"He had been adamant in saying that he only lost because of Fane's tricks and that he was just unlucky. Why did he suddenly accept the truth just like that? What did he say to him? Someone tell me! I'm so curious!"
Fane had lowered his voice when he knelt and spoke to him. This meant that Fane had told Luther a secret, and it shocked Luther so badly that he accepted his fate after knowing it.
It was a drastic change. He even accepted Fane's ridicule. It meant that the secret must be incredible, enough for Luther to admit his defeat.
Because of that, everyone desperately wanted to know what was said, but they had not been there. No matter how they thought about it, they could not figure it out. All of them were frantically scratching their heads like monkeys.
…
In the isolated space, a man in light purple robes arrived just five minutes after Fane left. He shot over incredibly quickly. Chris had not stopped at all the whole way. He was worried that he would lose track of Fane or that someone else would beat him to it.
Even from a distance, Chris could see someone lying down on the ground. Before he could see who it was, he assumed that it was Fane and thus cursed, "What dog killed my prey? They better not let me find out, or I'll tear them to shreds!"
Fane had to die, but it had to be done with his hands to vent Fane the hatred he felt. Fane's earlier actions had not only stomped on his dignity but insulted his character as well. Even if Fane was crazy, Chris would never forgive him!
He had said that he would make Fane pay for it. He would let Fane know the consequences of offending him. He wanted to see Fane struggling to survive, only for him to fail.
He glared at the corpse lying on the ground as a string of curses left him. Someone had stolen his chance of killing Fane. No wonder the mark he had left on Fane slowly disappeared; Fane was already killed off!
Without Fane's life to support it, the mark would slowly fade away.
