Having come from a prominent family, Gao Jiang's perspective was clearly different from average folk.
What he saw wasn't just the incident of Lin Jin being promoted to Rank 3, but the fact that it was a personal order from Jade Dragon Kingdom's emperor.
What did that mean?
In Gao Jiang's mind, Lin Jin had obviously gained the support of His Majesty.
Right. Hadn't Lin Jin headed to the royal capital a while back?
No one had known what he was there for but Gao Jiang knew now.
Thus, the sense of superiority and anticipation that Gao Jiang worked so hard to nurture was extinguished and destroyed like a tiny ember in a storm.
Drenching him cold, inside and out.
He had no chance.
He had no chance of ever surpassing Lin Jin.
