However, he had been too slow, and some managed to make out the shape of a key.
Fane turned to look at the person who had shouted. He seemed incredibly muscular, and he had been on the sixth stage before this. Yet, he had come to the seventh stage at some point and could see what was in the wooden box.
When that person saw what it was, he immediately shouted that it was a key. Fane clenched his teeth and stared at that person with hatred.
Seymour widened his eyes. At that moment, he was in no mood to think about everything that happened before this. He quickly walked up the stage and was in front of Fane in just a few moments. He looked at Fane intensely. At that moment, the wooden box was already empty, and Fane had already kept the golden key in Mustard Seed.
Seymour put up five fingers, "Five pieces of purple gold! I'll buy the golden key from you!"
Fane's lips stiffened, and he had an incredulous look in his eyes. Five pieces of purple gold were just fifty million spirit crystals. Trying to buy his key with just that amount was basically calling him an idiot!
Fane sneered as he looked at Seymour in disdain, "Do you think I'm stupid? Fifty million spirit crystals for my golden key?! Do you think I'm a little kid?"
Everyone else had varying reactions. They were all discussing the matter in a low voice, "It's only fifty million. You'd only be able to buy one high-grade pill with that. That person just spent seventy-six points in one go. He's definitely not weak. In his eyes, fifty million is nothing."
"That's right! I can't believe Seymour even gave that offer. Even if it was me, I wouldn't be willing to exchange it. Even though we don't know what the key is for, it was still exchanged for seventy-six points! It has to be very amazing!"
The fat man scoffed as he said in a low voice, "Seymour's no idiot. He must already have some plans since he dared to say that."
Seymour laughed. He was not angered by Fane's words at all. It was as if he already knew Fane would say that. He smirked and said, "I've been wondering when we'd meet. I thought I would have to wait until the end, but this is such a coincidence. Just take off your disguise. No one would dare to be so arrogant but you."
Fane smiled. He was not surprised that Seymour recognized him at all. It was not hard to figure out who he was. In the first place, there were not many warriors who would be able to get over seventy points. On top of that, Lourain and Fane had acted without any fear. As long as Seymour just thought about it a little, he would be able to figure it out.
Seymour narrowed his eyes and looked at Fane, "Fane, I've been looking into you for so long. I've been trying to track you down."
Seymour did not lower his voice when he said that, and quite a few people heard him clearly. Fane? That man was Fane? He was the person making waves around!
News about Fane had been spread everywhere, and everyone knew of him. Everyone was very curious about Fane, and really wanted to see that mythical figure.
They had actually met him! Fane reached up and tore off his disguise. His real face was revealed for all to see, and there were hisses everywhere.
"It really is him!" Quite a few people were stunned to see Fane's face.
At that moment, Seymour was not listening to the discussions around him at all. He stared right at Fane, "You're much stronger than I expected. I thought we would be able to deal with you without taking too much time, but you've constantly evaded our attempts. More and more of our men are dying for you as well."
