Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 461 Pearl's Secret Plan

Without even letting them absorb the shock further, Ricky immediately directed to Soar and Tina to leave. He already had the skeleton in his zone, so it was pointless for them to stay any longer. "Pearl, I believe that this was an eventful exchange and we already have what we want. It's now time for us to leave. Thank you very much.”

Ricky immediately turned around, prepared to leave the premise already. If Pearl had any intentions of keeping them for sinister reasons, Ricky might have to use the power of his Chaotic Fire Zone to escape.

He had a hunch that Pearl was hiding something wicked despite her sweet and elegant facade. He sensed it through his three zones.

Pearl, on the other hand, was not a foolish woman. She might be surprised from the previous events, but she managed to immediately compose herself. "Ricky, am I that repulsive to you? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" she asked as she alluringly reached out her hand to stop Ricky from leaving.

"Oh, of course not, Pearl. What made you think like that? We are in danger now more than ever since we now hold the treasures we won from the auction. The longer we stay here, the more we risk ourselves in getting into danger. There are numerous warriors outside waiting for me. None of them harbor any good intention. I'm sure you know well about that,” Ricky explained.

"Yes, I know that. I'm aware that they have a target on your head," Pearl said, smiling. She alluringly pulled herself closer to Ricky, intending to attract him with her perfect figure and beauty.

"So, I'm going to offer you something. If it doesn't bother you, you can stay here as long as you wish. You can even live here until the selection competition of the Oriental College starts. I'm sure that no one in the Oriental Realm dares to break into this place.”

"I am grateful for your kindness, Pearl. We really appreciate it. But we have to rely on ourselves in this world, don't we? So, I'm afraid it's better for us if we leave now,” Ricky humbly responded and declined her offer.

"You don't believe me?" Pearl asked, a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Oh, no, that's not what I meant. It's just we are not that familiar,” Ricky replied. "So, please excuse us. We have to go now. If we will see each other someday in the future, it would be nice if we get to share a good meal together."

Ricky paused for a moment and then continued, "I'm sure you will not force us to stay.”

"Ha-ha, Of course, I won't. Since you insist, I will not stop you anymore. But here is the thing. The Pounding Skills you gave are too precious. You're actually doing us a favor by exchanging them with us. They are worth more than seven million gold coins, after all. I don't like owing anything. So please, allow me to give you an inferior-stage spiritual weapon at least,” Pearl suggested.

"Oh? Really? That's so generous of you. Then if possible, can I have a spear with fire attribute?” Ricky asked frankly.

He decided to accept this offer for two reasons. The first was that his Pounding Skills were very valuable that he would even take five inferior-stage spiritual weapons from her. The second reason was that if he refused her, probably Pearl would not let them go easily. He'd rather be in her good graces than have a feud at the moment.

"Elder Ong, bring me a spear with fire attribute here,” Pearl demanded as he gestured for the old man.

"Yes, Miss,” Elder Ong dutifully replied. He took a spear with fire attribute from his storage ring and passed it to Ricky.

'The Luxurious Chamber of Commerce is really rich!" Ricky thought.

Ricky gratefully accepted the spear given. He reached for it and turned to Pearl. "Thank you for your generosity, Pearl. I am indebted to your kindness."

"You are welcome. Take care and I wish you good luck.” Pearl smiled in return.

Ricky, Soar, and Tina turned around to leave.

"Vito, please walk them out of here,” Pearl ordered as she noticed the three of them preparing to leave.

"Yes, Miss." Vito nodded and turned around to walk them out.

As soon as they left, Pearl snapped her fingers and the maids also left the room.

"Miss, are the two Pounding Skills really that young man's?" Elder Ong asked with incredulity as soon as they were the only ones left in the premise.

"Yes. He wrote them down in half an hour. That indicates that he knows well about them. And I have a feeling that he has more to give." Pearl narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

"So, he must have something more valuable than those two Pounding Skills! That's why I wanted him to stay. Unfortunately, he is vigilant."

"If that's the case, why don't we just...?" Elder Ong said as he made a slicing gesture with his hand by his neck.

"We don't know where they came from. It's best if we do this carefully. If they have a spiritual emperor supporting them, we'll be in big trouble if we mess with them," Pearl commented.

"Oh, I see. That's wise of you to think of the risks.” Elder Ong rubbed his chin as he thought of other ways to find out about Ricky without doing too much damage.

"Use your connections to figure out where they are from,” Pearl demanded as she squinted her beautiful eyes. "If we can snatch more Pounding Skills from him, we can train or attract more casting masters of Spirit Level."

"I will. But I have something else in mind. Are they going to survive the Oriental City? There are many warriors eyeing him, after all," Elder Ong said.

"He looks quite confident. He must have a plan in his mind to get rid of them. He is not stupid and he surely know the dangerous situation outside,” Pearl said.

She was growing even more curious. She wondered how the three guys—a lower spiritual king and two demi-immortals—would protect themselves from the wicked warriors outside.

There were more powerful warriors waiting for Ricky, after all. They all wanted to have the items he just won.

"So, do we have to send some men to tail them?" Elder Ong asked.

"That won't be necessary. I have left a mark on the spear. I can track their whereabouts even if we don't send anyone to trail them. Let's leave him to those warriors. We can do something when the time comes,” Pearl replied. She was intricately plotting her plans to retrieve more skills from Ricky. "That's a very smart move, Miss." Elder Ong praised Pearl. He thought that the plan was a fool- proof.

Elder Ong knew Pearl well. She was gifted, wise, and beautiful. In this patriarchal society, her only drawback was being born female.

If she were a man, she would have the potential to be the number one genius in the Oriental Realm. Ricky, Soar, and Tina, on the other hand, were about to walk out of the palace.

"Please stay for a while, Master Ricky," Vito called out behind Ricky. He was running toward Ricky, panting heavily.

"Vito, you don't have to call me Master Ricky. That is too much for me. I'm merely a demi-immortal,” Ricky humbly suggested as he waited for Vito to catch up.

Ricky neither liked nor disliked Vito. He was okay with him.

"Ha-ha, strength does not define a person's status, Master Ricky! When I make friends with others, those things are just trivial for me." Vito smiled genuinely. "Personally, what matters for me is wealth and personality.”

Vito was straightforward and candid. Principles were what mattered for him when he chose his friends.

He added, "But of course, character is the most important part. I don't want my friends to be corrupt. I don't like the feeling of being betrayed.”

"Ha-ha, you are so frank, Vito. If you want to be a friend of mine, we can talk about it later. At least after I walk out of the Oriental City alive.” A small smile broke into Ricky's face.

"Ha-ha. You sound so optimistic. I'm sure you will make it." Vito smiled back.

Meanwhile, he patted Ricky on his shoulders heavily.

The moment Vito touched his body, Ricky felt that Vito just put something on his neck.

He was perplexed. But he did not show it. "Well, Vito, I'll see you later. I hope I get to see you again,” Ricky said.

"Of course. See you then," Vito said as he burst into laughter.

After that small exchange, Ricky, Soar, and Tina walked out of the palace as soon as they could.
