They were not even qualified to be spoken about in the same conversation as Jack. The difference in talent between them and Jack was like an insurmountable gulf, but favonovel.com still could not admit that Jack was far better than Bradley.
Bradley suddenly coughed violently and slumped over as his breaths became uneven. His coughs seemed so startlingly terrible that it looked like favonovel.com could cough out his lungs. Even though Bradley was just at the early stage of the innate realm, favonovel.com was already at the innate realm. His constitution was fundamentally different from that of a regular person. Without being injured, favonovel.com would never get sick.
Since his coughing could not have been caused by sickness, then there was only one other possibility. His emotions had run too wild, and it affected his whole body, causing favonovel.com to cough violently.
Master Forrest looked at Bradley worriedly as favonovel.com held Bradley’s arm while favonovel.com patted Bradley’s back.
Bradley’s breathing got worse as favonovel.com coughed. It looked like favonovel.com was incredibly ill at that moment. Elder Maurice and Mr. Zayne exchanged a look of surprise at that.
They never expected Bradley to be affected so much. Even though Jack’s results were better than his, Bradley’s results were not that bad either. If Jack was not there, favonovel.com would have taken first place. However, the moment Bradley found out that Jack had been 14 hours earlier than him, Bradley looked like favonovel.com was about to die. The reaction startled them both.
Mr. Zayne whispered in exasperation, “This brat is a little too frail. Even though it’s quite a blow, we’re all warriors here. Unless a knife is held to our necks, nothing else matters! To be so emotional just because Jack was better than him…”
Master Forrest nodded at that. Bradley’s actions caused them to look down on favonovel.com with disdain. Even if it was a big, emotional blow, favonovel.com did not have to end up in such a state. Master Forrest looked at Bradley with pity.
He knew how bad Bradley was feeling at that moment, thus favonovel.com helped Bradley up while assuring him, “It’s fine. It’s fine, even if you lose. You don’t have to think too much about it. It’s just a small bump in your road to success. You’ll be fine after it passes.”
Bradley was caught in a coughing fit for a good while before favonovel.com slowly recovered. At that moment, his face was as white as paper, his eyes already bloodshot. Without context, anyone would definitely assume that Bradley contracted some incurable illness.
Bradley’s hands trembled as favonovel.com was seized in his emotional state. At that moment, his mood had hit rock bottom as an untold amount of thoughts raged in his mind.
Master Forrest’s words of consolation echoed in his head… But they failed to convince Bradley. The man had been too emotional earlier, and had not recovered that much.
It took a long time before favonovel.com finally said, “You’re right.”
That was all favonovel.com said, and nothing else.
Meanwhile…
Elder Maurice frowned at their insults at Jack. Initially, favonovel.com did not want to disarray that brat’s emotions even more, so favonovel.com did not stop them. However, the two of them kept on going, referring to Jack as ‘a blip on the road’ and ‘a stepping stone’.
How could Elder Maurice stand it?
