No one uttered even a single word at this moment.
The Chief of the Sky Manor's words resounded, instantly causing a hush to fall over the Palace.
Although everything was quiet, both Ricky and Kristen were startled. What they feared the most had just happened! They underestimated the observation competence of the Chief of the Sky Manor, a middle spiritual king who shared the same blood and power of blood eyes with Kristen!
Ricky steadied himself quickly because he had prepared to be discovered right before he entered the Sky Manor.
Ricky still entered at the risk of getting caught because of his trust in Kristen. She told him that she was one hundred percent sure that she could keep him safe and sound even if he got caught.
This promise had reassured Ricky, and so he agreed to come.
Ricky took off the mask on his face and revealed his long-lost face.
"Normally, such a mask would have been crafted by a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, or a superb casting master at the inferior stage of Spirit Level, which shows your special identity-- or, the great opportunity you had," The Chief analyzed, at the sight of Ricky's mask.
She was more impressed than angry.
But soon, she became rather shocked, staring closely at Ricky's face.
She was familiar with this face, as well as all the innate spirits in the Realm of Wildness, because this face had impressed them so much.
After all, its owner possessed treasures they did not have. Of course they admired him!
"You are Ricky!" exclaimed the Chief, a hint of excitement showing on her face.
And then she activated her power and got ready to attack him because she could not resist the temptation of Ricky's spiritual weapons, especially his spiritual space tool.
Having noticed the power around the Chief and realizing what she was about to do, Kristen dashed in front of Ricky and released her demi-immortal power to protect him from her sister.
Kristen was admirably determined to protect Ricky, and he was grateful for her gesture.
Seeing what Kristen was doing for Ricky, the Chief recalled her power quickly. Even though she was strict with Kristen, she really cared about her sister.
Seeing how Kristen had reacted, the Chief deduced that Kristen found out Ricky's true identity long before she brought him back and that they had grown quite close to each other.
She assumed that Ricky also knew how she and Kristen were related.
"Sister, please stop it or I will choose to be on Ricky's side," raising her head, Kristen claimed with firm resolution, even if she was blind.
"Looks like you had already revealed your identity to him," said the Chief, her voice deepening.
"Sister, Ricky is one of my close friends, just like Tyson," Kristen said with a deep voice as well. "So I guess you must know what I mean."
Having heard this, the Chief grew silent.
She knew very well that Kristen treated Tyson as her brother. And if she treated Ricky the same way now, it would make it very difficult for the Chief to do what she wanted with Ricky.
