THE DEPRESSED YOUNG MASTER LUKE
The truth is, people didn't know about the bet between Arjun and young master Luke. So they didn't understand what exactly the conversation between both of them meant. And this is the reason why they became puzzled.
But whatever it is, they knew that the things between the two people was definitely not in a good terms. They knew that these two people were definitely enemies.
At that time, people looked at young Master Luke as if he was the biggest idiot in the world. Their eyes were filled with full of ridicule and contempt. If someone made enmity with Arjun after seeing all this, then they should be the biggest idiot of the world
But young master Luke was not someone to be blamed about this. He saw the fight between Arjun and the Red Ranked Monster back during the preliminaries. And there is a rumour that Bruce defeated the Vulture King during the preliminaries all by himself which was as strong as the Red Ranked Monster.
Young master Luke saw it with his own eyes just how difficult Arjun felt when he defeated the Red Ranked Monster. That was a really a close fight.
On the other side Bruce defeated the Vulture King which was as strong as the Red Ranked Monster with ease. So disparity between Arjun and Bruce should be very high right?
It's been five and a half years since then. Arjun is definitely stronger than he was today. There is no doubt about it. If he fought the Red Ranked Monster today, then he should not have any trouble while dealing against it.
But wasn't this the same case with Bruce as well? Just like Arjun, he got five and a half years of time to improve his strength. That means he should have trained diligently over this period. That means, by logic, he should be even more powerful than current Arjun.
But why did Arjun became this strong all of the sudden? Greater Dao? Is that the reason for his monstrous improved strength? And he said that even in the ancient generation, less than or around fifty people mastered the Greater Dao.
If only around fifty people mastered the Greater Dao in the ancient days, then by that standard, in the ancient days, these fifty people should be the monstrous geniuses of their generation.
That means, even in the current generation, Arjun is one of those monstrous geniuses who could be ranked within top fifty at least in the entire world?
Young Master Luke didn't know what exactly he should do now. The people around him didn't know what happened. They certainly didn't know any of the things which was running through his mind. And yet they were looking at him as if he was an idiot. How can he explain things to them?
Young Master Luke was depressed. He looked at the Young Master Ivan and Young Master Kenneth with eyes full of envy. How could all the good fortune ended up with his enemies? If he had known things would unfold like this, then he would have not antagonized Jimmy even in the slightest bit.
But it was too late now. His arrogant and impulsive actions will lead to a complete disaster for his clan now. His little brother died. His image was completely shattered. The face of his clan was gone. And now he had to try to find a way to convince all the nobles to calm down despite his lose in the bet.
But this is the matter regarding image of the noble clan. All this time they have put the weak and poor families under the impression that they were nothing but trashes. And all the rich people were the proud children of heaven.
If he had to go and say in front of all the people that all the noble clans were the complete trash, then the reaction from poor people and the rich people will be completely different. The poor people will laugh at him. While the rich people will be angry at him. Whatever the reaction it is, the one who will suffer the most will be him.
But if he knew that his father lost his connection and support from even the Raven Sect, and instead it transformed into that of the enmity, then he might even vomit blood and will have the urge to commit suicide.
He looked at Young Master Ivan and asked, "You people also come under noble family, right? If I say that all the noble families are trash in public, wouldn't it tarnish your public image in the city as well?"
For this question, Young Master Ivan replied, "Since my childhood, I never biased between rich and poor. And my relationship with poor people has always been good. My step father is the City Lord. He always thought me to not show any bias between the rich and poor. Only then I will become a good person."
He continued, "As for you people, I don't know where did you people learned to look down on the poor people. But I had to tell you that I never cared about the mess between rich and poor. So even if you admit it, it will never stain my reputation.
Young Master Luke sighed. He didn't know what kind of medicine Jimmy feed Young Master Ivan. In his view, Young Master Ivan became a tamed dog for Arjun. Whatever it is, he knew that this was the end of his glorious days. And now, he had no choice but to keep quiet like an obedient dog. He really regretted going against Jimmy. He missed the once in a lifetime opportunity. And there is no medicine for regret in this world.
The relation between him and Jimmy had reached beyond repair. It is already a blessing for him that Jimmy didn't ask Arjun to kill him. Or else things would have been very difficult for him.
Arjun didn't speak any further. After ending the conversation with Young Master Luke, he looked towards the video transmission crystal which was fixed by someone on the tree and said, "My Star Moon Team has collected all the passes. All other team had admitted their defeat as well. I think running this competition is meaningless for everyone. Province Lord, I think it's better to let us rot for one more week here and let us outside the forest."
When Arjun said this, everyone remained silent. Be it within the forest or outside the forest, no one spoke. Outside the forest, everyone looked at Miller intending to know what was his thoughts regarding this. They all wanted to know what the Province Lord will do as the judge of the competition.
