"My name is Henry Chen." Henry answered Pearl's question with a smile.
Then, he turned around and looked at Ricky. "Here we meet again, Ricky, the ace genius people talk about. I have this gut feeling that you must have made great progress," he said, still smiling.
"Henry, I never anticipated that you would appear here and stop the fight. Why did you do that?" Ricky asked with a serious look. Although Henry had a kind smile, Ricky still felt that Henry might have some evil intention, so he kept alert.
At the same time, Ricky also noticed the members of the Bu Clan, the Jiang Clan, and the Bing Clan.
At first, only those from the Bing Clan were with Henry, but now, everyone from the three clans was with Henry. They all behaved weirdly, which Ricky found strange.
Normally, they would become angry at the sight of Ricky, but they did not. Instead, they were vacant-eyed as if they did not know who Ricky was at all. They seemed to be under someone's control.
They were supposed to follow Pearl, not Henry.
And the strangest thing was that it seemed that they did not know who Pearl was either.
"Oh, Ricky, don't be so serious. I've just come at the right time, haven't I? If I'm guessing correctly, you don't want to fight against them, do you? I can see that you cannot defeat them within a short period of time because your strengths are comparable," Henry said.
"So, I just did you a favor by stopping the battle."
Hearing Henry's speech, Ricky fell silent. A few seconds later, he said, "You are right. I think I should thank you, Henry."
Henry was right. Ricky did not want to continue the fight.
Although Daisy, Warren, Thiago, and Terrence had reached the peak level as middle spiritual kings, they were still not as strong as Ricky. They still had to practice more before genuinely reaching Ricky's level.
As for Pearl, her two suitors, and the two commanders from the Nether Manor, all of them were at the same level with Ricky. So Ricky and his friends were not as strong as them in general.
Ricky and his friends came here because they had a secret weapon—a relatively smaller Spiritual Energy Gathering Array created by Thiago temporarily. They could carry it with them easily. Although it was not as strong as a real, powerful Spiritual Energy Gathering Array, it could enhance their power for a short period of time.
Within that period of time, Ricky had to fight and solve some problems.
"I feel so honored when an ace genius like you thanks me. At least, I did not come here in vain," Henry said, bursting into laughter.
The warriors in the surroundings were puzzled as they stared at Henry. They had never heard of Henry before. Judging from the fact that Henry successfully stopped the battle between Ricky and Pearl, everyone deduced that Henry must be a powerful warrior.
"Who do you think you are? You are being very bold to claim that you would stop the fight," Ronson interjected.
Before his voice could fade in the air, Ronson was already throwing a punch toward Henry ferociously. Pearl did not stop him. She looked at Henry, pondering how Henry would respond. She was curious about Henry's strength as well.
Ricky, on the other hand, was lost in thought. He would never doubt Henry's strength. Henry stopping the fight between him and Pearl was what bothered him.
Typically, Henry would gain more benefits if other warriors died here, especially strong warriors like Pearl. If Henry did not interfere, Pearl might get hurt. Now that Henry stopped the fight, Pearl would definitely remain unharmed. Why did Henry do that?
"Ricky, Henry probably has noticed that Pearl has teamed up with the commanders from the Nether Manor," Daisy told Ricky telepathically. "So he wants to team up with us as well."
"I hope so," Ricky responded.
