Chapter 720 A Cheeky Coercion (2/2)

”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

tment.

”But on second thought, I think it is also necessary that you take the Martial Arts Oath on this matter. I fear that my plan would be thwarted if you suddenly decide to take back your words...especially during critical moments.”

Pearl fixed a stern and angry look on Ricky in response. She inched closer to him, and now it was as if he had taken a few steps back to extend the distance between them that had only begun to diminish. His actions only continued to fuel Pearl's fire. Nonetheless, she did as he had asked her to, and took the Martial Arts Oath. The oath made her promise to keep her words, no matter what.

”Good!” Ricky nodded in satisfaction. ”All is settled now. You see, if you had just nodded your head at the very beginning, we could have saved ourselves from all the trouble and squabble. Our relationship might have even been strengthened.” Ricky smiled cheekily and winked at Pearl.

”I will kill you one day, you can be sure of that, you shameless asshole!” Pearl swore as she turned her back towards him, her hair whipping in the air with much sass.

”Ha-ha! I suggest that you don't keep using the word 'shameless' on me, Pearl. Who knows, one day you might fall in love with me. When that day comes, you might make a fool of yourself!” Ricky continued to tease Pearl, completely ignoring her fury. Now that she was willing to help, she could be as angry as she wished, and Ricky would not get irritated anymore.

”There is no need for that. He has reached the level of an upper spiritual king, too. He might blow our cover even if you, yourself carry out the surveillance. Don't worry, I think he's heading for the Endless Shadow to find the Shadow King. Just let him go,” Connor answered with assurance.

”What? He can't be serious. Is he too foolish or too confident in himself? There are two top-level middle spiritual kings in that organization. That type of mission can already be likened to a suicide!” the deputy leader scoffed, deliberately expressing his disdain for Ricky.
