The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2434

The vice-treasurer raised an eyebrow as he sighed in exasperation. "Don't be too overconfident. I know you're confident in your talents, but know that some of them here are incredibly gifted people.

"Your overconfidence will result in you being unsatisfied, and you'll be locked behind a bunch of doors. When that happens...you'll fall."

The vice-treasurer's words were vague, but all three of them understood. The vice-treasurer knew the tricks and schemes that Gilbert had pulled before, and he wanted to remind Gilbert of that.

If he truly became a student of the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance, Gilbert would have to throw away those petty thoughts of his. Otherwise, these thoughts could pull him down and incur great losses for him.

The vice-treasurer's words came from a position of kindness, but Gilbert saw it in an entirely different angle. To Gilbert, he felt like the vice-treasurer had belittled him after witnessing Fane's talent and skills. He felt like the vice-treasurer was looking at him in disdain.

Gilbert's lips twitched as a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes. He told himself that he would someday prove himself to those who thought too little of him, once he made a name for himself.

He would let them pay the price of trampling him.

Of course, he did not dare voice out his thoughts at that moment.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart. "I understand, Vice-treasurer. It's just that I'm still very confident in my own skills. After all, I successfully formed three hundred pill runes.

"Eight hundred pill runes is the threshold to becoming a sixth-grade alchemist, and I'm already so close to it. I should be able to become a sixth-grade alchemist in just a year."

Gilbert's chin rose as he spoke. In his eyes was a determined expression, as if his words left no room for doubt.
