Chapter 730 Destination (1/2)
When they heard what Connor said, the chief of the Casting Guild and the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness all became curious. Their ears perked up as they listened more attentively.
'He probably wants to talk about the death of the Shadow King. Maybe he will expose the truth that I killed the Shadow King, ' Ricky thought to himself.
”What is it?” asked the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness.
”Are you worried that I'm the one who killed the Shadow King?” Connor said. His boisterous laughter filled the room. ”I do have the power to kill the Shadow King, but I didn't do it.
Yori, am I right?” Connor turned to Ricky.
”Alright everyone, you don't have to guess anymore. I am the one who killed the Shadow King. We had an unsettled feud with each other, so we decided to have a duel to the death. He lost and I killed him,” Ricky admitted after he heard what Connor said.
A profound silence enveloped the palace. The sound of breathing and rustling of cloth could be heard, as everyone looked at each other but had no idea what to say next.
Disbelief and confusion crept into the eyes of the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness and the chief of the Casting Guild.
None of them believed that Ricky had the capability to kill the Shadow King. However, they now kind of understood why Connor made Ricky a deputy leader of the Celestial Army in the first place.
Some of them were confused because they thought Connor and Ricky could be working together to deceive them.
However, Scott was shocked as he knew who Ricky truly was.
'This is impossible. How could he have acquired the power of a second-class upper spiritual king in such a short time?' Scott thought to himself in disbelief.
Suddenly, he understood why Scar would follow Ricky's order, but he could never imagine the main reason behind this was the bonding contract.
”Ricky, was it really you that killed the Shadow King?”
Scott asked through telepathy. Ricky didn't know that the subordinate of Scar had started to admire him because of his performance.
