You could never truly blame the Scar King for feeling depressed. Anyone who was being controlled by another person would feel uneasy and annoyed. And besides, no one wanted to be treated like that in the first place.
He was a powerful completed spiritual king, in fact. Or at least, he used to be. But now, he had another identity—a demi-immortal's servant! How could he be happy in dealing with this fact?
However, it was already too late to change anything for the die was already cast. There was nothing he could do now, but to accept his fate. Once the bonding contract was successfully made into an agreement, it could not be terminated. However, the contract could only be terminated if the master voluntarily terminated the contract, or if the servant gained the supreme enlightenment. But now, those options were far-fetched because he knew that those situations would never happen to him.
At that moment, the Scar King wished and thought of killing Ricky, Doris, and everyone he would touch to vent out his anger. But unfortunately, he knew well enough that he was no match for Doris. Meanwhile, at the back of his mind, he prayed that Ricky would treat him nicely in the future.
He had also vowed to protect Ricky so that he could keep his master safe. After all, any servant was obliged to do that. His only goal was to keep Ricky alive and safe from harm and protect him with his life. There would be consequences if he failed to do so.
Upon hearing the Scar King's words, Ricky, Soar, and Tina became excited. Initially, they had only wished to protect themselves by releasing Doris' spiritual hologram from the airship. At that moment, they only wanted to jeopardize and startle the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce and the other forces. But they had never anticipated that Doris would be of so much help to them that they had a completed spiritual king as their servant.
"Thank you so much for all your help, Doris," Ricky said to the spiritual hologram the moment he had the chance to.
"Tina is with you now. Protecting you means protecting her. It's my pleasure," Doris said as a smile rested on her face.
"All right! That should be it for now! This spiritual hologram is going to rest and sleep again. Pay close attention as you only have your last chance to wake it up again. Summon it only when it's necessary. I'm not so worried about your safety now that you have a complete spiritual king by your side to protect you. And more than that, I am relieved that you are now in good hands. You cannot be easily hurt in this place from now on,"
Doris said as she gave her last piece of advice to the group. After Doris' spiritual hologram finished her final words, it then entered the airship and became dormant. Then, the airship swooped and entered Tina's body.
After that, they all took a glance at the Scar King.
But as they looked at the Scar King, all they saw was his furrowed eyebrows, along with his unhappy and upsetting face.
"Ha-ha! What happened to you? Just a few moments ago you were so arrogant and obnoxious! What about now? Where did all of your arrogance go?" Soar said before he burst into laughter with joy as he gave the Scar King a menacing taunt.
It was not long after that Ricky signaled to Soar to stop teasing.
"Hello, I think we haven't had the chance to meet properly. Please, let me just introduce myself officially. My name is Ricky Nan." Ricky then turned to look at the man and greeted him with a smiling and friendly face.
"I'm Scar! You can just call me Scar, master," the man, Scar, replied as he lowered his head and bowed to Ricky as a gesture of respect. Although he was very unwilling to do this, he had to behave well. He knew well enough that Ricky would be able to kill him easily if he wanted to. And from that situation, the Scar King very well knew that he would not be able to protect himself if that situation was to happen.
"Okay, Scar. Although you are my servant now, you don't need to behave over cautiously! I would like you to understand that I will not abuse this contract in any way to harm you. Unless, of course, you do something very bad," Ricky warned.
"I don't need you to address me as master. You can just call me Ricky. But if someday you can't help but admire me, you can call me Master Ricky at that time. I think that would do."
Scar raised his head up and stared at Ricky with his eyes opening wide. He was surprised at what Ricky had said.
It seemed that this young man in front of him was totally different from those arrogant young masters from other forces. The latter would yell at him and give him maltreatment as long as he did anything that wasn't up to their taste.
Unlike any other people, this young man had nothing but respect for him and did not force him to do anything.
And from that point onward, Scar began to admire Ricky a bit more.
"Okay, then. I will respect your wishes and address you as Ricky from now on. If you really make me admire you more from the bottom of my heart, I will then start to call you Master Ricky when that day comes," Scar said with humility.
His voice was not arrogant anymore, but instead full of worship.
"If you use the power of the contract to force me into calling you Master Ricky now, then I could only do as you say."
