Curran's words drew everyone's attention. They all shifted their eyes toward the direction he pointed, only to be met by a stranger. They all felt confused, as none of them had any idea who Ricky was.
Whispers immediately started buzzing around, as they asked one another who he was. They also wondered what business he had with Curran, or what exactly he did to incur Curran's wrath. After all, they could see that Curran was looking at him intensely, and Curran's eyes were full of killing intent and, curiously, fear.
Meanwhile, Carney looked at Curran sternly, a reminder of what he should be doing at that moment. Curran was acting immature and was throwing a tantrum like a child, which could only put the Chu Clan to shame. Only after he caught Curran's eyes did he turn to look at Ricky.
As soon as Curran noticed the expression in Carney's eyes, he realized that he had forgotten himself.
He was suddenly reminded that it wasn't Ricky that he hated, but it was Carney whom he truly despised, mostly because he was jealous of Carney's strength and fame.
After all, if it weren't for Carney, he would be able to obtain more cultivation resources, and if he obtained more cultivation resources, he wouldn't have been defeated by Ricky.
And that was the root of his problem at that moment: if he hadn't been defeated by Ricky, he wouldn't need to apologize to the Hong Clan.
"Are you Kenney?" Carney asked Ricky then.
As soon as he spoke, Ricky felt an invisible domineering pressure rolling toward him, and it felt like a mountain had suddenly settled above him as if to force him to his knees.
On the other hand, Abraham opened his mouth to distract Carney, when he noticed that Carney was planning to do something to Ricky. He felt that he should do something to engage Carney.
After all, their whole plan hinged on him, and Amelia seemed to trust him. Thus, Abraham resolved to support Amelia until the end, and if that meant he needed to trust Ricky more, then so be it.
He was about to say something when he was stopped by Ricky secretly. "Chief Abraham, please let me answer his question. It's a good opportunity for me to find out just how powerful he is," Ricky told him through telepathy.
"Okay, just be careful! The stronger warriors of our Hong Clan will intervene and give you a hand if necessary," Abraham replied to Ricky.
To be honest, Abraham also wanted to see how powerful Ricky was since his daughter seemed to trust him so much.
Of course, he was also hoping for the best. If Ricky failed to help the Hong Clan deal with Carney today, then their Hong Clan would have no choice but to give up their plan and completely surrender to the Spirit Sect.
"Yes, I am Kenney," Ricky answered with a faint smile as he stepped forward.
Carney looked him up and down, and he raised an eyebrow rudely as if he was dissatisfied by what he was seeing.
"Kenney? Who is that?" the surrounding warriors asked each other, as none of them had ever heard of this name.
"Judging from his age and cultivation level, he doesn't look very young. Despite his advanced age, he is just a completed spiritual king, so he should be just an ordinary warrior. How could he possibly attract the attention of Carney?"
Ricky was now disguising himself as a middle-aged man. In other people's eyes, he, as a middle-aged man, was merely a completed spiritual king. That indicated that he was not strong at all because stronger warriors would achieve more at this age.
"So it's this guy's fault that Curran left disheveled and injured a few days ago?"
"You're probably right!"
The surrounding warriors seemed to have a rough idea of what had transpired a few days ago.
"Is it true that a few days ago, you defeated my cousin and announced that you would marry Amelia?" Carney asked in a cold voice as a trace of anger finally appeared on his previously calm face.
"What?" all the warriors gasped in shock when they heard what Carney said, and they gaped at Ricky in disbelief.
If Ricky wanted to marry Amelia, it would mean that he was going to fight against Carney for a woman. They wondered what background this person had, and how he could be so confident that he even dared to challenge Carney. They looked at him with their eyes full of astonishment and admiration.
They admired his confidence and bravery, and the situation with Amelia also appealed to those who were intrigued by the romance and scandal.
In their minds, Ricky was someone who had spent more than a hundred years to reach the completed spiritual king realm, which indicated that he was weak. They believed that fighting against Carney was doomed to fail for Ricky.
