Such an obvious dare used in such a despicable way. Fane could not help but laugh coldly after he heard this. Such a challenge was useful to others, but just not against Fane.
The other newly recruited informal disciples were spirited after they heard this and looked at Fane excitedly, wanting him to accept the challenge. To these people, Fane was capable of fighting Wesley.
Thinking Fane would not agree to the wager with the way how silent Fane was save for his sneer, Wesley frettingly added, "You're the number one disciple among those who are newly recruited. If you're terrified now, what do you think others will think about you in the future?”
Fane spoke in a low voice, "I do not care about how others think about me. Don't you wish to fight me in the wager battle arena? I'll grant you your wish, but I'm not doing this because of what you've said. I just feel that you deserve to be taught a lesson."
A smile immediately appeared on Wesley's face when Fane agreed to it. However, the last sentence Fane said was like pouring a bucket of dogs' blood on his face, and the delighted expression immediately disappeared.
Wesley stared at Fane with gritted teeth, wanting nothing more than to rebuke him loudly. If the pavilion did not have rules that prevented them from fighting in private, he wanted to fold his sleeves and teach this gallant man a lesson.
This guy dared say that he needed to be taught a lesson. Nobody dared humiliate him in such a way throughout the years!
"Listen carefully, you b*stard. I'll make you pay dearly."
Fane raised his eyebrows and looked at Wesley calmly. "You can keep those fifty pieces of lower-grade spirited crystals as gifts for this faithful dog you have beside you. I'm not taking them. Let’s set the wager battle at the end of this month.”
It was the beginning of the month, and Fane kept enough time for himself by setting the wager battle at the end of the month. However, the time period that Fane thought to be sufficient was just a blink of an eye in other people's opinion.
After all, the time period of a month was still quite short, and it would not increase Fane's fighting prowess much. What Fane had said not only slapped Wesley, but he also included the man with triangular eyes. The man with triangular eyes was so furious that he pointed at Fane and trembled, almost lambasting him right then and there. However, Wesley stopped him.
Wesley turned around and spoke with narrowed eyes, "Alright! We'll go according to the timing you set. You'll have to remember it well, though. Don’t be so terrified that you don't show up by then."
Fane returned to his room without looking back after he finished speaking. He closed the room door with a slam without replying to Wesley.
In Wesley's opinion, such actions were no different from slapping him on the face. He was so angry that his entire body trembled. The man with triangular eyes started yelling, "Does this guy even know how to follow the rules?! What a b*stard; he doesn’t understand the immensity of heaven and earth. Senior brother, you can't let this guy off the hook easily when you guys meet in the wager battle arena!”
The corners of Wesley's mouth curled into a ruthless sneer. "Don't you worry. I’ll teach this guy a lesson within the margins allowed by the rules. I'll show him who he can offend, and those that he can’t afford to."
He waved his sleeves with a cold scoff before he left. The man with triangular eyes and the others also followed after Wesley like they were his henchmen.
The newly recruited informal disciples who originally came outside for a chat were in no mood to continue staying outside. What Wesley and the others said caused them to be quite upset. Some of them were so angry that their entire body quaked, but there was nothing they could do.
