Fane sighed helplessly as he muttered in his heart.' Why are the results not announced yet? Ethan would definitely not stop talking if they did not announce it soon!'
Fane could not be bothered to listen, but it was not like Ethan would stop talking if Fane ignored him. Instead, he would just be laughed at even more. To avoid all that trouble, Fane turned to look at Ethan.
"How should I be acting? Are the results even out yet? Why are you trying to cause a scene like this..."
Ethan's face twitched in surprise as he looked at Fane and replied, "Do you really think that you won't lose? Do you still think you can win and get a treasure?"
The exasperation in Ethan's voice was incredibly evident. He really wanted to know where Fane got his courage from. Even now, Fane was still talking back to Ethan with such indignance.
He seemed even more confident than Emilio, but no one knew where that confidence came from. Ethan laughed in frustration as he looked at Fane with a frown.
He thought for a long time before he said, "You really do surprise me. I've met some stubborn people, but no one nearly as stubborn as you before. Can you tell me where you got your confidence from?"
Ethan was being honest with his words. He really did not know how Fane was so confident. Could it be just purely blind confidence? Did Fane think he was the best in the world?
It was the first time he had met someone like Fane. Unless Fane was just a complete madman and spoke without any reasoning, Fane definitely must have a source of confidence.
Yet, Ethan could not understand how that could be the case for a mere sixth-grade alchemist. Fane lightly snorted, turning away. When it came to a question like that, the other party would not believe him no matter what he said.
He merely said coldly, "No matter how much you want to say, wait till the results are out to say them. Before the results are announced, I don't want to waste any more time on you!"
Those words completely stunned everyone there, including Emilio. Emilio blinked as he looked at Fane speechlessly. At that moment, he was just as curious as Ethan.
He wanted to know why Fane was so confident in himself. Ethan's lips twitched as he started to be filled with exasperation. Fane was way too unique. There was no way to deal with Fane normally.
A sixth-grade alchemist like Fane wanted to talk about things only after the results are out? Even their leader, Nash, only had a less than fifty percent chance of getting a black treasure, let alone someone like Fane.
Yet, Fane seemed to be telling everyone that he had already secured the treasure.
Ethan let out a laugh, "Have you forgotten about our bet? You have to get a treasure for you to win, which means you have to place in the top three. You think you can beat the other alchemists here and place among the top three?"
Fane took a deep breath, trying to make sure his tone was calm, "If I felt like my skills were not good enough, then I wouldn't have placed that bet against you. Since I've already placed the bet and signed a contract, I won't go back on it. Of course, I remember the bet. Now, can you shut up and just quietly wait for the results..."
