After having his fill of laughter, Edson jeeringly remarked, "Do you think we'll just believe what you say? If you were a genius or someone slightly strong, we'd be able to tell in an instant. We'd have been on guard, but you're not. You're just an idiot trying to act like you're strong in front of us!"
Hearing that, Fane had a curious glint in his eyes. There was a thought in his mind. Could these people have looked into all of the geniuses of third-grade worlds? Could they have remembered everyone who was skilled?
Comparatively, he was sort of a dark horse that had suddenly appeared, so he was not among those geniuses. That was why no one knew him.
Hector raised four fingers. "In this slaughter game, there are only four noteworthy warriors from third-grade worlds, and we've memorized how all four of them look like. As long as we meet them, we'd be on guard. However, not a single one of them looks like you.
"Stop with the act; don't think that we're idiots. We didn't just take part in the slaughter game for those five million spirit crystals, and we have more important things to do."
Fane slowly nodded. If he did not know those secrets, he might not have understood what they meant. However, he knew very well what they meant after he found out about the Heartblood.
The Heartblood was incredibly important to them.
They had spent a great deal of effort crafting a map of the slaughter game. After that, they put up a gathering point and sent out a lot of strong second-grade world warriors inside the slaughter game to retrieve the Heartblood. They had to have some grand plan for it, and to prevent unnecessary events from happening, they would naturally have observed the participating warriors from third-grade worlds.
The moment they saw any strong warriors from third-grade worlds entering, they would immediately take note and notify all participating second-grade world warriors, thus preventing bigger problems from arising.
Fane sighed as he started to look around.
He did not know why they were collecting so much Heartblood, but he had decided to find out before having them pay for it. If it was something beneficial, he would take it for himself.
After thinking about that, Fane no longer hesitated.
He looked up at Hector and Edson, coldly saying, "I'd advise the two of you to treat this seriously, then I'd at least have a good time killing you. If you look down on me, then it'll feel like I'm just killing livestock. It'll be too boring."
The moment he said that, Edson and Hector's expressions soured.
Hector said with a huff, "Brat! You're really crossing the line here. Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant you your wish!"
Christian started to try and struggle against his chains, but the chains were made with a special material. He was heavily injured as well, so he was not capable of running, though he still tried to put up a fight.
He struggled as he shouted at Fane, "Just hurry and leave while you can! Are you crazy?! You'll be tortured if they capture you!"
Jackson shook his head helplessly. He sighed, already resigning Fane to a fate that was worse than the two of them. If they were going to be tortured for four hours before they were killed, then Fane would be tortured for eight.
