As he spoke these words, Fred couldn't help but fix his gaze on Ye Xunhuan. The meaning was obvious.
Yet Ye Xunhuan acted as if he hadn't noticed Fred's gaze, his face calm and unbothered.
Facing such composure from Ye Xunhuan, a flash of menace flickered in Fred's eyes.
This guy really thinks he's invincible!
Clarence was quite tempted by Fred's proposal. If he accepted, he could quietly slip away while Fred and Ye Xunhuan were locked in combat.
No matter if Ye Xunhuan survived or Fred died, he could live on and settle scores with both of them.
But Clarence also knew very well that Fred wouldn't be afraid of him fleeing mid-way if he dared to invite him to team up against Ye Xunhuan.
If he didn't accept Fred's proposal, then both would want to kill him, but probably neither would truly make a move.
After all, he wasn't one to be trifled with either.
This left Clarence feeling tempted yet conflicted.
Just as Clarence was wavering, Fred spoke again: "Clarence, have you thought it over?"
Upon hearing Fred's words again, Clarence slowly released a breath and heavily said, "Fred, I refuse to cooperate with you!"
Saying this, Clarence slowly turned his head, his gaze settling on Ye Xunhuan: "Marshal, why don't we team up? What do you think, we kill him and then settle our accounts slowly!"
Seeing Clarence wanting to team up with Ye Xunhuan, Fred's eyes narrowed slowly, a gleam of cold light shooting out.
Faced with Clarence's invitation, Ye Xunhuan was unsurprised, remaining very calm.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan's exceedingly calm face, Clarence spoke again: "What do you say, Marshal? Although I want to deal with you, I'm coming openly, while he shoots arrows from the shadows!"
"I can only count as a petty person, while he is a hypocrite. You should know who is scarier between the two!"
"You make a good point." Ye Xunhuan nodded earnestly.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Clarence's face suddenly lit up with joy: "Does that mean you've agreed?"
Although cooperating with Ye Xunhuan also meant facing the possibility of being killed by him later, it was undeniable that partnering with Ye Xunhuan was definitely better than cooperating with a despicable person like Clarence!
At least there was no worry of someone shooting from the shadows.
"I only said you made a good point," Ye Xunhuan replied indifferently.
Clarence's face was instantly filled with shock: "Marshal, do you mean to..."
"I think it's better as it is," Ye Xunhuan softly interrupted Clarence, "Let's stick to our own sides, and no one think about running."
Ye Xunhuan surely understood Clarence's little schemes!
But Ye Xunhuan didn't see collaboration with them as any benefit.
After all, these two had selfish motives.
Even though Clarence's little ruse was exposed by Ye Xunhuan, he felt no embarrassment, only anger.
He initially thought Ye Xunhuan might team up with him to kill Fred, but who could have imagined that Ye Xunhuan would refuse without hesitation, without even considering.
But upon reconsideration, the anger in Clarence's heart gradually subsided.
Even though Ye Xunhuan refused, given the current situation, Fred probably wouldn't dare to strike first either, because no one could guarantee that the other person wouldn't stab them in the back.
"Marshal, you think that like this, I won't dare to make a move?" Fei Lei sneered disdainfully: "If that's what you think, then you're mistaken!"
"I never thought you wouldn't dare to make a move, considering you're well-prepared and surely have people in the shadows," Ye Xunhuan said calmly: "Let them all come out, let me see how many you've got in ambush."
"As you wish."
With that, Fred immediately shouted: "Kurt, bring them out!"
As Fred's words fell, a derisive laugh suddenly echoed around.
The laughter was not only piercing but also gave off a sinister vibe.
Hearing this piercing sound, Clarence seemed to recall something dreadful and not only felt as if facing an enemy but sweat began to bead slowly on his forehead.
The next moment, two men appeared beside Fred, one old, one middle-aged.
The old man wore a black robe, holding a scepter in his right hand, exuding a sinister and evil aura, and perhaps due to possessing some secret technique, a black mist emanated from him even under the lights.
The other middle-aged man was particularly muscular, his eyes like those of a hungry tiger.
The old man seemed to possess a certain magic that, upon his appearance, held Clarence's gaze firmly upon him, unable to shift.
"Elder Jonah, you... you actually..." Clarence's voice was filled with an indescribable shock.
"Little Wolf King, I think Fred has a point, you're not fit for this position."
Jonah's voice was piercing, raspy and chilling, as if it came from a lifeless corpse, robotic.
Clarence's face instantly turned very ugly.
Ye Xunhuan didn't know Jonah, but Clarence did, and he was clear.
This was an elder of their wolf clan, and also a hidden elder who wouldn't appear unless a holy war broke out or the clan faced extinction.
Who would have thought Fred would invite him out now.
Was today truly his day of doom?
Clarence didn't think Ye Xunhuan could defeat Jonah, who represented the strongest power of their wolf clan.
Now that he showed himself, if he attacked Ye Xunhuan, then Clarence and Kurt could attack him...
Thinking this, Clarence's face was filled with unprecedented bitterness and helplessness.
At this moment, he finally understood why Fred dared to be so arrogant, because he had Jonah backing him, and Jonah was now worldly!
"Marshal, now we really need to unite, otherwise you and I will die here." Clarence immediately turned his gaze to Ye Xunhuan: "He's one of the strongest masters of our wolf clan, Jonah."
Even if Clarence didn't say it, Ye Xunhuan could tell Jonah wasn't easy to handle.
Upon Jonah's appearance, Ye Xunhuan felt distinctly uncomfortable, a great pressure weighing on his heart.
This feeling he hadn't encountered for a long time.
Now here he was, once again sensing this long-lost oppression and aura of death.
