Even if they planned something, it would be useless against him. Thus, Fane raised an eyebrow and returned to his seat.
Percy then said, deliberately raising his voice for all to hear, "You know, we can all tell that you're not crazy or an idiot, so you're just a liar."
Everyone turned around at the same time. They thought that there would be a temporary end to the conflict, but that was not the case after all.
Fane raised an eyebrow as he coldly looked at Percy, not bothering to answer at all as he waited for Percy to continue.
Percy's lips stiffened when he saw how Fane barely reacted. Everything the man did seemed out of the ordinary. Should Fane not be trying to defend himself for his dignity?
Nonetheless, that did not trouble Percy too much. He took a deep breath and continued, "You're planning on going back on your word later, aren't you? You'll find a load of excuses, too. With your talent with words, you'll be able to come out with something amazing. I think that won't be hard for you at all!"
Fane raised an eyebrow, still showing no emotion as he waited for Percy to finish. Percy's lips twitched as he looked at Fane's calm eyes. How he wanted to rip off Fane's mask right then and there, but he would be violating the rules by attacking if he did so.
He was forced to calm himself. "Are you not saying anything because you feel guilty? Does that mean you'll go back on your word after all?"
Fane took a deep breath before he looked at Percy in amusement. He felt like the man would not shut up so easily if he remained silent. At this point, he was annoyed by Percy's constant nonsense.
"Are your ears blocked by crap? Did everything I say go unprocessed entirely? I repeated myself but none of you believed me, so what's the point of saying anything right now? You might not feel annoyed by constantly harping, but everyone here is annoyed by that."
Percy's face reddened in anger. He suddenly felt like he was in an unusual position. He came from a major family, and his talent had stood out from everyone else since he was young. Everyone treated him with much respect, and not even his enemies mocked him this badly. Fane was trying to drag him to the filth!
Percy took a deep breath. He felt like his eyes were about to burn with rage. However, he had to be patient for the sake of the grand plan.
Percy gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think you'll be getting away after all that arrogance, you brat. Do you think we're all idiots here? Do you honestly think you can beat Randall?"
Fane raised an eyebrow before he nodded seriously.
Percy let out a mocking laugh. "Stop joking around. Ask everyone here if they think you'll be able to beat Randall. You were just bold enough to do what you've done because your mask protects your identity. You're this fearless because we don't know who you really are. You'll regret everything when you sign up later!"
Fane sneered, "What a rich imagination you have! Do you want me to clap for you?"
Percy narrowed his eyes and continued, "Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart. I know you'll cower and hide from making true of your word. Since that's the case, let me show you some mercy."
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard that. Percy wanted to spare someone? Since when did he become so reasonable? There was even a hint of kindness in his last words. It was nothing like how Percy and the Star Continent usually acted!
