CHAPTER 982 CARNEY WAS COMING

However, before Ricky finished speaking, Amelia interrupted him, "Ricky, I understand. You don't need

to say anything more. After the matter is over, I will tell my father and the others."

"You know what I mean?" Ricky asked in surprise.

"Amanda already told me about it," Amelia said, biting her lip.

At that moment, only she knew how much his decision pained her. She wondered why he would even

decide that. Did he not find her attractive at all?

Of course, she couldn't blame Ricky. He had come all the way to their place, just so he could fulfill a

promise he made long ago. If that wasn't enough to prove Ricky's outstanding character, then she

didn't know what else could.

'Maybe it's because I'm not good enough!' Amelia thought to herself sadly.

"That's great. I didn't know how to talk about that," Ricky said with a relieved smile, nodding his head.

"You just came from a long journey. I know you're tired, so you can rest first, then afterward, we will

discuss what we should do next," Amelia said in a quiet tone.

She smiled weakly and then left Ricky to rest on his own.

As she left, Ricky couldn't help but follow her with his eyes, for she appeared so lonely and desolate. It

was like she was under the shadow of an old tree in the light of the setting sun.

Of course, he didn't feel happy either. He felt a little guilty, and it felt like he had done something bad to

her.

"Amelia looks so miserable. She must have been in love with you. Maybe you two didn't know each

other very well, but you were quite young at that time. A girl can never forget the first man she had a

crush on.

Although I don't want to share you with any more women, I hate seeing her look so lonely and desolate

because she loves you," Tina said.

"Let's talk about that later, Tina. We need to prepare first, just in case the members of the Chu Clan

come back," Ricky said helplessly.

With his current cultivation level, he didn't need to rest, because the long journey wouldn't have any

impact on his strength. But since he did feel a bit fatigued, he still went to rest.

Cultivation at the Demi-emperor Level and the Emperor Level was more focused on the cultivation of

the mind because only this kind of cultivation could promote comprehension. Therefore, he had to train

his mind so that it could perform to its optimum capacity at all times.

After Amelia came out of Ricky's room, she absent-mindedly walked to the cultivation yard where

Amanda was.

"It looks like Ricky already talked to you," Amanda asked and winced in sympathy, as she studied

Amelia's forlorn expression.

As Amelia's elder sister, she could tell what her sister was thinking and feeling. She could tell that

Amelia was hurting, but she couldn't force Ricky to fall in love with her at all.

"Amelia, if you love Ricky, don't think about anything else. Just go and tell him. After all, he has never

refused you explicitly," said Amanda, as she tried to comfort her sister.

"Remember that you only met today because of a promise that he made a long time ago.

He came here because he is an honorable man who keeps his word. If he didn't come today, you would

have forgotten him. You don't need to feel so frustrated because you still have the chance to express

your affections openly to him."

Amelia's eyes lit up as she heard Amanda's words. What Amanda said indeed made sense.

"Thanks, Amanda. I feel a lot better," Amelia said excitedly.

"That's great!" Amanda answered in the same cheerful tone, as she was happy that her younger sister

no longer seemed so heartbroken.

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye. Throughout these days, the entire Hong Clan was shrouded

in a tense atmosphere, and some members of other clans also came. This was because they saw how

disheveled and angry Curran looked when he left the Hong Clan that day.

They had a vague feeling that something would happen between the Chu Clan and the Hong Clan in a

few days, and they wanted to witness it in person.

Things went just as they expected. On the third day, Carney, the strongest genius in the region,

appeared, and with him were Curran, some genius disciples of the Chu Clan, and a strong demi-

spiritual emperor. They came to the Hong Clan in a mighty formation that made their enemies tremble.

"It looks like things are much more serious than we have imagined, or Carney wouldn't have come here

in person. After all, there are only a few things that are important enough for such a genius to come

and deal with it in person," one warrior said in a solemn tone when they saw that Carney had come in

person.

"I agree with you. I wonder what happened between Curran and the Hong Clan a few days ago. I

asked some disciples of the Hong Clan, but they refused to tell me anything," another warrior

remarked.

"Let's go. We will find out what's going on if we watch secretly. I'm dying to know what the Hong Clan

did that angered the Chu Clan so much."

Then, the outsiders followed Carney and his entourage inside where the Hong Clan was located.

Carney was a tall and bulky man with slightly curly, fiery-red hair. He was spirited and handsome, and

the fiery-red robe he wore made him look like a god of war engulfed in flames.

He had a dark red mark that was etched deeply on his chest, and one glance at this mark made people

feel like they had fallen into the abyss, filled with unquenchable flames.

At the same time, Carney himself was like a burning flame of heavenly fire.

It seemed that nobody in the nearby vicinity could fight him, let alone win against him.

At that moment, he appeared calm and almost indifferent, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion.

None of them could tell what he was thinking.

Abraham and the other members of the Hong Clan met them in mid-air.

"Carney, what are you doing here with such a grand retinue? Have you come to destroy our Hong

Clan?" Abraham spoke first and broke the silence.

"Uncle Abraham, please don't speak so seriously. Our Chu Clan and your Hong Clan are going to

become relatives by marriage. How could I destroy the Hong Clan?" Carney said in a flat tone, a

complete opposite of his warm words.

"I came here today because of Curran. A few days ago, he ran amok in here, so I am bringing him here

to apologize to you."

Then, without waiting for Abraham's response, Carney looked sharply at Curran.

Despite his unwillingness, Curran came forward and apologized to the members of the Hong Clan.

And when the people around them saw this, they were dumbfounded, as this was the exact opposite of

what they were expecting. They had thought that the Chu Clan would be arrogant and domineering in

front of the Hong Clan. Content provided by .

But now, it turned out that the Chu Clan came to apologize to the Hong Clan.

"What happened? How could this be? Why is the Chu Clan apologizing of their own accord? Am I

dreaming?" Many warriors began to talk about it telepathically.

"No, you're not dreaming! The Chu Clan did apologize to the Hong Clan. Maybe it's because Carney

truly loves Amelia, so he is willing to go this far."

"I don't believe in true love. Let's wait and see what happens next!"

While the warriors were discussing among themselves, Curran's cruel voice sounded again. He pointed

at Ricky and said loudly, "It was him, Carney. It was him that day!"
