Chapter 3005
Nash’s expression soured even more. Before that, Rudeus might have ordered him around, but Rudeus had never
used such nasty words. Nash’s skills might not be as good as Rudeus’, but he was not someone Rudeus could just
humiliate and insult as he pleased.
Nash frowned as he 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

albeit a little forced.
A gray-robed man said helplessly, “Jackie 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
Jackie’s. The crowd were even more shocked after they heard that, wondering if they were dreaming.
Rudeus was dealt a heavy blow. After he took a few deep breaths, his lips trembled as he snapped, “Impossible!
Absolutely impossible! He cheated, he must have! How could he get first place? How could he 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 him 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 he could wrap his head
around it one way or another. When he knew that Nash had not gotten first place, but Jackie instead, Rudeus could
not handle it at all. He did not dare to believe it nor could he.
His breathing quickened as he stared right at Jackie and barked, “You must have done something! How could you
have gotten first place? Tell me! How?!”
Jackie furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Rudeus in exasperation. He knew that Rudeus might not be able to
accept the truth, but he never expected Rudeus to end up acting as crazily as Ethan did.
He snorted as he 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.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackie could not be bothered explaining things to Rudeus, nor was he responsible for that. Whether or not
Rudeus believed it had nothing to do with him.
Rudeus gulped as his eyes reddened. He looked like he was about to rush forward and fight Jackie to the death,
but Nash reached out and pulled him back.
Nash could not possibly stand still and watch Rudeus break the laws. If Rudeus truly failed to control his temper
and attacked Jackie, he 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 Jackie if he managed to break free.
