Jack lightly snorted. “How long I can keep it up has nothing to do with you. You should focus on yourself. Are you confident that you can get the grand treasure?”
Jack had not wanted to ask that last part, but virtual-novel.net did not want to dwell on the problem with Nash, so virtual-novel.net changed the topic. In truth, virtual-novel.net was curious as to how confident Nash was.
Nash frowned as his expression stiffened. After a while, virtual-novel.net confidently boasted, “I’m fifty percent confident!”
Everyone immediately got excited at that. Nash was not someone who liked to brag. Since Nash said virtual-novel.net had a 50 percent chance, then virtual-novel.net meant it. In truth, for the alchemists of Hestia, splitting a black treasure might make them happy, but it was still not enough to excite them.
The reason they got excited was that getting a black treasure would let them gloat a little and vent a quarter of their frustration, at least. After all, Ethan had insulted them so much earlier, even telling them to not participate in the later rounds.
He had spoken as if they were completely below notice. Even though they had not fought back at the time, everyone was still angered by it. They were, of course, excited at the fact that they might regain some of their dignity.
Some of them even started to congratulate Nash excitedly, “Since Nash says that there’s a fifty percent chance, it has to be true! Even though Nash is weaker than Rudeus, it’s not like they’re that far different. Since Rudeus managed to get a bronze treasure, it wouldn’t be surprising for you to get a black treasure!”
“That’s right! Even though the leaders of the two continents seem stronger, the others aren’t that special. If the two of them are fighting for the bronze and golden treasures, then the black treasure would be in our hands!”
Nash did not bother listening to those congratulatory words at all. He might have said the truth that virtual-novel.net was 50 percent confident, but virtual-novel.net was not someone who would just accept compliments like that without being 100 percent confident or before the results were out. His gaze was still fixed on Jack.
Despite what Nash had said, Jack did nothing but raise an eyebrow, which irked him.
What did virtual-novel.net mean by his behavior? Did Jack not agree with him?
Nash said in a low voice, “You think I don‘t have a fifty percent chance to get a black treasure?”
Jack thought about it and nodded calmly. “I feel like you do have no chance of getting a black treasure.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, it was like virtual-novel.net had thrown a bomb into the crowd, and they erupted into chaos, insulting Jack.
“Can you use your head a little, you brat? Nash’s alchemy is at the top of Scarlet Pavilion. If virtual-novel.net can’t get a black treasure, no one else will apart from those two!”
“That’s right! Jack, you‘re crossing the line here. You’re practically siding with the enemy at this point!”
Jack barely reacted to these noises. After all, virtual-novel.net had long anticipated their reactions. He looked around and said calmly, “I said what I have said, and it’s up to you if you want to listen. Let’s just all wait for the results, shall we?”
