Chapter 283 Retreat Due To Power and Profit
Chapter 283 Retreat Due To Power and Profit
Swish, swish!
With the spiritual energy surging out, seven demi-immortal warriors quickly surrounded Ricky and Soar.
"Brother, it seems that we have to do something now. If we don't, they will probably continue to bully
us," Soar said using his internal power at the sight of their enemies surrounding them.
Meanwhile, the force of roaring flame that had just faded from him surged up yet again. The seven
demi-immortal warriors were nothing in his eyes.
Ricky stopped him with a quick glance.
"Seven honorable chiefs, could you please just listen to me before we start fighting?" Ricky asked in a
cold voice as he looked at the seven demi-immortals who were preparing to attack him from up in the
sky.
"Under the circumstances we will listen, so what else do you still have to say?" a beautiful woman in full
palace gown asked Ricky with false geniality.
The demi-immortals didn't attack immediately because none of them wanted to be the first one to
initiate the fight. After all, the powerful attack Soar had just released really impressed and shocked the
demi-immortals.
"Chiefs, there is no denying that you can unite with each other to destroy my Manor Gang, but one
thing you have to understand is that, after the collapse of the Manor Gang, at least two of you will die
and be taken down with us!" Ricky said instantly when he saw that the seven demi-immortals didn't
take action and had paused to listen to him.
"I could possibly kill even more than two of you!"
A hint of fear could been seen in the eyes of the seven demi-immortals after they heard Ricky's words.
They were all afraid of death.
They had no doubt about what Ricky said. If Ricky fought desperately regardless of his life, there would
definitely be more than one of them who would die then and there. None of them wanted to take a
chance at being the one who would die.
"It seems that things are starting to get interesting!" warriors around the battlefield commented at the
sight.
"Maybe. We are in a world where martial arts are important and the strong dominate the weak. For
those powerful warriors, the higher their realms are, the more they fear death. They have worked too
hard and they will lose too much if they die."
"Yes, this may be the turning point of this battle. I suppose this battle might be over because of that
simple fact."
...
"Are you threatening us?" one of the chiefs asked coldly.
"I am not threatening you. I am just considering things as they stand. I don't want to die either. If you
force me, things will get beyond the control of anyone here!" Ricky replied with a smile.
"What's more, if you don't fight me today, I, Russell, will promise to share the resources of the Arhat
Palace with you all!"
"We will seize the resources of the Arhat Palace by ourselves!" one of the men said with a sneer.
"All right. Just listen to me. I think you all understand where and how the resources of the Arhat Palace
are hidden because all of you are supposed to hide your resources in the same way as they did," Ricky
responded patiently.
"I discovered the place where the resources were hidden from Nathan though. What's more than that, I
have already recovered them."
"What did you say?" Those seven demi-immortals were all astonished by Ricky's words.
However, after thinking about it for a few seconds, they decided to believe what Ricky said. They all
knew what kind of person Nathan was. With a slight penalty, even the secrets of his ancestors could be
learned by them, let alone the place where the resources of the Arhat Palace were hidden.
Consequently, they chose to believe Ricky.
The Arhat Palace was a force at the same level as them, so they were clear about how many
resources it might own. Even if the resources were equally divided into eight, they could each still get a
huge amount. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
There was no reason for them to reject Ricky's offer.
They also knew that if they killed Ricky, there was a big chance that they might never get the resources
they wanted.
They even thought of what Ricky had just said. If they destroyed the Manor Gang, some of them would
definitely end up dead in their skirmish with the Manor Gang.
Thinking about Ricky's power and the profit he promised them, their precarious alliance seemed to
collapse in on itself. They almost forgot how determined they had been to fight the Manor Gang.
"I have no reason to cheat you on something like this," Ricky continued. "If we make peace with each
other today, the Manor Gang will send your share of the resources to each of you by tomorrow at noon.
If I break my promise, you can come and attack the Manor Gang then. It won't be too late for you to
take care of us if we wronged you."
The seven demi-immortals found Ricky's words to be reasonable.
Moreover, they looked at each other, apparently communicating with each other in secret.
Ricky now felt relieved. He knew that everything was going to be all right at that point.
As for the resources of the Arhat Palace, he didn't have them with him currently. He did know the
resources' storage location. He had learned it from Nathan before killing him. With the help of the
Chaotic Fire Zone, it would only take him a few seconds to go to the place where everything was
hidden.
Sure enough, he was reluctant to share his cultivation resources with those seven Forces, but he had
to endure because he wanted to leave Soar as a powerful backup. Soar would be a backup to the
moment when the opportunity of becoming an innate spiritual king appeared.
From the beginning to the end, that moment was the real purpose that he had come to the Chaotic
Region.
"Seven chiefs, even if the profit I promised is not attractive enough, you should also all consider your
own future," Ricky said again. "I know you are all busy with your cultivation nowadays. You must be
getting prepared for the coming opportunity for you to become innate spirits.
There is still the possibility for any of you to die here today, so just consider your chances of getting
hurt. If any of you get hurt today, it may become your fatal weakness when you fight for the same
opportunity in the future.
To sum it up, considering all these aspects, I sincerely hope we can make peace with each other
today."
The seven demi-immortals fell into silence after hearing Ricky's words.
"Surely, it is undeniable that my main purpose of saying those is to save the lives of the warriors in the
Manor Gang. What I said just now is still really true for all of you though.
If we fight today, we will all suffer some losses. If we put it to a stop now, it will be a win-win situation.
It's not something difficult if we want to compete with each other. When the opportunity of becoming an
innate spiritual king comes, we will inevitably have to fight each other. I think it would be a wiser choice
for you to first concentrate with the opportunity I'm giving you."
...
"Ha-ha. I will never accept being taught a lesson by a young man like you. All right! I will not step in this
matter today. Obviously, you are simply more powerful as an ally," one of the chiefs said after a long
silence as he began laughing loudly.
"But you should still remember that I need to see my share of the resources tomorrow."
"Thank you so much! Of course, I will send it to you tomorrow," Ricky replied with a smile.
He was not very surprised at the compromise because he had expected it from the very beginning of
their appearance.
He had never believed that the seven Forces would truly unite and help each other in the Chaotic
Region that was full of such intrigues. Under the influence of power and profit, their alliance was easily
disintegrated.
"All right. It's time for me to leave!"
With the retreat of this chief, the other six chiefs also left successively. A possible fierce battle was
resolved by Ricky's words.
