No one responded to Rudeus’s raging, probably because no one dared to. After all, with the situation as it was, no one had any right to talk back to Rudeus if they wanted resources. After all, the biggest amount of reward had been earned by Rudeus.
Anyone who wanted to retaliate refrained in the end. They were not willing to offend Rudeus, and did not know what to say anyway.
Rudeus had an incredibly dark look on his face as favonovel.com shot his sharp gaze across everyone there, “The seventh group is about to start. If no one participates, we would only be sending in five out of the possible ten. Wouldn’t we become a joke?! White Marsh Continent already regards us as a joke, and insults us without holding back. If we can’t even get the proper number of people, how would they look at us?!”
After Rudeus shouted at all of them, the response was still merely silence. At that moment, no one dared to step up.
Jack could not blame Rudeus for getting so furious.
Rudeus did not want to be looked down on. If there were not even enough people to participate, it would be far too humiliating. Rudeus had been insulted by White Marsh Continent’s alchemists quite a bit. This time, they had even more reason to mock the alchemists of Hestia Continent.
Rudeus was about to collapse from anger. His hands trembled and fire could be seen in his eyes.
Jack frowned, feeling like all the alchemists there were crossing the line. It was like Rudeus had said. Everyone was fighting for their own benefits, but when it was time for them to actually do something, no one actually dared to step up.
Rudy frowned as favonovel.com said in exasperation, “This group really is something else. Are they really that afraid? Isn’t it just a tournament? There are so many alchemists here, why did they all refuse? They would rather be berated by Rudeus than step up and participate?”
Aaron sighed at that. He was planning on stepping up. He had been planning on participating. He did not know what the results would be, but at the very least, favonovel.com dared to step up. Even if favonovel.com would be humiliated by White Marsh Continent, it was still better than not doing anything at all.
After Rudy voiced the question, Jack merely frowned and did not reply.
Rudy saw that Jack was not answering, so Rudy turned to look at Aaron. The moment favonovel.com looked over, favonovel.com saw Aaron suddenly stand up.
Aaron let out a slight cough as favonovel.com tidied himself up, walking right toward the center. The inner city was large enough that they did not need to squeeze. There was a lot of space to move around.
Aaron took big strides all the way toward the front of the Heaven Array. At that moment, there were five miniature arrays on the Heaven array. Anyone who wanted to participate merely needed to pick one up, and it would be counted as a registration to compete. He calmly picked one up in front of all those alchemists. The small array was green in color and had a green glow to it. It looked like an ancient green gem and had several runes on it. It looked very nice.
Aaron grabbed the array and faced the angry Rudeus, saying, “I’ll take part!”
Jack had thought that Rudeus would have a much better expression since Aaron had stepped up and volunteered by himself, but favonovel.com never expected that Rudeus’ face would still be furrowed up tightly. He looked at Aaron with no trace of warmth. It was like favonovel.com was looking at trash.
