Fane reached out and patted the masked man on the back, "You give me a good reminder though. If I'm there too late, the battle would have ended, and I wouldn't be able to get anything. You have three of you there. On top of the two of you, there are five in total. Five million per person, I'd be able to get a total of twenty five million."
The moment that was said, the masked man's eyes stopped moving. His mouth widened as he recalled what Fane had said earlier. The two of them had thought that there was something wrong with Fane's head. Fane had said before that there would be five and six after they were three and four.
They thought that Fane was just crazy at that moment, or Fane wouldn't have been so arrogant. Now, he realized that Fane was not arrogant, but rather just confident in his skills. He had been the ignorant one.
Fane slowly stood up, "I do plan on going there quickly, I just don't know if I'll make it in time."
Hearing Fane's words, the two masked men shuddered, unable to say anything. Before they say Fane's true skills, they had thought that everything Fane said was a joke.
Yet, when they saw how strong Fane was, they could not longer laugh. They were even worried for their companions. If Fane rushed over and the fighting had still not ended, then Fane would completely clean up the place. The three of them would not have had the time to recover after a battle. There was no way they would be a match for Fane. Their companions would also look down on Fane thanks to Fane's background as well. They would end up just like the two of them, turning into Fane's rewards. The two of them felt a chill in their hearts.
Fane furrowed his eyebrows as he turned around. Whether the group of four could survive was not as important as the companions of the masked men were still there. As long as the three of them were still there, then Fane was confident in dealing with all three of them.
Alfred was observing Fane's expressions, and could guess what Fane was thinking. Alfred took a deep breath. He was still a little afraid when it came to Fane, but his intense hope had won over that fear.
He stepped forward and said to Fane, "Can I stay behind? I want to get their Heartblood. Even though don't know what's the point of it, it has to be useful since they offered such a high price. I might as well stay behind and get their Heartblood for you..." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
As he said that, his voice shook slightly. He looked up at Fane with worry. He would immediately shut up if he realized anything was wrong, but Fane seemed calm. He could not see any unhappiness.
Alfred mustered up the courage to continue, "I know it's a little cruel, but these two treated others just the same way as well. Don't do onto others what you don't want done onto you, I don't think it's wrong..."
Thinking about that, a sliver of hatred flashed in Alfred's eyes. If Fane had not suddenly appeared to save him, then he would have ended up like those dead warriors from the third grade worlds. After being cruelly tortured, his Heartblood would be retrieved and sold at a high. price.
Just thinking about it, Alfred could not suppress his rage. Fane laughed and patted Alfred on the shoulder, "You'll be in danger if you stay behind alone."
Alfred shook his head in determination, "I'll leave as soon as I can. If I really do end up in danger, then I'll just chalk it down to being unlucky. There's nothing much to say about it."
