Rudy's lips stiffened, unable to respond to that. Lorien's eyes were sharp as he could immediately tell that Rudy's skills were not up to par. Rudy had been greatly pushed back by that, but his heart was still angry. As his anger grew, he felt like he was going to get a heart attack anytime.
Facts hurt the most. Even if he knew that Lorien's words were over the line, there was no way he could respond to the truth. He stomped his feet angrily, and the noise around him got louder and louder, but he could still say nothing.
Lorien was amused looking at him stomping his feet angrily. Lorien smiled snidely and said, "How dare trash like you talk so much in front of me? You must really not know your place. You act like we're equals, but you're just a rock by the side of the road, not even qualified to die under my feet!
"If it weren't for the rules, you'd already be dead. However, you shouldn't be too pleased with yourself. There are a lot of fun places in the inner city. I have all the time in the world to torture you. I have already memorized you, and I'll have people constantly looking out for you. As long as we get the chance, you'll be buried alive."
Rudy's lips twitched, and his expression stiffened. He had been threatened again. If he was a little insignificant guy with no one to rely on, then he would start living like a street rat from then on. He would be forced to be incredibly careful every day and probably find a place to hide, no longer appearing in public. Yet, he was not.
However, he did not want to continue arguing with Lorien. After being threatened, Rudy slowly calmed down. He knew that he had been impulsive just now. They already made so many enemies, his conflict with Lorien would just be adding to Fane's troubles. Thinking of that, he turned to look at Fane with regret.
Fane happened to turn his head as well. When the two of them exchanged a look, Rudy felt even more guilty. He pursed his lips and sent an apologetic smile. Looking at him, Fane knew that Rudy had finally calmed down. Moments ago, Rudy was ready to fight against anyone.
Fane sighed, whispering, "What's the point of regretting it? I already know what happened. If you regret it, then you should know what to do in the future. Regret is pointless..."
Rudy's expression stiffened, not knowing what to say out of his guilt.
He suddenly remembered all the trouble he had caused Fane due to his impulsiveness. However, he could not stop himself, especially when facing injustice. He would explode just like cold water oil.

Rudy said apologetically, "I'll be careful in the future, it won't happen again, Fane..."Têxt belongs to .
However, he was stopped by Fane's hand before he could finish, "It's fine, there's no need to apologize. Honestly, even if you weren't impulsive, things would have still happened anyway."
Rudy did not understand what Fane meant by that and looked at him in confusion. However, Fane did not plan on explaining anything to Rudy. He merely looked right at Lorien.
When Lorien saw that Rudy no longer dared to speak, he was very pleased with himself. He held his head high as he looked at everyone arrogantly, "Gale might be an inner disciple, but he's already mastered his upper earth rank technique to the second stage. He's only a sliver away from perfecting it! He'll be able to make a breakthrough Before too long! What about all of you? You're all just trash. You might never even be able to learn a technique of that level your whole life!"
The moment that was said, the surroundings became quiet. The arguments started to die down. Facts were the most convincing thing. Gale was an inner disciple, but his skills were already at the level of the chosen disciples of the best eighth-grade clans of their world.
Fane raised an eyebrow. It was more or less as he expected. Chris had been a chosen disciple of the Purple Cloud Pavilion and was among the top three at that. His skills were more or less at Gale's level.
