novelxo Chapter 3634
"How could he be their subordinate?" someone shot back. "Use your brain a little here. What kind of dog looks prouder than its owner? Ever since we saw this guy, he's never even glanced at Case. Do you think a subordinate would dare to do that?" After that person said so, quite a few people nodded in agreement. The masked man never said anything the whole time as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.
That calm demeanor was not something a subordinate would have. Since he was not a subordinate, who was he? The Swelling Tide Continent's impression of the other warriors was too deep. They would always stick together and would rarely interact with other warriors. The moment they interacted with any outsiders, conflicts would somehow arise. Could that person be an enemy of the Swelling Tide Continent? That thought played in the minds of a few people, and all of them slowly felt like these men did seem to be at odds. Even the red-haired man was no longer interested in talking to the round-faced man. He walked to the middle of the crowd, looking at Fane and the others. A total of 16 of them had registered, and 15 of them were from the Swelling Tide Continent and had notable prowess. Only Fane was from the third-grade world, Hestia.
Fane did not seem to care about the situation at all. It was as if the 15 warriors were not a threat to him. The more Fane acted like that, the more frustrated Case felt.
Fane was just too good at acting. Even if it was one of the warriors who were at the peak, they would still think about it before facing 15 other warriors. After all, even with the special nature of the fog battlefield, they were no idiots.
They naturally figured out a lot of plans to deal with their opponent. Anyone with just a hint of intelligence would know that. Fane did not seem to be someone with an empty head, so Case felt like Fane knew this. Yet, Fane insisted on putting up an act until the end.
Case gritted his teeth, loathing how irksome Fane was. Who did he think he was? Did he think his facade would fool others just because he looked unbothered?
When Fane had agreed to go to the fog battlefield with all of them, Case felt like there was something wrong with him. He refused to believe Fane was under no pressure at all even when faced with 15 of them.
However, Fane was not just good
and pretending, but putting on a show as well. He clearly saw a look of excitement on Fane's face earlier. Facing 15 opponents, he was still able to look excited. How could that not just be an act? Even at that moment, that expression remained plastered on his face.
Even those that were around them could not see any flaws in the act. They were even wondering if Fane was a part of the Swelling Tide
Continent's group, which could
explain his calm demeanor.
Case scoffed as anger surfaced in his eyes.
He suddenly said loudly, "Is it really worth dying for your honor and dignity?"
He had held back those words for a long time, worried that Fane would somehow regret his decision. However it was all already set. Since Fane had signed up, Fane would not be able to flee. There was nothing for Case to worry about anymore.
