Some managed to guess, but most of them were still trapped in confusion. All of them frowned, anxious to know the answer. The passionate discussions did not stop things from going on as they should. After being sure that the beast was dead, the masked caretaker walked up the stage steadily.
He raised his hand and waved, "Challenger, please exit the stage. The stage needs to undergo maintenance. The second match will commence in five minutes."
Fane nodded as he turned around and left the stage. He looked around at the passionate crowd. At that moment, even the calmest warriors were deep in discussions.
Fane had planned to return to the spectator stands since Rudy was still there. Yet, when he saw how thirsty everyone was for more information, Fane immediately changed his mind. He did not want to bother talking to them at all. They could assume whatever they wanted to.
After all, only one match had ended. After three battles were all done would those people stop insulting him. Fane knew very well that even though he had won the first battle, those people with sinister intentions would still be incredibly focused on belittling and insulting him.
A lot of people would probably just say that he got lucky, and that his luck would not keep on holding out. Winning the first out of three did not mean anything. Only by winning all three in a row would he be able to truly prove his strength.
Thinking about that, Fane let out a light
laugh as he turned away, not even bothering to spare a second glance at the audience. The warriors in the audience were about to go crazy.
They had thought that Fane would return to the spectator stands during the break. Then they would be able to get some answers to their questions. Yet, Fane did not seem intent on returning at all. He merely stood on the stage quietly looking at the caretakers cleaning up the stage as he waited for the second match to commence.
The warriors on the spectator stand pulled their hairs in frustration, really wanting to know the answer. They had complicated moods in their hearts.
