The legendary warrior

'So this guy is the lord of the Misty South Palace—the most powerful warrior in the Misty South!' Ricky thought to himself excitedly once he recovered from his surprise.

'Why would such a great warrior come to my aid?' he wondered.

At this point, Ricky finally understood where the man's confidence was coming from and why he defied those saints and admonished them like little children. The reason was simple: he was the best warrior in the Misty South.

This fact also reassured Ricky because someone as accomplished as this guy would certainly not look at Paul's inheritance with greed. Just as Otis told Ricky earlier, he would have been a spiritual potentate if it weren't for the heavenly law's restriction.

He had already owned the strength to become a spiritual potentate, so why would he even need another spiritual potentate's inheritance?

Warriors at his level were always arrogant, but they had the strength to back their attitude up.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. I won't forget this," Ricky earnestly thanked Otis again.

"I was able to save you because those saints are not real masters. It was fortunate that the really powerful ones didn't come here, or you would have been in grave danger. But don't let your guard down! Even though those genuine masters didn't appear, it didn't mean that they are not after Paul's inheritance.

Perhaps, they didn't dare to show up because they are scared of the Misty South Palace and me. However, that fear won't stop them from trying to steal Paul's inheritance from you in secret, which means that you are still in danger,"

Otis warned him sternly.

"I know, but at least I got out of the Grey Wind Land in one piece. Besides, you also bought me some time to plan what I need to do," retorted Ricky with a resigned sigh. "Sir, please tell me how I can get rid of them!" he added almost desperately.

If he wanted to deal with those saints, Ricky knew that he only had two choices. He could hand Paul's inheritance over to them, or he could ask for Otis's help.

The fact that Otis already saved his life earlier meant that there was a good chance he would help him again and save him from those pesky saints.

Ricky assumed that Otis helped him escape from those saints earlier because of his talent, and that was why Otis had asked him if he had once been an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. Otis probably wanted to confirm that he had once been an incredible demi-spiritual emperor.

"I've already lent you a hand, and I will continue to do so since I don't want Paul's inheritance to fall into the hands of those mediocre guys. They can only think of themselves, so I wouldn't be surprised if it would take the devil race's invasion to make them realize how short-sighted and stupid they are. Perhaps, they have to see their own men slaughtered before they could think of someone other than themselves!" Otis ranted agitatedly.
