The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2009

Even he could not tell whether Fane's confidence was because he had a good plan or he was faking it until he made it. Most of the people there thought Fane was doing the latter and hated him for it.

Wesley had been staring at him ever since he got down from the battle platform. He was expecting Fane to be scared shitless and became extremely furious when he was not. "He must be pretending not to be scared! There's no way he's not scared. His acting is definitely better than his fighting."

He did not bother to keep his voice low but instead, said it really loud and made the others who heard it look at Fane with curiosity. Fane’s overly calm behavior gave them no doubt that he was definitely pretending not to be scared. Not bothering what he would think of them, they started to give their two cents’ worth.

"Ugh, I can't stand him looking so calm! I can understand him staying so calm if he hadn't seen what Brother Wesley can do. I don’t even know why he bothers to put up a pretense when everyone knows Brother Wesley's power can be ranked in the top one hundred amongst us, informal disciples."

"He must be doing it to protect his own ego. No matter how scared he's feeling, he definitely would not let outsiders see but this just makes him more of a laughingstock."

"Yeah, he's a joke! There must be a loose screw in his brain.” "I think he might be in a state of shock. I would be scared shitless right now if I was him." "You're right. Forget about the grudges between the two of them, Wesley didn’t actually have to humiliate Dale with that last strike. Although that last strike didn’t cause permanent damage to Dale thus Wesley didn't break any rules but there’s no doubt it caused permanent emotional scarring to him. I'm sure Fane will suffer a far worse humiliation than that."

"I think so too. Brother Wesley and Brother Dale didn't really hold any deep hatred toward each other and yet look at what Brother Wesley did to him. He must have been planning something even worse for Fane."

They did not bother to lower their voices so it was only natural that Fane would have heard what they said. However, his expression remained impassive and he did not even look toward Wesley.

The corners of Noel's lips twitched again. He lowered his voice and said to Fane, "Are you really not afraid? Wesley had the intention to humiliate Dale from the very start. The ’X’ mark on Dale's chest is like a slap to his face. If he can do that to Dale, imagine what he will do to you."

"So what?” asked Fane with an equally low voice and with a smile on his face.
