The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2733

What? Claude helped outsiders and joined them belittling Fane? He was just there to fill up the numbers! Should they not be talking about how Fane had soiled the valley's good name with his poor performance? Why was Elder Turner defending Fane against Claude?

The elders were baffled by the sudden turn of events.

Meanwhile, Elder Rick's eyes widened as he stared at Elder Turner. He wanted to say something at that moment, and he even wanted to snatch the merit log from Elder Turner to see what had actually happened during the tournament.

Nonetheless, he knew that he would be overstepping his boundaries if he did that. With Elder Turner's temper, things would not go well for him. With that, Elder Rick swallowed his words.

Claude shivered as cold sweat started to form on his head, his eyes reddening in the process. He wanted to explain himself at that moment, but he did not have the words to do so, believing it would not be appropriate. He was worried that he would just make matters worse.

With that, the hall fell into silence.

Elder Turner let out a sneer as he coldly remarked, as though he was making a final judgment of Claude. "Do

you have nothing to say for yourself? Well, I wouldn't know what to say, either. After all, nothing you did was right."

Claude could hear the anger in Elder Turner's words and quickly prostrated himself. He quickly crawled toward Elder Turner, crying as he did.

"I was triggered, but only at that moment! You can't blame me for this... Fane was the start of it all, not watching his words carefully, and that was why I fell out with him!

Elder Rick could no longer sit still and watch.

He pretended to clear his throat. "Even though I don't know what happened, I can't just listen on silently. Claude doesn't strike me as a person who'd act rashly. Didn't he say that before? Fane was the one who started everything, which is why Claude acted the way he did."

Elder Rick's words were not to help Claude, but to target Fane instead. Nonetheless, Claude felt like he found a savior with the way Elder Rick had spoken. 1

He raised his voice and said, "Elder Rick is right; I didn't intentionally say all of that! I just unwittingly revealed when Fane entered Phoenix Valley. I was just too angry then and acted impulsively.

"If Fane had just been friendly with me from the start, nothing like that would've happened! After all, we're both on the same side, so how could I betray him?"
