The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 621

"Don’t worry; just stay close to me these few days. They willingly participated in yesterday's event, so they can't explain their actions if they kill you." Ivan smiled bitterly. "Luckily Fane didn't know that you fed him poison. If he knew about it, he wouldn't have considered so many other things."

"What? Fane had drunk the...the poison?" A surge of unadulterated joy began spreading throughout every inch of Ken's being when he heard this piece of information.

After all, he believed he would be the one to have Selena once Fane was out of the picture. He had waited for this day for a very long time.

He was initially worried Xena would fail since Fane was rather smart and could catch onto what Xena was planning. He never thought Xena would succeed at feeding Fane the poison without being caught.

"Yes! How’s that, Young Master Clark? Am I reliable?" Xena saw how Ken's expression lightened up right after he heard about her success. "You seem so excited! Don't you think you should reward me well?"

Ken had a tight smile on his face. "Some other time," he quickly dismissed. "I'll definitely treat you to a meal some other day."

"Don't forget this promise of yours!" the gleeful Xena chirped at him.

"Oh, yeah. How did you manage to do it? Tell us about the specifics. Neil still doesn’t know about the current situation, so I’ll tell him all about it later. He’d definitely be over the moon when he hears about this!" Ken was so happy that he nearly bust out a dance.

"Alright, here's how it went down..." Xena began, and she relayed the entire story to them.

"Excellent!” Ken slapped his thigh after he heard what had happened. “If that's the case, then that means Fane doesn’t know he’s been poisoned, does he now? Haha! He doesn't even know that his life is in danger! Let's just wait and see how he dies after this month!"

Ivan—lying on the bed—grinned at this as h e spoke, "That's right. Young Master Clark, Fane said that he wants to prepare an extravagant birthday party that'll stir the entire town. That day happens to be the day of his death, too. Don't you think that'll be a day of celebration for us? Selena's birthday is his death anniversary...! Oh, I get excited just thinking about it!"

"It's such a drag that this guy is still alive right now. I really wish he'd drop dead as soon as possible!" came Ken's honest reply laced with disdain. He was genuinely hoping Fane would succumb to the poison much faster.

“About that, Young Master Clark, there is a way for Fane to pass on early," Ivan spoke u p after a moment to himself. "Fane had dug a hole for himself when he killed the Xenos family’s young master of Sky Dragon City, Quil Xenos. This Xenos family is a big family and is much stronger than the Drake family. Now that Fane has been poisoned, his body will get weaker over time and his combat ability will weaken day by day." "What do you mean?" Ken prodded, his heart leaping in joy when he was catching onto Ivan's train of thought.
