Chapter 2627


    “We’ve never interfered with his grudges, but he’s been getting out of handtely. He dares to use such an


    important tournament to deal with someone he doesn’t like! It’s practically an abuse of power! He’s gone too far!”


    Mr. Zayne inwardly agreed with Elder Maurice; Elder Rick truly did cross the line this time. After all, this tournament


    practically gambled the benefits Phoenix Valley could have gotten.


    If they did not win the tournament this time, Phoenix Valley would have to pay a greater price to get Sky Peak


    Pavilion’s help!


    With that in mind, Zayne’s expression darkened in his state of exasperation. He was a deacon with a certain level


    of power in Phoenix Valley, but against those elders, he did not really hold any weight.


    He never voiced his opinions so casually when facing the elders, even if he knew he was correct. That


    was why there was nothing he could do other than feel helpless at that moment.


    Elder Maurice struggled to regain hisposure and maintain a normal expression, but the more he


    thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted nothing more than to rush back to Phoenix Valley


    and challenge Elder Rick to a duel to the death.


    Mr. Zayne nced behind him and saw Master Forrest looking at them curiously. After all, they had


    been whispering to each other for a long time.


    Zayne let out a slight cough and said, “Elder… Master Forrest has been staring at us.”


    Elder Maurice pursed his lips helplessly. After taking a deep breath, he finally suppressed the anger in


    his heart as he turned to look at Master Forrest.


    “Some matters in the valley have arisen, so please forgive me, Master Forrest. There’s been more and


    more troublesome matters popping up.”


    Master Forrest raised an eyebrow. Despite his mounting curiosity, Elder Maurice was still someone


    important, and he could not afford to make things too awkward.


    Master Forrest let out augh before he nodded. “You’ll be here for a few days anyway, so a bit of a


    dy is not an issue. You can have your conversation more privately for now.”


    Elder Maurice nodded and walked forward. He waved Jackie and the others over, and they nodded hurriedly. They


    followed closely behind Elder Maurice and arrived at the corner of the hall.


    At that moment, Elder Maurice could no longerpose himself. He reached out and pulled Mr. Zayne toward him


    before hissing with gritted teeth, “I don’t care what Rick is thinking, but if this thing ends up dragging us down, I


    won’t let him off!”


    Elder Maurice was already irate at that moment. He would normally never say something to a deacon, especially


    since Mr. Zayne was not that close to him, but Elder Maurice felt like he would die of frustration if he did not vent


    out his anger.


    Zayne pursed his lips helplessly, knowing how angry Elder Maurice was.


    There was no longer any way for them to change the situation. Jackie was already there, and they could not


    possibly make anyst-minute changes. With that in mind, Zayne’s gaze swiveled to look at Jackie.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
