Devin noticed the situation and said earnestly, "Besides the final competition, I've received news saying that the Loh family is likely to propose a battle with our Gu family right after the finals."
"When that time comes, if Uzair can obtain the Eternal Ice Core, his strength will increase greatly and will definitely be able to gain an advantage in the battle between the two families."
Uzair also said a few words, "Uncle Devin, I'm not doing this for my own selfish desires, but for the sake of the entire Gu family."
Talmon frowned and hesitated for a moment.
At that moment, Fade sneered and said, "Just be straightforward if you're doing it for yourself. You're even using some ridiculous reasons to justify yourself, how amusing."
"What did you say?" Uzair was furious as he glared at Fade.
Fade said, "I'm saying that you're selfish and hypocritical.''
"You talked about doing this for the battle and the sake of the Gu family, but ultimately, you just want the Eternal Ice Core to yourself"
"That's nonsense—" Uzair was very angry.
Devin spoke at that moment, "We're doing this for the sake of the overall outcome and Uzair does not make the decision by himself."
Fade sneered and asked, "But why do you have to give the Eternal Ice Core to Uzair for the sake of the overall outcome?"
"That's because Uzair is the strongest among us here. He could use the Eternal Ice Core to his advantage and this could help our Gu family to win the battle." Devin suppressed his anger as he spoke.
Fade said, "Who says that Uzair is the strongest among us here?"
"In my opinion, I am even stronger than him. If I could obtain the Eternal Ice Core, I will definitely be able to increase my strength even more and win the battle.”
"That's nonsense!" Uzair furiously shouted.
Fade sneered, "Heh heh, you said that you're winning the battle for the sake of the family, so why do I winning the battle sound like nonsense to you? Aren't you being too bias?"
Alyx, who had been standing aside, could not help but stand up at that moment. He said to Fade, "Fade, you are being too self-righteous. Your strength can't even be compared to Uzair's. Do you really think you can win him?"
"Haha, you're just a loser, do you think I care whatever you say?" Fade said sarcastically.
"You— " Alyx was furious.
Seeing the situation getting more and more chaotic, Devin shouted, "Fade, what exactly do you want?"
Fade looked at Devin's cold eyes and said firmly, "It's very simple, we fight with our own abilities."
"You..." Devin was furious and was about to lose his temper.
At this moment, Talmon said, "Master Devin, if you don't agree to this, then let Fade step back and participate in the competition as a self cultivator. I believe that with his current strength, there should be quite a few people who are interested in him.”
Once he said these words, Devin, who was originally about to rage, immediately calmed down. He stared fiercely at Talmon and clenched his teeth, "Talmon, are you forgetting that you are still a member of the Gu family?"
Talmon said in a deep voice, "Of course I didn't. But Devin, don't forget that the reason why our Gu family was able to stand strong in the South Van City for ten thousand years is that we're always fair to everyone and never do anything to harm others and ourselves." "You... fine, very well, let's fight with our own abilities!" Devin stared at Talmon. He was quiet for a couple of seconds before he clenched his teeth and spoke.
Although he was extremely displeased with Fade's words, he was still aware of Talmon's words.
If Fade really participated in the final as a selfcultivator, then Uzair would be the only one left in the Gu family. It would be almost impossible for them to win over the Loh family and South Van Academy.
Moreover, things would still go well if Fade did not help either side. However, if he held grudges and decided to help their opponent, it would be more difficult for the Gu family.
Therefore, after considering all factors, Talmon chose to back down and did not continue to force Fade.
Uzair glanced at the head who had a gloomy face. Then, he looked towards Fade and let out a cold laugh, "You think too highly of yourself. Once we reached the finals, I will show you what it means to fight with your own abilities."
"I'll be waiting," Fade said calmly with an indifferent expression.
Then, he turned around and the three of them left together.
In the hall, looking at Fade's back, many of the Gu family members started cursing and scolding.
"In the end, he's still an outsider and would never feel the sense of achieving success together."
"If it was not for our Gu family, how could he, a foreign brat, have the opportunity to participate in a competition held in the city. He's such an ungrateful person."
"Talmon should also take the blame, how could he do this just because of an outsider!"
"He's so reckless. Our Gu family gave him a chance, yet he's threatening us right now?"
Amidst the commotion, Uzair looked at Devin who was frowning, he said with a proud face, "Master Gu, I am confident that I will be able to win the finals even without Fade's help."
Devin nodded and said, "Uzair, of course I believe in your abilities.”
"However, two people from the Loh family and three from the South Van Academy managed to enter the final. But there are only two of us from our Gu family."
"And Fade is still acting like an idiot. If they join forces, I'm worried that..."
After saying these words, Uzair looked worried.
