The legendary warrior novel Chapter 90

"So, any idea about where you're heading for?" Agnes inquired about his future plans.

"Well, to be frank, no. I'm not sure yet. But I know I don't belong here. Anyway, I should get out of here," Ricky shook his head and replied. He stared out into the distance, while thinking about the endless possibilities of places he could go. He did not have a specific destination yet.

"Yeah, I know you don't belong here and won't stay here. The world is out there, waiting for you. Take care!" Agnes said, knowing how capable this young man was going to be.

"You, too," Ricky replied with a smile.

They talked for a while, and then Ricky returned to his quarter. He planned to leave after nightfall. Only Agnes and the grandmaster of the Purity Faction knew about his departure. He knew it would be foolish to believe that everyone in the Purify Faction liked him enough to be loyal to him. A small bribe like money could very easily buy them. Exposing his plans would be the stupidest thing.

At midnight, Ricky left the house of the Shui Clan following the secret path Agnes had instructed him to.

He walked into the forest, as Agnes had explained that if he walked through it to leave, he would not easily be spotted and would be able to leave in safety.

However, minutes into the forest, Ricky sensed something unusual. He felt that he was followed.

He stopped, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath before he shouted boldly, "Who's there?" He confirmed his suspicions after he activated his internal strength to sense his stalker's breathing.

A figure appeared from behind him and walked up to him. Ricky had anticipated that someone could tail after him. But he never expected that it was Dora - the genius from the Sage Faction! That was totally shocking for him.

"Dora? It's you! How did you know that I would be here?" Ricky was alarmed immediately at the sight of her. In the important fight, he had defeated Lyndon, shaming Dora by association. He was certain that she was coming after him for revenge.

"Yes, it's me! How did I know? Ha-ha. Is it really a question? Don't you think it's a ridiculously funny question? You are still standing on the grounds of the Shui Clan." Dora replied arrogantly with a giggle. Ricky didn't sense any malice from her.

"Oh, yes. I see what you mean. This is the territory of the Shui Clan, and of course, you know everything that happens here." Ricky understood immediately.

"But, why are you following me? Do you mean to take your revenge on me?" asked Ricky, preparing himself.

"Revenge? That's absurd. I won't feel ashamed to lose to a warrior who is obviously much stronger. I'm not that narrow-minded," Dora replied. "To be honest, I am just curious why you are so strong, as a disciple of the Snow Sect."

"Oh? You are curious about me? Well, I suppose it must be because I defeated Lyndon," Ricky replied with a hint of a smirk.

"Yes, you are right. I'm curious!" Dora said, nodding.

"You know what? Where I come from, there's a saying which goes that once a woman feels curious about a man, it means that she has started to like him," Ricky said pointedly. Then he emphasized, "And once she falls in love with him, it is likely that she will end up miserable."

Having someone, especially a woman, tail after him was the last thing Ricky wanted. So he made up this so-called saying, trying to get rid of her. He hoped that she would take the initiative to leave.

"Is it true? Well, I'm starting to grow even more curious," Dora said stubbornly. Ricky's tactic had no effect on her. She was more determined to follow him.

Ricky, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. 'Am I really so attractive?' he asked himself, speechless. 'Why would she want to stay with me? What does she want? I'm just a rather ordinary guy.'

"Humph! You are talking nonsense!" he responded gruffly and turned around, ready to go on with his journey. He could just ignore her and drive her away by being mean.

But the moment he turned around, he sensed something wrong. The atmosphere had grown cold and spiteful.

"Thump! Thump!"

The next second, four figures jumped from the branches of the trees and landed in front of him. They were Alan, Jason, Lyndon, and an unknown man, who seemed to be their ally.

'It seems that Lyndon has allied with the West Vanity Valley!' Ricky thought, in shock.
