Sure enough, the Capture Hall was fair and just; it did not ignore a single detail.
Rowan was furious and wanted to start screaming at Fane, but he could not even begin to find the right words. After all, everyone else seemed to believe Fane even though he genuinely wanted to fight back.
Right at that moment, a firm hand fell on his shoulder, patting it gently. Rowan turned to see Percy with a cold look on his face. Percy's eyes were fixed on Fane as if he was trying to see something.
Fane looked back calmly. Their gazes met with a murderous aura in the air. Ever since their conflict started, Percy acted as though all was fine and that Fane was not worth his notice at all, but he could no longer keep up the act.
He took a deep breath and said aloofly, "In so many years, very few have thoroughly angered me. You're the first and probably the last. I don't know how you're this bold to go against us like this, but whatever it is, it won't change your fate."
Fane's lips twitched helplessly. "You've said that before, and I've answered. When it comes to threats like this, I've heard them way too many times. Dish a new threat, why don't you?"
Percy narrowed his eyes slightly. "Your actions won't just end up with you paying a horrible price, but all those related to you will be punished as well. I'll make sure to find out what continent and clan you're from. Everyone who's close to you will be dragged down with you. I'll tell them that their impending suffering is because of your arrogance! You'll be cursed by everyone who's close to you."
Lourain and Marth could not help but duck their heads at that. They were not close to Fane at all, but if anyone found out about their relationship with Fane, they would be pulled into this chaos as well.
Lourain rubbed his temples in pain, suddenly not knowing what to say.
He was not on good terms with Fane, and it seemed like he would not be on good terms with the Star Continent anymore after being dragged down like that. He did not even dare to breathe too heavily at that moment.
