Those harsh words kept on being spoken. The alchemists of White Marsh Continent refused to let Fane off easily. They did everything they could to criticize Fane!
Not only did they criticize Fane, but they also insulted all the alchemists from Hestia Continent as well. They did not bother holding back on their words at all.
The alchemists from Hestia Continent were incredibly furious listening to those words. All of them were incredibly indignant, and wanted to retort. However, they could not figure out what to say.
After all, they were right. Fane definitely was a sixthgrade alchemist. As long as Fane had the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist on his chest, there was nothing they could say that would be more convincing. So, they really had nothing to say bag.
They were forced to keep their looks of indignance on their faces, unable to say anything. Since there was nothing they could say, they threw their hatred onto Fane instead.
Some of the alchemists from Hestia Continent started to turn and look at Fane, "Can you just stop talking so much? If you really have the skills, we won't stop you from saying anything.
"Can you just look at the badge on your chest before
you speak? You're not even a seventh-grade alchemist, so why are you saying all of that? You're just embarrassing the whole Hestia Continent with you!"
"That's right! It's one thing to show off when you're in the inner city, but you're still so arrogant here. If you had a reason to be like this, we wouldn't stop you. Yet, you have no right to be, so you're just going to be mocked by others!"
Fane sighed helplessly. Looking at those people, he had to admit that they had a point. After all, they did not know about Fane.
Fane let out a laugh as he suddenly felt like he could not just get angered without being compensated. He looked at Ethan who was speaking the loudest.
He said in his usual tone, "So you don't think I can get a treasure, right?"
The moment he said that, Ethan laughed out loud again. Ethan's stomach was starting to hurt from laughing so much as he pointed at Fane, "Why are you so funny? Do you really think you can get a treasure?"
Fane nodded calmly, "I think I can!"
The moment he said that everyone was stunned. They started to look at Fane like they were looking at an idiot. Did he know what he was saying? Did he know how hilarious what he said was?
Someone with a sixth-grade alchemist badge on his chest was actually saying that he would place in the top three in this round. Even black treasures were not something just anyone could get.
Among so many alchemists that Hestia Continent had sent, only one of them had gotten a black treasure! Nash could no longer hold back as he frowned at Fane, "Do you know what you're saying? Can you just shut up and stop embarrassing us? Don't you know they're laughing at you?!"
Fane nodded. He was no idiot. He could naturally tell that they were doing everything they could to mock him, but Fane was already immune to all of that.
They could say whatever they wanted to, it was not like he had never heard anything like that before. When Nash saw that Fane nodded calmly, he was stunned before he said in exasperation, "You really are something else!"
