The legendary warrior

"What did you just say? Who do you think I am exactly?" Ricky asked as he eyed Audrey with suspicion.

"You possess many mutant powers, which isn't very common in this time and place. However, I recently heard about a genius called Ricky Nan, who became famous for his strength, and he has several mutants like you. It's not hard to see the connection, right?" Audrey explained with a sly, knowing look in her eyes.

When he heard her words, Ricky's eyes immediately lost their shine. It was evident that she had figured out his identity.

'How did she make such a connection? I made sure to disguise myself well except for my white hair. But I bet there are a lot of warriors out there with white hair, ' he wondered in utter confusion.

"It looks like we underestimated the Sense Mutant's power. Unexpectedly, it is good enough to detect your real identity," the Dragon Intent Grass grudgingly admitted.

'I guess this is the real power of her mutant. Without it, she would not have seen through my tricks, ' Ricky thought.

"Well, I guess there is no use hiding it. I am, indeed, Ricky Nan!" he finally admitted, knowing that denying it would not help much.

Of course, Audrey didn't look surprised at all. In fact, she looked like her birthday had come early, as she was looking at him triumphantly. "I knew it! That means you are the one who got Paul's inheritance," she loudly declared as she gazed at Ricky with delight.

"How long have you known about this?" Ricky curiously asked, a little impressed.

"From the moment I saw you, my Sense Mutant perceived that you have several mutant powers. That's how I became certain that you are indeed Ricky. But you know what? I already had known you before you reached the Middle Land,"

admitted Audrey, but her vague statement confused Ricky instead.

"What do you mean? Have we met before?" he asked, looking and sounding utterly perplexed.

"Well... You have traveled to our ancestral land before, haven't you?" she asked matter-of-factly as she stared right into his eyes.

"How did you know that? Were you there a year ago as well?" Ricky asked in surprise, not bothering to deny anything.
