Stephen was fuming in anger as he spoke. His hands constantly trembled. He felt like Cloud was treating the warriors from second-grade worlds like idiots. He was crossing the line!
Those Demon Spirit Beasts were as cowardly as rats, running at the sight of any human. If Carlton crossed paths with them and they were not fast enough, they would be killed by Carlton immediately. How could he have been the one to be killed by them?!
Eduardo was about to laugh from frustration, "Cloud! Just because Fane's around, doesn't mean you can live without fear! Fane is strong, but as long as we all attack together, we can still kill you!"
Cloud's lips twitched in exasperation. He could feel that Stephen and the others were so angry because they felt like he was deliberately insulting Carlton, but he really did not have any intentions like that. He was just speaking the truth.
Kesh was even more exasperated. He reached out to pat Cloud on the shoulder, gesturing for Cloud not to continue. He took a step forward and said to the warriors from second-grade worlds, "Cloud isn't trying to play around with all of you. He's speaking the truth. You have people who have gone missing on your side, so do we. We only have thirteen of our men. Two of them had gone missing.
"Just like Carlton, the marks we left on them have been forcibly removed as well. We should be suspecting that you're the ones who did it, but we don't! It's because something happened to Fane when he was coming to meet the rest of us!"
Stephen and the others did not know what they were saying at all.
Stephen scoffed before he said, "Don't try to confuse us with some weird excuses! The truth is right in front of us. Unless you have proof, no one will believe you!"
Kesh was just about to say something when Fane stopped him. Fane coldly looked at Stephen and the others, and a thought surfaced in his mind. Even though he did not really want to do that since he really did not like them, the situation forced him into it.
After all, he did not know what would happen after they found out what was going on in the Demon Spirit Kingdom. He did not know how strong the so-called king was, and if he could even go against it. Before all those questions were made clear, he needed to make plans for every situation.
Fane coughed as he frowned and said, "Let me ask you something! Tell me, if you say that I killed Carlton, then why wouldn't I admit it? Why would I act innocent in front of you guys?"
Eduardo scoffed, "How would we know that? We're the ones who should ask you that. Why aren't you admitting it?"
Fane took a deep breath. It took patience dealing with idiots. Fane replied, "Because it was not me! Just think about it. Carlton should be dead, but he did not die to me instead he was killed by the Demon Spirit Beasts! We have two over here in the same situation. I was hunted by beasts on the way here!"
When that was said, all of the warriors from second-grade worlds opened their eyes in disbelief.
