Chapter 2630
Elder Maurice was already infuriated by Elder Rick for meddling in his affairs. He was already planning on fighting
back against Elder Rick, hence why he could boldly applaud Jackie’s words.
Jackie had earned an ample amount of Elder Maurice’s favor.
Elder Maurice looked up slightly. “Even though I think you’re right, you still need the right to say those words. If
your pride is just an empty tin can, your words are all meaningless without the power to back up your claims.”
Elder Maurice put his hand on Jackie’s shoulder as he added, albeit with a relatively firm voice, “If you do well this
time, I’ll make sure to support you. If you don’t do well, you won’t just have made an enemy of Elder Rick, but me
as well.”
Elder Maurice’s words placed an invisible pressure against Jackie. Additionally, his words also sparked interesting
expressions from the rest of their companions.
Claude felt like Jackie had gone overboard with bragging this time, and he might have just rocked a boat he should
not have. Jackie could not possibly do well, so Jackie would ultimately disappoint Elder Maurice in the end.
Moreover, Jackie had carried himself so haughtily before, acting like Elder Rick did not faze him.
With that in mind, he could not help but let out a cold laugh. Claude narrowed his eyes and looked atJackie as if he was looking at an idiot.
Not only did Jackie’s self-righteous words fail to get him out of his predicament, but they merelyensnared him into a deeper pit. If he did not produce any results, Elder Maurice would never forgiveJackie.
Claude and Benedict exchanged glances; it was obvious how happy the both of them
were.
Jackie nodded. “I’ll say the same thing as I’ve said. If I can’t do it, I wouldn’t have come.”
Elder Maurice patted Jackie lightly on the arm. “Good! Very good! Remember what you said. Don’t endup shooting yourself in the foot!”
After saying that, Elder Maurice no longer wasted any more time, turning and walking back toward thecenter of the hall.
All this while, Master Forrest looked like he had returned to his seat and was enjoying his tea, but hisgaze had always been on Elder Maurice and the others.
After he saw Elder Maurice bringing the other four back, Master Forrest immediately put down the cupin his hand as he put a smile on his face, standing up to greet them.
At that moment, Elder Maurice had already
composed himself. He looked at the people from Sky Peak Pavilion and extended his hand forward tointroduce those from Phoenix Valley.
There was nothing too special about Claude and Benedict, since both of them had seventh-grade alchemist
badges on their chest. When it came to Jackie, however, a few of them suddenly had a meaningful look in their
eyes.
In truth, they had already noticed Jackie before. After the introductions, their curiosity deepened. After all, other
than Jackie, everyone else participating in the tournament was a seventh-grade alchemist.
Sky Peak Pavilion was a far cry from Phoenix Valley, and Phoenix Valley was a major camp of the Middle Province
Alchemist Alliance.
Phoenix Valley had produced countless talented alchemists, but they had actually
sent a sixth-grade alchemist, which greatly shocked everyone.
Feeling everyone’s gazes, Elder Maurice’s anger was triggered once more, but this time, it was aimed at Elder
Rick.
Jackie was at the right age, sure, but he was just a sixth-grade alchemist. Phoenix Valley had so many alchemists,novelbin
and it should not have been hard for them to choose three alchemists who were suitable!
