Yet, those ten immediately averted their gazes. They either looked down at the ground or started to look left and right. At their expressions, Cloud's group felt a chill in their spines. All of them knew it was a fiery situation that they could not jump into.
No one dared to be the hero at a time like this. Saving the others was basically the equivalent of jumping into a volcano. When it concerned sharing benefits, everyone acted like good friends. When it came to their own safety, all those friendships were thrown out the window.
Cloud's lips trembled, "What is the meaning of this? We said that we would share everything and survive this together! Why aren't you even willing to sign up now?"
The other ten all looked incredibly reluctant. Even though Cloud and the others were questioning them, they still refused to sign up in such a situation.
Those warriors from second-grade worlds were obviously already prepared. They planned on killing everyone who entered. If that other ten signed up at that moment, it would be the equivalent of throwing their own lives away. They were naturally reluctant to do that. Looking at that scene, Eduardo started to laugh out loud.
"It looks like your good friends aren't even looking at you anymore. All this talk about revenge and paying the price, you can't even do that. They're already sure that you'll die inside. Even though we won't do anything, they still think you'll die. Your brothers don't have any faith in you at all…"
The moment he said that, Eduardo heard a low voice, "The two of us will sign up!" That voice attracted everyone's gaze.
The crowd had been too focused on quarreling, so they never noticed that someone had walked over to sign up. When they turned to look, they saw two figures standing there.
After Fane wrote his name down, he calmly turned around. His familiar face appeared in front of everyone. The warriors from second-grade worlds started to panic at that. Eduardo still maintained his mocking expression, but it was obvious that his face had stiffened when he saw Fane.
Cloud's lips troubled as he said in disbelief, "Fane?" Fane nodded, calmly looking at Cloud. When Cloud saw Fane nod, no one could remain calm.
Eduardo looked like his tail had been stepped on, "You want to take part in this? Why are you taking part in the Demon Spirit Kingdom?! How can you…"
Before he could finish, Fane interrupted him, "Am I not allowed to participate? Which rule in Weinhord City states that I can't?"
The warriors from the second-grade worlds started to panic at that. All of their faces froze, and they looked like they had eaten a fly. Fane's appearance had thrown their plans into disarray. With Fane around, it was hard to say who would survive.
Eduardo's hands trembled, "What is the meaning of this?! Are you insisting on going against us?"
When Fane heard that, he showed a confused expression, "What do you mean? Why would I take part in the Demon Spirit Kingdom going against you warriors from third-grade worlds?
"Didn't you say you wouldn't do anything? I've never been someone to do anything to those who don't touch me. If you won't do anything, then I won't do anything either. Since we're just going to coexist in peace, why would you think I'm going against all of you?"
Hearing that, quite a few warriors from third-grade worlds could not hold back their laughter. Fane's words hit it right on the spot, using what those warriors from second-grade worlds had said right back at them.
