The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 2012

The man with triangular eyes strode rapidly toward Fane and narrowed his eyes at him as if Fane was the prey and he the predator. “I know what you’re trying to do!”

‘What am I trying to do?’ thought Fane with confusion.

The man with triangular eyes scoffed and with an exaggerated gasp pointed at Fane. “You’re trying to get out of the battle with Wesley!”

Fane’s lips immediately set in a hard line. He was looking at the man with triangular eyes as if he had just escaped from a mental asylum. “Please tell me what have I said to make you think that way? Why would I ask him for his wager if I don’t want to have a battle with him?”

The man with triangular eyes shook his shoulder, scoffed, and with a wave of his hand, said loudly, “You said you won’t fight against Brother Wesley if he didn’t offer up a wager. That’s proof you don’t want to get into a battle against him because you know that Brother Wesley is a proud person and if he offers up a wager then it means you have a chance of winning. He hates you so much so there’s no way he would do that!”

‘What kind of sh*t logic is this?’ thought Fane. He found the whole thing so absurd that he nearly burst out in laughter. However, he could tell the man with triangular eyes thought he had guessed correctly to Fane’s motive.

‘Huh! So he does know the meaning of the word ‘fear’. There’s no doubt he was acting all along,’ thought the man with triangular eyes, happy that he had managed to grab hold of his weakness.
