Both Ken and Neil took part in the banquet Fane hosted just to see him dead. They wanted to see him flat on the floor as his body succumbed to the poison.
More importantly, they wanted to see the shock and horror on everyone's faces. They wanted to see him die before Selena and how her face would morph into one with immeasurable agony.
Still, nothing they expected had happened a s they watched as the Gods of War trailed i n, one after another, and bolstered Fane and Selena's reputation to no end. It was plain to see how everyone admired them.
"I'm sure of it, and we saw it for ourselves! A few days ago, Fane was complaining about how he was feeling unwell. Xena was
there, too!"
Ivan frowned. "Let's wait for a bit. This is the final day, after all. It's possible that Fane has a body strong enough to resist the poison for a bit, so the symptoms are probably suppressed. Maybe the symptoms will just pile on him abruptly, and he'll explode into pieces. That's possible!"
"That's right. I can verify that information since I did follow Ivan that day. Fane did tell us that he wasn't feeling well!"
Xena nodded. "I think it's about time!
Either that, or the poison that you two obtained is fake!"
"What are you talking about? There’s no way it's fake!”
Ken immediately huffed. "Just wait for it, I'm sure it won't be long. That little punk will die soon enough!” "Oh, the thought of it makes me so excited. Hah! Selena will surely have a meltdown b y then!" Neil emitted a mirthless chuckle.
Back at the banquet, Fernando took out a credit card and thrust it toward Selena. " Right. I didn't buy any gifts, but I do have this credit card. I'm giving it to you, Miss Selena. There's one billion inside, and it doesn't have a personal identification number!"
