Fane garnered a lot of attention when he stood up. Just as everyone was wondering what Fane wanted to do, he slowly left the spectator area and walked toward the betting area. A few people were stunned at the sight.
"What's he doing? Is he trying to place a bet? How can he even be thinking about that right now?"
"Who knows? This guy has never done anything sane. He looks like he's going to participate in the bets. Who's he planning on betting on?"
"It doesn't matter who he bets on; he won't bet on Percy for sure. I think this guy is just trying to provoke Percy by going to place his bet on a weaker warrior!"
"There's no reason to do that, though. I think Percy will just think that he's doing something pointless. He won't be angered by this at all. What's the man thinking?"
Just like that, the discussions got louder. Everyone was trying to guess what Fane was doing. Was he going to place a bet? Who would he bet on in the end?
Rowan and the others naturally heard those discussions as well. All of them turned to look at Fane's retreating back at the same time. Rowan gritted his teeth. "This brat…"
He hated Fane to the core. He wanted to rip the man apart, but he could not attack due to the rules. There was no reason in arguing with Fane, though. After all, the fool was a madman, and arguing with him would be doing himself a disservice.
However, he could not stop himself from the rage and frustration that coursed through him. At that moment, no matter what Fane did, Rowan would just feel intense anger. He gritted his teeth and looked at Fane. "What's that dog trying to do now?"
Nymm frowned and said, "Who knows what he's doing? It won't be anything good, regardless. This guy is acting as he pleases because of the rules here. Unless he decides to never step out of the restricted areas, we'll make sure he regrets everything he did when the moment comes."
Rowan nodded emphatically. "I don't think this guy is an idiot. He's probably just pretending to be one to provoke us. He's probably already planned that he won't leave the restricted areas so easily, wanting to wait here quietly until the Whirling World closes. He thinks we won't be able to do anything to him after that!"
Rowan laughed as a cold look flashed in his eyes. "What an idiot! Even if he's lucky enough to leave the Whirling World alive, we won't let him off the hook. There are no flawless walls. We will be able to figure out who he is. When the time comes, this brat won't be the only one to suffer, but his clan will too! He needs to pay a heavy price for what he did today!"
"Can the two of you calm down? What's the point of trying to be so petty with a crazy person?" Randall said. As the second strongest disciple and someone who stood at the peak, his words carried a lot of weight.
Rowan and Nymm immediately fell silent. From the start, Randall had not spared Fane a second glance at all. Even if Fane insulted the Star Continent and had not held back his words, Randall maintained a calm expression the whole time. He had not shown too much emotion, but that did not mean he was not angry.
