Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 686

No one spoke for a long time. The atmosphere in the space was too heavy and oppressive for words.

Finally, Henry decided to say something. "Ricky, I don't think this is a tricky problem. Only the lucky ones could get a chance. And they need to be strong enough.

That's why I think you should give the Massacring Antenna to us."

Ricky chuckled at his words, before giving a stern refusal. "I don't think this is a good idea. We fought hard to get the Massacring Antenna. We almost died because of it. If we give it to you so easily, all the hard work we've done until now would be in vain. Don't you think that's a little unfair to us?"

Through their telepathic connection, Ricky cast a simultaneous plea to his companion. "Pearl, I think we should prepare for a battle. It's going to be the ultimate fight. There's only two of us, while they have three warriors. There's a high chance we'd be defeated.

Of course, the choice is yours to make. I won't blame you if you choose to stand by their side."

Pearl didn't flinch upon hearing Ricky's words. The steady calm she expressed made it seem like she didn't hear anything at all. Only the new tension that appeared on her shoulders, as she began channeling her strength, showed that she was getting ready for a fight.

"Ricky, Pearl, I can feel you've enhanced your strength by a large margin. If it wasn't for the supreme enlightenment suppressing you, you probably would have broken through and reached a higher level already. You must have been granted a great opportunity while you were in the Heavenly Passage and took full advantage of it. Am I right?" Henry asked, leveling them both with a firm look.

"Now that you've obtained such a great opportunity, it would be better for you to give the Massacring Antenna to us. You can't be too greedy and have everything, can you? If you do as we demand, we promise you'll get out of here safely.

But should you choose to refuse us, I'm afraid..."

He let the unspoken threat linger between them. They all knew what he had meant. If Ricky didn't corporate, Henry and his friends would make it their business not to let him go.

"You sound very confident, Henry," Ricky replied, a smile on his face as he let the threat slide off him like raindrops. "But I think you know me well. I'm the kind who doesn't give up. So, I guess we're fighting for the Massacring Antenna. Whoever comes out as stronger can have it."

Boom! Starburst glowed from Yori's hands as he locked his glare stubbornly upon Ricky's face, standing behind Henry. The shining Star Enlightenment dazzled everyone, blinding them with the sight. When they opened their eyes again, they saw Yori in a fighting stance, preparing to launch an attack at Ricky in a moment's notice.

A hand shot out to stop him in his tracks.

Henry kept his eyes trained on Ricky, even as his fingers curled around his companion's shoulder to keep him in place. "Ricky, I think you know me well too. Fighting against you is the last thing that I want to do.

So, before our battle starts, I'd like to ask you something. Ricky, Pearl, are either of you going to utilize the inheritance from the Massacring Holy Ant tribe by practicing their cultivation methods? Or are you going to insist on practicing your methods and only take advantage of it as a recourse to strengthen your power?"

"We will, of course, insist on our ways. We shed blood and sweat to get everything so we can improve our strengths. Nothing and no one can change our attitudes regarding our futures," Ricky replied decisively, smug determination on his face.

"But, why do you ask me such a strange question? I don't get it."

A small smile tugged at Henry's lips when he heard that. "How about this? I'd like to share a story with you. Maybe you will understand everything after you hear my story."

"No, Henry! This is our secret! It should stay among the three of us! No other party is supposed to know it!" both Yori and Thiago protested, their voices loud enough to drown out everyone else. Each of them took a jolting step forward, with their eyes opening wide. They were surprised to hear that Henry intended to tell Ricky the truth.

'What on earth is this story? These three seem like very close friends, ' Ricky pondered in surprise. His eyes met Pearl's and, judging by the look on her face, she thought the same thing.

They both guessed correctly. With a seemingly exceptional secret shared among them, a deep bond of friendship connected the three guys. They were comrades in their confidentiality.

'Who are they and where on earth are they from?' With his interest piqued, Ricky was eager to listen to the story Henry was going to tell him. From the determined look on Henry's face, Ricky would know everything soon.
