"Right, but whether it is true or not, we have to go," Terrence said gravely, hearing Ricky's words. "He asked us to go to the sandy lake that came out of nowhere. Is there a connection between the Land of Legacy of Massacring Holy Ants and the sandy lake?" Terrence then asked.
"Maybe. This gathering might be our last one. We will come out of this either winners or losers," Ricky answered almost to himself.
They fell silent after that and marched toward the sandy lake.
… All the creatures in the Sand Region were heading toward the sandy lake. No creature here could resist it even if it meant having to face the mysterious Henry.
The sandy lake had already expanded, and now it was as large as several cities combined. If the expansion continued, the whole Sand Region would eventually be covered by the sandy lake.
Within several days, all the creatures gathered around the lake.
Of course Ricky and his friends came as well.
And so did Pearl and the others.
However, at this moment, Ricky and Pearl did not want to pick a fight against each other because they were both under immense pressure from Henry.
Pearl even told Ricky using her internal power, "Ricky, the feud between us is about life and death, but I think we should let it go for now because neither of us would like to be killed by Henry."
Ricky was surprised at Pearl's words. He smiled. "It's quite surprising. I didn't imagine that the arrogant Pearl would say such words.
If I'm not mistaken, before you entered the Sand Region, you said that you would never make friends with your enemies."
'It seems that Henry did put Pearl under pressure. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those things to me considering who she is, ' Ricky thought to himself.
"You misunderstand. I'm not trying to make friends with you. I just want to put aside our fight until we know who Henry really is. When all this is done, I will still kill you," Pearl replied remorselessly.
Pearl really did not want to tell Ricky about this, especially because Ricky was her family's ultimate enemy in the world of martial arts. It was against her pride to even think about forging an alliance with him albeit temporary.
However, Henry's power and mystery imposed a greater threat to her.
The only one by her side that could actually help her was Ronson. However, Pearl knew what Ronson was up to. When push came to shove, Ronson would betray her without hesitation.
If she did not stop the fight with Ricky now, Ronson would probably join Henry's side. Then she would truly have no other way.
Of course she had also thought about a truce with Henry. However, after careful consideration, she still chose Ricky.
"I've already made it clear. Do you agree or not?" Pearl said coldly.
"You should've known that I would agree. You wouldn't have asked otherwise," Ricky smiled.
In fact, even if Pearl did not ask, Ricky would stop the fight with Pearl for the moment. Henry was a bigger threat.
