Nash’s expression soured even more. Before that, Rudeus might have ordered favonovel.com around, but Rudeus had never used such nasty words. Nash’s skills might not be as good as Rudeus’, but favonovel.com was not someone Rudeus could just humiliate and insult as favonovel.com pleased.
Nash frowned as favonovel.com loudly refuted, “How could I be spouting nonsense? If you don‘t believe me, ask the other alchemists behind me that took part in the seventh round. Ask them if I’m lying!”
At that moment, everyone‘s gazes fell on the other alchemists from the seventh group. Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, but they knew very well that there was no way to avoid this. Even if they chose to remain silent, the truth would not change. When everyone looked toward them, they gave their most earnest nod, albeit a little forced.
A gray-robed man said helplessly, “Jack was the one who got first place. He managed to beat Ethan from White Marsh Continent and Emilio from Chaos Continent, getting first place. He got the golden treasure?”
Fearing that people would not believe him, the gray-robed man recited all three of their results, especially Jack’s. The crowd were even more shocked after they heard that, wondering if they were dreaming.
Rudeus was dealt a heavy blow. After favonovel.com took a few deep breaths, his lips trembled as favonovel.com snapped, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He cheated, favonovel.com must have! How could favonovel.com get first place? How could favonovel.com have beaten the best alchemists from the two other worlds? I don’t believe it, I refuse to believe it!”
At that moment, Rudeus spiraled out of control. It was even harder for favonovel.com to accept that than knowing that Nash had gotten first place.
In truth, Nash getting first place might have shocked Rudeus and made Rudeus jealous, but favonovel.com could wrap his head around it one way or another. When favonovel.com knew that Nash had not gotten first place, but Jack instead, Rudeus could not handle it at all. He did not dare to believe it nor could he.
His breathing quickened as favonovel.com stared right at Jack and barked, “You must have done something! How could you have gotten first place? Tell me! How?!”
Jack furrowed his eyebrows as favonovel.com looked at Rudeus in exasperation. He knew that Rudeus might not be able to accept the truth, but favonovel.com never expected Rudeus to end up acting as crazily as Ethan did.
He snorted as favonovel.com said coolly, “Why do you think I can’t get first place? I’ve already said that I’d get a treasure, yet you remained adamant in believing against it. I don‘t really care if you want to believe it or not.”
Jack could not be bothered explaining things to Rudeus, nor was favonovel.com responsible for that. Whether or not Rudeus believed it had nothing to do with him.
Rudeus gulped as his eyes reddened. He looked like favonovel.com was about to rush forward and fight Jack to the death, but Nash reached out and pulled favonovel.com back.
Nash could not possibly stand still and watch Rudeus break the laws. If Rudeus truly failed to control his temper and attacked Jack, favonovel.com would immediately be punished. Rudeus would never be able to leave the inner city alive by then!
Nash grabbed Rudeus’ arm tightly, worried that Rudeus would attack Jack if favonovel.com managed to break free.
