Facing the crowd, the disciples of the Deer Pavilion trembled in anger. They felt like everyone was causing them trouble for no reason.
At that moment, Arne was incredibly emotional. After all, Lesley had died such a horrible death. Thus, Arne was the first one to verbally engage with the crowd.
"You ignorant fools! You were the ones who were betting so frantically. Did we force you to go place your bets? You were the one who chose who to bet on, so what does it have to do with us?!"
The moment he said that, it was like he had thrown ice into a pot of boiling oil, and it suddenly exploded. Some of the warriors were so emotional that they started to quarrel with the Deer Pavilion.
"How dare you say that! The choice was ours, you say?! Were you not standing there and staring, mocking anyone who betted on the beasts?!"
After Arne heard those accusations, he laughed coldly as he said in disdain, "We were just speaking the truth. We never forced you to choose Lesley! In the end, you were the ones who took out your spirit crystals and betted on Lesley. Who is there to blame? You should've gone against us if you could!"
The moment he said that, some almost spat out blood in their frustration. This guy was crossing the line. He
was actually accusing them of not being firm enough and for not fighting back!
Arne was basically saying that the Deer Pavilion never physically forced them to pick Lesley, and that they were the ones who placed the bet in the end. He basically said that the Deer Pavilion was not to blame for anything.
Even Fane's lips twitched in exasperation after hearing that while Rudy started to tremble in anger. His whole body started to stiffen.
He turned to look at Fane. "These guys are too much, especially that Arne guy! How could he say all of that? He's pinning the blame on others.
