- Chapter 2948 -
Jack’s expression darkened.
It was no wonder that no alchemists were stepping up even though so many alchemists were present. It was actually
because of Rudeus’ high requirements. Average alchemists would have no right to participate.
Aaron seemed to have lost all hope at that moment. He had been humiliated by Rudeus like that in front of so many
alchemists. He did not even have any will to fight back Even if he was incredibly carefree, he still had the urge to slam his
head into a wall.
He felt like he had never been so humiliated in his life. He felt like everything he had done before was just a complete
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjoke. He had a completely hopeless look in his eyes as he quickened his footsteps. He was afraid that he would hear the
mockery around him if he slowed down. However, just as he was hastily walking forward, he suddenly felt his arm being
grabbed. He turned to look and saw Jack grabbing him with a frown on Jack’s face.
Jack let out a sigh and pulled Aaron toward where he had been. After that, Jack pressed at Aaron’s arm, having
Aaron sit back down. They were already sitting in a very secluded area in the first place, so it was easy to avoid
everyone else’s gaze.
Rudy looked at Aaron with some worry. Jack sighed as he patted Aaron on the arm.
He whispered, “You did nothing wrong. You didn’t know they would do that. You just wanted to step up at the right
time and fight for Hestia Continent.”
Rudy hurriedly said, “They really are too much! They’re just a bunch of dogs who look down on others. If you knew
that was how they would act, you would never have wanted to help them!”
Rudy’s anger toward Rudeus was already at its peak. He felt like Rudeus had crossed the line too much. Even if
Aaron was not good enough to participate, there was no need to make things so ugly. Even though Rudy only knew
Aaron for a short time, Rudy already regarded Aaron as a friend. He really liked Aaron’s personality.
Aaron’s eyes were completely red, and his body was still shuddering. He was like a rabbit that had been frightened
and looked incredibly pitiful.
Rudy got even angrier at the sight, “That Rudeus, I was still somewhat sympathetic of him earlier, but I can’t believe
he’s actually like this!”
Aaron sighed with a bitter look on his face and said, “I thought of things too simply. I actually expected that he
would mock me like that. An alchemist at Rudeus’s level wouldn’t regard us as anything worthwhile at all. As long as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe do anything wrong, or do anything that he doesn’t like, he will start to mock us...”
Jack frowned as he looked at Rudeus.
Rudeus still had a sour look on his face as he looked at all the alchemists around him in disdain. He was still feeling
frustrated at the lack of stronger alchemists participating.
Jack sighed as he whispered, “You did nothing wrong. Every alchemist has the right to take part in the tournament. If
there had been any restrictions, they would have been written in the rules. However, Prosper City has no such rules.
Rudeus is just doing things as he please, not considering anyone else.”
Aaron shook his head, somewhat accepting his fate, “I just didn’t think things through. All alchemist like me that was
raised by wandering warriors has no right to represent Hestia Continent in something like this.”
Jack frowned, wanting to console Aaron, but Aaron interrupted him, “Thank you both. I know the two of you are trying to
fight for me, but I’ve already thought things through. I just didn’t know my place earlier.”
