When Florian heard Fane's words, he scoffed in anger. He had the same reaction as Manson. The two of them had more or less the same personality. Fane expected that response as well.
Florian laughed as he said, "You think I'm the one heaping praises on myself? It's funny that you say that because I should be the one saying that to you! You're hilarious. I wonder what's in your head!"
As he said that, Florian coldly looked at Fane as if Fane was a complete idiot. No matter how Florian looked at him, Fane still had the same calm expression on his face. It was like nothing would affect his mood at all.
Fane calmly continued, "Everyone knows how to brag, but not many can back it up. I'm still going to say the same thing. If you're so arrogant, then use your skills to prove yourself. Otherwise, you're still just a braggart!"
After he said that, Fane walked forward. His hands constantly moved, forming seal after seal. He was about to attack, which stunned Florian. His lips twitched, not expecting that Fane was being serious. Florian thought that Fane had just been trying to mess around. He never expected that Fane would actually stand out to fight him alone.
Florian got frustrated as he thought about it. He felt like he needed to teach Fane a lesson. However, before he did anything, Florian felt like there were still some things he needed to make clear.
He scoffed as he raised an eyebrow, saying, "Fighting you alone would be doing you a favor. However, I feel like I should grant you your wish since you want to die so much. I'll teach you a lesson myself. However, you need to answer one of my questions before that."
Fane laughed and said, "Are you trying to ask me how Manson fell to my hands?"
Florian's lips froze as surprise flashed in his eyes. Fane was smart, guessing what he wanted to say before he even said it.
Fane continued, "Manson fought against me. He lost, and I captured him. That's what happened."
Florian sneered, "I refuse to believe that! No matter how weak Manson is, he's still a chosen disciple of a holy grade clan. Even though he's not that highly ranked, his skills are still solid.
"You must have used some tricks to capture him, and I think that you probably want to do the same to me! However, you should stop with those thoughts. In front of absolute skill, your tricks are all worthless!"
Fane raised an eyebrow, almost starting to laugh. He really did use some tricks. And Florian was right, Fane was using the same tricks on Florian. It was a pity that Florian did not believe Fane when Fane was being honest.
Since that was the case, Fane did not want to waste any time. He laughed and said, "You can think whatever you want, but I don't really like listening to pointless chatter, nor do I like listening to people bragging. If you're really so strong, show me!"
There was no need to continue after what was said. Florian had completely been angered by Fane's casual attitude. Fane's words were incredibly harsh to his ears.
Florian said, "Since you want to die in my hands so much, I'll grant you your wish!"
