Fane's lips quirked, not even bothering to spare those people a glance as he said, "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to order others with that tone?"The moment Fane said that, everyone around him hissed. A few of them turned to look at that masked man. He really was being quite confrontational, more so than the black-robed man. He spoke as if the warriors from Star Continent were not worth anything at all.Rowan was stunned by what the two of them said. He could not believe his ears at all. What did that guy just say? Did he just challenge their identity? How dare he?!That stung even more than if Fane slapped them!Rowan clenched his fists angrily. "You'll die for that, you brat!"Fane's words were scathing toward the Star Continent. A few people wondered if they were hallucinating when Fane said that. They could not believe that someone was bold enough to say something so arrogant.He was not just mocking one person but the whole continent! Even those warrior
Fane heard similar threats a few times a day, so he was numb to it all. The warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent had sworn to make him suffer as well, but all of them were dead!"Is this guy crazy, or is he faking it? Doesn't he know he's practically committing suicide right now? The Star Continent has always been very particular about its honor. Anyone who offends a warrior that has a significant position from their Continent will be targeted by them."So many have given up on their goals and left the city they were in for somewhere else. This is common knowledge, so this guy must've known this. Why is he still doing this, then? Is he just bored of living?""Who knows?! He's just crazy. I feel good, though. All of these warriors from the Star Continent act however they please. They act like they can do whatever they want, from cutting the queue to stealing our seats."They think that we'll listen to everything they say, and that no one will ever go against them. I know you're
Nonetheless, Marth and Lourain could not help but look at Fane. They knew how strong he was but could not understand his arrogant ways. The Star Continent did not consist of just one or two warriors—there were lots!Fane was more than strong enough to deal with five or six of them, but if too many of them went for Fane, it could turn out fatal. Did Fane not care? Did they just not understand the actions of those that were powerful? Marth took a deep breath as he glanced at Lourain.Even though he hated Lourain, Lourain was the only one he could talk to at that moment. After all, no one else knew of what happened between the three of them.Marth lowered his voice and whispered, "Does Fane not care about offending the Star Continent? I feel like even the likes of Seymour Flint wouldn't dare say something like this. It's trampling all over Star Continent's dignity. His words are a declaration of war on them."The warriors from the Star Continent will always trouble Fane. They might no
Fane turned to look at those two and said calmly, "Oh dear, you almost scared me to death!"Are you done now? If you are, hurry and leave. Stop buzzing around like a fly. Let me tell you this: even if you say everything you can, I won't give my space up for you, so leave.""You—!" Rowan almost lost control of himself and rushed over, but Nymm grabbed him firmly by the arm.Even though both of them hated Fane so much that they would not even be able to resolve that hatred if they beat Fane to death, the Whirling World had its rules. Anyone who tried to fight in a restricted area would die.Nymm grabbed Rowan tightly. "Remember where we are now. Hold back, no matter how angry you are. Don't walk to your death!"Rowan panted heavily, his eyes reddening as he did. He truly was about to explode from anger. Otherwise, he would not have lost all his rationality like that. Rowan took a few deep breaths before he managed to repress his anger, though his rage remained.Right at that moment
They knew very well that they would anger the warriors from Star Continent if they said another word.They exchanged reluctant looks with each other, but they accepted their fates and stood up, giving their place to Percy's group.The adamant behaviors of Fane and the black-robed man greatly benefitted Lourain and the others. After all, they had gotten back the seats they just gave up. All of them hurried over to their original seats, but they controlled their expressions, not daring to look happy about it at all. Lourain took a deep breath as he looked over at Fane, but he did not dare say anything at that moment at all. After all, he did not want anyone to know that he and Fane knew each other.The short confrontation had been put to the side for the moment, but everyone knew that it was just the beginning of the storm. As long as they had the chance, the warriors from Star Continent would make the masked man pay a heavy price.Fane remained calm as if everything that had happe
"Get lost! How dare you cut my spot in the queue?! Do you want to die?! I'm from the Swelling Tide Continent. If you're not careful, the whole continent will end up targeting you!""So what if you're from the Swelling Tide Continent? I'm not an insignificant man either! The spot belongs to whoever gets it. If you work with your continent against me, I'll have my companions target you, too. I'm going to fight for what's mine this time! I refuse to make way!""Let me through! I'll kill you all!"Everyone was arguing frantically for the spots that were left, but no one actually attacked anyone. They were just shouting at each other. After all, they did not dare to challenge the rules of the Whirling World.Everyone's eyes were wide open in anger, and if looks could kill, all of them would have been dead.In the end, the skeletal masked caretaker spoke up, "Silence, all of you. Register based on your position in the queue. Anyone who fights will be punished by the rules!"The moment
If Percy could not beat the purple-feathered beast, they would regain what they betted. However, if Percy won, they would be able to make a quick fortune.Lourain coughed before he glanced at Fane. He was eager as well but was worried that he would get angry if he bet on Percy. After all, they just had a brief conflict—and an intense one at that. Him betting on Percy would mean he was siding with the enemy.He would not be willing to voice out his intentions, but he did not want to lose out on a gamble that was a sure win either. It was not just Lourain, but Marth had a similar expression on his face as well.Lourain gulped. He had a conflicted expression on his face as he struggled to decide if he would go. If he went, he would offend Fane. If he did not, he would lose out on a clear opportunity that was plain to see. He was reluctant to do so, so Lourian felt incredibly conflicted.Compared to Marth, Lourain was a lot more impatient. Even if Marth was thinking the same thing, he
Fane garnered a lot of attention when he stood up. Just as everyone was wondering what Fane wanted to do, he slowly left the spectator area and walked toward the betting area. A few people were stunned at the sight."What's he doing? Is he trying to place a bet? How can he even be thinking about that right now?""Who knows? This guy has never done anything sane. He looks like he's going to participate in the bets. Who's he planning on betting on?""It doesn't matter who he bets on; he won't bet on Percy for sure. I think this guy is just trying to provoke Percy by going to place his bet on a weaker warrior!""There's no reason to do that, though. I think Percy will just think that he's doing something pointless. He won't be angered by this at all. What's the man thinking?"Just like that, the discussions got louder. Everyone was trying to guess what Fane was doing. Was he going to place a bet? Who would he bet on in the end?Rowan and the others naturally heard those discussions
