"You..." Saimus didn't expect Fade to be so bold. His face darkened and the expression on it changed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fade, are you planning to monopolize this entire herb farm alone? Do you believe you can use all of it?"
Refusing to waste any more time with him, Fade released a burst of positive energy from his body. A red flame surrounded his body, making him look like a demon from hell. Right away, Saimus could feel this intense aura pressuring down on him.
"If you want it, come and get it. If you're too much of a coward, scram!"
In the face of such domineering energy, Saimus could not hold a single expression as his face shifted rapidly. He was angry, annoyed, and reluctant. In the end, he said nothing and retreated as he didn't want to fight Fade.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes how Fade took down Mina and Jaston minutes ago. No matter how hard he tried, there was no way he was going to win.
At the end of the day, Saimus wasn’t willing to take the risk.
Although he was confident in his power, he knew that he was as powerful as Mina at most. If he were to face the two enemies earlier, he wouldn't have been able to win.
Thinking of this, he didn't try to negotiate any longer. Finally, he glared at Fade and turned to leave. "Let's go!"
Fade watched them leave. Only when their shadows were completely out of sight did he turn around.
"Let's hurry up and collect the herbs. If another group runs into us, there'll be more trouble."
Following this, the three of them started to pick all the herbs in the field.
At the same time, the team leaders, who were watching this in front of their mirrors, were equally shocked by the sudden turn of events. It took a while for them to recollect themselves.
Nestor was the first one to react. At first, he had his head hung low and was sighing continuously. At that moment, his head was raised high and he was full of smiles.
The other team leaders all sighed in disappointment.
"I can't believe Fade won two versus one!"
"Not only was it two against one, but there were also another thirty more of them. None of them were weak."
"It seems that Fade has a secret weapon hidden within him!"
"Not even Balton could've won against Jaston and Mina combined! By the looks of it, Fade will be a strong competitor for Balton." "Mr. Moo, congratulations! It looks like you have another gem in your team."
"You certainly do have an eye for things like this. Your judgment is impeccable!"
"This time around, it seems that Mr. Moo might emerge at the top among the Sixteen Inner Halls."
"There's no doubt about that! Saimus and Alicia are among the top five members here. With Fade, Mr. Moo is surely going to be number one."
Quite a few team leaders came forward to congratulate Nestor.
Of course, Nestor's face was full of smiles at this moment. He couldn't help but feel happy. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much. I got lucky. It's all luck."
If his smiling face was a beautiful countryside scenery, Lucio's expression was the complete opposite. His face was ashen, and he looked as pale as a zombie.
At that moment, he couldn't describe the anger, regret, remorse, and even resentment he felt.
Alicia and Fade were initially members of his team at the start.
If he hadn't relented and helped Jaston take down Joey, he wouldn't have provoked Fade.
This action of his was the one that ultimately resulted in the departing of the team.
If things hadn't turned out that way, the person sitting here receiving all the congratulations wouldn't be Nestor, but himself.
