Rudy knew why Fane was looking at him. He had been so ridiculed that he helped Fane divert everyone's attention and allowed Fane to benefit from it. Just thinking about it made him feel sad.
However, he could not say anything at that moment nor did he dare speak up like he did before. After all, he knew of Fane's skills. No matter if it was martial arts or alchemy, Fane was far better than him.
The green-robed man’s lips twitched as he glared at Fane, but in the end, none of the others said anything about it. After all, having the eyes to quickly claim the task was a skill as well, and it was his fault for focusing too much on that clown.
The green-robed man felt worse thinking about it, and he started to look at Rudy with an even harsher expression.
"Continue walking. There's a back door at the corner. After you push open the door, you'll enter a side hall. There's a steward there. Come with me," a cold voice was suddenly heard next to Fane's ear.
Fane frowned as he turned around in confusion before he was met with a man in scarlet red robes looking at him with a calm expression.
Fane's frown deepened. Was that man talking to him?
When the scarlet-robed man noticed that Fane was
not saying anything, he gave Fane a once-over before a cold smile made its way to his face.
"You must be new. It's reasonable for you to not know who I am."
After those words, Fane was finally sure that the man was talking to him, but what did he mean by his previous words? He wanted him to go through the back door to look for a steward? Why did he need to do that?
