The crowd got more excited as they talked. All of the hatred in their hearts was voiced out. Ever since they interacted with the warriors from second- grade worlds, nothing good ever happened as they ridiculed them.
Before, they had to just accept most of it as long as it did not cross the line, but as they felt even more pushed to the corner, they wanted to fight back. Whether it was in this space or after they went out, they would no longer hold back out of fear. That was because they knew very well that fear would just cause them to retreat even more, giving everything to those arrogant warriors from second-grade worlds.
Rudy, sitting behind Fane, felt that it was pointless as he watched everyone being emotional. He whispered to Fane, "I feel like they just like talking. Once they go out, they'll start considering a lot more things. They'll never actually end up becoming mortal enemies with the warriors from second- grade worlds. After all, wanting to really fight back comes with a price. They'll probably hesitate when their lives are at stake. There's no meaning to what they're saying now."
Fane chuckled at Rudy's words. He turned and gave him a nod, feeling like he was finally maturing. Rudy was no longer the brat from before that believed in everything everyone else said.
Rudy coughed before he continued to whisper, "Agelt doesn't seem like someone we'll get along with. I can see from his expression that he doesn't really want to lower his head to you. It's honestly not that important to us, though. He just needs to be useful at the right times, though we can't lower guard down around him. I feel like he'll want to compete against you in the future. You should be careful."
Fane nodded. He had thought of that as well. Fane whispered back, "As long as he doesn't hold us back when it matters, let him. He'll understand how laughable his actions are in the future."
Rudy nodded. The two of them exchanged a look, and various emotions could be seen from that.
60 kilometers away from the cave, at a shallow river, six warriors from second-grade worlds gathered. All of them had serious frowns on their faces.
Manson Rose took a deep breath. "Is there still no news from that side? How many have we lost contact with?"Têxt belongs to .
Hirving Ochoa solemnly replied, "A
total of ten are missing. Five of them are escorts, while the other five are meant to exchange prisoners. Those ten haven't been contactable practically within the same day. I've tried my best to reach them, but there's no news at all. We should make preparations for the worst."
Marson raised an eyebrow and said, "It looks like those animals have learned to fight back, working together against us. However, the more they do that, the worse their fate will be. Those ten are about average in skill. They're nothing compared to us. We're prepared as well, so these things won't happen."
Uriel Masquez, who was standing at the back, said with a worried expression, Those who went
missing are all pretty decent. Even though they're in the middle of inner disciples, a few of them are still
among the top fifty. We can't find them anymore.
"It means that those third-grade world fools managed to gather a portion of their forces. They reacted quite quickly. We thought they'd only notice what we're doing around the third or fourth day."
