Kayla assumed that Fane was afraid when she saw his brows scrunching together. " That’s right. Let me explain everything," she said. "Sometimes, the Woods family will get a familiar friend to introduce someone, or they will come down from the mountain to choose a few talented warriors to enter the Woods family. This rarely happens, but some people become part of the Woods family like that!"
Here, Kayla paused for a while before resuming, "One of the Maack family members had been lucky enough to enter the Woods family. And he managed to mix quite well with them, so he's the helmsman now, and he's a warrior at the intermediate stage of the true god status. Miss Maack is s o cocky because of this!"
"Just leave, young man. It'll be too late if you don't. I’m sure that Autumn won’t let this slide just like that, judging from her personality! Besides, you were the one who chopped off the arm of the first daughter of the Maack family. Master Maack won't let you off the hook either!”
The old man advised Fane and Selena anxiously.
"Thank you for your concern. But if that is truly the case, all the more we shouldn’t leave!"
Fane raised his hands into a fist-to-palm salute toward the two. Then his attention wandered toward a barbecue stall not too far away. "We came here to eat barbecue," h e said, smiling. "But we haven't even eaten yet. How could we leave now? Right, Dear?" 'Right? I'm hungry! Selena gave a wan smile. She took Fane's hand in hers and walked toward the barbecue stall.
"Those-those two still have the heart to eat barbecue!"
The old man was so agitated that his mustache practically bristled. He huffed and stalked over to the side.
Kayla was furious as well. However, she did not give up on them. She chased after them and stared at Fane, huffing. "Don’t you love your wife? If you do, you two should leave. Now!" she said. "Even if you don't fear death, you can't drag your wife along with you!"
Warmth filled Fane’s chest at the sight of this compassionate girl. "How talented are you, girl?” he said, smiling.
Kayla was speechless for a moment. "A ninth-grade grandmaster. Why? You refuse to leave, and you still want to ask about my talent. At any rate, I'm pretty strong, and I have good talent. I'm probably stronger than you!"
