Fane replied without turning around to look at them," So, do you think that we should have chosen to stay inside instead? That way, we would not have suffered any losses, right?" There was no change in Fane's expression when he spoke but anybody smart enough could hear the anger in Fane's words. Jed was quick to judge. He was full of praises when things were going smoothly but he was not one to hold back judgment whenever something bad was happening.
Jed dared not raise his head to look at Fane. However, there was a hint of not being convinced in his lowered eyes. "I did not say so. I just feel that we came out in a hurry. If we were able to stay inside for a couple more days, such issues would not have happened."
Fane humphed lightly and he continued to stare forward with his eagle-like eyes. "Then why didn't you say this earlier on? You kept quiet previously but you speak more than anybody else when something has happened." Fane had never been somebody who liked to talk. However, this did not mean that he would allow others to accuse him as they wished to.
Jed's facial expression mellowed and he wanted to refute Fane. However, Dwight could not endure this anymore and said, "You should shut up. What's the use of saying such things when we're already in this situation."
Jed was so angry that his lips were trembling. He glared at Dwight's stressed expression with an accusatory look in his eyes. He was angry at Dwight for scolding him on behalf of an outsider. Dwight was in no mood to acknowledge what Jed was thinking about. Right now, they might be facing the most dangerous situation of their lifetime.
They did not lower their voices as they fought and Robin heard every word they said. The smile on his face grew and he thought how fun the situation before his eyes was. Robin narrowed his eyes as he sized Fane up and said, "Young man, you don’t seem to be worried. Aren't you afraid that we will cut you people into pieces later? You might not know what sort of a pavilion our Corpse Pavilion is. Shall I explain our pavilion to you?”
What Robin said was filled with ridicule yet Fane did not even look up when he heard this. There was no need for any explanation as to what sort of a pavilion the Corpse Pavilion was, the name was self-explanatory. They were definitely a bunch of vicious and merciless people who practiced black martial arts. In fact, Robin said this to inform Fane that they would not kill Fane and the rest easily. They plan to torture these people until they get their hands on everything Fane and the rest knew.
It was known when did the wind started blowing and the breeze swept past Fane's sideburns. Strands of Fane's hair were sticking on his cheek. There were no changes in Fane's expression even though Robin said some threatening words. He turned around and glanced at the four people beside him. He did some calculations and said in a serious tone, "Brother Dwight and Jed, can the two of you help to pin those three down with the help of Brother Albion? There won’t be any need for my father as his strength is incomparable to a single blow from these people.”
The others were stunned when they heard what Fane said. Everybody looked at Fane with puzzled expressions on their faces. Robin sneered and stared at Fane as if he was a fool. "You asked them to pin those down... Do you think you can get rid of one of us fast enough to free up your hands to fight the others?"
The more Robin thought about it, the funnier he felt Fane was. Who did he think he was. He was just a martial artist in the initial stage of the innate level yet he dared to say such raving words. Did he hit his head somewhere or had he just woken up and was not in his right mind. Although Dwight thought of Fane differently, the corners of his mouth also twitched when he heard this. He did not know how to respond at that moment.
