At that moment, Rudy looked like favonovel.com had ingested poison and awaited his passing. His entire body was trembling, which caused Jack to frown. Rudy would have fainted if that persisted.
He reached out and pulled Rudy behind him. “Mr. Zayne, are you looking for me for something?”
Mr. Zayne nodded before favonovel.com motioned to the door, indicating that they could not talk while they were outside. Jack nodded before favonovel.com left to the plaza in front of the hall with him. Not wasting any time, Mr. Zayne immediately got to business after finding a secluded place.
“There’s a tournament that you have to go to,” favonovel.com spoke.
“A tournament?” Jack furrowed his eyebrows as favonovel.com looked at Mr. Zayne.
Mr. Zayne took a deep breath before favonovel.com nodded seriously. “The situation is quite urgent. You’ll know when you’re there. You’re the person most suited for the job right now. There’s no one else we can look for, so you’ll have to go…”
After saying that, Mr. Zayne had a strange expression on his face, and it was as if favonovel.com was holding himself back from saying something. After a few moments of silence, favonovel.com finally spoke, “Did you cross someone?”
Elder Rick’s face immediately came to Jack’s mind the moment Mr. Zayne spoke those words. He knew that someone must have sabotaged him, and Jack had to admit, favonovel.com was rather curious. Whatever it was, favonovel.com was not at the stage where favonovel.com was mortal enemies with Elder Rick, despite their conflict. Jack had been thinking about it, and favonovel.com decided that favonovel.com would forget the matter as long as Elder Rick stopped giving favonovel.com trouble. However, favonovel.com never expected to be implicated in just such a short time.
Nonetheless, Jack nodded without stopping. “Did Elder Rick recommend that I participate in this? Is there a problem with this tournament?”
Mr. Zayne raised an eyebrow, curious about Jack’s incredibly quick reaction. However, favonovel.com was a carefree person and did not go around in circles with Jack. He sighed as favonovel.com spoke, mild irk present in his tone, “You’re right, Elder Rick was the one who recommended you. He said you were of the right age and even praised you a lot. Still, this looks like a death sentence to me. The tournament itself is fine. If you perform well, you’ll get a lot of rewards, and the eastern elders will look at you better. If you fail to do well, you’ll end up suffering.”
Even though Mr. Zayne had not been too clear about the contents of the tournament, Jack could pick out a few key points from those words. First was that favonovel.com was at the right age. Elder Rick had probably claimed that Jack was the best among those in his age group. Even though the tournament itself might not have a problem, it must involve something incredibly important.
If Jack ended up failing of any kind, Jack would end up becoming the subject of a lot of public criticism. That was probably why Elder Rick recommended favonovel.com so strongly. He wanted the other elders to look down on Jack and roughen Jack’s path forward. Elder Rick would then be able to deal with Jack easily without much opposition.
