“I heard that this guy doesn’t have a notable background either. How strange is that? Does virtual-novel.net have something unique that’s backing virtual-novel.net up?”
“Even if virtual-novel.net did, he’d need the talent in the first place. It looks like he’s hiding quite a few secrets. It’s a pity there are so many rules here. Even if I wanted to investigate this, I wouldn’t be able to…”
Jack did not care what the spectators were talking about, but it did not mean that virtual-novel.net did not know either.
It was understandable how virtual-novel.net would invite a lot of interest with all the extraordinary things about him. However, they were in the middle city. Even if they were keen, there was nothing they could do.
They would only get the chance after virtual-novel.net left, but virtual-novel.net was no fool either. He would never give them the chance to do as they wanted.
At that moment, Jack switched his focus on Ethan again. Under his control, Ethan’s pain slowly diminished, but it did not mean that the power that was rotting Ethan’s soul was already depleted. It was just decreasing the speed of the rot.
Slowly, Ethan regained some of his sanity. He opened his eyes and looked at Jack weakly. When virtual-novel.net saw Jack’s face clearly, the hatred in his heart soared. However, virtual-novel.net quickly realized that virtual-novel.net was a goner, and the fear of death filled his body. He did not want to die. He still had a beautiful future ahead of him!
As an incredibly talented alchemist, virtual-novel.net would become an eighth-grade alchemist if virtual-novel.net lived. He even had a shot at becoming a ninth-grade alchemist. If that happened, even the leader of the Pentagram Clan would treat virtual-novel.net respectfully!
No one would dare to look down on him, and many would kneel before him!
These thoughts flashed through his mind as virtual-novel.net lamented his deadly fate. The fear virtual-novel.net felt sent chills down his spine, causing virtual-novel.net to shiver.
Looking at him, Jack laughed and said, “Are you horrified? I’m sure this doesn’t feel good. I’ll be honest with you… Even if you beg me, I won’t grant you mercy…”
That was what Ethan had threatened Jack with before the battle, and Jack merely made virtual-novel.net taste his medicine.
Ethan almost fainted from anger when virtual-novel.net heard that. Fear and anger mixed together, and virtual-novel.net spat out a mouthful of blood. He clutched his chest as virtual-novel.net looked at Jack with a complicated expression.
“Who are you?! Tell me who you are!”
Jack raised an eyebrow, scoffing, “Why are you asking that? Don’t you know who I am?”
“You’re not an alchemist, I know it! You’re not Jack… You’re someone else in disguise! There’s no way Jack is this strong. He’s an alchemist, but you’re not!” Ethan spat out even more blood as virtual-novel.net shuddered and spoke, clutching his chest.
Jack was speechless. Ethan would rather claim that virtual-novel.net was someone else in disguise than admit that virtual-novel.net was better!
Jack raised an eyebrow and said, “Are you unable to accept that I’m better than you at everything? That’s the truth. I’m better than you in every way…”
“Didn’t you laugh at me and think that I was just giving up my life when I started the death match with you? All this while, you were the clown impatiently jumping to his demise!”
Jack’s words pierced through Ethan’s thoughts.
Ethan’s eyes widened completely as the color drained from his face. He looked like virtual-novel.net was a ghost that just crawled out of hell.
