He could not believe that an expert like that was hidden among the 10, but who was it? Why had he failed to sense that person before?
Chris had a certain level of understanding of Edward. From the attacks, the two of them had not died to Edward. Who was this, then? How did this person hide everything so well that even Chris failed to notice?
At that moment, Chris was no longer in the mood to care about Fane. The first thing he needed to do was to find this person before making his plans. He could leave the others aside for the moment, but this person had to die.
He could not leave this person to live on. If he did, unforeseen surprises might happen!
Chris' eyebrows furrowed tightly as his expression soured. He had thought that winning the slaughter gambit would be incredibly easy, but it seemed like he had been too optimistic.
He took a deep breath as he looked up. The clear skies had no clouds in them, and everything looked incredibly peaceful. However, he knew that the slaughter had already begun. If he did not want to die to that mysterious person, he had to make his moves carefully.
At the junction between the jungle and desert regions…
A dense forest was to the east, while to the west was an endless wasteland. The border was clearly defined, making for a magnificent sight.
However, there were two people in there at that moment in no mood to admire the scenery at all. Trevor frowned as he stared at Marco Reus in front of him unblinkingly.
Marco was truly a daredevil. He had no background and relied on himself to get to where he was. When he looked at Trevor, who was from a high-grade clan, Marco was filled with disgust.
He hated these so-called 'geniuses' who grew up in a life of luxury. He felt that true growth only came from experiencing life and death, walking at the edge of danger.
Even if he knew that someone as strong as Chris was taking part in the slaughter gambit, he did not back down. Chris was strong, but Marco was no weakling either.
With a trick or two, Marco stood a chance to win in the end. As long as he could win, he would not only be able to greatly benefit from it, but win the applause of everyone as well. He would gain the admiration of everyone and gain irreplaceable glory!
Meanwhile…
Trevor might have a serious expression, but he was not too worried. He knew the person in front of him. Both of them came from White Marsh Continent, and he had heard of Marco's name before.
When Trevor saw that Marco was looking at him in disdain, Trevor's expression soured. Being looked down on by a wandering warrior was a massive insult.
Trevor snorted coldly. "Are you looking at me with that expression because you think I'm not that highly ranked? Are you looking down on me because my odds aren't good?"
Hearing that, Trevor himself started to get angry. Marco was just a wandering warrior with no background. How dare Marco look at him with those eyes? It was a joke!
Marco snorted before he said, "I am looking down on you, yes. There's nothing about you that's worth my notice. Even though you're from the Pentagram Clan, you're only in the top fifteen at most. Among the ten warriors here, you're only average at most. Of course I'd look down on you!"
