The legendary warrior

"Ricky is not the right person to be the holy son of the wood branch. I guess he is the only one who dared to challenge the genius of the Desolate Sorcery tribe who is stronger than him, and they ended up in a draw," Lloyd added after some consideration.

After they drew for countless times,

the fight between Ricky and Mordechai had come to an end.

Mordechai won, and he became the holy son of the wood branch.

However, the crowd kept talking about Ricky and wondered why he conceded.

Once the fight was over, Ricky promptly announced that his so-called engagement to Ashley was nothing but a joke. He also said that he was not good enough for her because he failed to become the holy son.

His act left all the disciples bewildered.

"What is on this brat's mind?" Lloyd murmured to himself,

every bit as confused as the others.

"Ashley, you don't need to worry about us anymore. I will be out of your hair now. I've explained to everyone about us, and I didn't become the holy son. You've got what you want," Ricky said to Ashley, using the telepathic link.

With those words, he left with Tina and Amelia.

Ashley watched Ricky's receding figure. She wasn't happy at all. In fact, she was disappointed. She felt a pang in her heart watching him leave with the two women.

Ricky admitting defeat upset her. She went to great lengths to stop him from becoming the holy son, and it turned out that he didn't care about that position at all. She thought that Ricky must laugh at her inwardly.

She felt disappointed because Ricky had even felt the need to explain their fake engagement to the public. It made her feel that she wasn't good enough for him, and she wasn't attractive enough for Ricky to really fall for.

"Mordechai, why would he admit defeat?" Ashley asked Mordechai.

"Well, that is between me and Ricky. We have promised to keep it to ourselves, so I can't tell you about that," Mordechai replied with a troubled look on his face.

Hearing this, Ashley decided not to push him
