Fane's words caused even Maynard to widen his eyes. The others looked at Fane with curious expressions, and Fane pursed his lips helplessly.
Normally, he would have kept this to himself.
However, the people in front of him were nowhere intimidatingly powerful. Even if they wanted to do something to him, they would not be able to stop Fane from escaping.
That was why Fane was much more honest than usual. Maynard took a step forward and sized Fane up, as if wanting to notice something from Fane's clothes. It was obvious that he did not know anything about West Cercie State and could not tell.
After a long time, he finally said, "Where were you from before?"
Fane composed himself, having no intention of even explaining himself. "It's my first time in Middle Province."
Maynard frowned at this and said, and somewhat sourly at that, "Don't worry, we're not planning on doing anything to you. Our master just wants to invite you to come with us. He just wants one more person around. It's very dangerous here. If you stay alone, you might not be able to survive for even two days.
"However, if you come with us, it's actually quite
dangerous for us not knowing your background."
Maynard's words were quite polite. Even though there was a hint of a threat within his response, the tone was quite measured.
Fane looked at Maynard. "I don't want to say anything because I don't know your background as well. If you want me to be honest, you'd have to at least show some sincerity."
Maynard could not help but let out a cold laugh as he heard that. "You truly are bold. You're just a brat in the initial stage of the innate level, and you're demanding us? Let me tell you, you should be begging us right now. If we don't bring you along, you'll never survive!"
