has four '1369' pieces. If he also gets your 'two', his route will be almost complete! That is, he'll be able to reach the city center without any obstacles once he enters the city!]

[Edward Jack: Plus, both entrance locations are in his hands. When the city's entrance opens, the Son of Heaven will be able to march straight in. Even if we can track down the entrance location and enter it, we won't have any chance to compete with him in speed. He'll leave us in the dust and head straight for the city center to claim the throne of the City Lord.]

[Edward Jack: So, old pal, your piece absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Son of Heaven!]

"So that's how it is..."
