"Well, well well... If it isn't 'Ricky the genius Young Master? Why are you here? A servant could have run this errand. Oh, that's right. I forgot. You're now the Loser Ricky, the waste of blood, who has no servant at all. Ha ha!" The handsome guy sneered at Ricky and laughed loudly the moment he saw him.
"Ha ha! Ricky the waste of blood!" The woman laughed at Ricky as well, covering her mouth with her hand. She wore a disgusted look on her face.
Neither the young man nor the young woman bothered to hide their expressions. How they felt was how they felt, and the waste of blood before them wasn't worthy of any kind of respect, either feigned or not.
Ricky glanced at the two and quickened his pace as he just wanted to leave the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion.
"Avery! Young master! Help!" Avery looked around, and saw two strong men from the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion. They were bumping into each other, sometimes almost falling. They were also being quite loud about it. They were headed his way.
Both of them spoke quickly, words spilling out of their mouths faster than they could think. They gave their account of how Ricky grabbed the Body Refining Pill against the rules of the Nan Clan.
"Idiots! You can't even handle a waste of blood with no spiritual meridian!" Avery pushed one of the men away, and kicked the other one. He strode up to Ricky and stood in front of him, blocking his way.
Avery was Nate's cousin, and had a one-star top-grade spiritual meridian. He was also at the peak of the third grade of the Skin Refining Level.
"Loser! You broke the rules of our clan! You should die for robbing from the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion," Avery said to Ricky arrogantly. He gave Ricky a cold smile and continued, "Besides, the Dominant Top Elder has ordered everyone lower than the third grade of the Skin Refinement to the mine. Head there now and report for work!"
Avery had accused Ricky of the two most unforgivable crimes of disobeying the rules of the clan and the order from the Dominant Top Elder.
"You used to have talent, but you lost your spiritual meridian. So hand over the Body Refining Pill, and go to the mine to atone. Since you and Nate were close friends, I'm sure he might make you the overseer," the woman said, pointing at Ricky's nose. She wiggled her slim waist charmingly, laughing at him.
She was Inge—her father was one of the head servants. When Ricky was on top, Inge followed him around like a lost puppy and told everyone she was Ricky's concubine.
Now the situation had changed, so the woman threw herself at Nate. But Nate wasn't interested, so she moved on to his cousin Avery.
"They say your bark is worse than your bite. Problem is, you can't even bark properly!" Ricky spoke coldly, regarding the two of them with an icy stare.
"Go to hell!" Avery had enough. Furious, he struck at Ricky with the Whiz Fist, and everyone could hear what sounded like the roar of a tiger.
"Hum!" Ricky sneered and fought back with the same move, Whiz Fist. When in doubt, fight fire with fire.
Ricky's maneuver, however, sounded fiercer than Avery's. His sound was like a real tiger roaring, shocking everyone.
And that threw off Avery completely. How could a loser make his punch roar like that?
He only had a split second to think about it. He was imagining what kind of pain he would inflict on Ricky, maybe even break his arm and knock him to the ground.
Bang! On the first pass, Avery and Ricky were locked in a fierce battle. Energy scattered in all directions, as their blows connected.
"Ahhh!"
A crowd had gathered to watch the fight. As expected, they heard one of the fighters cry out in pain. One of them flew backwards with the force of the blow, and landed on the ground heavily.
But soon every person there shook in fright, shocked. Especially Inge. They remained still for a while staring in disbelief at the fighter rolling on the ground. It was not Ricky, but Avery.
The only one standing was Ricky, the so-called 'waste of blood.' He didn't even look hurt.
