When Ricky stared at Pearl, his fierce eyes clouded with ominous hatred.
Out of dignity, Ricky would never harm a woman. But Pearl was an exception. Her callous heart, conceit and preference for violence were not something a sensible man would put up with. Now looking at her, he wished her dead with any scruples.
'If it were not for my survival skills, Soar, the three women and I would have died here.' thought Ricky.
He was seething with anger.
But Pearl knew he would let her off the hook, once his temper cooled down. Right now, she was feigning an indifferent attitude.
Besides, she knew that the spiritual emperors at the Oriental College would intervene and restrain Ricky if he lost his temper.
'Is he really gonna kill her?' all warriors and spiritual king beasts around wondered, sensing the intense hatred and anger from Ricky.
There was no doubt he could defeat Pearl. But he could not kill her since she was the daughter of a spiritual emperor.
In fact, both of them were related to spiritual emperors. But these emperors had similar strengths. If Ricky killed Pearl, he would face the wrath of her father.
His friends would also get involved in. So he couldn't just kill her without considering anything.
"Sir, will Ricky really kill Pearl?" In particular, the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King were uneasy.
If Pearl died, the spiritual emperor of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce would not take it lying down. In retaliation, he would cause trouble to not only Ricky but also the entire Oriental College.
"I guess he knows what he's doing," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor observed.
He was ready to end the selection, if Ricky was really going to kill Pearl.
...
"Ricky, you have to forgive Pearl, despite her gross misconduct. At least, for the moment. Please don't be so impulsive." Worrying that he would harm Pearl, Madeline pleaded for some lenience on the girl.
Thanks to her entreating, Ricky dropped the thought of getting even.
What Madeline said made sense.
And Ricky also knew well, it was not right to act on impulse.
The Oriental Emperor would try to stop him, not only for the Oriental College, but also for Ricky.
Besides, even if the Oriental Emperor didn't stop Ricky, was Ricky really brave enough to kill her now?
Ricky was also clear that Soar, Madeline and the other warriors of the Snow Land would be targeted by the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce if Pearl was killed.
So Ricky couldn't dare touch Pearl.
'All that matters is to acquire stronger power!' Ricky thought. His speed and strength had growth faster than expected. But he was still held back from taking matters into his hands.
Having no other choice, he put down his ready fist.
"Ah! Don't you want to kill me now?" Pearl teased.
"I only spared your life out of respect for those spiritual emperors behind," Ricky retorted.
"But, keep in mind. I was a peerless genius, and now I'm an ace genius. One day, I'll become a spiritual emperor!
