The inn was not far away from the Three Deer stage, and it took Fane and Rudy only an hour to reach their destination. Fane did not say another word as he took out the spirit crystals to get a room for 10 days.
When the two of them went upstairs, Rudy could no longer hold back as he gushed, "Those two were so scared of you! I thought that they wanted to see you because they wanted one final showdown. I didn't expect that they weren't lying at all.
"They actually were just curious and wanted to see how you looked and what your name was. After that, they told their subordinates to kill all of those that were still being kept barely alive, sending the number of deaths to a hundred and twenty to end the slaughter game..."
As he said that, Jake's expression flashed in Rudy's mind.
When Jake looked at Fane, Jake looked like he had swallowed a fly. He looked to be suffering incredibly.
He seemed furious at Fane, but there was nothing he could do. When he knew that Fane had been the one taking the charge with everything, Jake already knew that there was no way they could turn things around; they had lost. The plan could no longer go on, so they quickly ended the slaughter game to keep their losses to a minimum.
Rudy laughed as he said, "That Guardio had such a long look on his face. He looked at you as if he wanted to rush forward and bite you. He must hate you immensely right now. He must be thinking that they would've finished their tasks easily if you weren't around. Not only did they fail their task this time, but they'll be punished when they get back, too!"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Rudy's smile threatened to split his face apart. He narrowed his eyes and continued, "These presumptuous guys think that they can rule over the Whirling World just because they're somewhat skilled. What a joke! I think they're like a bunch of shrimp who only dare to bully the weak. When facing anyone strong, their pride completely evaporates. It's hilarious!"
Fane nodded with a slight smile.
Rudy sat on the chair and continued, though this time sounding somewhat irked, "They've suffered this time. Fane, you need to be prepared. You'll end up on their hit list, and they'll do their best to cause you trouble everywhere."
Fane nodded. "They'll try to figure

out a way to kill me. However, ever since I arrived at Hestia, my enemies never stopped coming for me. If they want to kill me, they'll have to pay the price for it with their own
flesh. I'll make sure they understand that nothing good comes from trying to go against me!"
The Whirling World's various rules meant that most places within the cities prohibited any fighting. If they wanted to kill Fane, they would need to operate within the rules. However, Fane viewed the rules as tools for him to do what he wanted to. If they fought within the rules, it was hard to say who would win.
Rudy poured some tea for Fane. "Do we have any plans after this? There are still a few places in Weinhord City. Are we going to continue
staying here, or are we going
leave for the next city? With your Crystal Badge, we can go wherever we want anyway."
Fane shook his head. "We won't leave Weinhord City for now. There are still a lot of great places we should go to. Also, I feel like they'll try again since their plans failed this time. I'm not trying to be righteous, but I want to make them feel fear."
When Rudy heard that, he raised an eyebrow curiously. "What are you planning to do to intimidate them?"
Fane let out a smile as he said slowly, "It's very simple. They'll keep trying to challenge and target me after this. I'll take the chance to... inflict a little bit of pain on them."
