Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 716

It was an old man wearing white clothes. Fury could be seen from the serious look on his face. It seemed that he had tried hard but restrained himself from launching an attack to kill Ricky.

Now behind the old man stood two spiritual kings. One was Alexander, who had helped Ricky when he had been in the Casting Guild, and the other was another old man in black clothes. The old man in black clothes looked even more furious than the old man in white clothes.

It was more than obvious to ascertain that the old man in white was the chief of the Casting Guild located in the Earth Fire Land. The way he held himself said it all.

It was highly likely that the chief of the Casting Guild did not care about Mia that much. But Mia was a member of the Casting Guild—his organization after all. Mia's death at Ricky's hands brought nothing but shame to the Casting Guild. The chief could hardly bear it.

"You are challenging the Casting Guild young man," the old man in black said coldly with a serious look on his face.

"Sir, I told her clearly that I would kill her with just one strike. But she did not believe me and started the fight. There was nothing I could do but join the fight. It was self-defense," Ricky said, in explanation.

"It was obvious that she was determined to kill me. I couldn't just wait for her to strike me. I'm not a fool."

"You are now asking for trouble, young man! In the history of the Casting Guild, no one has ever been bullied like this," the old man in black roared with rage. Ricky's explanation irritated him even more.

Then, he channeled his power and launched his energy, ready to hurl a strike against Ricky at any moment.

"My friend from the Casting Guild, please, I urge you to stop it. May I have a word with you? We are now in a competition so please don't interrupt the competition. No matter what happened between you, you can talk about it or fight personally amongst yourselves after the competition is over instead of doing it here right now," Connor, the leader of the Celestial Army, said to interrupt both of them at that point in time.

His voice was flat yet quite definitive.

The face of the old man in black grew darker when he heard those words. He continued, "Is it righteous to kill somebody here?"

"Killing someone without a righteous reason is not right. That is true. You are right. But this is a competition and I don't remember any rule existing that says that killing is not permitted," Connor replied, trying to calm the old man in black.

'I was right! The Celestial Army values strength and ability the most. Probably most people did not notice how powerful I was just now. However, he is the leader of the Celestial Army! He must have noticed it! I am sure of it!' Ricky reflected when he heard Connor seemingly support him.

The old man in black realized that he was unable to keep finding fault with Ricky now that the leader of the Celestial Army supported him. So then he asked in a calm tone, "Tell me then, will you protect him if he becomes a member of the Celestial Army?"

"If he really becomes a member of the Celestial Army, I will, of course protect him. But if someone from your Casting Guild also becomes a member of the Celestial Army, I will no longer interfere with the affair," Connor said confidently.

"I see. Thank you for the explanation, sir," the old man in black said as he slightly bowed.

Afterwards, the old man in black and the chief of the Casting Guild withdrew their auras. On the other hand, Alexander took a scrupulous look at Ricky. Somehow, he felt this young man was quite familiar. But when he probed his memories, he did not find anyone matching the young man's face.

"Young man! May I know your name?" Connor asked Ricky. By then, he had already considered Ricky to be a member of his force.

"My name is Yori, sir," Ricky replied cautiously.

He could not, of course, say his real name, neither could he use the name of Russell. So he picked a random name from the men he knew. Besides, Yori was not present anyway.

"Yori, I see, I got it," Connor said as he nodded his head a few times as if the name meant something to him.

Afterwards, he declared that the competition was ongoing.

Before long, the top six powerful spiritual kings were approved through the competition. They were Ricky, Errol, the chief of the Casting Guild, the deputy chief of the Imperial Palace of Wildness, and two deputy Shadow Kings of the Endless Shadow. That was all.
