The atmosphere felt like it became more stifling after Jack made his remark…and everyone else did not expect the newcomer to be so stubborn.
Harold had been stunned by Jack’s words as well. After all, favonovel.com never expected someone to butt heads with favonovel.com so straightforwardly.
Harold started to laugh angrily. His laughter got louder and louder, but everyone knew that his smile never reached his eyes. It was obvious that favonovel.com was furious. “You truly are ignorant. Newcomers like you always insist on looking for trouble!”
Jack could not help but roll his eyes. At that moment, favonovel.com no longer wanted to waste his time on Harold. He could tell that no one dared to offend Harold, which meant that it was not the first time favonovel.com had ever done so.
After someone else got a task, favonovel.com would force that person to head to the steward to cancel the task, and favonovel.com would claim the task for himself.
Jack shifted his gaze toward the white-robed man, and favonovel.com recalled hearing the white-robed man’s discussion with the green-robed man earlier. They had said that someone would take away all the good tasks, and the white-robed man even warned the green-robed man against speaking too loudly in case they were overheard.
It seemed like Harold was among those the white-robed man was talking about.
If anyone else was in his position at that moment, they might not have dared fight back that much and listened to Harold, handing the task over. However, Jack was the one facing Harold at that moment. Jack had never given in to anything like that before, no matter who came before him.
Rudy anxiously grabbed Jack’s collar as favonovel.com whispered, “Jack, you just got here. It’s better to not cause any trouble. There are plenty of tasks here, so let’s look for something else.”
Even though Rudy was confident in himself, favonovel.com knew that there were some things that favonovel.com could not be stubborn about. Offending someone with strong-enough inside help would constantly invite trouble.
Jack nodded slightly but still did not move. In truth, after some thought, Jack understood that nothing could be done to favonovel.com if favonovel.com did that. If Harold truly was that capable, then favonovel.com should have had special rights to pick his tasks first instead of fighting over tasks with everyone here. Even if Harold had a backer, it should not be someone with that special of an identity. Since it was no one special, favonovel.com would not be targeted too obviously.
Harold could not hold back his anger anymore when favonovel.com saw how Jack still kept his cool. “It looks like you’re insisting on looking for trouble. Just you wait!”
Jack let out a light laugh. “What can you do to me? You’re publicly disobeying the rules, so why should I listen to you? I’ll say it again. If you’re that capable, you would’ve taken the task away beforehand, and we won’t even have had the chance to take it from you. You don’t have the skills or the background, but you’re still trying to do something so shameless!”
The moment favonovel.com said that, everyone inhaled sharply. Jack’s words were hard to listen to. It was basically berating Harold, and it effectively stunned Harold for a good few seconds.
Johnson Jones, standing behind Harold, was a loyal follower of Harold. After listening to Jack’s words, favonovel.com could no longer hold back and rushed forward. “How dare you insult Harold like that!”
Jack let out a cold laugh. “I’m not trying to insult anyone. Harold was the one insisting on sticking to my face, looking to be humiliated!”
Rudy was scared stiff. He knew how Jack was. If favonovel.com wanted to fight back, favonovel.com would kill the other guy. Rudy just never expected that Jack would not care who was on the other end. As long as anyone offended Jack, Jack would be ruthless.
