"He'd probably been flattered too much to the degree that he doesn't know his actual level. That's how he managed to trick everyone to bet on him!"
"This guy is right! Everything has been proven! It really is too much. It's so frustrating! We never had much as wandering warriors, but we were tricked by all of you into betting our money on a piece of trash!
"I feel like coughing up blood just thinking about it! I was actually tricked by a piece of trash who only knows how to brag. It's embarrassing just thinking about it!"
"Stop with the nonsense and pay me back for my losses. You were the ones who tricked us! Claiming to be a chosen disciple from the Deer Pavilion when he had gotten his position through other means! How shameless!"
"That's right! Hurry up and pay us back. I don't want to hear your explanations anymore! The more you try, the worse it sounds! All of you are just trash who don't have the skills to back up your positions!"
In truth, everyone knew that there was a very low chance that they would be paid back. They still let out just to vent their frustrations.
Arne had never been so humiliated in his whole life. Facing all those accusations and doubts, Arne was
incredibly furious. His body started to tremble from everything.
The Deer Pavilion disciples all turned red in anger as well. Everyone started to cry out for Arne and the rest to pay them back, feeling like they were a group of scammers! Facing the noise that was getting louder and louder, Arne could no longer hold back.
He shouted out, "Why would I have to pay you back? You bet the spirit crystals yourselves. It has nothing to do with us! What that brat said earlier was all just imagined by him. It's not the truth at all!"
Fane raised an eyebrow, saying calmly, "How is it not the truth? Did I lose my bet? Did Lesley actually win his match? That beast was not all that strong, but Lesley still lost and died so horribly that even his corpse was charred.
"How many matches have gone on in the colosseum? How many of them were actually killed by the beast? One of them was Lesley. You claimed that it's because he's unlucky, but I feel like it's just because he's too weak!"
Fane's words were incredibly agreeable to everyone. All of them felt like Fane was speaking the truth. Arne was so furious that he kept on opening and shutting his mouth, mainly because he did not know how to respond.
After all, Lesley really did die in the end. Even his corpse was completely blackened. It was definitely the truth. No matter what he says, there was no way to convince everyone!
Fane looked at Arne with some disdain. That look seemed to be saying to Arne that Fane had used Arne's own methods against him.
At Fane's look, Arne suddenly froze. He felt like a volcano that had thoroughly erupted.
He took a step forward and shouted loudly, "I will prove everything that I said! Lesley and I definitely became chosen disciples on our own merits!
"Lesley and I are about equal in strength. I'll use myself to clear Lesley's name!"
