Rudy sneered and said, "Why would you think Fane had a hand in whatever it is you're accusing him of? I've been with Fane the whole time. Even though there was a small problem between our travels, we never met any warriors from second-grade worlds! This has nothing to do with Fane at all, so don't try blaming Fane!"
Eduardo's expression soured. "Like we'd believe you! Who else but Fane could've done it? Even if Carlton was not as strong as I am, he was still a chosen disciple from a holy-grade clan who was at my level. His skills weren't to be underestimated, and no one other than Fane would've been able to face him alone! There's nothing that would have threatened his life other than Fane!"
Stephen looked at Fane coldly, slowly saying, "You're still not going to admit it? I thought that you'll always admit to anything you did happily. I can't believe you're willing to put on a show like this, acting innocent after you killed someone!"
All the warriors from second-grade worlds looked at Fane incredibly angrily, feeling like Fane was shameless by refusing to admit he had killed
someone.
A warrior from a second-grade world, who was wearing a deep blue robe, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll admit that you're so powerful that even Carlton isn't a match for you, but so what? At least his moral standing is better! If he killed someone, he wouldn't pretend to be innocent like what you're doing!"
Fane's expression darkened as he heard that. At that moment, he had guessed what had happened, and the other warriors from third-grade worlds did too.
Cloud said loudly, "It's not like you
witnessed it, so why are you
slandering Fane? What do you
mean, he's not willing to admit ita et
Fane's never been someone like
that, he said he didn't do it, then he didn't! This Carlton guy didn't die at Fane's hands. He was killed by beasts!"
After Cloud said that, the others nodded as well.
All of them had guessed the only potential truth. Carlton, and the missing Collin and Simon, had died to the Demon Spirit Beasts. If Fane
was not as skilled as he was, they would never have known the truth.
Carlton was not as skilled at Fane, so the consequences were obvious. However, the warriors from second-grade worlds did not know about this. Based on their
assumptions, they were sure that
Fane killed Carlton. Conten over

When Stephen heard what Cloud said, he got even angrier. He looked like he was ready to explode at any moment.
Stephen said angrily, "What did you say? Carlton died to Demon Spirit Beasts? Please, Cloud! Is your head alright?! Do you think we'd believe that?Têxt belongs to .
"How could you give such an absurd reason?! A Demon Spirit Beast, capable of killing him? What do you think those beasts are?! Do you think I don't know how powerful they are?"
