"What do you mean by that?!" Rudy clenched his teeth, "You're just not being reasonable at all. You talk like we're scamming you! Tell me, how did this whole conflict even start? Were we the ones trying to cut the queue? Were we the ones who challenged you first?"
Jimmy shot back, "We were the ones who cut the queue! So what? Was I the one who mentioned the bet?"
"You!" Rudy almost bit his tongue in his anger. Fane reached out and pulled Rudy back. There was no reason to fight like that.
In truth, it was still very rowdy everywhere else except where they were as it was dead silent because of the fight.
Fane took a deep breath and put on a calm expression. Jimmy's words had been nasty. Jimmy was just trying to accuse Fane without any regard for the truth. Any warrior who was not as calm as he was would have probably been fuming in anger by then.
However, Fane never showed any emotion the whole time. No matter what Jimmy said, Fane was indifferent to it.
Fane's tone was calm, "You're not worthy."
It was just three words, but those three words alone had managed to clear most of his name.
That was right! It was just that simple. Jimmy was not worthy! Who did he think he was? The two of them had yet to fight one another, but it was obvious who was stronger after the Killing Illusion Array.
Fane could definitely trample all over Jimmy. Even if Jimmy used his full might, Jimmy could not do anything to Fane. There was too big of a gulf between them.
Someone on the level of Fane would not care about forty million spirit crystals at all. There was no need for him to trick a warrior that was weaker than him either.
Fane had woken everyone up. Jimmy's face looked incredibly dark. His heart felt like it was burning. No matter what he said, it would not change the difference in their strength.
Strength was the most convincing thing. Jimmy's whole body was shuddering from the anger, but there was nothing he could do. There was an insurmountable gap between them that no amount of words could cover.
Fane sneered, "I bet against you so you will feel how bad it was when you lost. I wanted to show you how much of a joke your actions were in my eyes!"
Jimmy's fists were tightly clenched while trembling. His lips were pursed, unable to say anything. The more he acted like that, the more amused Fane was, "Remember our agreement. I'll wait for you at the fog battlefield. I trust you won't go against your words."
Fane looked at Jimmy one last time before bringing Rudy into Cloud Valley, no longer sparing Jimmy another glance.
Looking at Fane leaving, everyone was speechless. Jimmy's eyes widened as he clenched his teeth in hatred. That person said he would be waiting at the fog battlefield, that he hoped they would not go back on their words!
What did that person mean? It was obvious that the person wanted to kill him!
"You won't get what you want! You're stronger than me, but are you stronger than everyone from the Swelling Tide Continent?"
