Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 396

Snap! Snap! The sound of knuckles cracking resounded in the area.

The moment Seth finished speaking, the crisp sound came abruptly, growing even more ferocious when he humiliated Grace with the word, 'ugly.' Needless to say, the sound was from Ricky's clenching hands—he was clearly in great fury, now.

Who was Grace? What was she to Ricky? For him, she was to be most respected person, apart from being one of the most important people in his heart—he loved and cherished her life and reputation above his own.

Seth's deliberate, harsh words had offended Ricky, almost to the point of stepping in. At that point, he would never forgive Seth's behavior.

However, Grace seemed to show no reaction whatsoever to the word, 'ugly.'

After all, she had already heard too much of the same. To stop herself from lashing out, she could only pretend to be indifferent to such insults. As time passed, she turned immune to it on the surface. But no woman in the world didn't care about their appearance. Even Grace couldn't deny that the words were hurtful deep down, and too harsh for any woman.

At that moment, she and all those on-site noticed Ricky's obvious change.

Well aware of why Ricky was enraged, she was touched—she knew he wanted to protect her.

But she wasn't yet fully aware that Ricky's reaction was not only due to his respect for her as a master of martial arts.

"Haha! You've fallen in love with this ugly woman, haven't you?"

As Seth teased him, he burst out laughing in delight and the four warriors from the Wang Clan followed suit.

Felicia, however, was feeling a little uncomfortable. With her instinct as a woman, she could tell that Seth had hit the nail on the head—even if Grace wasn't an attractive woman, Ricky seemed to have had some special feelings for her.

The truth was hard to believe. It wasn't that Ricky wasn't allowed to fall in love with Grace—it just came as a surprise to find that he would fall in love with someone who wasn't considered 'beautiful, ' especially in the world of warriors where the strong preyed on the weak.

Although Grace had attractive features, the red birthmark on her face made people regard her as hideous.

While Felicia always thought she was pretty, along the way of their trip, she figured that Ricky merely regarded her as one of his friends—he didn't look at her with the affectionate eyes he had for Grace.

From his silent fury, it was obvious that Grace had a great hold on Ricky's heart.

"Whoever dares insult my master will have to die!"

Hearing Seth and his sidekicks laughing, Ricky roared ferociously.

Now, Grace was also aware that Ricky's fury had shifted from before. This time, he seemed to have lost his temper not only because of their relationship as a master and disciple but also because of his affection for her. As a woman, Grace had such an intuition.

"Does… does Ricky…" Grace muttered to herself quietly as she came to terms with the matter.

But she did not have the courage to think any further.

Although there weren't many laws in the world of warriors, his feelings for her were against the norm. Of course, if Ricky became an undefeated warrior, no one would dare to gossip about his relationship. Such was the privilege of a strong warrior. But he was not one of them and whether or not he could become one could only be determined later on.

"Master? She is his master?"

Hearing what Ricky announced, Seth and his companions were left stunned.

'If she's his master… they can't be in love!' Felicia instantly thought. But she couldn't deny that the news also sparked a trace of inexplicable excitement.

"Haha! Master… she's actually your master! You two shouldn't be involved in anything romantic. I can't believe that the Ricky, famous in the Realm of Wildness, not only loves an ugly woman… she also happens to be his own master! Haha!"

Hearing Ricky's ferocious roaring, Seth teased him in disdain, only bursting into more laughter.
