The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2179

Fane chuckled as he slightly raised his chin. "What's so frightening about a person who only knows how to parade his power and fight without converging his thoughts?"

Elder Godfrey nodded at Fane's comments about Griffin; they were no doubt accurate. "In that case, why do you look rather troubled? Is something occupying you?"

Fane did not hide his thoughts and nodded. "My thoughts went to the Second Elder because of Griffin. What the Second Elder said on the round platform has left a deep impression, and I feel that it’d be difficult to handle him. I didn't say this in hopes of causing you trouble. I just think that it's rather unwise for you to offend both elders at the same time. The First Elder is fine, but the Second Elder is difficult to handle."

Fane spoke with such sincerity that Elder Godfrey nodded. He naturally took what Fane said into his heart. He moved over and looked at Fane before stretching out his hand to slightly pat Fane on his shoulder. "I know you mean well with what you said. In fact, I've already made the necessary considerations and you're right. Compared to the First Elder, it's much more difficult to handle the Second Elder. However, I'm really unlucky. As the Eleventh Elder, I’m a person who's capable of disturbing the peace. The Second Elder will still do something

against me if he isn't completely certain that he can gain my support. If so, then I have nothing to worry about. Since the two of them will do something to me sooner or later, why should I bend to their will?"

Fane nodded softly. His eyes flickered as a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Elder Godfrey glanced at him and said softly, "I know what you're thinking, but I don't wish to be a lackey. I didn't practice martial arts to listen to others. If I choose a side now and become a lackey to one of those two, that'd be going against my way of practicing martial arts. This is something I can never do."

A slightly imposing look appeared in Fane's eyes. He admired how Elder Godfrey handled things. He would rather become their enemy or hide far away instead of becoming their lackey and do things for them.
