Since bygone times, inns and restaurants had been the best places to obtain news. This was why Fane had to get a room in the inn. Apart from some similarities, there were also differences between this world and the Cathysia world.
The similarities were that apart from the developed martial art culture, the other parts of the world were incomparable to the Cathysia world. The difference was that their martial art culture was much more developed compared to the Cathysia world. Even their level of martial skills and martial art techniques were fundamentally different from the Cathysia world.
The inn, from both the exterior appearance and interior design, was just a run-off-the-mill inn.
Of course, Fane did not care about this. After all, he was not here to enjoy life. The Hestia Continent was filled with all sorts of clans, and the fights between these powers had never stopped. This place was far more dangerous compared to the Cathysia world.
The thought of it conjured uncertainty within Fane, thinking that his journey would not be a smooth one. He had to develop his power within a short period so he could respond to the changes that would happen at any time in this world.
Just as he planned to enter the Mustard Seed and discuss things with his family, noises broke out from outside his room. It sounded like someone had shattered their teacups.
Fane was no busybody, but his refusal to listen to anything when he had just arrived at this place might hinder his path in the future. Thinking things through, he pushed open his door and walked downstairs, toward the hall where the customers ate.
Groups of people gathered at the originally quiet hall, and a man wearing a red robe was glaring at a man with a huge beard. The atmosphere between them was so tense that it looked as if a fight would break out the next second.
The man in the red robe had bulging cheeks as he said to the bearded man angrily, "What do you know?! Don't think that you can show off in front of me with your mere ability! How can a commoner from the countryside like you be worthy enough to snatch a treasure with me?!"
The bearded man was so angry that his mustache started to tremble.
His eyes almost popped out of his sockets." Farley Haller! You’re bullying us, commoner martial artists who rely on your Haller family! I was the one who
discovered the spirited herb! I've already collected the items, and you brought a group of people to take the spirited herb from me! I've already told you that this isn't over!"
Farley looked at the bearded man in contempt after he heard this. "So what if I took this from you? Are you capable of retribution against me? Our Haller family has produced many masters during the recent hundred years, and we're thriving now. A commoner like you that has nobody to depend on is only good at arguing, and there's nothing you can do. Just wait till your next life if you plan on getting revenge!"
Such words were undeniably exasperating, and the bearded man's eyebrows almost turned into a straight line. "Just wait and see, then! I'll make you pay for this when I join the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and become their disciple!”
Farley raised his eyebrows and chuckled after he heard this. Everybody there was able to hear the mockery hidden in his laughter.
"Oh my god! You're making my stomach hurt. You're even thinking about becoming a Dual Sovereign Pavilion's disciple?! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? With your current strength, they won't want you even if you want to do odd jobs for them, let alone become the Dual Sovereign Pavilion's disciple!”
What the man said caused the bearded man to be extremely furious. The muscles on his face trembled in anger, face tightening as he glared at Farley.
I’ll definitely become a disciple of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Just you wait!" The bearded man looked like he did not want to prolong his exchange with Farley. Thus, he took out two spirited crystals from his pocket and slammed them on the table with a thud before he left without looking back.
Farley's mocking smirk never left his face as he watched the bearded man leave.
