"I think so." Ricky nodded without any further explanation. After all, the Massacring Holy Ant tribe and Jacob had vanished completely. He didn't need to explain it to them, as there was nothing to be done anymore.
"By the way, Kenney, what's the name of that force? Let me check if I know anything about it," Stuart asked curiously.
"Have you heard about the Blood Evil Sect, Stuart?" Ricky asked in return.
After all, he promised Jacob he would take care of his sect, so he should be cautious.
"Sorry, I don't recognize the name. Maybe it's because I don't care about other sects," Stuart said with a little embarrassment.
"However, once we return to the Middle Land, I will make sure to pay attention to the Blood Evil Sect."
"That sounds lovely. Thank you very much, Stuart," Ricky said to Stuart gratefully.
After that, Ricky and the other three left the Dragon Cave together, and everything that happened inside the cave was left to the past.
As soon as they stepped foot outside the Dragon Cave, Ricky destroyed Hyatt's soul, killing him completely. Of course, Hiram, who was standing outside the Dragon Cave, immediately sensed Hyatt's demise.
His eyes flared with anger and blood lust as if he was desperate to shed blood for his son.
At the same time, he saw Ricky and the other three, as they walked out of the cave. And although they weren't talking or acting friendly, they didn't look like they were fighting either.
He immediately approached Ricky and asked, "Kenney, what happened in the cave? What's wrong with Hyatt and Aaron?"
"Nothing serious. I just killed them," Ricky said lightly.
"What?!" Hiram yelled out of hatred.
"I already told you what happened. What else do you want me to say?" Ricky responded. The expression on his face remained unchanged, eyebrows raised in amusement as if he hadn't just announced Aaron's and Hyatt's death. Courtesy was useless now that he had gotten what he came for after all.
"You are looking for death!" Hiram's heart was full of grief and rage for the death of Hyatt and Aaron, but the straw that broke the camel's back was Ricky's cold attitude towards their deaths. He felt everything disappear from his mind except for one objective—Ricky's death.
He went berserk, as his mighty power burst out in a frenzy, and since he was an upper-grade demi-spiritual emperor, his power was nearly as potent as the true ruling power. The sea boiled and exploded, as it sent dozens of water columns up into the sky.
Ricky felt Hiram's attack as an immense pressure that crumbled his very being, as it tried to envelop and absorb his essence.
At this time, Spike intervened and resisted Hiram's attack to defend Ricky. It must have been Bruce and his companions who asked Spike to help, and since he was the only one whose power was anywhere near Hiram's level, he was able to block the attack.
Hiram's eyes turned murderous when he thought that Ricky was conspiring with the others. He had not expected Spike to help Ricky, but he also noticed that Ricky had walked out of the cave together with others, and they had seemed to be getting along.
As he thought over these things, he became convinced that Ricky must have chosen to side with the Super Palace.
"Are you going to stop me?" Hiram hissed.
"Kenney has become a guest of the Super Palace, and as such, I will not allow you to hurt him. Please go on your way," Spike said indifferently.
"If you don't get out of my way, all the people in this sea will know what happened in the Dragon Cave by tomorrow, and I will let them know that the Super Palace has gotten the inheritance of the Flood Dragons!" Hiram threatened Spike harshly since he had noticed that Ricky and Spike had already become allies.
