Another buzz went around the crowd.

Did she even know what she was talking about?

Jack and Colin had just engaged in an intense duel, and Jack was defeated easily due to an old injury that he had yet to recover from. Everyone had seen how Jack had suffered blows time and time again. Even if he wouldn't die, he was still seriously injured.

"Oh, no!"

Jack suddenly let out a groan before spitting out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't take it anymore.

Betsey's face went pale as a sheet.

She was also a warrior.

She had been practicing for years, so she could tell at a glance, that Jack was indeed badly hurt!

Jack was obviously hurt seriously Even any common people would know that it was the case.

Some people initially resented the way Colin won against Jack, thinking it was kind of despicable.

When they Learned that Jack was pretty much done for, these people fell into silence.

They no longer felt aggrieved, but instead, they were filled with fear and supplication.

Those who had been supporting Jack in the start, began to take some actions subconsciously

They either inched away from Jack, or began to silently flatter Colin with their eyes. In the end, people would tend to support the stronger one for their own interests. Hence, most of them walked toward Colin and now stood by him.

In just a few minutes, things had changed dramatically.

Originally, many people were there to support Jack.

But now, only Maria, Anthony, and the girl named Betsey were the ones remaining on his side.

"B... Boss? And Miss Jenkins... Why are you here?”

Jack opened his eyes and was a bit surprised to see Maria and Anthony there. For a moment, it was as if he had forgotten his injuries. He asked in confusion and embarrassment .

His voice was Low and intermittent as if his body might give in at any time.

“You haven't fully recovered from your old injuries yet. Why did you try to fight with others?"

Maria said as she searched for something in her pocket with her hand. Looking at the blood on her collar, Jack didn't answer the question but apologized directly, "Miss Jenkins... I am sorry. I had soiled your clothes."

Upon hearing this conversation, tears welled up in Betsey's eyes.

Jack was badly injured and should be in a lot of pain. This definitely wasn't the time to apologize to Maria for ruining her shirt!
