A Warrior Undefeatable novel Chapter 4588

After all, as far as the city lord mansion was concerned, every prisoner was a resource. If someone died, it was a waste, and Ricky didn't want that responsibility on his shoulders.

He had seen countless brawls in his time, but the way Jared had effortlessly dispatched over a dozen cultivators was unlike anything he'd witnessed before.

“Wait a second,” Ricky muttered to himself. “I've seen this guy before. He came here once... to visit someone.” He turned to the guard beside him. “What's this kid's story again?”

“He got locked up for hitting Niel Buckley, the son of the Buckley family,” the guard explained. “They arrested him on the spot.”

“Hitting Niel? That sounds like he was asking for trouble,” Ricky said, frowning.

“I'm not so sure about that. After he was locked up, Mr. Reese, the one who bought the celestial crystals, sent over five hundred purple spirit coins,” the guard continued. “Even Mr. Reese coughed up money to get him out. Everyone knows how tightfisted that guy is. If he's spending, it's because this kid's important to someone.”

Ricky scrutinized Jared, his eyes narrowing as he tried to piece the puzzle together. “Hmm. Maybe he's got connections to Donovan. Could he be a relative?”

“Captain Ricky, should we step in? If he and Claude go at it...” The guard trailed off, leaning in to whisper.

Ricky waved him off dismissively. “Don't bother. I've had enough of Claude and his constant grandstanding. If someone's finally going to knock him down a peg, let it happen. As long as nobody dies, I don't see the problem. It's been a while since I got to enjoy a show.”

“But, Captain Ricky, if Claude gets hurt, how will we explain that to the city lord mansion?”

“Explain what? That I didn't do anything? The Lord hasn't shown up in ages. Who knows what's going on in the city lord mansion?” Ricky said with a cold snort.
