If Taios had not been distracted at that moment and had remembered the image plate clearly, he would not have
failed to recognize Jack's attack.
If he had recognized Jack, he would have definitely fled no matter what Jack had said.
Jack was a warrior that stood at the peak. Even if there were six of them, they would still be no match for him, let
alone with just three of them.
He still remembered how his fellow disciple had assured him that Jack was even ranked highly among the warriors
at the peak. Even regular warriors at that level were no match for him.
His fellow disciple had told him to watch his words and make sure never to get on Jack's bad side. At the time, he
never bothered listening to those words at all. He felt like his fellow disciple's words were quite amusing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTaios and Jack were completely different people.
How could he ever be rude to a warrior at that level?
Was he suicidal?
Yet, fate was cruel. Something that he thought was impossible actually happened. Not only was he rude to Jack, but
he also mocked and ridiculed Jack to such an extent. Everything he said just made things worse. The moment he
finished that thought, the pain swallowed up his sanity.
That soul-ripping pain was something he had never felt before. It was so painful that even breathing was difficult.
The three of them collapsed to the ground and were all consumed by pain, just like Cayden had been. They writhed
in pain, completely forgetting about their dignity.
Lourain took a deep breath as he watched everything play out. He could not help but lament that he was actually
the luckiest person there. He had offended Jack before this, but he was lucky enough to get out of it without
suffering this kind of pain.
There was naturally no way Lourain would be sympathetic toward the pain those three were suffering.
If he did not have Jack with him and bumped into the four of them, what awaited him would not be much better
than what they were going through. Furthermore, Cayden had said firmly that he would make sure to torture Jack
to death. It was only natural that he would end up being tortured by Jack.
After five minutes, Lourain collected the Heartblood from the five of them. The Heartblood was worth quite a lot of
spirit crystals. There was naturally no way Lourain would let the chance slip. After all, they were about to do the
same as well.
The two of them continued their journey to the center.
On the way, Lourain said earnestly, "You sure are easygoing! You let Marth go off alone just like that. Aren't you
worried that he'll sell your secrets?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat question had plagued Lourain for a long time.
Marth had decided to move alone back when he was at the inn. Marth felt like the Toman Battlefield was too risky,
and signing up was not worth the risk at all, so he did not plan on following Jack and Lourain.
Marth bid his farewells with an indifferent look, making sure to be very careful with his words. He was worried that
Jack would not let him leave alone. Yet, Jack had been incredibly carefree, not wasting any time before he agreed
to let Marth off.
Lourain was really curious about why Jack agreed to it so readily.
Was Jack not afraid that Marth would sell his information to the warriors from Star Continent for some rewards?
Even though Lourain knew that Marth was incredibly fearful of Jack, that fear was just a feeling, after all. It was
hard to say if Marth would cave when faced with a huge reward.
If Lourain were in Jack's shoes, there was no way he would let Marth move around alone. He could not understand
what Jack was thinking.
