"Fane has never been afraid! He's always been like this and has never put on an act. Dan's just assuming things!"
"Stop trying to make yourselves look good. Open your eyes and see. Can't you tell that you have it wrong? Do you really think that Fane's not putting up an act? Even Viktor has lost to Dan, how could he win?!
"Even though he won earlier, he just beat someone Dan has already defeated before. If Dan was facing Nevada, he wouldn't have taken long to win in the first place. Don't forget how long Fane took against Nevada!"
"That's right. The truth is clearly displayed in front of all of you. You warriors from Hestia Continent are just acting like you didn't see it to put Fane on a pedestal. You're speaking all sorts of nonsense!"
The eastern area was boisterous. Even though the warriors of Hestia Continent were only a few, they had finally found the chance to speak up after being pushed down for so long. They naturally seized the chance, not holding back as they argued against the warriors of Golden Continent. They shouted until their throats were sore, but they were quite excited.
Even though they did not actually think that Fane could win, they just did not want to listen to the warriors from Golden Continent constantly slander and insult Fane like he was not worth anything at all. They were insulting Hestia Continent as well, which the warriors could not accept.
Fane raised his eyebrow in mild surprise when he saw that some were speaking up for him. It was not like the warriors from Hestia Continent had never been on his side, but it was usually after he had already won. It was the first time they were defending him before the results were even out.
Even though that would not make Fane feel touched, he was still a little enlighted nevertheless.
Dan took a deep breath and sneered at Fane, "Do you enjoy having others protect you? The more they do so, the worse your defeat will look. You'll definitely lose later. You'll know in just a moment. Those protecting you will end up using harsh words to insult you later. Don't cry when that happens."
Fane could not help but frown when he heard that, getting more and more displeased with Dan. That guy was incredibly frustrating and kept on acting as if he stood above everyone else.
If it was not for the restrictions, he would have punched Dan right in the face to wake Dan up. Fane raised an eyebrow, discarding all those stray thoughts. It was because he knew very well that the best way to shut Dan up was to hurry and start the gamble.
"The Enlightened Soul Root is something good. It's a waste that it's in your hands," As he said that, Fane revealed no emotions. It was like he was talking about something incredibly simple.
He suddenly looked up and stared right at Dan, "I should be thanking you for giving me what I need the most."
When he heard that, Dan was stunned. After that, the anger shot right to his head. Fane was too arrogant. Fane had basically declared that he would win and that he would get the Enlightened Soul Root. After the brief surge of anger, he was speechless.
