Rudy smiled in glee, feeling like virtual-novel.net had regained his lost honor. He then pointed at a muscular man who had criticized Jack the most earlier.
This man was the same man who had criticized others in front of Jack, and Rudy remembered the nasty things the man had said.
Rudy pointed at the guy and said, “You said that something‘s wrong with Jack’s brain, didn’t you? That he’s not skilled and that he‘s ignorant. Well, do you still think that now? Who’s the ignorant one now, huh?”
The man’s face reddened as his lips twitched. Everything virtual-novel.net had said and done came back at virtual-novel.net and made virtual-novel.net a fool.
Everyone was dead silent at that moment. Those who had so happily criticized Jack earlier turned mute, not even daring to utter a single word.
Rudy snorted coldly, not bothering with them as virtual-novel.net turned to look at Jack.
Naturally, Jack did not bother with these people. Jack looked at Joe and reached out. “The two of us signed a contract. If you want to go against it, you’ll get a backlash from the laws of the world. I don’t have time to waste on you. Just hurry up and pay me.”
Jack’s words deeply humiliated Joe. He was so angry that virtual-novel.net was trembling, but there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do. He struck a wager with Jack and lost terribly. He even signed a contract, so it was too late for regrets.
Joe angrily took out 10000 spirit crystals from his storage and handed them to Jack.
Jack raised an eyebrow at this and actually started to count the spirit crystals in front of everyone there. Only after virtual-novel.net made sure the number was correct did virtual-novel.net put the crystals in Mustard Seed.
Joe felt like virtual-novel.net had just been slapped a few times. His chest heaved in anger as virtual-novel.net glared at Jack with gritted teeth. It was as if Jack was his mortal energy. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net did not say anything even as virtual-novel.net quaked in anger. Skill trumped debate, after all, and Jack had silenced everyone with his results. At that moment, there was no point for Joe to say anything. He would just virtual-novel.net laughed at.
Jack raised an eyebrow before virtual-novel.net turned and began to walk toward the city gates.
Anthony hid at the back, not daring to say a single word. He was worried that Jack would humiliate virtual-novel.net by bringing up what virtual-novel.net had said earlier.
After all, virtual-novel.net had treated Jack as a pure alchemist back then and felt like Jack’s actions were a complete joke.
Anthony had a bitter feeling in his heart as virtual-novel.net watched Jack walking away. He had thought that there was something wrong with Jack’s head, but Jack, surprisingly, had the skills.
Compared to Jack, virtual-novel.net was useless. It made sense why Jack did not even bother with him. With absolute skill, virtual-novel.net even brought Rudy with virtual-novel.net into the city, and virtual-novel.net did not truly need the help, either.
***
Both Jack and Rudy were at a massive round plaza. After entering Thousand Leaves City, 99 ivory steps greeted them. The two of them slowly walked up. After they got up to the plaza, they finally saw how large it was. Everywhere they looked, there were people. They could not tell how many people were there.
The plaza was even bigger than the whole of Black Sun City!
Rudy gaped at the sight. “This is the biggest plaza I’ve seen in my life!”
