Brian's companions immediately gushed with flattery.
"Brian, you're so generous and heroic! We're so lucky to be able to work with you!"
"Thank you for your generosity! In the future, we'll be completely loyal to you!"
There were various words of flattery that Brian deeply enjoyed. In truth, Brian was not that generous. He wanted to keep all the keys to himself, but he knew that he would lose respect if he did so. He might end up being stabbed in the back.
His fellow disciples were all cunning. If he took everything for himself, the consequences would be dire. Seven keys were already quite a lot, and the rest of them were not that much anyway. He would absolutely make sure he profited.
While Brian and his lackeys felt gratified, Quinton's side wallowed in despondence. All of them frowned, cursing their situation. Quinton did not know what to say at that moment. At Brian's words, the rest of them noticed Fane as well.
Seeing as Fane had been with Chad, and Fane was from a third-grade world, Quinton could guess that the three of them formed a temporary alliance to get by. Quinton knew Chad very well. If Chad had not been forced to, he would not have forced a team.
That was because Chad felt it was troublesome. However, when Chad joined a team, he would not mistreat his teammates.
Quinton took a deep breath and said to Chad helplessly, "Don't be an idiot. Hurry and flee. You don't need to care about us; just make sure you survive!"
Quinton had no other thought than to make sure Chad managed to escape at that moment. The further Chad ran, the better. He did not want Chad to come back at all. All he wanted was for Chad to remain safe until Chad could leave the Whirling World.
Chad naturally knew of Quinton's worries and thus emotionally yelled, "Don't worry, Quinton! I said I'll save you, so believe in that!"
He reached out and patted Fane on the shoulder. "He can save you!"
Brian could not resist laughing again, feeling like they were clowns.
No matter how much Brian and his companions laughed, however, Fane remained calm the whole time as he looked at Brian coldly.
Brian had four golden circles around him. Fane raised an eyebrow and said, with a tone of disappointment, "Why do you only have four golden rings?"
Brian was trying to show his superiority in every way, so why did he only have four keys? Someone as strong as him should have at least ten.
Brian suddenly stopped laughing at Fane's words.
His lips twitched, wondering if he had misheard. What did Fane say? Did he just ask why he only had four keys? In such disappointment, at that? Was that guy planning on killing him to take his keys, but lamenting that he had too little?
Brian's lips twitched as he stared at Fane. When he realized he was not mistaken, he did not know what to say.
What an arrogant man. Was he crazy?!
When Quinton heard Fane, Quinton widened his eyes as well as he looked at Fane in confusion.
