Emilio took a deep breath as favonovel.com paled slightly, “So you were actually very confident. That’s why you made the bet against Ethan. That was why you looked down on all of us…”
Jack raised an eyebrow and merely let out a faint smile.
After everyone heard Emilio’s words, they let out looks of realization. No wonder Jack’s actions had been so hard to understand. Insulting Ethan and betting against Ethan. No matter what anyone else said, Jack had been unfazed. At that moment, everyone had been wondering if Jack had some sort of goal in mind. It was then they realized that Jack had not regarded them as anything at all. Jack had just been incredibly confident.
Jack frowned, saying in exasperation, ”I already made things very clear earlier, it’s just that none of you wanted to listen. You thought I was spewing nonsense. There’s nothing I could do about that.”
It was then did everyone realize that Jack had definitely said that favonovel.com would not have done the bet if favonovel.com did not have the skills. At the time, no one believed in him. They even thought that favonovel.com must have been crazy to say that. Now, they know that favonovel.com was not crazy, it was them who was being ignorant.
Emilio’s lips twitched as his expression soured. At that moment, favonovel.com did not know what to say. He felt like favonovel.com was a complete clown in front of Jack.
He took a deep breath as his lips twitched slightly, “I’m such a joke…”
When it was announced that favonovel.com got third place, Emilio was actually full of disbelief. He had felt that, even if favonovel.com could not get the golden treasure, favonovel.com was not that bad to only get a black treasure. Now it seemed like favonovel.com was not just bad in terms of skill, but in terms of evaluating others as well.
Emilio sighed as favonovel.com composed himself. He turned around as favonovel.com returned to his original spot somewhat despondently. If favonovel.com had lost, then favonovel.com could only accept the results as it is. He was not as much of a sore loser compared to Ethan. No matter what, favonovel.com still managed to obtain a treasure. Even if it was just a black treasure, favonovel.com would at least have something to bring back with him. Furthermore, things happened unexpectedly this time, so favonovel.com would be able to explain things if the higher-ups asked.
Jack raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling like there was a gaze on him. He then looked up to see Nash looking at favonovel.com with a complicated expression.
He was actually in a similar state as Ethan. His lips twitched and the muscles on his face were stiff. He was filled with disbelief, frustration, and anger. Nash had never expected that things would end up like that.
Jack had gotten a golden treasure, while favonovel.com had gotten nothing. Compared to Jack, favonovel.com was nothing. He had actually been the one to suffer a complete loss. There was no way Nash could accept that.
Nash took a deep breath as favonovel.com asked with a trembling voice, “You were always just pretending. Who are you? And… Why..?”
Nash suddenly stopped as favonovel.com said that. He still had a load of questions to ask, but his reason told favonovel.com that the situation would go out of control if favonovel.com asked the questions out loud.
The alchemists from the other worlds were still staring right at their direction. Even if favonovel.com hated Jack, favonovel.com could not deny Jack’s value. Just with Jack’s skills, Scarlet Pavilion would happily accept Jack. If Scarlet Pavilion‘s higher-ups really did so, then favonovel.com would be in a difficult spot. So favonovel.com forced down the anger and doubt in his heart as favonovel.com stared at Jack.
Jack raised an eyebrow as favonovel.com said calmly, “I’m just more talented than all of you. There’s nothing else to it.”
