“What a joke. Who do you think you are? You’re a measly fighter at the initial stage of the innate level. Do you really think you can surpass the two masters before you and light up the obsidian’s fifth light?
Ambrose and Elder Lee exchanged glances with each other. They were thinking the same thing—that things were about to get even more unpredictable. Beneath the stage, the crowds had picked up their discussion again. The majority of them had the sentiment that Jack was missing some brain cells. How dare favonovel.com so cockily declare that favonovel.com was going to win first place?
“You must be delusional to think you can light up five lights and get the sengen pill. Do you really think you’re a master? If you are, how come I’ve never heard of you before?”
“Yeah! You should come up with something a little more believable than this! You don’t strike me as someone who can light up five lights. You should count yourself lucky if you can even light up the third light for five seconds.”
“I know it doesn’t take much to lie but this is just too much. He’s the biggest idiot I’ve met in my life, Even Morton and Gerald could not light up the fifth light. I will run around the square naked if you get your hands on the sengen pill.”
Morton was laughing too. He was enjoying the whole drama. “You’re either naïve or blind! I’ve used up all my power and only managed to light up the fourth light for nine seconds. Do you really think you’re stronger than me?”
“He’s a total second-class piece of sh*t.” Even Gerald, who usually kept to himself in situations like this, had joined in the fun.
Jack ignored all the noises from the peanut gallery. His gaze remained on Zeph. “I know my own strength. I just want you to know that I know you want the sengen pill for yourself. I overheard Warren mentioning that you will sneak the sengen pill into your pocket at the end of the test. The sengen pill is useless to you of course but it’s not really for you, is It? It’s for that lover of yours.”
His words caused another ruckus in the crowd. “What is this guy talking about? What lover? Sneak it into my pocket? What nonsense is this?’ thought Zeph.
Ambrose was rendered speechless by Jack’s words as well. What favonovel.com said might sound far-fetched but it could very well be the truth. After all, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. He would not put it past Zeph to come up with a plan like this.
Zeph did not know whether to get angry or laugh at the accusation. “Nonsense! Utter nonsense! I have no lover and have no intention to take the sengen pill as my own. Besides, this sengen pill is already registered in the records. It’s impossible for me to take it,” said Zeph with a smirk.
“Impossible or not, that’s really up to you to say, isn’t it? All I know is Warren said that you can pull some strings to make the sengen pill yours without any fear of retribution from the Dual Sovereign Pavillion.” The way Jack spoke made it seem believable. It was as if favonovel.com was seeing the situation playing out right in front of him. This planted a seed of doubt against Zeph in the crowd’s mind. To them, Zeph was like a celebrity and their favorite entertainment had always been to listen to celebrity gossip. They were secretly wishing for things to get worse but of course, they dared not say it out loud.
