As Rudy waited for Fane's next plans excitedly, another uninvited guest appeared in front of them. It was Trevor... and the Pentagram Clan's disciples.
The next death match had already started, and the spectators were focused on the next participants. No one was paying attention to this side.
Trevor's anger had slowly dissipated, but the sinister look in his eyes had deepened. He looked at Fane incredibly venomously.
Rudy immediately recognized that these were the people that mocked him and called him various harsh insults. It was the perfect time to fight back.
Rudy walked forward and said to them, " Next time, please look at yourselves in the mirror before you call anyone ignorant. Didn't you say that Ethan was very strong? How did he die so badly?
"He was writhing on the floor for so long that his body was covered in dirt. He was no different than a beggar in the streets."
The disciples immediately rushed forward when they heard that. Their faces were red, ready to fight Rudy at the next moment, but Rudy was not worried at all.
Middle city was not the wilderness. If they wanted to fight, they would need to be able to withstand a lightning strike first.
Trevor reached his hand out to pull them back. It was not the time to be impulsive, and he had somehow accepted the truth." Don't be reckless; their days are numbered anyway. The Pentagram Clan will definitely get him back for everything he did today!" Rudy and Fane were already used to threats like that. Fane looked at Trevor curiously, feeling something strange about what Trevor said.
After a moment, Fane smiled and said, "It makes sense now."
Rudy tilted his head and asked, "What?"
Fane took a step forward, saying to Trevor," No wonder you were so anxious. On the stage, you promised me so much just to make me stop. So it was because of that!"
Fane had a smile on his face as he spoke. Trevor frowned, and the rage he had suppressed once again boiled. His anger surged when he saw how Fane was acting. He was tempted to start fighting with Fane.
Thankfully, he managed to suppress that urge. "Stop trying to imply things!" Fane snorted and said, "I’m not. It’s not like I didn't hear what you said to Ethan before. Your relationship with him is clearly nothing great, so why did you care so much about him being alive?
"I thought about it, you know? It's probably because you’ll be punished by the Pentagram Clan's higher-ups for his death, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't care that Ethan's dead."
Trevor frowned as he got angrier. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? I was anxious because he was a clan member! Stop trying to apply your standards onto others!"
Fane sneered. "Am I? Stop trying to make yourself look good. Just look at your guilty expression-anyone can see it. Don't you hate me so much that you want to kill me yourself right now?"
