The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2730

At that moment, Elder Rick, Elder Eliot, and Elder Baggins were at a corner of the hall. None would be able to hear them, so long as they kept their voices down.

Rick's lips twisted to a small frown as he stared at Elder Eliot unpleasantly.

Elder Eliot had never been one to twist his words.

Thus, rubbing his chin, he began, "Why are you using an important official matter for revenge? You recommended Fane. Don't you know how important this tournament is? We have to send our people into the Whirling World. If we lose out on a portion of the rights, do you know how much it'll impact Phoenix Valley? If we, Phoenix Valley, lose to Sky Peak Pavilion, it'll hurt our reputation a great deal! You're crossing the line here!"

Elder Eliot wanted to call Rick despicable and shameless, betraying his own clan, but he swallowed these harsh words. After all, he did not want to make a complete enemy out of Rick.

Alas, Elder Rick had been triggered.

Elder Baggins signed helplessly. He knew that Elder Eliot would make grating remarks, being the ever-so-honest person he always was.

Rick smiled coldly. "You're quite hasty, Elder Eliot.

Why would you think I'm trying to use official matters for vengeance? Isn't Fane the best choice?

"With the age restrictions and the fact that we can't use the inner valley's alchemists, we need to choose the best candidate from the outer valley. I felt like he was the most suitable person, so I recommended him. Taking revenge using official matters is just baseless speculation from you."

Elder Eliot saw red at this accusation. "You're still trying to twist things around! There's no one else here. Elder Baggins and I clearly saw what happened between you and Fane. Who wouldn't know of your petty thoughts? If we lose this time, you won't be able to get out of it unscathed!"

Rick snorted coldly, saying nonchalantly, "Don't worry. We definitely won't lose this time.

Furthermore, all this 'revenge against Fane' talk is all in your mind. I bear no hatred toward him, and despite the small conflict we've had, I never took it to heart."
