CHAPTER 764 NO ONE KNEW THE REASON

"How could it be possible?" It seems that Gorden is being serious! How could it be real?" all the

warriors surrounding the area exclaimed in disbelief. They could not believe Gorden's words. Although

Ricky's instant promotion to becoming the sixth chief of the Casting Center had essentially nothing to

do with them, they couldn't help but still feel jealous of him.

Ricky himself didn't know what he should do. He really had not expected Gorden to be serious about

offering him the position of the Casting Center's sixth chief.

"Ricky, it doesn't matter if you are strong enough or not. Just tell me, are you willing to be the sixth chief

of the Casting Center? Do give me a straight and clear answer," Gorden queried once again, but this

time, with more fervor and force in his voice.

Truth be told, Gorden raised such a question to test and gauge whether Ricky was a brave warrior or

not.

Ricky fell silent and began to think more carefully about Gorden's question. A few moments later, he

raised his head and revealed his answer to Gorden's question through telepathy. "Sir, please forgive

me for being blunt. I am really not suitable to be the sixth chief considering my current ability and

strength. And I'm sure you know well about it." He paused to lick his lips that had gone slightly dry and

then asked, "Let me ask you, sir, why did you present me with such an offer?"

At the back of his mind, Ricky thought that perhaps his question would irritate Gorden. Still, he went on

to ask his question anyway. He had to. He didn't want to deal with any confusion when it came to

himself.

"You have great talent and a meticulous mind. With these two characters combined, you are really

qualified to become a strong warrior." Gorden wasn't angered or irked by Ricky's question. Instead, he

replied and acknowledged it by giving him praises.

"To be honest, I don't know the reason either, because It wasn't my sole decision to offer you the

position as the sixth chief of the Casting Center."

"What?" Ricky's eyes were wide as saucers. "Are you saying it wasn't you who made the decision?"

Ricky asked in shock and confusion at Gorden's revelation.

"No, I didn't. I am just the second chief of the Casting Center," Gorden stated so nonchalantly, as if to

remind Ricky that while he might hold power and authority in the Casting Center, that didn't give him

enough capacity to implement decisions and plans as drastic as offering Ricky the sixth seat of the

Casting Center's chiefs.

"Sir, do you mean to say...that it was Master Todd who made the offer?" Ricky asked slowly and with

disbelief. Simply thinking about the possibility made him extremely surprised.

"Good job! You are correct!" Gorden exclaimed.

"But how is that possible? I even don't know him. And even if he does know me, it simply doesn't add

up. It is just weird for him to even think about making me the sixth chief of the Casting Center," Ricky

said with disbelief. He felt so unreal when he heard Gorden confirm that it was, in fact, Todd who

wanted him to be the sixth chief.

"As a matter of fact, I am also confused. Todd has not shown himself for decades. How and why could

he make such a decision? What's more, he has been in seclusion in recent years, and so it's

impossible for him to know who you are. But a few days ago, he sent a message to me and asked me

to invite you to join the Casting Center as the sixth chief," Gorden explained as he nodded his head

slightly.

"But, I don't think we should ponder on the reason for the time being. I'm still waiting for your answer."

Again, Ricky fell into silence.

"Tina, I don't know what I should do now. Should I say yes or no? I'm totally confused," Ricky then

asked Tina through telepathy. He would usually turn to Soar and Tina for advice when he had no idea

how to deal with a tricky situation.

"Ricky, I've told you that accepting the offer would bring you more advantages than disadvantages. We

can just stop thinking about why Master Todd made such an offer to you," Tina replied, reinforcing her

initial answer to Ricky's question. "Moreover, even if, say, Master Todd has bad intentions set up for

you, you would still be unable to escape him whether you are the sixth chief of the Casting Center or

not. So why not just accept the offer?"

"You're right, Tina. Then I'll just take this position and accept the offer! Even if the sixth chief might be

only a title without any power, I will make the position an important one in the Casting Center sooner or

later," Ricky said without hesitation upon hearing Tina's words. Her affirmation helped him regain his

confidence and realign his concentration.

He was not a man who would hesitate, especially when he was determined to do and accomplish

something. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

A firm look began to form on Ricky's face. He then looked up at Gorden and said, "Sir, now that you've

invited me, I have no reason to refuse your offer. I will take the honor of being the sixth chief of the

Casting Center."

"What!?" Disbelief and astonishment filled the entire area. "He said yes!!" Some of the warriors were

excited, while some were dismayed. The onlookers around began their discussion upon hearing

Ricky's positive reply.

"Does...does he really think that he is capable enough to be the sixth chief and hold his own in the

Casting Center?" More and more envious and doubtful onlookers sneered at Ricky's acceptance. They

had admired Ricky, but now, it seemed the admiration burst as quickly as a bubble and was now

replaced by disdain.

"I think he's really biting off more than he can chew! I admit that he is gifted and talented. But I

seriously doubt his ability to be the sixth chief of the Casting Center," one of them added.

They really weren't mincing words.

"Ha-ha! Well, I'm glad to hear that. Since you have agreed, I hereby declare that you will be the sixth

chief of the Casting Center from here on," Gorden expressed with a smile on his face after he heard

Ricky's reply. He didn't think that Ricky was overconfident at all. Otherwise, Ricky would not have

asked him secretly.

Ricky was still in a trance. He came to the Casting Center only to win some treasures. But why did he

end up being the sixth chief of the Casting Center?

"Wait!" Suddenly, a voice came out to stop it. It was none other than Sellers—the third chief of the

Casting Center.

Sellers appeared out of nowhere. Actually, he did not want to show up there at all. But he had to. He

was on a mission to stop Ricky from being the sixth chief of the Casting Center. What was more, there

were a dozen of middle-aged and old warriors following him from behind. Judging from the powers and

momentums they were releasing, it could be told that they were casting masters at the intermediate

stage and advanced stage of Spirit Level.

Undoubtedly, Sellers had aligned with them, intending to stop Ricky from being the sixth chief.

All eyes were fixed on Sellers. They knew why he, along with the other casting masters showed up.

"I wonder if Sellers can stop it," some of the warriors said. Everyone was highly anticipating how things

would turn out from there.

"I think it's going to be difficult," another warrior said.

Sellers was determined to prevent Ricky's inclusion into the Casting Center's line-up of powerful

authorities.

"Gorden, there is a clear rule in our Casting Center that only a casting master of Demi-sage Level is

qualified to be a chief," Sellers said straightforwardly. "These casting masters won't agree on your

decision."

"Really?" Gorden raised his eyebrows, leaning back a little. "So, do you all agree with Sellers?" Gorden

turned to ask the people standing behind Sellers. Gorden was not taken aback by his intervention.

His voice was soft, yet there was a hint of anger in it.

These casting masters, of course, felt the slight anger emanated by Gorden. At that moment, they

suddenly became a little scared. They then hesitated and said, "Gorden, we are simply following the

rules of the Casting Center."

"The rules?" Gorden crossed his arms. He was starting to feel impatient. "Let me ask you this. Who do

you think will have the final say in the Casting Center?" Gorden asked in a chilly and condescending

tone.

"Of course, it would be Todd and you!" they all answered at once without hesitation.

"I'm glad you are keeping that in mind. Todd and I have the final say and we make the rules. Now that

Todd is not around, I will be the one who decides everything. If you are here to question me, I implore

you to come and challenge me the moment you grow stronger than me." Gorden was not going to

waste any more time with Sellers and his band of naysayers.

Gorden's fearless reply left the casting masters shocked and shivering. It dawned upon them that the

man in front of them was not only a casting master of Demi-sage Level, but also a supreme spiritual

emperor.

They began to feel regretful. Why did they come with Sellers to stop a decision which had been made

by Gorden in the first place? Where did their courage to threaten a spiritual emperor and casting

master of Demi-saint Level come from? They all realized that they were asking for death by doing so.

Sellers's eyes could clearly be seen being clouded with gloom.

He really couldn't understand why Gorden would have made such a decision. What Sellers didn't know

was that even Gorden himself didn't fully grasp the motivation behind Todd's big decision.

"Sellers, if this is your reason for trying to oppose and stop what has already been decided, then feel

free to question and challenge me once you surpass my power and strength!"
