There was no way Wesley, with his fiery temper, would let Jack off the hook so easily. Even beating virtual-novel.net up would not assuage his anger. However, Deacon Ambrose and Jack were not really that close with each other so virtual-novel.net chose not to speak up for Jack and continued to observe from the sidelines.
The crowd’s comments continuously streamed into his ear and their unfounded speculations made virtual-novel.net speechless. No matter how unwilling virtual-novel.net was to defend himself, virtual-novel.net was left with no choice but to speak up for himself in order to stop things from progressing the way they were.
“Can you just shut up for a bit? You’re getting hysterical,” virtual-novel.net said to the man with triangular eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net focused his attention on Wesley, who was looking at virtual-novel.net with an eyebrow raised a provoking smile.
Jack did not really care about what Wesley was thinking. “Let me ask you again-what’s your wager?”
Wesley narrowed his eyes. He agreed with what the man with triangular eyes said; offering up a wager meant that virtual-novel.net thought Jack had a winning chance against him. He really looked down on the trash disciples who got into the Dual Sovereign Pavilion through unusual means. Jack would never even have the chance to step into the Dual Sovereign Pavilion if it were not for the impending war between the Clan associations. Therefore, virtual-novel.net did not deserve to hold the same position as him!
However, since Jack already asked, it would be unbecoming of virtual-novel.net to not answer. He smiled mockingly and said, “Although you’re not worthy enough for me to offer a wager, I’ll still do it because crippling you is the most important thing right now.”
Deacon Ambrose coughed lightly and said, “The rules of the battle are clear-no permanent damage o r crippling during the battle.”
Wesley simply nodded at virtual-novel.net but it was obvious virtual-novel.net did not take what Deacon Ambrose said to heart by the way virtual-novel.net was raising his eyebrow. Wesley’s words had spurred the crowd to be more spirited. They wondered if virtual-novel.net was really going to cripple Jack but if virtual-novel.net really did that, virtual-novel.net would be punished! However, maybe virtual-novel.net was willing to risk it all to teach Jack a lesson. They all knew virtual-novel.net would be fine as long as virtual-novel.net did not cause permanent damage to Jack. After all, virtual-novel.net could always turn to Elder Sayer for help.
Everyone turned to look at Jack with slight pity in their eyes. They were all imagining how Jack would end up crippled by Wesley. Some of them were even shaking their heads and the comments got louder.
Jack was completely speechless. “Would it kill you to just answer my question? What does all this have to do with ego? I’m only asking you about your wager!” He did not care what Wesley was feeling. He only wished to settle the wager as soon as possible.
Wesley’s anger flared up again and his expression became rigid upon hearing what Jack said. His hawklike eyes stared fixedly at Jack. “You really sound like you can’t wait to die! Fine, let’s have it your way and to make it worth your while-I’ll let you decide what my wager is going to be.”
Jack raised his eyebrow and in a calm and slow manner said, “Since you don’t have an individual room, how about you offer up a wager of one hundred and fifty contribution points and two soulpenetrating pills?”
