Chapter 1279 Claire's Real Identity

After he took a glimpse at Ricky and Claire for a few quick seconds, Michael's lips began to curl upward into a malicious smile.

At that moment, Michael believed that he could defeat the duo without breaking a sweat, for they were far too weak to be his opponents.

"Ha-ha! I can't believe that Peter can be such a fool! He even gave up the opportunity of acquiring the inheritance because of you! By the looks of it, you enjoy a very high position in the Mu Clan," Michael said as he looked at Claire scornfully. At the same time, the cruel smile slowly disappeared from his lips.

Not long after, he glanced at Ricky from his peripheral view disdainfully.

"However, he didn't expect that I would be here," Michael continued.

When he first met Claire, Ricky was able to sense that she had the same aura as Edie by using his zone. Regardless if Edie and Claire were the pigeon pair, it was still impossible for them to have the same aura.

Therefore, Ricky thought that they were the same person.

However, he still could not wrap his head around the fact why a person would suddenly change from a man to a woman.

While he stared at Claire thoughtfully, she began to turn to him for help.

"Hey, Ricky! What are you waiting for? Take action now," Claire urged him through telepathy.
