Nevada Lloyd had a frown on his face as he stared at Fane angrily. When he saw the smile on Fane's face, Nevada's rage soared even more.
He shot up from his mat, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fane, and gritted his teeth. "Are you planning on challenging me?"
He was practically hissing at this point, and it was obvious how angry Nevada was at Fane.
Fane looked like he was grocery shopping, making a huge round before stopping in front of Nevada. His behavior made Nevada feel insulted, even though he had been chosen. He felt like he was trampling all over his dignity!
The more Nevada thought about it, the angrier he got. His hands even started to shake slightly. He looked at Fane as if he wanted to rip Fane apart.
Meanwhile, Fane looked right at Nevada. Nevada's sleeves had golden patterns on them, meaning Nevada was from the Golden Continent. Yet another person who thought too highly of himself.
He snorted and said, "You're just sitting here, and you already set up a board. The bet setters are naturally the ones who would be sitting here. As a bet-taker, shouldn't I be challenging you? If I'm not allowed to challenge you, why didn't you just write it down on the board that you won't accept challenges from anyone stronger than you?"
Those words infuriated Nevada even more. His lips twitched, and even his body started to quake. "You think too highly of yourself! Do you know who I am? I'm from the White Phoenix Clan, a holy-grade clan. I'm a chosen disciple!"
He had practically shouted out those words as if he wanted to prove how laughable Fane's actions were. He wanted to scare Fane as well, not wanting him to take things too far. Being chosen by Fane like that insulted Nevada greatly.
Fane did not even bother raising an eyebrow at those words. He looked at Nevada calmly as if he was spouting nonsense.
Noticing how passive Fane was, Nevada nearly hyperventilated in anger and finally understood Dan's anger.
Nevada pointed right at Fane's face. "You brat. You've already offended the Azure Clan! Are you going to offend the White Phoenix Clan too? Are you not worried that you're making so many enemies for yourself?"
Hearing that, Fane said in disdain, "I think you're the one who thinks too highly of himself. Do you really think you're anyone impressive? Even if there are a lot of chances in the inner city, grouping up to attack still isn't allowed. Unless you get your friends to attack me with you, you'll need to fight me alone. The White Phoenix Clan and the Azure Clan are both beneath my notice."
Fane was merely honest with his words and was not exaggerating anything at all. When Nevada heard this, however, he was deeply angered. After all, Fane had insulted both himself and his clan.
He took a deep breath and snarled, "You think you can face all of the disciples from the two holy-grade clans alone?!"
Nevada scoffed upon hearing Fane's words. He felt like the man in front of him could no longer be described as just 'arrogant'. Fane was already at the level of being crazy. Did he not know what he was saying?
One person going up against two holy-grade clans… He had said it so casually, too!
It was as if Fane could easily do it! Did he think that he was a chosen disciple of a major clan from a first-grade world? Nevada sneered and said, "Do you even know what you're saying?!"
Of course, Fane knew what he was saying and implying. Thus, not wanting to dwell on the problem, he chuckled and said, "Don't you want to show me my place just like Dan? Hurry up. I'm in a hurry to know!"
