"Sigh! Why are they not back yet?!" Somebody sighed again after they waited for some time.
"Hey, there's a man flying our way on a flying sword!" joyously exclaimed a man from the Lancaster family, perched on top of the branches.
"Really? That's great!” Helena, Daniella, and the others were extremely excited when they heard this. They immediately flew upward to see who came their way.
However, the expressions on their faces fell when they noticed who it was on that flying sword moments later.
The other party felt threatened as he got closer, noticing so many people in the area. Sure, he was a member of a first-class aristocratic family, the Zachary family, and he usually had nothing to fear of any other day.
However, how could he fight when the people he spotted at that moment were masters of a couple hundred in the forest?
"Greetings, e—everybody. I'm alone, and I don't have many tokens with me. If you want them, I...I can give them to you.
Please, don’t...don't hurt me!" The man had a frightened expression on his face. After all, he was only in the initial stage of the true-god level, and although his fighting prowess was not low, he was no match against those like Helena, Daniella, Venus, and Randall. He did not even have the opportunity to resist them.
"Who would want your tokens? They're just icing on the cake for us. Apart from that, the competition is ending tomorrow. It's meaningless to take a couple of tokens from you!" Daniella was extremely disappointed when she saw that the person was not Fane. She rolled her eyes at that person and, crossing her arms at her chest, grumbled, "Shoo, shoo! Get lost now, it's annoying to look at you!”
The man was at a loss for words. While he was thankful that they did not take his belongings, they looked as if the very sight of him annoyed them. He had no idea how he offended this beautiful lady and was despised in such a way.
"Alright, alright, alright!” The man was extremely puzzled, but he nonetheless quickly flew far away with his flying sword that was a middle-grade spiritual tool.
Some time later, four to five members of the Woods family flew over from far away.
Their expressions darkened when they spotted Daniella and the others standing among the woods, somewhat frightened as they wondered if those people would take their things.
"Kaleb!" Yule, who was in the woods below, immediately flew upward and called out to them when she saw them.
Kaleb Woods eased when he saw that it was Yule. Looking at the woods below, he discovered that many had gathered in that spot, and most of them were members of the Woods family.
"This is great, Miss Yule! This is great! I didn't expect everybody to be here!" Kaleb was extremely excited as he spoke. "We were extremely careful these past couple of days as we personally saw many geniuses from other forces being killed. Sigh... This competition is totally different from the last ones!"
Kaleb seemed to have recalled something as he spoke. He looked around and asked," By the way, where’s Young Master Fane? Why don't I see him? Isn’t he together with you guys?"
Everybody's facial expression darkened as they heard this.
"How could this be? Did something happen to Young Master Fane?” Kaleb panicked when he noticed everybody's reaction and felt that something was wrong. Anxious, he then blurted, "This is impossible! Young Master Fane is such a nice person, and he's so talented. What should our Woods family do if something happened to him? I'm sure that nothing would happen to Young Master Fane!" "It all happened because of..." Yule sighed and told Kaleb about every detail that happened previously.
