After all, the winner of the tournament was Phoenix Valley. Even though Elder Rick was the one who recommended Jack, Phoenix Valley suffered no losses.
Even if Elder Turner decided to pursue the matter, Elder Rick could push the responsibility aside by saying favonovel.com just wanted to recommend the best candidate. Nothing could hinder favonovel.com by then, but the same thing could not be said for Jack.
Jack had offended Elder Maurice, and with Jack soiling the group’s results with his performance in the tournament, favonovel.com would be punished. Elder Rick just needed to fan the flames by the side, and Jack would suffer consequences favonovel.com surely could not handle. He could even imagine Jack being chased out of Phoenix Valley.
If Jack was chased out of Phoenix Valley, Rick would have favonovel.com assassinated. No matter how much potential Jack has, favonovel.com was nothing more than a vermin favonovel.com disliked. He was, after all, a person that would rather kill his opponents than forgive them. Jack would not live another day, and favonovel.com would make sure of that.
Elder Rick grinned maliciously at the thoughts and ideas that came swirling in his mind.
Elder Turner carefully read through the merit log and started to frown. It seemed like something had greatly angered him, much to Elder Rick’s glee. It had to be about Jack’s horrible performance. Elder Turner would not give Jack any leeway when assigning the punishments, no doubt!
Thinking about that, Elder Rick looked at Jack again. However, favonovel.com had his head down the whole time, not revealing his expression. It seemed like nothing around Jack had anything to do with favonovel.com at all. He could not help but feel his head thump at Jack’s calm expression.
At that moment, Elder Turner finally spoke, “Not bad! Still, it went much worse than I thought it would. Claude, do you have anything to say?”
Despite Elder Turner’s words sounding polite, Claude’s entire body shuddered. Unlike Jack, favonovel.com had been in Phoenix Valley for a long time, and thus knew of the power Elder Turner held. He also knew that Elder Turner was not someone who forgave any wrongdoings. Anyone who got to his seat would definitely not be simple characters.
Claude’s whole body shuddered as favonovel.com hurriedly knelt on the floor. “Elder Turner, I’ve done my best. I just never expected them to have a trump card to ruin our results!”
Claude’s words caused confusion among the elders around them.
Since they won the tournament, should it not be Claude and Benedict being praised?
Without the two of them leading the progress, how could they have won?
Moreover, why was Elder Turner talking to Claude in such an accusing tone?
Met with everyone‘s bewilderment, Elder Turner said, “I don’t care about how hard you tried. I want you to tell me why you decided to go against Jack during the tournament against Sky Peak Pavilion. You constantly caused trouble for Jack, and you even helped outsiders ridicule him!”
Claude felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown on his head, and favonovel.com could not help but tremble. The consequences would come eventually, but Claude never expected that Elder Turner would ask favonovel.com something so direct in front of so many people.
If the question was purely about the results and favonovel.com dragging the team down, Claude would have something to say, but Elder Turner had highlighted how he, Claude, had purposely made things difficult for Jack. To this, Claude suddenly had no idea what to say.
Only Elder Maurice and the others knew what Elder Turner was talking about. The other elders had their eyes widened in confusion. It was completely different from what they expected.
