Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 764

"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.

"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!"
