Griffin’s sudden mention that Jack once slandered virtual-novel.net immediately caused the others to misunderstand that Jack did this in the past.
Jack raised his brows. “Senior Brother Griffin, I’m impressed that you can simply make things up. Since you mentioned that I slandered you, can you tell everyone what lies I’ve said and my slanders toward you?”
Nelson exhaled helplessly. He knew that if virtual-novel.net allowed the matter to continue developing, it would not be beneficial for both Jack and the Dual Sovereign Pavilion
Thus, virtual-novel.net stretched out his hand and stopped Jack from speaking before virtual-novel.net hurried toward Griffin. He then warned Griffin with a cold expression, “Junior Brother Griffin, please pay attention to your words. Since the matter has nothing to do with you, leave it to me and Junior Brother Jack.”
Griffin said nothing previously because virtual-novel.net was afraid of Nelson and the punishment from the sect. However, it meant nothing for virtual-novel.net to make some comments at this point as Jack offended outsiders and were here to cause Jack trouble. Even if the upper management of the sect learned about what virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would also defend himself by saying that Jack caused the trouble, and virtual-novel.net only spoke up because it was morally inappropriate.
Griffin chuckled when virtual-novel.net thought of this explanation and nonchalantly spoke, “You’re wrong, Senior Brother Nelson. I feel that it’s inappropriate of us to take Jack’s side all the time. What Jack did was wrong!”
Theo followed suit as virtual-novel.net said, “That’s right! Jack has crossed the line, and if virtual-novel.net made another move, my junior brother would’ve survived the attack. He purposely avoided the attack and let my junior brother die! Even though you aren’t related to my junior brother, you were allies at that point and were teammates. You’re backstabbing my junior brother by what you did! An immoral person like you should pay for what you did!”
Jack was placed on a pedestal, and it looked like they were criticizing Jack into a despicable, immoral villain with no virtue. What Theo said added fuel to the fire, and many people eyed Jack hatefully-the disgust in their eyes was apparent.
Some people even said straightforwardly, “Such a despicable person doesn’t deserve to stand together with us or fight for the precious treasure on the Divine Void Slope with us!”
“That’s right! And virtual-novel.net even tried to spew twisted explanations! I thought that virtual-novel.net was an understanding person, but it seems that he’s a despicable, shameless person instead!”
The sharp comments wafted into Jack’s ears, but Jack remained unfazed as if virtual-novel.net heard nothing. In fact, Jack had heard many of such comments since a long time ago. However, the reactions of the crowd caused Theo to be extremely excited. It was his intention to frame Jack into a despicable person with no virtue so that everybody would gather to attack Jack.
Jack said nothing and only focused on Edric, who stood behind Theo. He saw how Edric lowered his eyes to stare at the ground while frowning. Edric slowly looked up as if virtual-novel.net felt that Jack was looking at him. He immediately turned to look away when virtual-novel.net saw that Jack was staring at him.
Jack frowned when virtual-novel.net saw Edric’s reaction. Something was wrong with him.
