Chapter 302
"How’s it going?" Ernest appeared next to Anfey and asked . He saw Anfey’s eyes were looking at something, and found Entos following Anfey’s gaze . Entos had just reappeared and caught his magic wand . Ernest knew it was Entos who threw Anfey and was very unhappy with his actions .
"Anfey!" Suzanna exclaimed and crouched down next to him . She rested a hand on his shoulder and looked at him nervously .
"I’m fine," Anfey said with a grin .
"Why are you smiling?" Suzanna asked, frustrated with his attitude . She was worried, but she did not want to show it because she knew it would make Ernest feel even worse .
"I’m fine, really," Anfey said, pushing himself up .
"Wait," Ernest said . "Take your time . " He reached out and supported Anfey with his hand . Even though Anfey attacked first and Ernest was forced to fight him, Ernest still felt bad for hurting him .
"I’m really fine," Anfey said . "I know myself . Don’t worry," Anfey said and pushed himself off of the ground . Ernest hadn’t actually directly attacked him . Anfey was only thrown back by his combat power . The only damage this would cause was some bruises . Anfey only acted injured to test Entos’s reaction . He kept his act because he didn’t want Entos to realize he was only acting .
"Be careful," Ernest said . He was still worried after seeing Anfey stand up . "Are you sure you’re fine?"
"Really," Anfey said with a smile . "Relax . Today is a successful day, I think . "
"Anfey!" Suzanna said, frowning . There was fleeting suspicion in her eyes . Anfey’s actions today were strange . Normally, even when Anfey was losing, he could hold his ground . Today he was defeated after one blow . This was very unusual . She knew that she was nowhere near as powerful as Ernest, and Anfey might not be able to hold his ground against Ernest, but it was still very strange .
Anfey raised his arms and took a few steps forward . He suddenly stumbled as if he still needed support . He looked at Suzanna and leaned against her . "We need to talk," he whispered . Suzanna nodded .
"What is successful?" Ernest asked .
"Well, I came to understand the difference between a top level power and me," Anfey said . "Also, I found a path that suits me . "
"A path that suits you?" Ernest asked, lifting a brow . He recalled the fight and frowned . It was the first time Anfey had used teleportation in combat, and he did not choose the right spot to reappear . He had to bend down to hit Ernest with his staff . If he become familiar with this fighting style, it would be very effective . What if he was using weapons he was familiar with? It would be very effective, indeed .
"It will work the first time, but not a second time," Anfey said, shaking his head .
Entos and Marino were walking over . After hearing Anfey and Ernest’s conversation, they both frowned .
Entos looked down at his wand . His wand could use instantaneous teleportation and did not require spells . It was his last resort . The stronger he grew, the less he needed the wand . He hadn’t used it in a few years now .
Entos realized he had made a mistake . He did not remember that strength and momentum were preserved even after he teleported . Usually, he wouldn’t start attacking until after he had teleported . Anfey, however, attacked before he teleported . This saved a lot of time and could have changed the fight if he were really fighting for his life . If he had anticipated Anfey’s method, he would have won .
"A second time?" Ernest asked, then nodded . He knew what Anfey meant . This method only had one chance, and it had to be lethal . If the first time did not work, the opponent would be prepared for a second time . He lifted his head suddenly to look at Marino .
Entos once said that the heads of the major mercenary groups were all difficult people . Marino proved Entos correct . He realized Ernest was staring at him and understood Ernest’s mistrust towards him . He raised his hand and said, "You know I would not tell anyone what happened here . "
Ernest nodded, then turned back to Anfey and said, "Take a few steps and see what happens . " He was very worried before he noticed that Anfey’s breathing pattern was still very steady . He relaxed visibly .
Anfey nodded . He let go of Suzanna’s shoulder and took a few careful steps . His acting was good enough that no one became suspicious .
"What are you doing?" Saul’s voice asked from up ahead . He was coming down the path with Niya . Saul looked at ease, but Niya seemed depressed . If it was another person, her change in mood would be unnoticeable . However, NIya was a very outgoing and happy person, and it was rare to see her in such a bad mood .
"I was just practicing, Master," Anfey said .
"I see," Saul said . "Good . Don’t let yourself rust . "
Niya suddenly frowned and glanced at Anfey . She blinked a few times and stopped . However, her actions were too conspicuous and everyone saw them . Anfey felt Entos and Marino were both staring at him strangely .
"Father, I don’t want to go anymore," Niya said quietly .
"What?" Saul asked, surprised . "Why not?"
