The legendary warrior

Ricky sauntered up to Doug, who hadn't recovered from the fear that Ricky's strike had brought him.

"Hey, Doug, do you remember when you said that you would consider me as your boss if I could withstand three moves from you?" He prompted Doug point-blank.

Hearing Ricky's words brought Doug back to his senses.

"This is unbelievable. I lost?!"

Doug muttered to himself in disbelief.

However, even though he found it hard to believe, he had no choice but to accept it and do as he had promised.

He struggled for a while as he weighed what he should do next, and when he made up his mind, he said to Ricky,

"Don't worry. I'm a man of my word. From now on, you will be my boss, and I will run errands..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Ricky interrupted him with a laugh.

"Ha-ha! You're too serious, man. I was just joking. I can't believe you took my words seriously," he uttered.

From the beginning, Ricky had no intention of taking Doug in as his follower. He just used Doug to prevent the other disciples from picking on him. He had gotten what he wanted, so it was about time to let Doug go as well.

After all, he had just joined the wood branch.

Meanwhile, the warriors present fell silent when they heard Ricky's words.

The last thing they had expected was for Ricky to act so graciously, as they had all thought that he would give Doug a hard time given the situation.

Some of them thought to themselves,

'Ricky is not only talented and strong, but he is also gracious and broad-minded! Maybe he and Ashley will be a good match with each other.'

Some of them even began to discuss among themselves. "This guy is awesome. I'm looking forward to what else he will achieve after this!

Perhaps, he can become the holy son in the near future."

"Now, we know that Ricky definitely deserves our respect!"

In the martial world, seniority did not dictate superiority or respect. Everything depended on the individual's strength, regardless of that person's age, background, or personality.

Since Ricky was more powerful than them, he demanded their respect.

A person's strength was the only thing that mattered.
