Souza got more and more confused, feeling like there was something off about how Chris and Edward were looking
at him.
It was hard to blame Souza for not understanding the situation. After all, he knew where he stood.
His skills were no threat to both men. Heck, they did not need to treat him with any sense of alarm. Yet, Souza felt
like he could feel a touch of alertness in Chris and Edward‘s eyes, which somewhat baffled him.
Why was Chris cautious of him?
What was there to be cautious of?
He was the one who had to be careful about Chris, yet both men eyed him as though he posed an ominous threat.
It caused Souza a great deal of confusion.

Chris said lightly, “Do you think your petty tricks can fool us? You want to work with Edward to kill me before you kill
Edward yourself, making you the victor!”
Souza frowned as his breathing quickened. He could not help but say, “What are you talking about? You speak as if
I’m particularly strong…”
After hearing that, Chris let out a laugh of frustration.
He coldly laughed as he said, “Cut the crap, why don’t you. I’ve seen through you, there’s no point in acting
anymore!”
Souza was more and more confused.
He said with a puzzled expression, ”What kind of act am I putting up? I don’t understand what you’re both saying!”
Souza truly did not understand what they were saying, and the two of them had very strange expressions. He felt
his heart beating quickly, feeling like he could not figure out the situation at all.
When the warriors at the viewing area heard their conversation, there were a lot of discussions.
“If I was Souza, I wouldn’t understand what they’re saying either. After all, he’s probably thinking that Chris and
Edward are acting way too strangely…”
“They’re clearly so strong, but they’re acting so cautious around him. They’re even speaking with a hint of warning
and alarm. It’d be so confusing!”
“I’m beginning to feel some pity for Souza. He’s probably very afraid right now because he can already feel that
Chris might attack him. However, he can’t figure out Chris’ actions.”
A disciple from the Frenzied Blade Clan said, “I pity Souza. He doesn’t know what’s happening at all. If he knew,
he’d definitely cry out that he was framed. If he really did have the skills, Souza would’ve let everyone know,

considering how he is. Would he have hidden his powers?”
A warrior from White Marsh Continent said, “If I was Chris, that’d be my conclusion, too. I would’ve thought that
Souza was the dark horse. After all, after eliminating everyone else, Souza and Jack are the only ones left”
“Without looking at Jack’s actions through the massive scroll, I would never have guessed that Jack is this strong.
Furthermore, Chris hates Jack so much. He’s naturally proud, so even ifhe found some clues, there‘s no way he’d
admit to how strong Jack is!”
“You’re right. He had access to look at everything, so we know that Jack is the secret genius! Chris and the others
only saw the corpses and don’t know anything else. On top of that, they had a fixed opinion of Jack, so they
automatically eliminated Jack from their consideration and were left with Souza!”
“That’s right. No matter what Souza says, Chris and Edward would think that he’s lying. The more confused Souza
acts, the more the two of them will believe their judgment!”
