Jersey, who was still chasing Xu Lin at a run, felt a surge of anxiety and unease. His footsteps were as swift as a gale. When he reached the gates of Metz City, even as he worried whether he would be able to catch up to Xu Lin, he spotted Xu Lin leisurely stepping through the city gates.
Jersey knew that rushing into the city right now was ill-advised, as it would easily draw the attention of the gate guards. But he was even more terrified of losing Xu Lin again and being left in the dark about his situation. The anxiety in his heart left him incapable of calm reflection, so he did not slow his pace in the slightest and continued sprinting toward the gate. The guards at the gate frowned as they watched Jersey come running up, unable to understand why the man was in such a frantic rush. Yet they did not try to stop him, merely gazing at him with curious and puzzled expressions.
After passing through the city gates, Xu Lin had not walked very far when he heard someone calling out to him from behind. Recognizing Jersey's voice, he immediately stopped and turned back to watch Jersey running toward him.
