Chapter 139 - Last Minute Breakthrough!
Chapter 139: Last Minute Breakthrough!
Seeing that Thor was seriously angered this time, Hermione and Autumn looked at Jack with a mixture of pity and pleasure in their eyes.
There was a message in their gazes that read “Oh, young man, why did you have to provoke this dragon?”.
But at this moment, when Jack saw the anger in Thor’s eyes, he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
After all, she was just a maidservant of a small noble.
What use were her angry eyes?
Or rather, what else could she do other than be angry?
Suddenly, Jack felt a strange palpitation in his heart.
This strange premonition of danger made him feel a little uneasy.
Jack cautiously unleashed his combat aura.
This was his habit.
This kind of premonition had saved him many times, and this time, he would not let down his guard as well.
However, when he observed his surroundings, he did not find anything that could threaten him.
John and Lisa who were around Jack did not understand why Jack suddenly released his white combat aura.
Was there anyone else around besides them?
Jack observed everything around him.
There was clearly nothing around, so where was this feeling coming from?
Could it be Ron?
Jack glanced sideways at Ron, who had been burned into a coal-like color by Alan.
Even if he managed to stand, what could he do with his tier 5 strength?
Then the only possible danger was… … Could it be these maidservants?
Jack frowned.
Each of these maids was more beautiful than the last, and they were like exquisite porcelain vases.
How could they be a threat?
However, Jack stopped all movement a moment and kept observing the other party.
Although Jack was extremely careful due to his rich experience, John, who was waiting by the side, was already impatient.
“Boss Jack, an angry little maidservant is enough to stop you? That’s too lame, hahaha!”
Of course, John did not know that Jack was feeling a bad premonition in his heart, he just felt that Jack was becoming more and more indecisive.
However, this was also normal. After all, this was how old people were.
Seeing that Jack still did not make a move, John seemed to find it a little boring, so he said, “Jack, I think the maidservant has been scared silly. Let me go get it for you!”
Before he even finished his sentence, John appeared in front of Jack.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
When he passed by Ron who was lying on the ground and was charred black, he shook his head and said emotionally, “Ron, oh dear Ron, you are really stupid. At this point, can’t you see what we are trying to do? Do you really think that we would’ve let this little noble go even after we got the formula from you? You’re too naive! Looks like you didn’t learn anything useful in the kingdom’s Knight Corps. Ah, what a pity.”
Although John said that it was a pity, in reality, his tone and expression did not have any hint of pity, but instead it had a trace of mockery.
He was mocking Ron for thinking that they were going to let the other part go.
Ron was naive! Too naive!
This kind of naivety made John feel disgusted, which was why he hated Ron, and why he had always wanted to attack Ron at any minute.
Ron, who was lying on the ground, heard John’s words, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Being charred black, his emotions became agitated.
Only now did he understand.
It turned out that the promises Alan and the others made before were all fake.
They were lying when they said they would let the other party off.
The only thing real about their words was that they did want him to get the formula for them.
Thinking of this, anger gradually appeared in Ron’s eyes.
And to think that he was acting like a fool.
It was quite possible that his actions just now, in the eyes of Alan and the others, were like a monkey performing in a circus.
It was funny that he had even lost his temper at the maidservants because of this.
It turns out that he was the one who had the wrong idea!
At this moment, the flame of anger was burning in Ron’s heart.
The combat aura in his body was burning again.
He began to release his combat aura without reservation.
Right now, his heart was filled with the flame of anger.
The silver-white tier five combat aura seemed to be changing according to the emotions in Ron’s heart.
The color of the combat aura gradually became whiter and whiter, until it became pure white.
Jack was most familiar with this color.
The color of this combat aura was pure white, a shade only a tier 6 knight would have!
Not only did the pure white combat aura cover Ron’s entire body, it even began to heal his previously charred skin.
This was… A breakthrough!?
Alan was also surprised by Ron’s sudden change.
He looked at Ron in disbelief.
Damn it!
Alan’s heart was extremely twisted and filled with jealousy at this moment.
He had only managed to advance to tier 6 because he had trained hard in the Forest of Magic Beasts and killed monsters with all his might.
And now Ron had actually broken through all of a sudden here?
This was simply unreasonable!
In reality, the first genius of the William Family had never been Alan and John, because the two of them had only started to slowly advance to tier 5 after they graduated in their twenties.
Only Ron had become a tier 5 knight at the age of just a teenager.
If it were not for his mistakes, he would have broken the knight’s graduation record of the Imperial Capital Knight Academy.
He would have graduated as a tier 6 knight.
When that time came, the first heir of the William Family who had been bestowed with the title “the Kingdom’s glory” would all have to stand aside.
In the face of absolute strength and talent, everything would have to give way.
This was also why Alan tried his best to sideline Ron.
Even if it wasn’t for his brother’s matter, he wouldn’t have treated Ron nicely.
From this, it could be seen that Alan did not have a tolerance for people.
It could even be said that he could not tolerate people who were more talented than him.
He was clearly not the best candidate to be the head of a family.
Of course, Alan was not the only one who was most surprised.
There were also John, Lisa, and Jack.
It went without saying for Jack to be surprised. Now that Ron had suddenly become a tier 6 knight, he could already be addressed with the same title as the same as himself.
Not to mention that he was still so young, he was not even twenty years old.
Jack had only reached tier 6 when he was in his forties.
If he offended such a young tier 6 knight, it would be his loss.
As an adult, he could not be like John, who chose to follow whoever was to his liking.
At this moment, Jack actually had the thought of standing on Ron’s side.
While Lisa was surprised, she looked at John worriedly, because John was standing directly in front of Ron.
Facing Ron who had suddenly advanced, his pressure should be the greatest.
It was just like what Lisa had thought.
At this moment, looking at Ron who was covered in pure white combat aura, John’s heart was filled with shock and beating wildly.
He was not expecting that this guy would be able to break through at this time!
Was he stimulated by his unkind words?
On John’s small head, there was a big question mark.
A drop of sweat appeared on John’s forehead.
This was the reaction one would have when facing someone of a higher tier than oneself.
This meant that John’s body was telling him that the current Ron was very strong!
