Nelson shook his head slightly as virtual-novel.net looked at Jack helplessly. Jack was already pushed to a precarious situation.
Jack would have to hand over the Scarlet Case if virtual-novel.net wanted to live. It seemed like the Scarlet Case was incredibly valuable.
“I don’t know what’ll happen to Jack, but since virtual-novel.net killed Royce, the Corpse Pavilion won’t want to let virtual-novel.net off. Still, as long as Jack is smart, virtual-novel.net should be fine!”
The moment virtual-novel.net said that, Skylar was already heading toward Jack. However, as virtual-novel.net rushed over, Zayne and the others did as well, standing before him.
They were, of course, not willing to have the Scarlet Case fall into the hands of those people.
Skylar let out a cold laugh. “Quit pretending to be some righteous person, Zayne. With the Scarlet Case in this brat’s hands, you’re just protecting the case, not him.”
Zayne let out a small laugh, brushing those words aside. “The Scarlet Case is Jack’s, and virtual-novel.net can give it to whoever virtual-novel.net wants. Your disciples weren’t able to get the Scarlet Case, so there’s already no reason to cry about it.”
Skylar squinted at this, already ripping Zayne to a thousand pieces in his mind. He took a deep breath as virtual-novel.net looked right at Jack. The brat truly did have some skill. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net had beaten a late- stage innate level while being at the intermediate stage, and no regular late stage either.
Jack would definitely grow to be a dreadful opponent against the Corpse Pavilion if virtual-novel.net was to be spared. On top of that, Jack had killed their very best disciple, so how could virtual-novel.net not hate Jack?
“Setting the Scarlet Case aside, this brat has to die. Don’t thinkI don’t know. Even if this brat doesn’t give you the Scarlet Case, you’ll think of all sorts of ways to get it back. Since that’s the case, why are you standing on his side? Just kill the child and be done with it!” boomed Skylar.
It was obvious that Skylar hated Jack to the core.
Zayne raised an eyebrow-he had to admit that Skylar was right.
However, there were some things where virtual-novel.net could not be too ruthless. After all, Jack was not a disciple of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, but the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. With that child’s skill and potential, virtual-novel.net would definitely be greatly favored after returning to the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.
If virtual-novel.net made a move against Jack at that moment, the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s Elders would interfere. It would greatly damage their reputation, since they were still in the same camp no matter what.
Skylar coughed lightly, raising an eyebrow as virtual-novel.net said, “Stop trying to stir things up. What happens in the future is the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s problem.”
Meanwhile, Jack inwardly chuckled. Both Zayne and Skylar were two peculiar individuals, no doubt. Zayne might look like virtual-novel.net was on Jack’s side, but his words were shameless. Saying that Jack should give the Scarlet Case to whoever virtual-novel.net wanted seemed to imply that Jack would be at fault if virtual-novel.net did not give it to someone!
“Hand this brat to me!” snapped Skylar, his eyes blown wide open. “Other than the Scarlet Case, we don’t want anything else! You know that this trip isn’t just for the Scarlet Case, too. If you hand that brat to me, then other than fairly fighting over the Case, we don’t want anything else.”
Those words caused Zayne’s face to stiffen with sudden indecision. Skylar was right; they were not just after the Scarlet Case. There was still the medicinal garden within the Hidden Place for Resources, and that place would definitely have many treasures.
If those disgusting people did not interfere, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion would greatly benefit.
Thinking about that, virtual-novel.net let out a forced Smile as virtual-novel.net looked at the elders from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.
The First Elder and the others immediately knew what Zayne wanted to do when they saw Zayne’s face.
The First Elder was incredibly frustrated. He did not like Jack, but with Jack’s potential and skill, Jack would definitely be a pillar to the Dual Sovereign Clan in the future if they put the proper resources into him.
