After both Harold and Johnson were dragged away, Elder Baggin looked at Jack with a genial expression. He saw and admitted to himself how memorable of a person Jack was, favonovel.com was no doubt impressive in every aspect.
Elder Baggin had wanted to say a few more words but stopped himself after thinking about it. After all, they had just sentenced people to a crime. He coughed lightly before addressing Jack, “You can head back for now. The matter has already been investigated. As for what punishment Harold and Johnson will get… You don’t have to worry about it, they’ll get what they deserve. I’ll have the punishment we decide on passed on to you via your runner disciple. You can go back now.”
Jack nodded, not adding anything else to the conversation as favonovel.com left the Elder Hall with Rudy in tow. The two of them went very quickly but slowed down in the middle, mainly because Rudy felt erratic. Jack, on the other hand, was rather calm and maintained a very casual expression the whole time.
“That shameless Elder Rick. He actually tried to pin the blame on us!” hissed Rudy. “When I heard his nonsense, I nearly rushed forward and fought him!”
Jack looked at Rudy, a small crack in his expression as favonovel.com seemed mildly irked. “I need to advise you on something. You should always think things through thoroughly before doing anything in the future. You should calm yourself and think of what the consequences of your impulsiveness would be. If you had rushed forward and picked a fight at that moment, they would’ve used that as an excuse to lock you up forever. Things wouldn’t end up well at all.”
Jack could not help the frown from forming on his face at the thought of how Rudy could have cussed and shouted back there. With that, favonovel.com grabbed Rudy’s arm and stopped the guy in his tracks.
“You’re not allowed to be so impulsive in the future. You doing that does nothing other than give me more trouble!”
Rudy’s face froze in guilt upon hearing this. He knew that Jack was right. If favonovel.com had been just a bit more reckless back then, favonovel.com would have brought trouble to Jack too. However, Rudy felt like favonovel.com had already done his best in controlling himself, and Elder Rick had gone too far. Just thinking about Elder Rick filled Rudy with anger, but in the end, Rudy merely sighed in worry.
“I think that Elder Rick will have a grudge against us from now on. Will favonovel.com try to do anything to us?”
Jack nodded and said without any hesitation, “That’s to be anticipated.”
Rudy got nervous the moment favonovel.com heard that. “Well, what should we do? Are we supposed to just wait for favonovel.com to try and pull something against us? Won’t we end up at a huge disadvantage?”
Jack raised an eyebrow and said, “You don’t have to worry about that. Even if favonovel.com wanted to, he’d only be looking to cause me trouble. What of it, then? If favonovel.com dares to do that to me, I guarantee you favonovel.com won’t have a good time.”
Rudy nodded, trusting in Jack’s abilities. As long as Jack can scale the ranks, Elder Rick would not be able to do anything to Jack.
Rudy sighed. “What kind of punishment do you think they’ll be given? Will they just be expelled?”
Jack shook his head, thinking of Elder Baggin’s expression. Jack felt like the punishment would definitely not be light, and merely being expelled was far too lenient.
