Just then, a figure walked out from the gate of the Hong Clan to the arena. Every head turned to the figure, and the ongoing battle was momentarily forgotten.
What they could see at that moment was an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man. None of them knew that it was Ricky, who was using the middle realm of the Transforming Realm.
All people were naturally confused because the disciples of the Hong Clan had never seen Ricky before. In this situation, they weren't sure whether Ricky was a disciple of their clan or not.
None of them could identify who he was, and their minds were working slowly due to the pressure and humiliation that Curran had brought them.
In contrast, the powerful demi-spiritual emperors of the Hong Clan were sensible, and they asked each other through the telepathic link, "How can this person enter? Why didn't the guards stop him?"
"Let's see what he's going to do first!" another demi-spiritual emperor answered.
All eyes were fixed on Ricky, as he jumped up and landed beside Amelia on the platform.
On the other hand, Amelia was just as confused as the rest of them, but something about Ricky's eyes and the scent he gave off seemed familiar to her. And the way the middle-aged man looked at her was somewhat comforting as well.
She didn't think that he was repulsive at all, so, like the others, she waited for him to say his piece.
"Amelia, you've grown into a beautiful woman in just a few years. I'm so happy to see you!" Ricky teased through the telepathic link.
And when Amelia heard this, she immediately knew who the man was.
"Ricky, it's you! Why are you here?" she cried out, although her appearance belied her words. Her facial expression stayed the same, and there wasn't a single trace of surprise on her face.
Of course, Amelia would never forget Ricky. After all, they had made a promise before.
At that time, her intuition had been so sure that Ricky wasn't a simple man, and he was totally different from what he appeared to be. So, Amelia let Ricky make the promise.
She didn't expect too much from that promise, but she couldn't forget it because it was the first time she let a man make a promise to her. She remembered it clearly for she had a huge crush on Ricky at that time.
After all, a girl would always remember clearly the first man whom she had a crush on.
"I came to do as I promised," Ricky said as he smiled warmly at Amelia.
"But what happened to your face?" Amelia said incredulously. She stared at Ricky's face, which had changed so much that she couldn't even recognize him anymore. If it wasn't for his eyes and scent that felt so familiar, she wouldn't entertain him at all.
"Well, I had to change my appearance for a personal reason. We'll talk about that later. Let me beat the lackey first," Ricky said confidently.
"Ricky, Curran is not easy to deal with..."
Amelia spoke in a wavering voice, worry evident on her face, but Ricky interrupted her and said, "Don't worry. I don't engage in fights that I know I'm doomed to lose."
"Amelia, are all your disciples so impolite?" At this time, Curran interrupted their private conversation abruptly. He seemed uninterested with Ricky and didn't even glance his way because, in his mind, the dragon shouldn't care about the snake that loitered around.
"You henchman! How dare you speak to Amelia that way! I'll rip your mouth for that later," said Ricky coolly.
"Who the hell is that guy? He seems to know Amelia, but he is so arrogant!" The disciples from the Hong Clan seemed to have forgotten the humiliation that Curran had brought to them, as they were starting to buzz with curiosity once again.
