Thus, Elder Maurice chuckled humorlessly as favonovel.com looked at Bradley. “You can’t beat him, so you say he’s just a blip on the road. You seem to think that all you need to do is get over this, is that right? Can you use your head when you’re saying all that? Jack isn’t just a blip on the road to you; he’s a mountain that you’ll never scale. There’s such a huge gulf in your results, so how could you agree with Master Forrest?”
Master Forrest’s face twisted in rage at Elder Maurice’s words. It had not been easy for favonovel.com to console Bradley, but Maurice just had to come out and ruin everything!
Master Forrest immediately knew what Elder Maurice was up to.
The second match was still underway, and the results were not certain yet. No one knew if a third round would have to be carried out. As long as there was a third round, Bradley would still be Sky Peak Pavilion’s trump card.
If Bradley completely collapsed, then the results of the third round would be obvious.
Master Forrest would not let Elder Maurice get what favonovel.com wanted. He squinted as favonovel.com pulled Bradley behind him, sporting a snide smile. “Stop with your petty schemes. Don’t assume that everyone here is an idiot. The results of the second round aren’t out yet. We don’t know who the victors will be. Even though Jack‘s talents are a little better than Bradley’s right now, what of it? No one knows how they’ll develop in the future. Jack might just be peaking right now and might not improve afterward. Bradley will surely be able to keep on improving and become a real grandmaster!”
Master Forrest was already struggling to keep his composure at that point. He knew his words were not very convincing and were no doubt a bit petty. All thoughts of that flew out of the window, however, as anxiety slowly crept into Master Forrest’s mind.
Sure enough, Elder Maurice got riled up. Master Forrest’s words had crossed the line.
Just as favonovel.com was about to shoot back at Master Forrest, a sound was heard from the first room again. A familiar figure opened the door and walked out confidently.
Jack furrowed his eyebrows as favonovel.com looked at everyone somewhat unpleasantly. He had been immersed in refining pills, but the noise outside had annoyed him. Even though the rooms had sound-canceling effects and favonovel.com could not hear what they were talking about outside, it still affected Jack in the end.
Elder Maurice looked as Jack walked out and saw what Jack had in hand. He let out a pleased smile as favonovel.com said, “Did we disturb you? We apologize. Master Forrest really doesn’t know how to keep his cool and likes to talk so much nonsense. How many pills did you refine?”
Jack nodded at Elder Maurice before favonovel.com raised his right hand, revealing three Three Suns Pills in his palm. Jack passed one over to Master Forrest.
“As per our prior agreement, no matter how many pills I’ve refined, I’ll give the Sky Peak Pavilion one.”
Master Forrest’s expression soured as favonovel.com looked at the Three Suns Pill in Jack’s hand. Even though the Three Suns Pill was more expensive than a regular seventh-grade pill, it meant nothing to him.
Looking at the Three Suns Pill in Jack’s hand, all Master Forrest felt was shame, and it was as if favonovel.com had just been slapped on the face a few times. Unable to stomach the feeling, favonovel.com pushed the Three Suns Pill back with a frown.
“We don’t need your charity,” remarked Master Forrest coldly. “Since we‘ve already agreed to it, the pills are yours. We won’t take a single one. The Three Suns Pill might be pricey, but it’s only a number worth noting for you.”
