    For others, taking part in thepetition meant that Rudeus might very well humiliate them, and no one wanted to bear that humiliation. Of


    those present, only two of them had gotten treasures while the rest returned empty-handed.


    Every one of them knew how difficult thepetition was, so everyone became cowards. No one was willing to stand up at such a time.


    Jack looked at Rudeus before turning to look at Aaron.


    At that moment, Aaron was conversing with Rudy. The two of them were hidden in the darkness, trying not to interact with anyone else.

    There must have been a few alchemists present that were like Aaron, but thanks to Rudeus’ poorly chosen words, no one was willing to step


    up.


    Rudeus trembled with anger and looked like he was about to copse at any moment.


    Jack did not want to care about anything, but thinking about it, he would need to meet the alchemists


    from White Marsh Continent and Chaos Continent when thepetition started. If they truly could not


    get enough people, they would be theughingstock for everyone else.


    To avoid that, and also because Jack did not want Rudeus to just do as he pleased, Jack said to the


    people around him, “Rudeus might be exceptional, but he’s not the boss of everyone here. We can’t


    just let him pick and choose who can take part just because he wants to. Even if thepetition is


    hard, it’s a good opportunity to challenge yourself. As alchemists, we shouldn’t let go of any chance to


    improve ourselves!”


    What greeted him was silence and gazes of various emotions. Some were exasperated, while some


    were disgusted, but they were all directed at Bane.


    Jack was not fazed, having anticipated these reactions before he even spoke.


    Rudeus, enraged and unable to tolerate Jack’s sudden burst of words, stood up. He was like an


    angered lion, clenching his fists tightly as his true energy circted his body, ready to attack at any


    moment.


    Nash Skye, who was also from the Scarlet Pavilion, reached out and grabbed Rudeus by his arm. He


    was afraid that Rudeus would not be able to control his temper and attack Jack.


    After all, Prosper City had itsws, and the moment Rudeus broke thosews, he would be punished. It was a punishment no alchemists


    could withstand, and he would be turned to ashes.


    “Don’t fall for it, Rudeus!” warned Nash anxiously. “This guy is trying to anger you and make you attack. You’ll be punished by Prosper City if


    you do!”


    Those words were like a bucket of cold water on Rudeus’ face. He suddenly calmed down from his anger, realizing that he had been acting


    too recklessly. If Nash had not been there to hold him back, he might have attacked Jack. After all, Jack’s words had been even worse than


    adding oil to the fire for Rudeus.


    Rudeus took a few deep breaths before he quelled the anger in his heart. At that moment, however, Rudeus’ hatred toward Jack became


    concentrated.


    Nash looked over and scoffed. “Don’t think that you can challenge us as you please, you brat!”
