Chapter 2317


    Fane snorted, not thinking much about it. "I think he''d still be able to return. As long as all of us die


    here, no one will be able to prove what he did. He''d naturally be able to go back safely and might


    even receive a bountiful reward."


    The others visibly soured at this. Even though it was hard for them to criticize the situation, with


    Griffin''s status as well as the others from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion present, they still abhorred


    Griffin''s actions silently.


    Even scumbags would detest those who only knew how to suck up to others when challenges


    arose.


    Isaiah gritted his teeth as he said, "He''s gone too far. What he''s done before is one thing, but with


    what he did this time-"


    "That''s enough," interjected Fane as he raised his hand, "it''s not worth us wasting time talking about


    him at this point."


    Fane then slowly stood up and turned to look at Graham. "Do you have any way ofmunicating


    with the rest?


    "With them gathering up their forces against us, our best course of action is to gather everyst one


    of our manpower."


    Graham nodded grimly, hurriedly taking out the sound


    -transfer array and contacting everyone else. The Dual Sovereign Pavilion also had a way of


    sharing its location, butpared to the sound transfer array, it was far simpler.


    Nheless, it was still quite useful. After quickly contacting everyone in 15 minutes, they had


    notified everyone they could.


    After about two hours, all the surviving northern n disciples had been gathered. There were even


    those who had forced themselves toe over, despite varying injuries.


    After they did a headcount, they noticed that there were only 25 of them left. When they entered the


    Hidden ce for Resources, the northern n had brought in a total of 90 disciples. The losses


    were already more than two-thirds.


    It was a massive loss. Furthermore, it was not guaranteed that all 25 of them would make it out


    alive. The situation was already in an incredibly serious state.


    After everyone had gathered, the unsettling feeling had been somewhat quelled. Graham was busy


    consoling the other disciples, while Fane had picked a secluded spot and brought Nelson over as


    well.


    He sat down next to Nelson and tended to Nelson''s wounds, not saying a single word.


    Nelson looked at Fane helplessly. "Tell me: will we survive?"

    As he said that, he had an aura of despair and hopelessness about him. Fane could understand


    how he felt.


    After stabilizing the injuries, Fane told Nelson about Riv''s death. Nelson and Riv had been quite


    close, and when Nelson finally registered the news of his demise, his morale plunged into an all-


    new low.


    Fane shook his head. "There''s no point thinking about all this now; you better focus on recovering."


    At that moment, Graham''s voice could be heard from a distance, "Come, Fane. Let''s discuss our


    next course of action."


    Fane sighed in exasperation. In truth, he did not want to discuss anything with Graham. He kept


    feeling like even though the guy seemed like a perfect gentleman on the surface, he was, in truth,


    not that righteous.


    Unfortunately, at that moment, they were forced to work together, and staying as a group was the


    most sound choice. With that in mind, he was forced to walk toward Graham.


    Graham anxiously said, "Fane, what do you think his goal is?"


    Fane let out a small chuckle. "That''s not hard to guess."
