Chapter 509 Becoming An Enlisted Member Of The Oriental College (1/2)

”Sir, to be completely honest with you, I just couldn't help it. I knew I should not, and in fact I dared not kill her. But at least I have to take all of the enlightening marks from her and force her to quit the selection. Trust me, I did all I could to pull my punches,” Ricky shrugged and replied indifferently.

”You might have managed to send her out for now, but I bet the spiritual emperors from the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce will come knocking at my door soon. By then, I don't think I can refuse their request of enrolling Pearl into the Oriental College, you know. As they say, the one who is strong is also the one who is privileged,” the Oriental Emperor said.

”So, in the end, Pearl will still have a place in the college, while you might have to deal with the retaliation of the demi-spiritual emperors of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce. You can be sure that they will be planning their revenge as you have not only enraged them, but also made a fool of them.”

”Actually, I knew the consequences the moment I defeated her, but I couldn't allow myself to let her go without teaching her a lesson. I simply had to send her out or else it would have been a very hard pill to swallow for me. On the contrary, I feel so refreshed and relieved even though I know that I have caused big trouble for myself by taking this step. But trust me, I will make the same decision if allowed to do it all over,” Ricky declared with a smirk playing on his face.

”You are as stubborn as a donkey, aren't you, bloke?” the Oriental Emperor couldn't help his smile as he heard Ricky's smug words.

To be completely honest, he quite appreciated this young man's frankness and resolve even though it almost bordered on arrogance.

While it was true that Ricky had offended Pearl and the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce, he had also shown his acumen to accurately analyse and judge the current situation. Even though he had been a little smug and proud of his actions, he had also exhibited his self control as true to his words, he didn't actually kill Pearl in the end. At the same time, he chose to deprive Pearl of her capability to participate in the selection, and this clearly showed that he wasn't afraid of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce at all. He spared her life only because he felt it was the right thing to do. It was clear that he was both unyielding and clearheaded, which combined with bravery were necessary qualities to have if one wished to rise above the masses.

...

After all that had happened and all the upheaval it had caused, the Oriental College's selection drew to an end.

Ricky's actions during the selection spread like fire. His name could be heard almost everywhere on the land and all the warriors were talking about him. While the entire Oriental Realm was already furious at his actions, all this attention that he was getting was really making their blood boil. Now in people's eyes, Ricky was more than a peerless genius. He was also an ace genius who had the courage to challenge the strong and the authorities.

What shocked everyone the most was that Ricky dared to kick Pearl—the spiritual emperor of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce—out of the selection. This was truly incredible.

”I think it's too presumptuous of him to do so. He might be talented and a brave one, a so-called ace genius, but he has gone too far this time!” commented some of the warriors.
