"Chris is forced to do this. Only by dragging things on will Edward have enough time to recover. If they faced Fane alone, neither Chris nor Rudy would be a match for him. Their only chance is to work together!"
A warrior from Chaos Continent nodded vigorously, "You're right! Fane's just too strong. Even Chris, who regards himself so highly, is being forced to lower his head to stall for time! They only have one way out at this point. If Fane manages to see through their plans, then even that would go up in smoke!"
The discussions around the place started to intensify, "I can't believe this is the current situation. If anyone had told me that Chris and Edward would be afraid of Fane before the slaughter gambit started, even having to lower their heads to stall for time, I would have thought that the person's brain was underdeveloped!"
"We weren't the only ones who weren't able to tell. Wasn't it also the caretakers who made a mistake? Do you remember the odds they gave? Chris had the lower returns, with one to one point seven. Edwards was two point nine.
"Fane's returns had been the highest with seven and a half. Less than three people have ever gotten those odds in all of the other slaughter gambits, and Fane's one of them.
"Yet, Fane's the most absurd one of them all. His actual skills are even stronger than a warrior with one point seven odds! I'm really regretting not betting on Fane before this. I'd be rich!"
"That's right! I'm filled with regret right now too. It's seven and a half times! I'd be able to get fifteen million spirit crystals in the end! That's a profit of thirteen million! I'd be a rich man. Just thinking about it gets me excited! It's a pity that I didn't take the chance that was right in front of me!"
"It's not just you. Everyone here is filled with regret. It's a pity that we were just like the nine participants initially, unable to see Fane's potential. Only when we saw his true skills did we know how wrong we were!"
At that moment, a warrior from Hestia Continent said curiously, "There are so many people here. Who placed their bet on Fane? I remember there were some bets on him!"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
When that person asked, the viewing area fell silent for a long time before someone answered, "A total of two people bet on Fane. The first was Fane himself, and the other was Fane's follower. I remember that that person's called Rudy!"
The moment that was said, everyone sighed. They still remembered how Fane had been mocked when he bet on himself. They felt like Fane's actions were such a joke, and they wondered what he was thinking!
It seemed like they were idiots instead. Fane had always known what he was doing. This time, Fane would have earned thirteen million spirit Crystals in one go if he won. That sum was no small number even in a ninth-grade clan!
After lamenting their fates, a wandering warrior from Chaos Continent suddenly asked, "I think that Fane's quite smart. How could he be falling for Chris and Edward's plan to stall for time? Is he letting them do it on purpose?"
The moment that was said, the discussion started to die down. Everyone was exchanging looks with each other as various thoughts formed in their minds.
At that moment, Fane was still constantly talking to Chris in the isolated space. They were just purely wasting time conversing.
