Conrad was about to die from jealousy, deeply envious of all of Jack’s accomplishments. Jack was not just better at alchemy than everyone else, but virtual-novel.net was even an accomplished fighter.
God truly played favorites, and Jack was the apple of his eye. He seemed like a speck of insignificant dust, while Jack was akin to the brightest sun in the sky.
Conrad was in an incredibly unstable mood at that moment. In his arduously bitter state, virtual-novel.net spoke, “Did virtual-novel.net hide his strength to surprise everyone? I got to hand it to him, virtual-novel.net did it. Our jaws are about to hit the ground. You know, that’d be ridiculous if virtual-novel.net did.”
Elder Maurice heard that and immediately retorted, “Don’t speak nonsense just because you’re skill-less. Jack hid his strength, but virtual-novel.net didn’t know what the contents of the tournament would be! He didn’t knew he’d be facing a phoenix. The proof is in the pudding, and you can try all you want to smear Jack, but it’s pointless!”
Conrad’s face reddened at that. He knew that the words virtual-novel.net said earlier were twisting the truth, but virtual-novel.net still could not stop himself. He had been berated in front of everyone and felt incredibly embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Master Forrest coldly looked at Conrad. If word about what happened here were to spread, everyone would think that Sky Peak Pavilion were sore losers, and they even tried to smear their opponents. It was definitely not a good look.
Conrad immediately shut his mouth upon noticing Master Forrest’s sharp gaze on him, not daring to say anything.
At that moment, Jack had obtained five Green Phoenix Fruits and was walking toward everyone with the phoenix core as well. When virtual-novel.net left the illusion and went into the buffer, virtual-novel.net immediately saw everyone within the buffer looking at virtual-novel.net with complicated expressions.
Elder Maurice was in no rush to praise Jack. He merely looked at Jack with a measuring expression as though virtual-novel.net was an incomparable treasure.
Jack’s lips twitched helplessly, not caring about how everyone was looking at him. He merely opened up his palm in front of Master Forrest. “You agreed to this before. These are all mine.”
Jack’s words caused Master Forrest’s face to sour. Back then, virtual-novel.net had thought that Jack was just bragging when virtual-novel.net said all that. Alas, it seemed like Jack had said all of that because virtual-novel.net knew how confident virtual-novel.net was in himself and his skills.
With that in mind, Master Forrest felt a little depressed. Everything virtual-novel.net had said came back to haunt virtual-novel.net fervently, and virtual-novel.net felt like an utter fool. His body stiffened, almost losing his composure. After calming himself down, virtual-novel.net finally mustered a smile… One that looked incredibly forced and ugly.
“I have said that, yes, and I’m a man of my word. Everything there is yours. ”
Jack nodded. With these words, everything in his bands was his for sure. He had thought that the tournament would have just been a way for virtual-novel.net to escape danger, but virtual-novel.net had actually won himself a reputation and a small fortune.
After placing everything in Mustard Seed, Jack was noticeably much happier. In contrast, however, everyone else looked much more tormented.
