"Doesn't come?'
Zain sneered frostily. "He will definitely come. I told him that if he doesn't, he has to bid his dear wife and daughter, Adieu. But, I said this just to frighten him. I'm a peculiar person; Fane is the one I want to kill, I don’t even care to harm his family. I will kill him to avenge my master!"
"You, you're so stupid! Your words will scare him away and he might take his family and flee! They'll leave this f*cking Middle province without us knowing! And it’ll fiendishly toilsome for you to dig him out!"
Quil felt a flash of irritation that he aggressively paced back and forth. "Didn't I tell you before, to find an opportunity to slit his throat? You are a marshal for god sake! I f you assassinate him, he will be dead already, and wouldn’t this be the best scenario? If you could just kill him without him knowing it, that would be great!"
Zain, out of everyone's expectation, flashed a disdained smile, and jeered, "Young Master Xenos, that is your suggestion and I’m not obliged to take it, right? I’m a marshal, if I want a head commander's life, do I have to do it in secret? This is not what a gentleman is supposed to do! Any fight between men should be done upright and reputable! I prefer it this way."
"I..."
Quil was at loss for words and his face darkened. "But you shouldn’t let him know one day before the fight! Don't you think you're giving him a chance to flee the city?" 'Haha, don't you worry about that. I can sense that Fane is not that kind of person. He should be quite strong and powerful. That's why when I challenged him to a fight, he didn't show any hint of fear or nervousness at all!"
Zain chuckled and continued, "Besides, he loves his family dearly, so naturally he doesn't want his family to live a hide-and-seek life and constantly in fear, right? Moreover, don't ever look down on a marshal’s capability. Even if Fane takes his family and flees, they have nowhere to hide. And is it really good for them to live a fearful life forever?"
Zain paused for a moment, then only spilled his words confidently, "Therefore, I believe, he will come to the battle tomorrow!"
Quin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart upon hearing Zain's assertive statements. ’ Alright then, if this is what you said. I hope he attends the challenge tomorrow, otherwise, you have to chase after him around the world and dig him out no matter what!"
Quil soon left the scene. After a moment of pondering, he sent several bodyguards to stand guard near Fane's villa, fearing that Fane would bring his family and flee the city.
As long as Fane's family did not leave the city, he believed that Fane would definitely not escape too!
