Chapter 396 Ricky’s Fury (1/2)

Snap! Snap! The sound of knuckles cracking resounded in the area.

The moment Seth finished speaking, the crisp sound came abruptly, growing even more ferocious when he humiliated Grace with the word, 'ugly.' Needless to say, the sound was from Ricky's clenching hands—he was clearly in great fury, now.

Who was Grace? What was she to Ricky? For him, she was to be most respected person, apart from being one of the most important people in his heart—he loved and cherished her life and reputation above his own.

Seth's deliberate, harsh words had offended Ricky, almost to the point of stepping in. At that point, he would never forgive Seth's behavior.

However, Grace seemed to show no reaction whatsoever to the word, 'ugly.'

After all, she had already heard too much of the same. To stop herself from lashing out, she could only pretend to be indifferent to such insults. As time passed, she turned immune to it on the surface. But no woman in the world didn't care about their appearance. Even Grace couldn't deny that the words were hurtful deep down, and too harsh for any woman.

At that moment, she and all those on-site noticed Ricky's obvious change.

Well aware of why Ricky was enraged, she was touched—she knew he wanted to protect her.

But she wasn't yet fully aware that Ricky's reaction was not only due to his respect for her as a master of martial arts.

”Haha! You've fallen in love with this ugly woman, haven't you?” As Seth teased him, he burst out laughing in delight and the four warriors from the Wang Clan followed suit.

Felicia, however, was feeling a little uncomfortable. With her instinct as a woman, she could tell that Seth had hit the nail on the head—even if Grace wasn't an attractive woman, Ricky seemed to have had some special feelings for her.

The truth was hard to believe. It wasn't that Ricky wasn't allowed to fall in love with Grace—it just came as a surprise to find that he would fall in love with someone who wasn't considered 'beautiful, ' especially in the world of warriors where the strong preyed on the weak.

Although Grace had attractive features, the red birthmark on her face made people regard her as hideous.
