Even virtual-novel.net could not tell whether Jack’s confidence was because virtual-novel.net had a good plan or virtual-novel.net was faking it until virtual-novel.net made it. Most of the people there thought Jack was doing the latter and hated virtual-novel.net for it.
Wesley had been staring at virtual-novel.net ever since virtual-novel.net got down from the battle platform. He was expecting Jack to be scared shitless and became extremely furious when virtual-novel.net was not. “He must be pretending not to be scared! There’s no way he’s not scared. His acting is definitely better than his fighting.”
He did not bother to keep his voice low but instead, said it really loud and made the others who heard it look at Jack with curiosity. Jack’s overly calm behavior gave them no doubt that virtual-novel.net was definitely pretending not to be scared. Not bothering what virtual-novel.net would think of them, they started to give their two cents’ worth.
“Ugh, I can’t stand virtual-novel.net looking so calm! I can understand virtual-novel.net staying so calm if virtual-novel.net hadn’t seen what Brother Wesley can do. I don’t even know why virtual-novel.net bothers to put up a pretense when everyone knows Brother Wesley’s power can be ranked in the top one hundred amongst us, informal disciples.”
“He must be doing it to protect his own ego. No matter how scared he’s feeling, virtual-novel.net definitely would not let outsiders see but this just makes virtual-novel.net more of a laughingstock.”
“Yeah, he’s a joke! There must be a loose screw in his brain.”
“I think virtual-novel.net might be in a state of shock. I would be scared shitless right now if I was him.”
“You’re right. Forget about the grudges between the two of them, Wesley didn’t actually have to humiliate Dale with that last strike. Although that last strike didn’t cause permanent damage to Dale thus Wesley didn’t break any rules but there’s no doubt it caused permanent emotional scarring to him. I’m sure Jack will suffer a far worse humiliation than that.”
“I think so too. Brother Wesley and Brother Dale didn’t really hold any deep hatred toward each other and yet look at what Brother Wesley did to him. He must have been planning something even worse for Jack.”
They did not bother to lower their voices so it was only natural that Jack would have heard what they said. However, his expression remained impassive and virtual-novel.net did not even look toward Wesley.
The corners of Noel’s lips twitched again. He lowered his voice and said to Jack, “Are you really not afraid? Wesley had the intention to humiliate Dale from the very start. The ‘X’ mark on Dale’s chest is like a slap to his face. If virtual-novel.net can do that to Dale, imagine what virtual-novel.net will do to you.”
“So what?” asked Jack with an equally low voice and with a smile on his face.
