"Then why did you do it?" Agnes asked, stunned at Ricky's question.

"I'm not sure, but maybe it was because of the fiery rage inside me!" Ricky replied.

"I know what you mean!" Agnes nodded. She was all too familiar with the feeling.

"Ricky, why have you been cultivating yourself?" she asked.

"To protect myself and the people around me," Ricky replied.

"I wouldn't have," Ricky admitted.

"Some of my family's ancestors said that, though the world follows the law of the survival of the fittest, sometimes the strong must find it in their hearts to protect the weak. It is their morality," Agnes said.

"I'm not so sure of the meaning, but I'm convinced that it is right.

The competitiveness of the martial arts world tells us not to be kind, to be individualistic, but at times doing justice and rescuing even the most lowly life is easy for us, so why wouldn't we?"

"That does make sense!" Ricky said after hearing Agnes' explanation.

While he couldn't fairly understand these sentences from the ancestors of the Shui clan, it seemed that he had begun to scratch the surface of these proverbs.

Now that he had the power to uphold justice, why did he give it up? It was supposed to be human nature for him to do the right thing. However, he should control the justice and do the right thing at the right time, with wisdom, discernment, and tact.

Ricky felt suddenly enlightened as he realized these things.

"Agnes, thank you for explaining that to me!" Ricky said to Agnes.
