Nonetheless, Fane sneered at Quentin’s offer. “Before the competition started, you guys set the rules and agreed not to pursue further privately after the competition ended. Competition rules are such a formal and important thing, but you guys still went back on your words. So, what makes you think that I will trust you?”
“Quentin Hunt, you underestimated our Woods family! Do you think we’ll be afraid of you just because you have more people than we do? Let me tell you, you better not regret your presence here in the Woods residence today once the war starts!”
Nash, too, stared at the other party icily. “You know that my son is the strongest in the Woods family, so you want to trick him into cutting his own throat. Do you really think that we’re so stupid?”
“Master Hunt, are you not afraid of being laughed at by the world for what you have done today? I don’t think you know which family had obtained the stone ball from the Bright Snow Mountain, am I right? And you’re afraid that the Woods family would discover something out of the stone ball and break into the ultimate god realm. If this truly happened, it would affect the first position of the Hunt family among the eight reclusive families. Hence, you’re using revenge as an excuse to get the stone ball from us, right?”
Kevin could not stand the other party’s bullsh*t anymore. He stared huffily at the other party.
“Aren’t you the First Elder of the Cabello family? Why are you here?”
Quentin squinted at Kevin and stated. “You’re an excellent alchemist. It’d be too bad for the world to lose an alchemist like you. So, let me advise you, leave this place at once and save yourself from the battle later. If you die in the battle, we won’t be able to do anything about it!”
“Elder Kevin, this matter has nothing to do with you. I think you should leave!”
After pondering for a few seconds, Nash said to Kevin.
“Master Cabello had stated that the Cabellos and the Woods are no longer enemies; we’re one big family. So, since I’m here today, I’m not gonna leave. And I believe that if Master Cabello was here today, he would stay on and help the Woods family!”
However, Kevin responded in a determined manner after giving the matter some thought.
Fiona paced back and forth, looking panicked.
“Stop pacing up and down. You’re making me even more anxious right now. Why don't we rush out and fight with them?”
Ben clenched his fists, and his eyes showed the aura of determination.
“No! We can’t go out there. If we do so, we’re digging our own graves! Other fighters with low combat prowess are hiding in rooms as well, and Fane and the others will not let them come near to us! They will be able to stop them at the gates from coming in, and if we go out, we’ll only be a burden and drag them down!”
Nonetheless, Joan stopped Ben and the others immediately. “Selena is outside with others, and her combat prowess is not weak, so don't worry about her. Fane and the others will definitely take care of her. The only thing we can do is to wait here and pray for them!”
