.....

n the grand finale, Jack and the gang triumphed, achieving their desire to see Arthur behind bars.

But hey, they dodged any legal consequences, so mission accomplished, right?

The media, always hungry for juicy stories, seized the chance to spill the beans on every nitty-gritty detail of Arthur's downfall. This put a temporary damper on the Arthur Group's business operations.

With victory in the air, Daniel, Dylan, Jack, Hermia, and the gang decided to join the The Eye. A change of scenery was on the horizon.

Jack, cruising towards the Eye, pondered the essence of life. It's not just about chasing that power and leveling up; there's a whole world of fascinating stuff out there. If Jack were a one-dimensional upgrade maniac, he'd probably still be grinding away in the first world.

But hey, that's not his style. Who wants a boring life, right?

Rather than obsessing over upgrades and powers, Jack craved a journey into the unknown, picking up abilities along the way. Sure, strength matters, but grinding through professions to reach a higher level? Nah, too time-consuming. Jack prefers to get the best bang for his buck, leveling up and then jetting off to the next adventure.

When will he hit that advanced level? Well, that's a lottery depending on his luck. But with so many worlds to explore, opportunities are bound to pop up.

And when the going gets tough, why not swing back to the original world and grind at your own pace?

So, why did Jack stick around until now? Magic studies, of course. Without them, he'd have jumped into the new world ages ago.

Still, with a bunch of familiar faces around, who's to say they won't meet again in other worlds? Could there be some strategic reunion planning going on? Jack pondered this for a moment and then had a lightbulb moment.

He strolled over to Bradley, camera in hand, ready for some photographic fun.

Bradley, baffled, asked, "What's the deal?"

Jack, adjusting the camera with a mischievous grin, spilled the beans, "After this drama, I'm off to explore some far, far away place. Don't expect me back anytime soon." He casually draped an arm over Bradley's shoulder. "But hey, let's immortalize this moment with a photo. I'll miss you, buddy."

Bradley, sensing some weird undertone, reluctantly agreed, "Why do I always feel like your words have a hidden agenda?"

Jack, satisfied with the snapshot, moved on to his next unsuspecting target.

It took Bradley a while, but the realization hit him like a ton of bricks. Jack was implying a long absence, and Bradley felt a twinge of concern.

"Come on, Daniel, I'm going to miss you too!" Jack, on a mission, was already eyeing his next victim.

"Why do I always get this weird vibe?" Daniel scrunched his eyebrows, but he didn't resist when Jack suggested taking photos together. After all, they had been partners for a year and had become great buddies. "So, where are you headed?"

"Remember I mentioned a place far, far away?" Jack grinned, checking the camera's photos and giving a satisfied nod. Then, he turned to Dylan, "Come on, Dylan, let's capture a few memories."

"Huh?" Dylan was still processing when Jack had already snapped several shots.

"Don't just stand there, buddy. Let's switch positions and get a few more clicks."

"Can you, like, put on a genuine smile? Yeah, the one straight from your heart... Oh, forget it, I'll hypnotize you."

Dylan: "???"

.....

As everyone in the car observed Jack relentlessly persuading Dylan into posing for no less than twenty photos, they exchanged perplexed glances.

What on earth was happening?

And why only Daniel, Bradley, and Dylan? Why this sudden photoshoot obsession with Dylan?

Confusion hung in the air. Even Henry, Merritt, and others unfamiliar with Jack started speculating if there was some peculiar orientation issue at play.

Jack, undeterred, hypnotized Dylan, orchestrating various poses for the impromptu photoshoot, and finally, with a satisfied nod, lifted the hypnosis.

Following that, Jack managed a quicker photoshoot with the rest, citing the excuse that the camera memory was running out.

They all laughed it off, brushing it aside as an amusing episode. "No biggie!"

Soon, the vehicle pulled up at the Greenwich Observatory, a stronghold of the Eye.

While Daniel, Dylan, and the others delved into the history of the society and met with elders, Jack, guided by Bradley, embarked on the main purpose of his journey.

Jack inquired, "What's your standing in the Eye to wield such influence?"
