Fane chuckled lightly after he heard this and said, "There's no need to wait till the end of the month as we can battle now.
Since you've agreed to my demands, there’s no point in waiting."
What Fane said was the same as dropping a 3000 kilograms boulder into a calm lake. Many people immediately wondered if they were hallucinating. What did Fane just say? Was he in a hurry to die when he said that he wanted to go into the battle arena right then and there with Wesley? Or had he given up and gone completely crazy?
Even Noel and Brook looked at each other in blank dismay after they heard what Fane said. Their mouths were wide open for a long time and they were unable to say a word apart from the surprise in their hearts as they looked at Fane's straight back.
Fane completely ignored what the onlookers thought about him or their opinions toward him. He walked steadily and arrived in front of Ambrose. Ambrose was also slightly stunned as he looked at Fane. He could not comprehend what Fane wanted to do. He felt that Fane was not the kind of lunatic who did not care about anything else.
Only around a dozen days had passed and he was in such a hurry to die? If he was given a month of training time, he might be able to increase his strength and would not lose in such an ugly way. However, Fane was impatient for it to happen. The corners of his mouth twitched as he spoke dryly." Are you sure that you want to have a fight with him in the battle arena now?"
Fane nodded solemnly. "Unless Wesley is unwilling to fight with me."
Wesley’s eyes almost jumped out of his sockets when he heard this. He really could not understand what Fane had in mind. In the beginning, he thought that Fane did so many things to prevent himself from joining Wesley in the battle arena. However, Fane was in so much anticipation to have a fight with him!
Wesley swallowed his saliva and the corners of his mouth twitched as he spoke. "Sure! We definitely have to fight!"
Fane nodded. Was this not over? What was worth feeling tangled about? Fane's lack of dilemma did not mean that Ambrose was not in a dilemma. He softly sighed and felt that this was such an intriguing day.
However, he could not say anything as the judge since both Fane and Wesley had agreed to the terms. He asked Steward Fleming to pass him the wager record book as he slowly wrote down all the wagers set by both of them. When he finally finished writing the last item, he could not help but ask again, "Are you sure that you would like to have a battle with him now?"
Fane nodded calmly. Ambrose exhaled deeply and decided to say nothing else. He pointed at the battle arena in the middle that was newly emptied. 'This is your battle arena. The two of you can go up now if you're ready.”
Fane turned around and looked at Wesley as he spoke. "Do you need to take a rest to restore your peak state as you’ve just finished a battle?"
After Wesley heard what Fane said, his facial expression changed like there were fireworks happening. His facial expression alternated between a greenish color and being pale. He humphed coldly as his shoulders trembled. Wesley felt that he did not know how to respond as he was exasperated. He even wondered if there was something wrong with this guy. The other onlookers were also speechless. Fane was actually worried that Wesley was not at his peak state? Was he worried that Wesley would be unable to wound him badly later?
At this moment, everybody was certain that there was something wrong with Fane's mentality or he would not have spoken in such a manner. Wesley inhaled deeply and refused to say anything as he directly walked toward the battle arena he had just come down from.
The shoulders of the man with triangular eyes trembled as a speechless expression appeared on his face. "I've never seen anybody like you, who wishes to die so much. There really are various kinds of strange things in this great world."
