Born Almighty Warrior
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.

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!"
