The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



Even if Ethan was still alive at that moment, he was dangerously close to death's door. Trevor was so anxious his entire body was shaking, already predicting what would happen.

Fane looked up upon hearing Trevor's voice and saw him standing beneath the stage with his pale, panic-stricken face. Trevor was staring right at Fane with a complicated expression. While he tried to come off as forceful, the pleading glint in his eyes was just as evident as though he was begging for Ethan's release.

The sight of Trevor merely amused Fane, however. He could not be bothered with him, and nothing he shouted would affect the results of the match.

He slowly turned to look at Ethan, who was still rolling on the floor.

At that moment, Ethan's clothes were completely disheveled. His entire body was covered in dirt, and he looked to be in an incredibly bad state. Despite his appearance, Ethan could barely care-the pain made him forget everything else as he wailed in agony.

The stage suddenly turned into a slaughterhouse.

Seeing that Fane would not do anything regardless of what he said, Trevor started to panic. "We can talk about this, Fane!" he spoke. "As long as you release him, I'll do anything as long as it's within my power.

"You killing him won't amount to anything but merely taking a life. This brat has suffered the punishment he should have. Just look at how much pain he's in! You should've already vented your frustration. Let him go! Just act like you didn't see him today!"

Trevor finally lowered his head. If this went on, Ethan would surely die. Since threatening Fane was useless, he was forced to try coercing Fane.

Ethan's death would entail his misery after all, seeing as Ethan was special—a talented alchemist. As long as Ethan did not die, Ethan would be one of the top eighth-grade alchemists in the future.

Nurturing an alchemist required a lot of resources, and the Pentagram Clan had invested a lot in Ethan. If Ethan died, then those investments would go up in flames.

would get dragged into it. Even if Ethan had requested everything himself, even if Ethan had refused to listen to anything he said, the blame would still fall on him!

After all, he was Ethan's team leader, and regardless of what happened, he would be held responsible

Ethan died. There was no telling how angry the higher ups would be and how he would be punished

Even if he was a chosen disciple in the Pentagram Clan, he was not the only one in the clan. It was not like he had no enemies in the clan either, and it would be the perfect chance to deal with him. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Those who were not on good terms with him would not let the chance to deal with him slip. They would try everything in their power to have the higher ups give him the death penalty!

Fane raised an eyebrow curiously. He never expected that Trevor would humble himself and try to negotiate.

Fane gazed at Trevor again, noting how bloodshot his eyes were and how his lips shivered. It was obvious how much he was begging Fane.

Fane let out a laugh before he said, "There's nothing that I desire. You can give me whatever I'd want, anyway."

Trevor's face darkened as he said loudly," Do you know what you're doing, Fane?

You're challenging the Pentagram Clan. If you kill Ethan, you'll be the enemy of the whole clan!"
