Rudy's lips twitched. He had almost let his emotions carry him away. If Fane had not stopped him, he would have fallen for it. That guy just wanted to anger him to the point where Rudy would end him while Fane was distracted. He did not dare to kill himself, because he was worried that Fane would react in time. It would be the worst for him if Fane managed to react in time when he tried to kill himself.
Rudy sighed, not wanting to continue on with this. He was afraid that he would be tricked again. So, he rubbed his nose and stood back.
Fane coldly looked at the panther-masked man. He knelt down slowly as he said plainly, "Do you really want to die right now?"
The panther-masked man's lips stiffened as he looked at Fane in alarm. After a long moment, he said in a low voice, "I can't believe I was so unlucky to meet such a genius. I'll admit that there are geniuses in third grade worlds, but meeting someone like you is not even a one in twenty chance. I can't believe I was so unlucky to meet one.
"I'll admit it! I'll admit your talent and skills are amazing, but I won't retract my words. You warriors from third grade worlds are just prey. As long as we want to, we can slaughter all of you!"
As he said that, he looked right into Fane's eyes. When Rudy heard that, he clenched his fists, wanting to rush forward and slap the person. However, he held back after what happened earlier, looking at the panther-masked man in anger.
Fane smirked as he said, "Are you not afraid I'll torture you?"
The man's hands shook, but he quickly calmed down. He took a deep breath as he looked at Fane with a cold gaze, "What's the point of being afraid? If I'm afraid and I beg you for mercy, would you let me go? It's impossible. I know my place. Since that's the case, why would I toss aside my dignity to beg you?!"
After saying that, he struggled to get up from the ground. He supported his body with one hand as he looked up at Fane shakily with a resolved gaze.
He said with a hoarse voice, "Even if you torture me, you can't torture me for that long. Don't forget, your companions are being attacked right now. If you're too late, they'll all die. Are you going to just let them die?"
Fane raised an eyebrow after he heard that. He looked at the masked man with some interested. That guy was definitely quick with his words. In the end, the guy was afraid of Fane torturing him. Otherwise, he would not have said all of that. He wanted Fane to quickly end him and head over to help his companions.
Fane scoffed, saying with disdain, "They aren't my companions. We're just working together. We've only known each other for half a day…"
The moment he said that, Fane looked as the man's body completely stiffened, not expecting Fane's relationship with them to be so shallow.
