Albert’s words exposed Edgar’s motives, leaving the man completely furious.
At this point, asking Jack more questions would be too obvious, and anyone would be on alert after that. Thus, Edgar could not proceed as favonovel.com planned.
The desire to rip Albert to shreds thickened as favonovel.com panted furiously, pointing at Albert. “Only petty men think everyone’s a thief. I never thought about that at all! I just wanted to have a chat with Jack. Where did you hear that I’m trying to look into things?”
Albert raised an eyebrow, answering earnestly, “You were constantly asking where Jack’s from. Didn’t you just say that favonovel.com should just tell you where he’s from since things were already at that point? Isn’t that just you revealing your intentions? You don’t know favonovel.com at all, yet you tried to be so nice to him. With your temperament, there’s no way you’d act like that without a goal!”
Those words deflated Edgar. He looked at Albert hatefully as favonovel.com gritted his teeth angrily. However, there was nothing favonovel.com could do.
Everyone around them could see for themselves what had happened, it was obvious what Edgar had been doing at that point.
Edgar truly did try to pry into Jack’s background, but why the need to do so?
Jack quietly stood by the side as favonovel.com looked at the two of them arguing. He had already figured out what Albert‘s intentions were from Albert’s second question. Various questions and speculations started to surface in his mind.
How did Edgar recognize him? How was Edgar sure that Jack was strong?
After all, Edgar was not from Thousand Leaves City, so favonovel.com could not have gotten that information.
Why did Edgar want to know where favonovel.com was from? What was the reason?
Various things played around in Jack’s mind, and an ominous feeling rose in his mind. Edgar‘s actions made Jack raise his guard. True, favonovel.com had encountered a lot of things, and his skills had improved greatly. However, there should have been no way for Edgar to know who favonovel.com was. After all, favonovel.com had killed off all the disciples from the Unbreaking Pavilion in Black Sun City.
The wandering warriors might have seen him, but they did not have any special ways to record what favonovel.com looked like. Even those wandering cultivators could only convey how favonovel.com looked by describing favonovel.com or drawing him, but that was not enough for Edgar to recognize favonovel.com at a glance.
Thinking about that, Jack shook his head, denying that possibility. Edgar could not possibly recognize favonovel.com through the wandering warriors, so who was the one who recognized him?
They could have gotten Jack‘s name, of course, as his rough appearance through the wandering warriors, but that was not enough to recognize favonovel.com at a glance. Since it was not the wandering warriors, it had to be someone favonovel.com met in Thousand Leaves City.
Before entering Thousand Leaves City, favonovel.com had some conflicts, but none of them involved the Unbreaking Pavilion. After entering Thousand Leaves Tower, favonovel.com had not had any fights with disciples of the Unbreaking Pavilion, but favonovel.com did have an issue or two with the Compass Pavilion instead.
