Those words served as a reminder to everyone present, and also managed to quiet down everyone that was there. Then they remembered the bet Harold had with Jack.
If Jack managed to get into the top fifty, Harold would have to give Jack five thousand spirit crystals. When the two of them placed that bet, no one believed in Jack. They had thought that Jack was a mindless idiot. Now it looked like Jack was merely confident in his own skills. Since favonovel.com had those skills, it was natural for favonovel.com to place that bet.
Harold’s face suddenly paled, and his expression started to sink. He looked at Jack with a complicated expression.
When Jack saw that Harold was not reacting, favonovel.com raised his voice, “Are you planning on not paying up? Are you trying to void the bet? It looks like we really should have made a soul contract just now, then you wouldn’t be able to regret things.”
Jack’s words were a slap to Harold’s face. Harold’s body shook in anger as favonovel.com straightened his back, “Who said I wasn’t going to pay up? It’s only five thousand spirit crystals. It’s nothing to me!”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com furiously retrieved five thousand spirit crystals from his storage and gave them to Jack.
Jack raised an eyebrow as favonovel.com calmly stored those spirit crystals into Mustard Seed.
Elder Eliot nodded as favonovel.com said, “If you’re willing to place the bet, then you should be willing to accept your loss. That’s the way of a true man.”
Harold felt incredibly embarrassed and wanted nothing more than to smash his head into a pillar.
Johnson hurriedly grabbed Harold’s arm as favonovel.com whispered, “Let’s go. Since the results are already out, there’s no reason to stay here. We still have to attend classes tomorrow.”
Harold sighed as favonovel.com rubbed his chin, trying his best to suppress his complicated feelings. After that, favonovel.com bowed to Elder Eliot and said favonovel.com was not feeling well and wanted to be excused to head back to rest.
Elder Eliot did not make things too difficult for favonovel.com and merely waved Harold off. After Harold left, everyone else started to leave as well.
Jack did not want to stay in the crowd either. After making sure that the reward would be sent to their courtyard, Jack immediately left the Elder Hall.
The moment favonovel.com returned, favonovel.com arranged for Lou to collect his rewards. On the way back, Rudy had been quite depressed, Rudy merely followed behind Jack with his head hung low. Jack did not say anything. He had merely helped Rudy a little earlier as a casual. gesture. After all, Jack was not all that close to Rudy.
When favonovel.com was about to enter his own room, Rudy suddenly shouted at Jack, “Thank you for your help today, Jack.”
Jack raised an eyebrow. He had thought that Rudy would not express any gratitude to him. After all, Rudy was usually so prideful, but favonovel.com suddenly turned humble. Jack nodded without turning around, it was not a big gesture to him. The only thing favonovel.com wanted to do at that moment was to hurry back into his room.
Once Lou came back with the rewards, favonovel.com would start refining the Green Sun Pill.
Just as Jack opened his door, Rudy once again shouted out, “Jack, I didn’t plan on telling you this before, but after thinking about it, I feel like I have to.”
Rudy’s tone was very strange. There was a hint of anxiety in his sombreness. Jack frowned as favonovel.com turned to look at Rudy who still looked as depressed as favonovel.com was before. He then furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”
