At that moment, quite a few people lamented the fact that Fane was not only stupid but squandered his fortunes as well. It was such a complete waste of resources. If they had the purple gold instead, they would never have wasted it like that!
Percy looked at Fane observantly. More and more, he was feeling like Fane was not someone ordinary. He should not be a regular warrior, regular warriors would never be able to fork out so much. Could he really have a powerful background?
No matter what, they could not tolerate him even if he did! Everything that man had done had made it so they were mortal enemies. Even if he had a background, it would not be of much use.
After all, Fane had a mask on. If anyone tried to cause any trouble, Percy could just push away the responsibility by saying he did not know who it was at all. Furthermore, that guy was the one who asked for trouble first! In truth, Percy never felt like he had done anything wrong the whole time.
All of their problems had come from that guy who did not know his place. All warriors should make way for the warriors of the Star Continent. If they're asked to stand, they should. If they're asked to kneel, then they should! As long as anyone went against the warriors of Star Continent, then they were at fault. That sort of view was already ingrained in their minds.
Various thoughts flashed in his mind, and he started to calm down despite his suspicions. He looked at Fane with an even more sharp expression. The whole time, Fane had been completely calm. No matter what the discussions were about, Fane did not care at all. He treats the crowd like a murder of crows. Fane slowly walked to the stage under everyone's gaze.
"He's really going! I thought he would go back on his words in the end…"
"That's just not possible. He couldn't do that even if he wanted to. He's already written his name down, which is basically a death sentence. He has to walk on the stage or he'll be punished by the laws. He would be turned to ashes immediately."
"No matter what, I actually admire him a little. Even if he's completely crazy, I feel like his madness is quite interesting! He humiliated those arrogant warriors from Star Continent so much. They are so angry, but they couldn't do anything. It feels great!"
"Alright, stop talking! You shouldn't let anyone hear you say something like that. This guy is crazy, so he's not afraid of anything, are you like that too?"
Everyone's discussions were heard by Fane. Those people deliberately raised their voices, so Fane could hear everything clearly. However, Fane did not care about those discussions at all. Rowan and Randall exchanged a look and whispered something amongst themselves before they walked to the stage as well.
Hamish was the most exaggerated one. He looked like someone who had already won as he strode to the stage with bluster. Quite a few people frowned at the sight.
"The masked man is crazy, but this guy is such a fraud. I'd honestly rather be the crazy guy. This fraud just thinks that he's managed to get himself a great master, so he's trying to show off in front of us, but none of us think that he's all that impressive at all."
When he said that, everyone around him nodded. All of them looked at Hamish like an idiot.
However, Hamish never had any self-awareness to begin with. The other participants walked on the stage as well. After the participants were all on stage, the barrier immediately rose. Until the battle ended, the stage would be cut off from anywhere else.
