Maurice clenched his teeth and said, "What kind of nonsense are you speaking? Isn't it obvious why we're angry? You've killed our companions so cruelly, and you're asking us why we're angry?!"
Fane sneered as he coldly looked at the furious Maurice, "This is just retribution. You really don't need to be so angry."
Maurice's face reddened in anger as he said, "What retribution?! Stop trying to explain your actions."
Fane raised an eyebrow, not angered by that at all. Instead, he looked even calmer, "Just think about how many warriors you've tortured to death or forced out of Cloud City. Those warriors were just as angry as before. Their anger was caused by all of you, so this is just what you deserve. There isn't anything to get mad at."
Case was trembling from his anger, "Just shut up! Don't think we'll be afraid of you just because you're good at putting up an act! No matter what you say, it won't change what's waiting for you!
"Open your eyes and take a good look. You have nine enemies! Do you really think you're capable of defeating nine enemies? Even if you're one of the top warriors, there's no way you'll be able to beat nine of us. We're not useless!"
Fane raised an eyebrow, looking at all nine of them. To deal with Fane, Case did pull out all the stops as he had found so many strong fellow disciples. All of them were above-average warriors.
Case should have managed to obtain the first stage of his world avatar as well. Fane estimated that Case was probably not the only one among them who had done so. Facing nine opponents really did pressure Fane a bit.
However, that was exactly what he wanted. After entering the Whirling World, Fane had found it hard to find any decent opponents. With the suppression of the strength, very few people could truly threaten Fane with just their techniques alone.
Fane could have clearly not wasted any time in shutting those people up in the Killing Illusion Array, but he had deliberately bet against Jimmy so Jimmy's anger would cause Jimmy to want revenge. It was all for this moment.
Fane took a deep breath and an excited look flashed in his eyes. It did look a bit strange, Maurice, in particular, wondered if he was seeing things. Fane's eyes were actually lit with an eagerness for battle!
Did he really think he would be able to defeat all nine of them? Did he just go crazy from all the pressure of facing such strong opponents or did he actually have that skill? After the last thought flashed in Maurice's mind, Maurice shook his head. That was just absurd.
Fane might be able to beat two or three of them at once, and maybe even four, but it was impossible to beat all nine of them. The nine of them were no weaklings. They had experienced many trials, and many geniuses had died at their hands!
The nine of them would even be able to defeat the strongest warrior in the Whirling World if they worked together! Unless that guy had broken through the limitations of the laws, it was absolutely impossible to beat all of them!
