The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2012

The man with triangular eyes strode rapidly toward Fane and narrowed his eyes at him as if Fane was the prey and he the predator. "I know what you're trying to do!"

'What am I trying to do?' thought Fane with confusion.

The man with triangular eyes scoffed and with an exaggerated gasp pointed at Fane." You're trying to get out of the battle with Wesley!”

Fane's lips immediately set in a hard line. He was looking at the man with triangular eyes as if he had just escaped from a mental asylum. "Please tell me what have I said to make you think that way? Why would I ask him for his wager if I don’t want to have a battle with him?"

The man with triangular eyes shook his shoulder, scoffed, and with a wave of his hand, said loudly, "You said you won't fight against Brother Wesley if he didn't offer up a wager. That's proof you don’t want to get into a battle against him because you know that Brother Wesley is a proud person and if he offers up a wager then it means you have a chance of winning. He hates you so much so there’s no way he would do that!"

'What kind of sh*t logic is this?' thought Fane. He found the whole thing so absurd that he nearly burst out in laughter.

However, he could tell the man with triangular eyes thought he had guessed correctly to Fane's motive.

'Huh! So he does know the meaning of the word 'fear'. There’s no doubt he was acting all along,' thought the man with triangular eyes, happy that he had managed to grab hold of his weakness.

He then turned to face the crowd and said," You all heard what he said right? He must be scared to fight against Wesley to say all that. Does he seriously think he's worthy enough for Brother Wesley to put up his wager?"

Wesley raised his eyebrow menacingly and looked at Fane with a pair of eyes filled with derision as if he was asking him whether he really lacked the guts to go against him in a battle. Fane was rendered speechless by their words and looks. What he hated the most was wasting his breath on other people who were sure of their own viewpoints. However, he knew things would not settle down so easily if he did not explain himself. He wished he did not have to waste any more time with the man with triangular eyes and Wesley.

The crowd seemed to agree with the man with triangular eyes. After all, Wesley was so strong that even Dale, who ranked 143rd, was no match for him. It was even more impossible for the newly recruited informal disciples to win against him. All of them held the same sentiment that Fane had previously agreed to fight Wesley in the wager battle arena because he did not know just how strong Wesley was.

“He must have gone insane with shock and quickly thought up a plan like this to get himself out of the fight with Wesley.

However, I don't think his plan will work. If Wesley let the matter slide after all that he had said, then no one will ever take him seriously anymore.”

"Yeah! We all know about Wesley’s fiery temper and how he would do anything to take out those that he hates. Wesley wouldn't be the Wesley we know if let Fane go just like that.”

"That Fane must be panicking to come up with a useless plan like this. Wesley would definitely offer up a wager just so he could torture him during the battle.”

Deacon Ambrose, who was standing under the battle platform, glanced at Fane with eyes filled with resignation. To him, Fane possessed unlimited potential but he should really do something about his impulsive nature.
