Quinton turned to stare at Chad, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? The situation further in is even more complicated. I heard that the fighting there is already at a stage where there's no winning. No one is willing to give in, and more people are dying."
Chad raised an eyebrow, clearly not agreeing with what Quinton said. If it was before, Chad would have not dwelled on the problem. Yet, ever since he got to know Fane, he felt like a lot of things had been cleared up. Was Fane weak? Even compared to those self-proclaimed heroes, he was no slouch.
Yet, Fane never looked down on him. Fane would not ignore any cries for help and let the warriors from third-grade worlds be oppressed. Comparing the two sides, Chad could no longer hold it in.
"The situation there is even more complicated, but it's not like they can't help us at all. They clearly just aren't willing to. The moment they have to give anything up, they just don't care about us.
"Even though we can't say that what they're doing is wrong, they keep on putting themselves on such a high pedestal. They just give us all sorts of orders, and they punish anyone who doesn't follow what they want! They abuse their power but are never responsible when they need to be. Who do they think they are?"
As he said that, Chad never lowered his voice, and the people around them could hear everything clearly. Quite a few of them looked around, but no one voiced out to agree or deny it. Everyone knew the situation, but no one wanted to talk about it.
If they were heard saying anything, the consequences would be bad. Chad did not care at that moment, he felt like they could do whatever they wanted to. Chad just needed to voice out his thoughts.
Quinton anxiously pulled Chad's arm, "Shut up! What are you talking about?! Do you think you're qualified to talk about this?! The strong have their own things to do. You're not them. You wouldn't know."
Quinton was trying to stop Chad. Chad raised an eyebrow, deciding not to continue for Quinton's sake, but he was still unhappy. Rudy looked at Robert and raised an eyebrow, whispering to Chad, "What's this about the inside and outside? Are the stronger warriors all inside?"
Chad nodded, "The inner region is the main battlefield for fighting over rings. I heard some of them even have fifty rings on them. Compared to the inner region, the outer region isn't worth anything. They wouldn't easily come to the outer region, and would only fight over the keys in the inner region.
"Even if the outer region is suffering heavy losses, and even if we're currently going through a large-scale fight here, to the strong, it's just as simple as a few people dying. It's nothing worth thinking about…"
As he said that, Chad paused. There was a serious expression on his face, "I'm actually very surprised that Robert is here. With how he is, he would never have come here so easily. Something must have happened inside, or he must think that this battle will affect his own profits.
Rudy nodded. Chad's words were very reasonable. Those so-called strong warriors never bothered with anything unless it concerned themselves. Otherwise, they would not care about the deaths of other warriors from third-grade worlds.
Chad narrowed his eyes slightly as he continued, "Even more despicable is the fact that they just casually issue orders whenever they think we'd be useful. It's as if we're just their slaves.”
