Chapter 2699
Chapter 2699 He was the one who gave the two of them hope. Claude‘s words were basically denying that hope fromthe two of them.
How could Mr. Zayne and Elder Maurice stomach it?
Even Mr. Zayne could not help but narrow his eyes and say in a low voice, “You’d better watch yourmouth! Just because your results are bad and you didn’t do your best, you’re trying to discredit Jackietoo! If Jackie wasn’t here, we’d have already lost, thanks to your bad results. How dare you questionhim?”novelbin
Claude was already getting desperate at that moment. Jackie’s earlier threats were no longer working.He only had one thought in his mind at that moment which was to rid himself of all the blame.
He took a deep breath and raised his voice a little, “You’re right. If not for Jackie, we‘d have alreadylost! But we can’t just say he’ll do well in the third round just because he did well in the earlier two. I’vesaid it before, he’s an incredibly good alchemist, but this isn’t a test of alchemic skill. So what if he’s atalented alchemist? I don’t know much, but I know something very well. He’s not been in PhoenixValley for a long time and has never gone to Grand Yorn mountain with the guards. He definitelydoesn’t have the necessary basic knowledge! Since he knows nothing and has never been in theworld, how could he possibly get his hands on the Green Phoenix Fruit?!”
“Shut your mouth!” Elder Maurice’s veins were already starting to pop. He had practically shouted atClaude with all his might.
Claude was completely exposing Jackie at that moment. He even mentioned when Jackie enteredPhoenix Valley.
Sky Peak Pavilion’s group could not help but be curious and suspicious at that. They were curiousabout when did Jackie enter Phoenix Valley and suspicious about the fact that he was so good despitenot having been there for that long. After all, no matter how talented one was, one would not be thatstrong without going through systematic growth. However, Jackie’s skills were already far above thefive alchemists.
Even though the other five alchemists were not that amazing other than Bradley, they could still alreadybe considered top alchemists. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen to participate in such animportant tournament. All of them were masters, but they were unable to even put up a fight in front ofJackie.
Claude’s words sparked a sense of curiosity in everyone. Elder Maurice was so furious that he wasabout to walk over and slap Claude a few times.
Even Benedict, who had been grabbing his arm quietly by the side, could not help but look at Claudespeechlessly. Benedict felt like Claude must have gone crazy. Otherwise, he would not have said allthat.
He was practically digging a ditch for himself. He would definitely be punished even more when hegoes back. He was really helping the outsiders.
Yet, Claude did not seem to realize how horrible the things he had said were. He continued to shout,“Was I wrong? He might be strong, but the third round isn’t what he’s good at. He’s never been towhere beasts are found to collect materials. He wouldn’t know the basic knowledge and habits! If hedoesn’t know, how could he get the Green Phoenix Fruit from the phoenix! It’s not like you don’t knowwhat is being tested!”
