Fane was not the slightest bit threatened. He merely stood in place with a calm expression, waiting for Guzman to make a move. Fane's actions infuriated Guzman. He felt like he was being challenged.
Guzman snorted, "Brat, what are you pretending for? Do you think I'll think you're better than you are just because you're acting like this? Stop trying to put on an act. It's useless against me. No matter how calm you act, I'll still kill you in the end."
Fane's lips twitched helplessly. He thought that Guzman would attack faster if he acted like that. He did not want to waste any time with nonsense, but it seemed like he had to. Sure enough, those warriors who thought too highly of themselves never liked to see his calm expression. They felt like he was challenging them.
Fane sighed in exasperation as he raised an eyebrow and looked at Guzman, "You're just like the rest of them. You just love annoying me with your nonsense. How do you know if I'm putting on an act? Do you think I can't kill you just because you think you're capable of killing me? Aren't you just a warrior from a second-grade world? There's no difference in my eyes."
Fane was not there to broaden his horizons. He had the same plan as the warriors from the second-grade worlds. He wanted to get to the top three placings in the slaughter game. Then, he would be able to get additional treasures. Upon hearing Fane's words, Guzman widened his mouth in surprise, wondering if he had misheard things. Otherwise, he would not have heard something so absurd.
In Guzman's eyes, warriors from third-grade worlds would never dare to challenge him like that. All of the warriors from third-grade worlds should be self-aware enough to lower their heads to him. Yet, he met such an arrogant one.
His lips twitched as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Fane laughed as he was already used to seeing those looks. He continued, "You warriors from second-grade worlds sure love to leave marks on your clothes to show off how special you are. Golden Continent's warriors leave a dark gold pattern, while warriors from the Sacred Water Continent always leave blue clouds. That's how you recognized that I'm from a third-grade world.
"You try your best to show that you're special. You think that warriors from third-grade worlds are just livestock you can kill as you please, but that's a hilarious thought in my eyes. Every world has its strong warriors. You feel so pleased with yourselves just because you haven't met someone truly strong from a third-grade world."
Guzman's hands were trembling from anger. That brat was actually lecturing him and humiliating him. Fane needed to die. He snorted and said, "Brat, do you know what kind of consequences you will suffer because of this? I planned on giving you a quick death because you're my first prey.
"I've changed my mind now. Giving you a quick death would be a reward, and I'm taking it back. I will teach you the consequences of offending me!"
Guzman thought that Fane would pull back after he said that. At the very least, he felt like Fane would not dare to clash against him. Yet, Fane actually laughed after hearing that, and the laughter was full of mockery.
Fane laughed as he said, "I hear these things so regularly. Everyone wants to torture me until I die and have me begging for mercy, but the one suffering, in the end, is always them. I'll admit that second-grade worlds are a bit stronger than third-grade worlds overall, but the warriors at the peak of third-grade worlds can still get rid of you easily."
After saying, that Fane no longer wanted to waste any more time. He did not have a good impression of second-grade worlds after interacting with Golden Continent.
They have always looked down on warriors from third-grade worlds and even felt like third-grade worlds were just full of trash. Even though Fane did not think of Hestia Continent as his home, he still came into the Whirling World from Hestia Continent. He needed to help Hestia Continent gain a bit of honor.
