The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2959

For others, taking part in the competition meant that Rudeus might very well humiliate them, and no one wanted to bear that humiliation. Of those present, only two of them had gotten treasures while the rest returned empty-handed.

Every one of them knew how difficult the competition was, so everyone became cowards. No one was willing to stand up at such a time. Fane looked at Rudeus before turning to look at Aaron.

At that moment, Aaron was conversing with Rudy. The two of them were hidden in the darkness, trying not to interact with anyone else. There must have been a few alchemists present that were like Aaron, but thanks to Rudeus' poorly chosen words, no one was willing to step up.

Rudeus trembled with anger and looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.

Fane did not want to care about anything, but thinking about it, he would need to meet the alchemists from White Marsh Continent and Chaos Continent when the competition started. If they truly could not get enough people, they would be the laughingstock for everyone else.

To avoid that, and also because Fane did not want Rudeus to just do as he pleased, Fane said to the people around him, "Rudeus might be exceptional, but

he's not the boss of everyone here. We can't just let him pick and choose who can take part just because he wants to. Even if the competition is hard, it's a good opportunity to challenge yourself. As alchemists, we shouldn't let go of any chance to improve ourselves!"

What greeted him was silence and gazes of various emotions. Some were exasperated, while some were disgusted, but they were all directed at Fane.

Fane was not fazed, having anticipated these reactions before he even spoke.

Rudeus, enraged and unable to tolerate Fane's sudden burst of words, stood up. He was like an angered lion, clenching his fists tightly as his true energy circulated his body, ready to attack at any moment.

Nash Skye, who was also from the Scarlet Pavilion, reached out and grabbed Rudeus by his arm. He was afraid that Rudeus would not be able to control his temper and attack Fane.

After all, Prosper City had its laws, and the moment Rudeus broke those laws, he would be punished. It was a punishment no alchemists could withstand, and he would be turned to ashes.

"Don't fall for it, Rudeus!" warned Nash anxiously." This guy is trying to anger you and make you attack. You'll be punished by Prosper City if you do!"

Those words were like a bucket of cold water on Rudeu's face. He suddenly calmed down from his anger, realizing that he had been acting too recklessly. If Nash had not been there to hold him back, he might have attacked Fane.

After all, Fane's words had been even worse than adding oil to the fire for Rudeus.

Rudeus took a few deep breaths before he quelled the anger in his heart. At that moment, however, Rudeus' hatred toward Fane became concentrated.

Nash looked over and scoffed. "Don't think that you can challenge us as you please, you brat!"
