The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 2001

After all, Fane had mentally prepared himself for all the gossip that would inevitably happen once his presence was made known in the wager battle arena. However, the same could not be said for Brook as Wesley and his group kept looking over in their direction.

Brook sighed and whispered to Fane, “Be careful, Brother Fane. Those people over there don’t seem to be looking at us too kindly. I bet that Wesley has some tricks up his sleeve when it’s your turn to fight against him.”

He did not doubt that Wesley would do everything short of killing Fane and to his words, Fane only nodded. He, too, had expected that. Brooke found Fane’s composure a bit odd. Although he knew that Fane possessed extraordinary power, that did not mean that he could win in a fight against Wesley, who was in the running to be a chosen disciple after only joining for half a year. Wesley’s power and talent were something Brook had wished for himself for the longest time.

“You don’t seem to be worried?” asked Brook when he realized Fane was still staring impassively at the arena, waiting for the fight to start, which would take another thirty minutes.

“Why should I worry? Did you think that I agreed to the fight because I want to protect my pride?” Fane retorted.

‘Isn’t it?’ thought Brook. He had always thought that was the reason or else why would Fane agree to fight a person who was way stronger than him? He did not think there was even a chance for the fight to come to a draw, and winning over Wesley would be even more impossible.
