CHAPTER 651 THE FIGHT WAS STOPPED
"My name is Henry Chen." Henry answered Pearl's question with a smile.
Then, he turned around and looked at Ricky. "Here we meet again, Ricky, the ace genius people talk
about. I have this gut feeling that you must have made great progress," he said, still smiling.
"Henry, I never anticipated that you would appear here and stop the fight. Why did you do that?" Ricky
asked with a serious look. Although Henry had a kind smile, Ricky still felt that Henry might have some
evil intention, so he kept alert.
At the same time, Ricky also noticed the members of the Bu Clan, the Jiang Clan, and the Bing Clan.
At first, only those from the Bing Clan were with Henry, but now, everyone from the three clans was
with Henry. They all behaved weirdly, which Ricky found strange.
Normally, they would become angry at the sight of Ricky, but they did not. Instead, they were vacant-
eyed as if they did not know who Ricky was at all. They seemed to be under someone's control.
They were supposed to follow Pearl, not Henry.
And the strangest thing was that it seemed that they did not know who Pearl was either.
"Oh, Ricky, don't be so serious. I've just come at the right time, haven't I? If I'm guessing correctly, you
don't want to fight against them, do you? I can see that you cannot defeat them within a short period of
time because your strengths are comparable," Henry said.
"So, I just did you a favor by stopping the battle."
Hearing Henry's speech, Ricky fell silent. A few seconds later, he said, "You are right. I think I should
thank you, Henry."
Henry was right. Ricky did not want to continue the fight.
Although Daisy, Warren, Thiago, and Terrence had reached the peak level as middle spiritual kings,
they were still not as strong as Ricky. They still had to practice more before genuinely reaching Ricky's
level.
As for Pearl, her two suitors, and the two commanders from the Nether Manor, all of them were at the
same level with Ricky. So Ricky and his friends were not as strong as them in general.
Ricky and his friends came here because they had a secret weapon—a relatively smaller Spiritual
Energy Gathering Array created by Thiago temporarily. They could carry it with them easily. Although it
was not as strong as a real, powerful Spiritual Energy Gathering Array, it could enhance their power for
a short period of time.
Within that period of time, Ricky had to fight and solve some problems.
"I feel so honored when an ace genius like you thanks me. At least, I did not come here in vain," Henry
said, bursting into laughter.
The warriors in the surroundings were puzzled as they stared at Henry. They had never heard of Henry
before. Judging from the fact that Henry successfully stopped the battle between Ricky and Pearl,
everyone deduced that Henry must be a powerful warrior.
"Who do you think you are? You are being very bold to claim that you would stop the fight," Ronson
interjected.
Before his voice could fade in the air, Ronson was already throwing a punch toward Henry ferociously.
Pearl did not stop him. She looked at Henry, pondering how Henry would respond. She was curious
about Henry's strength as well.
Ricky, on the other hand, was lost in thought. He would never doubt Henry's strength. Henry stopping
the fight between him and Pearl was what bothered him.
Typically, Henry would gain more benefits if other warriors died here, especially strong warriors like
Pearl. If Henry did not interfere, Pearl might get hurt. Now that Henry stopped the fight, Pearl would
definitely remain unharmed. Why did Henry do that?
"Ricky, Henry probably has noticed that Pearl has teamed up with the commanders from the Nether
Manor," Daisy told Ricky telepathically. "So he wants to team up with us as well."
"I hope so," Ricky responded.
Deep inside, he felt that things were not that easy. He believed that Henry had other intentions.
"Now that I've said that I will stop the fight, you are not going to stop me," Henry said flatly, waiting for
Ronson to land his punch. Then, he fought back with his fist.
Boom!
Their fists collided and caused a loud explosion. An average-sized air billow engulfed them. Hanging
up in the air, they retreated because of the strong impact, three steps for Henry while seven steps for
Ronson.
Ronson had exerted almost all his strength when he threw his punch while Henry only employed a
small part of his strength.
From that fact alone, Henry was indeed much stronger than Ronson.
But whether this conclusion remained solid, it all depended on a serious fight.
Ronson's face grew dark. He also realized that he was not a match for Henry in terms of strength, so
he decided to stop attacking Henry. He was a smart man and knew that he would end up losing to
Henry should he insist on fighting. Henry was powerful enough to fight back.
Although Ronson liked Pearl, he would not be stupid enough to sacrifice himself for her. Staying alive
was the most important thing to him.
"Well, what do you think? Am I powerful enough to stop the fight?" Henry said calmly, watching Ronson
concede.
Afterward, he turned his gaze to Pearl and Brian. Henry could tell that they had the final say.
"Your name is Henry, right? You are indeed quite powerful, but since we are all standing in the Land of
Legacy, I think we are actually neck and neck when it comes to strength. I'm afraid you are being a little
arrogant by claiming to stop the fight," Brian said, smiling and walking ahead slowly.
Henry kept silent. He merely nodded his head a few times before he looked up the sky and said in a
loud voice, "Yori, it's time. I'm afraid I can't stop the fight without you."
Then, several dazzling lights shot toward them from space.
A young, handsome man in white flew toward them, his feet landing softly on the ground. It was like
watching an angel come on earth with a meteor shower.
"Yori from the Star Sect!" Many of the warriors recognized who the young man was.
"It's you, Yori!" Both Ronson and Jackson were surprised when they saw Yori. They knew Yori well Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
because they had fought against Yori many times.
"You are with Henry. That is surprising."
"Henry is my good friend. Of course I'm with him," Yori answered plainly.
"Ricky, judging from his friendship with Yori, I can tell that Henry is a powerful warrior with many
connections in the world. Yori wields a very powerful sword. He is arrogant and rarely makes friends
even inside the Star Sect's territory. He doesn't care about others," Terrence told Ricky via their
telepathic link.
"It's just so surprising that Yori is actually Henry's friend."
"Oh, is that so?" Ricky responded, still feeling more concerned about Henry than Yori. The more
mysterious Henry was to him, the more Ricky felt threatened. His gut told him that Henry was definitely
an enemy, but Henry did not show any hostility toward Ricky, so Ricky had no idea what Henry
intended to do. Ricky chose to be nice to Henry for the time being. Playing by ear was his tactic.
The faces of Pearl, Brian, and their friends grew darker on the other hand.
Now that Yori showed up and joined Henry, Henry was surely powerful enough to stop the fight. They
all were well aware of that.
Pearl stared for a long time. Finally, she asked, "Henry, can you tell me why you want to stop this
battle? Do you want to help Ricky? As far as I know, you only met him once. You are not even his
acquaintance. I don't think you can benefit from stopping the fight."
