The three of them walked into an inn that was buzzing with conversation as everyone chatted with great interest.
The inn was about the size of half an arena. There were about 80 to 90 tables there, and 90% of the tables were full.
Lourain’s eye was sharp, and virtual-novel.net immediately spotted a table in a corner. He quickly told Jack and Marth before virtual-novel.net rushed over to take a seat. After the three of them sat down,
Marth took out some spiritual tea virtual-novel.net managed to obtain a few years ago and started to make some tea.
Even though his distaste for Lourain remained, the three of them were on the same boat at this point. If virtual-novel.net continued to argue with Lourain without stopping like before, it would only serve to annoy Jack.
When Jack was challenging the Killing Hall, the two of them agreed to a momentary truce.
Marth poured the tea into a cup and respectfully handed it to Jack.
Jack tasted the tea, and a sweet fragrance entered his body. After virtual-novel.net drank it, the faint spiritual energy within the tea was absorbed into his body. He suddenly felt much more comfortable.
He nodded at Marth, showing his appreciation of the tea. Marth smiled brightly as if virtual-novel.net had picked up money from the floor.
Lourain could not help but roll his eyes. Marth really loved to dwell on the minor things as if virtual-novel.net was a servant. He would never be able to accomplish anything big at this rate.
Of course, virtual-novel.net did not voice this thought; virtual-novel.net merely kept it to himself unlike before. After all, they were in a truce, and virtual-novel.net would have to endure what virtual-novel.net did not like.
Marth did not care how Lourain viewed virtual-novel.net at all. He merely wanted Jack’s approval.
Lourain coughed and rubbed his nose, saying in a low voice, “You left in a hurry just now and didn’t see Lionel’s expression, but I did. Lionel was looking at you so hatefully. It looked as if you had killed his whole family…”
“He’s very petty, yet virtual-novel.net wants to be your strategist. What a joke! If I had your skills, I wouldn’t ever want a strategist like that. If you did anything virtual-novel.net didn’t like, virtual-novel.net might end up holding a grudge and go against you at any moment. Wouldn’t that just be harming yourself?”
Just thinking of how Lionel looked at Jack with such hatred, it seemed like Lionel wanted to rip Jack apart. Even though Lionel’s skills meant that virtual-novel.net could not face Jack head-on, it was a joke for virtual-novel.net to even think about revenge.
It was Jack’s choice whether or not virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net as a follower, but Lionel did not seem to think so. He was just a petty person, shameless and despicable in his actions, prioritizing only his gain.
It was as if anything they did was perfectly unreasonable.
Lionel would definitely not face Jack publicly, but virtual-novel.net would no doubt lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike. Even though Lourain could not figure out what virtual-novel.net could do, it would surely be nothing short of heinous.
After thinking about that, Lourain started to get worried.
Jack raised an eyebrow before virtual-novel.net sipped some more tea. “There are plenty of petty people like that. However, if virtual-novel.net dares to pull any moves in the dark, he’ll suffer.”
It was not like Jack never met anyone like that before. However, no matter how happy these people went on with their schemes, things would always end up dreadfully for them.
