"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you had someone backing you, understand?"
Fane frowned. He was really tempted to send a punch over at that moment. He wanted to let that brat know that some things should not be said. However, he remembered the reason he was there, so he swallowed those words.
Fane paused and said, "I haven't even done anything, and you say I'm doing whatever I want?"
Gilbert raised an eyebrow. "Were you planning on getting some tasks? How unfortunate, all the tasks have been claimed. There won’t be any merit points for you. Just go back and wait for next month. There might be tasks for you then."
Fane furrowed his eyebrows, finally understanding why Gilbert was challenging him. Gilbert was trying to tell him that there would be no trouble as long as Fane did not claim any tasks. Gilbert did not want Fane to earn any merit points.
Fane felt like it was such a joke. Did Gilbert deal with all the other students like that as well? He stopped the others from earning merit points so he could earn them all by himself. Then, he would used the points to earn the right to learn the Way of the Pill. Was that not too absurd?
Fane did not think too much about the matter. Gilbert standing in front of him clearly meant Gilbert was not going to let him head over. Thinking about that, he let out a small laug, turned around right away and returned to his room.
That caught Gilbert by surprise as he had not expect Fane to be so obedient. Fane had left so abruptly, not even spending any time talking smack.
Gilbert raised his eyebrows, he wondered if Fane had left to figure out a way to deal with Gilbert. Would Fane just turn around to go claim the tasks the moment Gilbert left?
Thinking about that, Gilbert could not help but let out a cold laugh. He would not give Fane the chance. Gilbert had already said that he would not allow Fane to claim any tasks, so he would absolutely not give Fane any leeway.
