Chapter 707 A Heart-to-heart Talk With Pearl (1/2)

”Ha-ha! That's my boy! I know Pearl has always wanted to kill you, but if you chose to hand her out as revenge, I surely will despise you for it,” said the Evil Emperor, who laughed out loud upon hearing Ricky's answer.

The Oriental Emperor also nodded his appreciation for Ricky. He believed that he would decide like a real man, and he was rather happy that Ricky fulfilled his expectation. After all, Pearl was from his college, and he didn't want to entrust his college to some greedy coward.

”That's settled then. Don't worry, as long as you mean to protect her, I will help you as much as I can.” A kind smile bloomed on the Oriental Emperor's face. ”But there is still one problem left—you need to persuade Pearl into approving your plan first.”

”Got it. I will try my best,” Ricky replied. He bowed slightly to the Oriental Emperor to show his gratitude before heading directly into the Devourer Zone.

His destination was unbeknownst to anyone else, of course. The Oriental Emperor and his warriors only saw him vanish. For all they knew, Ricky could have simply entered his spiritual space tool rather than the Devourer Zone.

”Just wait here for Ricky's return. I will go out and buy some time for him. Someone has to talk with the Luxurious Emperor as quickly as possible. I'm afraid he's getting impatient. Who knows what he will do once he's run out of patience,” the Oriental Emperor said to the Evil Emperor before leaving.

”How long are you going to keep me in this dirty place, Ricky? Or do I have to spend all of eternity in here?” The chill in Pearl's accusatory questions greeted Ricky as soon as he arrived.

She didn't conceal her anger at all, safe in the knowledge that Ricky wouldn't kill her no matter how annoying or harsh she was. If he had meant to take her life, he already had the chance. Imprisoning her seemed futile for that goal. What was more, she knew very well what Ricky wanted from her. She'd seen the look in his eyes on numerous other men before. He wanted her and hoped to make her his woman. That was why he was willing to spare her life.

Despite his clean-cut image, Pearl believed Ricky still craved for women like other men. To a certain degree, every man was possessive of the woman he had sex with. Since they already had intercourse, it was just natural that Ricky would want to make her his own.

”I think you already know the answer, Pearl. That's right. I want you to become mine, like so many other men would. You have seen right through me, haven't you?” Ricky answered in a mild tone. It was hard for him to be angered by her difficult demeanor when Pearl was only speaking the truth.

”Dream on, you brat!” Pearl snorted, stressing every syllable until they hurt him.

”Well, if you refuse, then I'm afraid you will have to spend the rest of your life in this place.” There was a teasing lilt in Ricky's voice and he shrugged his shoulders. He was the very picture of nonchalance.
