"It seems like I've won this battle. Marvel, your Black Nether Tripod still needs to be improved further," Ricky said with a smile, at the same time, withdrawing his power.
There was no smile on Marvel's face anymore. In fact, she was now fuming silently, as she eyed him with contempt and a little curiosity.
"Marvel, step back. We have lost this battle," said Kirk. His face looked sullen and unsure, as Ricky's strength was beyond their expectations. He had a bad feeling about this.
Meanwhile, Marvel looked incredibly unwilling, but she had no choice but to back down since Kirk had ordered her to do so already.
"Fortunately, I have won this round. Next, it's your turn to compete," Ricky said to Winifred using his internal power, as he landed on the ground not far away from her.
"Your victory is just as we have expected. It all depends on me now, but don't worry. I won't let you guys down!" Winifred confidently replied before stepping forward.
Then came the battle between Winifred and the last woman. It was not until then that Ricky realized Winifred was actually more powerful than Fitch. It seemed like she was not as simple as he had initially thought.
Although the fighting was a little fierce, Winifred still won the battle.
In this way, Ricky and his companions won two out of the three matches, which meant that they had won the right to the visible swamps.
Kirk and his companions were all scowling now, looking even more sullen than Flint had been earlier.
"Kirk, I hope you will keep your promise. We have won two rounds out of three. This visible swamp belongs to us," Edie said with a triumphant smile.
"As members of the Three-legged Nether Crow tribe, our promise naturally counts, but the battle just now only decides that we will not intervene in the visible swamp here," Kirk replied with a sneer, which elicited a puzzled look from Edie and his companions.
It seemed like Kirk was implying something, but they were not sure what he really meant.
Edie scowled at Kirk sternly, believing that he was playing a trick on them.
"What are you saying, Kirk?" he asked coldly.
"It's very simple. From now on, I'll personally try to capture this visible swamp, not for my friends, but for others." A devilish smirk flashed on Kirk's face.
"Humph, if you don't want to give up, you can tell us directly. There is no need to make such an excuse," Edie sneer
me an answer."
Edie could not help but remark disdainfully, "Humph! I didn't expect you to hide under someone else's skirt."
He had initially admired and respected Kirk because of his strength, but now he could feel nothing for him but disdain.
"Ha-ha! Don't put it that way. Every creature born in this world has a clear price. You don't know your price yet, but I know you will sell your loyalty given the right opportunity. You simply haven't found the right buyer yet." Kirk laughed.
"Because of Lundy's talent, courage, and luck, he is bound to become one of the most powerful men in the world. That is why I gave him my loyalty. And I am sure that I did the right thing."
"Ha-ha, what a bunch of rubbish! You are full of hot air, aren't you?" Ricky chided him. "You use such sweet words, pity that they are wasted on you!"
"What did you say?" Kirk said coldly on hearing Ricky's words.
"Don't you understand? Let me translate it for you," Ricky sneered. "What I meant to say was, no matter what bullshit Lundy says, he will not frighten me. And my loyalty and dignity are priceless. He can't afford it.
If you understand my words, you should leave now. Otherwise, I will end your worthless life."
"You are looking for death!" Kirk roared coldly. Flames of rage blazed in his eyes, and his hands were already preparing to launch attacks.
At this time, Flint, who was standing a few feet from them, was the only one who looked excited. He was overjoyed that Ricky was going against Kirk and Lundy.
'You're asking for death! You'll regret it!' Flint thought to himself coldly.
