Chapter 315 Meeting Tina
Chapter 315 Meeting Tina
After making up his mind, Ricky started off to find Tina according to the location that Tyson had told
him. He decided to go on his own, while Tyson and Soar stayed in the valley to wait.
Though he was aware of his friend's strength, Tyson was still a bit worried about Ricky's safety. But
Ricky was determined to carry on the plan and he was not a man who would easily change his mind.
Convinced by Ricky's confidence, Tyson nodded his head and agreed to his decision. Even if Tyson
himself hadn't noticed it, it was obvious that he would always trust Ricky unconditionally. If Ricky said
he could do something, Tyson would believe in him no matter what. Whatever Ricky did, he always had
Tyson's full support.
And Ricky had never let him down. .
The members of the Dahlia Palace settled down on a deserted plain where the evil spirit was relatively
less powerful. They built cottages with thatch, bamboo poles and stones. They decided to stay here
until the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king showed itself.
However, they were not as unperturbed as before, because they had been informed that an innate
spiritual king had appeared in the strange world, who had assembled the other forces to his feet in only
a few days.
Though they heard that the innate spiritual king had warned his subordinates not to touch the Dahlia
Palace, they still couldn't make sure how much of it was true.
What was worse, in such dangerous conditions, their leaders had lent her hand to the man who the
innate spiritual king was hunting and this made them even more anxious.
The members of the Dahlia Palace were too busy worrying about the future. They didn't notice that
someone had landed on the plain without a sound. It was none other than Ricky, who had come out of
the Chaotic Fire Zone.
Ricky didn't want to disturb the girls, so he hid himself immediately. He didn't conceal all his traces.
Instead, using the forces of the three spaces, he easily controlled his power so that only demi-
immortals would be able to feel his presence.
Ricky found a quiet place to sit down and have a breather. Shortly after, Tina appeared in front of his
eyes.
"Hey, Tina! I haven't seen you in a while. You're now even prettier since I last saw you." Ricky stood up
and greeted her with a smile.
"Ricky? What are you doing here? Aren't you aware that you are in grave danger? You are wanted by
so many warriors! How dare you come here all by yourself?" Tina ignored his teasing words. Her
eyebrows furrowed in concern.
"I came here to thank you," Ricky smiled. "And I also need to take Kristen with me," he continued.
"What? Take her with you?" Tina widened her eyes in disbelief. "I don't understand. You won't find a
safer place than here in this world. You'll only put her in more danger!"
"Tina, I know you are willing to help us. But I don't want to get you into any more trouble. If I take
Kristen back with me, you'll have nothing to do with the Manor Palace, and the innate spiritual king will
surely leave you alone," Ricky explained further.
"What do you take me for? I'm your friend, Ricky. Besides, I'm not afraid of that lower spiritual king. I
can take his life anytime if you want me to!" Tina raised her voice in anger.
"Tina, listen to me. I know you are not afraid of him. I also know that you have a trump card with Doris's
help. But I'm not a daredevil, and you have to trust me that I won't put Kristen and myself at risk." Ricky
persuaded her in a calm but firm voice.
"I have every reason to take Kristen back. First, I'm confident enough with my current strength. They
can't hurt me even if they tried. I can protect my friends and myself. Second, You and Doris have to
keep your strengths under wrap. I don't want you to have too much pressure on your backs just to
protect us."
Tina was moved by his words. She cooled down a little but still couldn't help but to worry about Ricky. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"But Ricky, are you sure you can manage it?"
"You have to believe me, Tina. I never do anything uncertain." Ricky laughed breezily.
"All right then. But you have to wait for a while. When the members take their rest, I'll bring you to
Kristen," Tina said.
Deep in her heart she was a little jealous of Kristen, because she could tell that Ricky was really
concerned about her. In fact, there were many warriors courting her and many of them were the very
essence of genius. They always said that they loved her but she knew that none of them truly meant
what they said.
All they want was the support of her family. They didn't like her for who she was.
"Thanks, Tina. Oh, and before I forget, can you do me another favor?" Ricky looked deep into her eyes
and smiled.
"We had made a deal. You don't have to thank me." Tina shook her head slightly. "Another favor? Are
you talking about ensuring safety of the other members of the Manor Palace?" Tina guessed.
"Yes. Especially Trent and Bastian. I would really appreciate it if you keep them away from harm,"
Ricky whispered.
"Okay, I'll take care of them. They are safe here with me. Besides, if you take Kristen away, the innate
spiritual king won't pay attention to the Dahlia Palace any more. Because he believes that Kristen is the
only one who is important to you," Tina assured Ricky.
"Thank you, Tina. You have been very helpful to us. If you don't mind, I have a question to ask you,"
Ricky said.
"What is it?"
"Do you remember the Bronze Key which the eight Forces scrambled for in the Chaotic Mountains?
What exactly is it? What can it do and how exactly does it work?" Ricky asked out of curiosity.
He reached into the storage bag and took out the Bronze Key.
"My Goodness! So it was you who took it!" Tina's beautiful eyes widened. She stared at the Bronze Key
in astonishment. "We have suspicions that you were the one who took it. But we couldn't figure out how
you did it, so we all denied that guess."
"Yes. If the leaders of the seven Forces had joined hands to attack me and force me to hand over the
Bronze Key, I would have no choice but to surrender." Ricky laughed.
"Hah, come off it! I knew that your snake has the strength of an innate spiritual king. Even if the leaders
of the seven Forces joined hands with one another to attack you, I don't think you would lose the battle
that easily." Tina shook her head, pursing her lips.
"Hah-hah, Doris told you that, didn't she? It seems that I can't hide anything from her even if I tried."
Ricky sighed with a joking smile.
"You know what? You really impressed me. You didn't eliminate your traces but changed them instead.
So we thought it was someone else we didn't know who took the Bronze Key," Tina said.
"Actually, you were right, Tina. I wasn't the only one hiding in the shadows. There was someone else
who wanted the Bronze Key and tried to take it. But he didn't expect me to be right there waiting for
him," Ricky explained in a serious tone.
"Are you serious? I didn't know that. It isn't something I expected." Tina furrowed her eyebrows.
Then, Ricky began to tell Tina everything he knew. .
"Ricky, are you telling me that it was the Endless Shadow, the organization of murderers, who was
plotting behind the scenes?" Tina said incredulously as her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes. And the Aeolus Palace is a secret force being controlled by the Endless Shadow.
I'm certain about that," Ricky said with a nod. "That's why I'm asking you to tell me the origin and
function of the Bronze Key, so we can speculate about the true intentions of the Endless Shadow."
"I'm sorry, Ricky. I really want to help you but I'm afraid I can't. All I know is that the Bronze Key is an
essential factor in achieving the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king and it was hidden in the
body of the Skeleton Dragon in the Chaotic Mountains," Tina said, lowering her eyes.
"You know me. I was never interested in that opportunity. I joined them only because I was bored and
wanted to have some fun. I just wanted to do something with my time. I didn't think about it that much."
"Yes, I know that. It's okay; don't worry about it. But do you know who was it that spread the rumors in
the first place?" Ricky asked eagerly.
