The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1285

"So, this place is under your control, huh?" Ricky remarked with an unimpressed expression. "If that's the case, you better let me out now. It is upsetting that the king's inheritance is right before my eyes, but I can't get my hands on it. So I'd rather leave here."

Judging from the scowl on his lips, he was definitely not in a good mood.

He initially thought that he would get the king's inheritance once he defeated Michael, and in that way, he could finally cultivate the power of illusion. And since he had the Gale Zone, it would be easy as pie for him to get more potent illusion power.

But since Claire was the queen in her previous life, everything in this place could be considered hers, including the king's inheritance.

It would be impossible for Ricky to take the inheritance away from her. After all, he was no match against Claire right now.

'Damn it! I've come this far for nothing!' Ricky resentfully thought to himself.

"Come on; look at the bright side. This place helped you increased your strength, at the very least," the Dragon Intent Grass comforted him with a teasing laugh.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have asked for the Power-transforming Pill just as Michael did. That pill is much better than the Chaotic Disintegrating Pill," Ricky recounted.

Claire overheard his words and let out a quiet chuckle.

"Ricky, are you really mad?" she asked. "No, I'm not angry. I just don't want to stay here any longer,"

Ricky answered as he glanced at the king's inheritance out of the corner of his eyes.

The truth was that he didn't care about the saint's inheritance at all. However, the king's inheritance involved the illusion power, which was precisely what he needed. That was why he felt so disappointed.

"Well, if I tell you that you can have the king's inheritance, would you still be in such a hurry to leave?" Claire asked abruptly.

And her words took Ricky by surprise.

He stared at her with wide, astonished eyes as he unhappily retorted, "If that's your idea of a joke, it's not funny. I swear, I will take your words seriously. I would never refuse to accept it."

"I'm serious. The king's inheritance is yours now," Claire reiterated with an earnest expression.

"What—what are you saying? Even if you aren't interested in the king's inheritance, you can give it to some other talented disciple of your clan, such as Peter. Why are you giving it to me?" Ricky stammered, although he could tell that Claire was serious with her offer.

"Remember, I was the queen in my previous life. That's why I have some knowledge about the king. I know that he wanted his inheritance to fall into the hands of an ace genius.

And even though I am a member of the Mu Clan now, which means that I have to put our clan's interest first, I still can't let the king down.

You are more talented than Peter, and that's why I'm giving it to you. You don't have to think too much. I am giving it to you out of respect for the king's decision," Claire replied.

"I see. Well, in that case, I'll take it. After all, I have no reason to refuse such a great offer.

I don't really get why you want to give it to me, but I don't like being indebted to others. So, now, tell me what you want from me," Ricky said as he looked Claire in the eye.

"Don't dwell on my reasons too much. I am helping you because I hope you will help our clan when you are strong enough," Claire replied straightforwardly.

Honestly, she would rather give the king's inheritance to Peter even though she admired Ricky's talent. She was, after all, a member of the Mu Clan. However, she didn't want to let the dead king down, and that part of her warred with her pride as a Mu Clan member.

In the end, Claire respected the king's judgment too much to dismiss it for the good of her clan. Thus, Ricky owed it to the king that he could get his hands on the inheritance.

"I have to say that Claire is an honorable person," the Dragon Intent Grass commented with a trace of surprise.

"She might have some honor in her, but I can't trust anyone fully," Ricky replied seriously.

Then, he turned his attention back to Claire.

"Rest assured. I will not forget your kindness. If your clan need my help, I will try my best to assist you," Ricky promised to Claire.

"Thank you. I will keep your words in mind," Claire answered earnestly with a sweet smile.

She was delighted with Ricky's offer because she felt like it was a good deal. Perhaps, other people would think that Ricky's promise was not worth the king's inheritance, but Claire thought otherwise. That was another reason why she decided to give the inheritance to Ricky.
