Chapter 2996


    Emilio took a deep breath as he paled slightly, “So you were actually very confident.  That’s why you made the bet against


    Ethan. That was why you looked down on all of  us…”


    Jackie raised an eyebrow and merely let out a faint smile.


    After everyone heard Emilio’s words, they let out looks of realization. No wonder  Jackie’s actions had been so hard to


    understand. Insulting Ethan and betting against  Ethan. No matter what anyone else said, Jackie had been unfazed. At that


    moment,  everyone had been wondering if Jackie had some sort of goal in mind. It was then they  realized that Jackie had not


    regarded them as anything at all. Jackie had just been  incredibly confident.

    Jackie frowned, saying in exasperation, “I already made things very clear earlier, it’s just  that none of you wanted to listen. You


    thought I was spewing nonsense. There’s nothing  I could do about that.”


    It was then did everyone realize that Jackie had definitely said that he would not have  done the bet if


    he did not have the skills. At the time, no one believed in him. They even  thought that he must have


    been crazy to say that. Now, they know that he was not  crazy, it was them who was being ignorant.


    Emilio’s lips twitched as his expression soured. At that moment, he did not know what to  say. He felt


    like he was aplete clown in front of Jackie.


    He took a deep breath as his lips twitched slightly, “I’m such a joke…”


    When it was announced that he got third ce, Emilio was actually full of disbelief. He  had felt that,


    even if he could not get the golden treasure, he was not that bad to only  get a ck treasure. Now it


    seemed like he was not just bad in terms of skill, but in  terms of evaluating others as well.


    Emilio sighed as heposed himself. He turned around as he returned to his original  spot


    somewhat despondently. If he had lost, then he could only ept the results as it  is. He was not as


    much of a sore loserpared to Ethan. No matter what, he still  managed to obtain a treasure. Even


    if it was just a ck treasure, he would at least  have something to bring back with him. Furthermore,


    things happened unexpectedly  this time, so he would be able to exin things if the higher-ups


    asked.


    Jackie raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling like there was a gaze on him. He then  looked up to


    see Nash looking at him with aplicated expression.


    He was actually in a simr state as Ethan. His lips twitched and the muscles on his  face were stiff.


    He was filled with disbelief, frustration, and anger. Nash had never  expected that things would end


    up like that.


    Jackie had gotten a golden treasure, while he had gotten nothing. Compared to Jackie,  he was nothing. He had actually been


    the one to suffer aplete loss. There was no  way Nash could ept that.


    Nash took a deep breath as he asked with a trembling voice, “You were always just  pretending. Who are you? And…


    Why..?”


    Nash suddenly stopped as he said that. He still had a load of questions to ask, but his  reason told him that the situation would


    go out of control if he asked the questions out  loud.


    The alchemists from the other worlds were still staring right at their direction. Even if he  hated Jackie, he could not deny


    Jackie’s value. Just with Jackie’s skills, Scarlet Pavilion  would happily ept Jackie. If Scarlet Pavilion‘s higher-ups really did


    so, then he would  be in a difficult spot. So he forced down the anger and doubt in his heart as he stared at  Jackie.


    Jackie raised an eyebrow as he said calmly, “I’m just more talented than all of you.  There’s nothing else to it.”
