The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



After a long silence, someone said, "It looks like Fane has been truthful all along. It's just a pity that Chris doesn't want to listen, and we've all had such a thought. We'd probably remain like Chris if we hadn't seen him in action and think he's just pompous!"

"I'll have a bone to pick with anyone who says that Fane's putting on an act from now on. Is this called an act? He's just telling the truth! It's just that no one wants to listen to him!"

At that moment, Chris was stubbornly refusing to listen. He even felt like Fane had probably hit his head too hard. Otherwise, there was no way Fane would say things that were so hilarious.

Edward's lips twitched, saying in exasperation, "Things have gotten this far, but you're still so stubborn! Do you need to start banging your head against the wall before you realize how absurd everything you say is? You truly have expanded my horizons. I've never seen someone as stubborn as you.

"You're clearly afraid, and you know you're no match for me, but you insist on putting up a front and even facing us head-on! I really don't understand what you're thinking!"

At that moment, Edward did not think that there was something wrong with Fane's head; just that he could not figure out what Fane was thinking. He knew that others had left marks on him and gotten rid of them. It meant that Fane did not want others to find him, so he had to be afraid. Yet, Fane chose to walk out at that moment and kept on challenging Chris!

Did Fane not know what his behavior would bring? Was it just him stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, even though he already knew the result? Even if he was going to be tortured, he still wanted to hold on!

Thinking about that, Edward let out a scoff as he shook his head in exasperation. He felt like Fane was just someone who rendered him speechless. Fane looked up at Edward and said calmly, "You'll find out in just a bit."

Edward was even more speechless at that, and he started to wonder if Fane truly was crazy. What kind of nonsense was he saying? Why was his tone even a little mysterious? What was he trying to do?

He looked away and ignored Fane. He had to first kill Souza with Chris before dealing with Fane. Fane would only stop being stubborn after they let him feel true pain and death!

Chris had the same thoughts on his mind as well, so he temporarily put his attention on Souza again. At that moment Souza was not listening to their conversation with Fane as well. Instead, he was thinking about how strangely Chris and Edward were acting earlier.

What did he even do?

During the start, he had been sent to a grassy, uneven-surfaced hill that helped him hide. Before participating in the slaughter gambit, he had known that others would leave marks on him, so clearing them was the first thing he did.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

After that, he headed north the

whole time, wary of any ambushes. He was also patiently observing his surroundings. He wanted to let others fight and swoop in to take advantage. He would either pick up what remained in the end or work with weaker opponents to kill the stronger ones first before he dealt with these temporary 'allies' personally.

He had prepared some pills that would stimulate his potential for this slaughter gambit and had planned on using them during the last battle to raise his power. Even though it had Sight effects, the side effects were irrelevant if he could win.

Yet, he never expected things to reach a stage he had never expected. Chris and Edward were acting far too strangely. His questions had gotten snide responses from Chris.

When he was deep in thought about the matter, Chris suddenly said to him, "Enough chit-chat. Let's settle this, now!"
