Chapter 1170 Competition During The Auction (1/2)

”Well, you are right. Maybe, I can marry you to pay you back,” was Ricky's cheeky answer.

The teasing smile on his face widened when Edie scowled coldly. ”Fuck off!”

he yelled before he left, and Ricky could only shrug helplessly, scratching his head with a crude grin.

Meanwhile, the Thousand-hand Emperor was a little surprised when he saw this, for he could tell that Edie was not really angry at Ricky. He was astounded to see Edie bickering with someone, and Edie seemed to care a lot about the white-haired man too. He had never seen anything like it before!

After all, Edie had never thought highly of any genius in this region.

'It seems that the so-called Kenney is not a simple person. He could not have drawn Edie's attention only by killing Redmond, so there must be something special about him,'

the Thousand-hand Emperor thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ricky and the two girls had entered the castle's hall where the auction would be held.

In the center of the hall was the auction platform, surrounded by rows of seats. At present, the hall was already crowded with people, and most of the seats were occupied.

”It seems that we are late. Finding a seat will not be easy,” Ricky murmured to the girls.

”There are a few private boxes upstairs, but I'm afraid they have all been booked by those big forces already. I'm afraid the three of us can't make it,” Tina answered, worriedly wringing her hands together.

At this time, a young manservant came up to Ricky and said in a soft voice, ”Mister Kenney, ladies, please follow me. Your box is ready.”

”We have a private box?” Ricky blurted out, his eyes wide in surprise.

”Yes. Deacon Edie has arranged one for you three,” answered the young manservant primly.

”I see. Please convey my thanks to him then,”

Ricky told the young man with a smile, gesturing for him to lead the way.

”Ricky, is it possible that Edie has a crush on you? I mean, why else would he arrange all these for you?” Tina asked with amusement once they had entered the comfortable private box.

”Wha—what are you talking about? I'm not interested in men!” Ricky looked flustered for a second, as he shook his head fervently.
