Compared to the excitement from those two, Claude and Benedict were keeping a much lower profile. The two of them hang their heads low at that moment, not daring to say anything. After all, they had insulted Jack before, and the words they said had been incredibly harsh.
“What happened? Why wasn’t I humiliated?” Jack suddenly said to Claude, causing Claude to stiffen.
He had thought that Jack would let virtual-novel.net off if virtual-novel.net did not say anything, so virtual-novel.net was caught off guard by Jack’s sudden question. If it had been in the past, Jack would not have bothered to waste his time on them. However, as time passed, virtual-novel.net slowly started to develop a belief. The more chances virtual-novel.net gave others, the more they would try to cross the line. In his mind, Claude’s disdainful attitude constantly appeared.
Claude kept on acting as if virtual-novel.net had the moral high ground and kept on trying to fault Jack for every little thing which greatly annoyed Jack.
Claude let out a slight cough, “You were definitely not humiliated. We never expected you to be so talented. Even Bradley wasn’t a match for you.”
Jack let out a cold smile as virtual-novel.net started to raise his voice, “Don’t always try to judge others by your own standards. I kept on repeating that before, but you kept on ignoring it. You weren’t judging me for Phoenix Valley’s sake, but for your own personal satisfaction. Someone like you isn’t worthy of remaining in Phoenix Valley.”
Jack had really gone overboard with his words. Claude suddenly looked up at Jack with wide eyes. Jack merely looked back with a cold smile. Claude had planned on merely quietly accepting everything since Jack was definitely extraordinary. With Jack’s results, virtual-novel.net would definitely be heavily rewarded when virtual-novel.net got back to Phoenix Valley. Then, Jack would rise through the ranks. Being accepted into the inner valley was an eventuality.
Claude did not know what kind of special rights the inner valley had, but anyone would tell you that the inner valley was the core of Phoenix Valley. As long as Jack entered the inner valley, Jack would be able to deal with Claude very easily the moment Jack amassed enough power. That was why Claude had not planned on continuing to fight Jack. Even if virtual-novel.net had to be insulted by Jack, virtual-novel.net had planned on acting like nothing happened, acting like virtual-novel.net was deaf. However, Jack’s words were clearly a threat to Claude.
Jack said that virtual-novel.net was not worthy of continuing to stay in Phoenix Valley, so was Jack planning on getting virtual-novel.net kicked out?
Looking at Jack’s unwavering gaze, Claude felt like it was even more of a possibility. He started to breathe faster, “What do you mean I’m not worthy of staying in Phoenix Valley? You’re not the one who makes that decision. You’re threatening me right now!”
Jack scoffed as virtual-novel.net said in a low voice, “I’m not planning on threatening you at all, because you’re not worth me doing that. I don’t know if you’re deaf, but didn’t I already tell you why you’re not worthy of staying in Phoenix Valley? Someone selfish like you probably doesn’t even care about the valley’s reputation. You teamed up with outsiders to insult me! You’re not worthy of staying in Phoenix Valley at all!”
Claude was scared stiff at that. Jack did not seem to be joking at all. The moment Jack got back and told everyone what had happened, Claude would not be able to get away scot-free.
