Chapter 983 The Confrontation

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 surren

sually dies a fast and miserable death!"

They fell silent then, no doubt already imagining Ricky's tragic death.

"I'd like to ask you a question, Carney. What do you think is a gentleman like?" Ricky asked in a disdainful tone since he could sense the sarcasm in Carney's words.

"A gentleman is someone strong. Only those who are strong can be qualified to possess everything," Carney sneered, looking down at Ricky.

"If you don't have the strength, you should lie on your stomach like a worm. Don't even try to think about flying like a dragon. Otherwise, the higher you fly, the more painful it is when you hit the ground."

"Ha-ha, you are right, Carney. A gentleman is a strong man," Ricky said with a smile.

"I think I am a strong man, so I can be a gentleman. Then why can't I have Amelia as my wife?"

Ricky asked provocatively, getting rid of all polite pretenses.

He was determined to test how powerful Carney was in battle, so he was intentionally saying all the things that could make him angry.

"How arrogant!" All the warriors around them grew annoyed at Ricky, as they found him too overbearing to have said all those things.

"Yes! Kenney is too arrogant. He's just an ordinary warrior, so how dare he speak to Carney in this way?!"

Carney's eyes were burning with rage at Ricky's provocation, and malicious spirit emerged from his body.

"You are not the one who has the final say on your strength. You need to prove it!" Carney said to Ricky coldly, as he walked a few steps forward. In the void, an incomplete flame world had emerged and was now rushing toward Ricky.

"Since you want to test if I am strong, just do it! Let's fight!" Ricky said. Now that Carney was ready to attack him, there was no need for him to be polite any longer.
