The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 621

“Don’t worry; just stay close to me these few days. They willingly participated in yesterday’s event, so they can’t explain their actions if they kill you.” Ivan smiled bitterly. “Luckily Fane didn’t know that you fed him poison. If he knew about it, he wouldn’t have considered so many other things.”

“What? Fane had drunk the...the poison?” A surge of unadulterated joy began spreading throughout every inch of Ken’s being when he heard this piece of information.

After all, he believed he would be the one to have Selena once Fane was out of the picture. He had waited for this day for a very long time.

He was initially worried Xena would fail since Fane was rather smart and could catch onto what Xena was planning. He never thought Xena would succeed at feeding Fane the poison without being caught.

“Yes! How’s that, Young Master Clark? Am I reliable?” Xena saw how Ken’s expression lightened up right after he heard about her success. “You seem so excited! Don’t you think you should reward me well?”

Ken had a tight smile on his face. “Some other time,” he quickly dismissed. “I’ll definitely treat you to a meal some other day.”

“Don’t forget this promise of yours!” the gleeful Xena chirped at him.

“It’s such a drag that this guy is still alive right now. I really wish he’d drop dead as soon as possible!” came Ken’s honest reply laced with disdain. He was genuinely hoping Fane would succumb to the poison much faster.

“About that, Young Master Clark, there is a way for Fane to pass on early,” Ivan spoke up after a moment to himself. “Fane had dug a hole for himself when he killed the Xenos family’s young master of Sky Dragon City, Quil Xenos. This Xenos family is a big family and is much stronger than the Drake family. Now that Fane has been poisoned, his body will get weaker over time and his combat ability will weaken day by day.”

“What do you mean?” Ken prodded, his heart leaping in joy when he was catching onto Ivan’s train of thought.
