Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1102 ’Playing with Fire

Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102 ’Playing with Fire

Holland Keller finally tore off his last disguise and revealed his true purpose for coming to the Gagnon Family to find Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt had long guessed Holland’s purpose, so he was not surprised.

Standing by, Randy Gagnon’s eyes became somewhat peculiar after hearing Holland’s words.

Others may not know why Wyatt could become a "Grade One alchemist" at such a young age and be able to refine Pill Medicine with a purity of "ninety percent" and above.

But he knew it crystal clear.

In his previous life, Wyatt was a powerful alchemist who had perfected the art of alchemy and, reincarnated with his memories intact, did not need to start from scratch in the field of alchemy.

In this life, he was a natural-born "Master Alchemist"!

As long as his cultivation was sufficient, he could conjure red flames of all grades at will, becoming an alchemist of corresponding grades.

"This Holland Keller seems to think that Elder Barnes has some special method that allows him to refine Pill Medicine with a purity above ’ninety percent’ at such a young age."

As the patriarch of the Gagnon Family, Randy had a clear and wise mind and easily guessed what Holland was thinking.

He knew that Holland was just wishfully thinking.

Because Elder Barnes’ method of refining Pill Medicine with a purity above ’ninety percent’ was almost impossible for others to replicate.

It was an achievement won by a formerly powerful existence after a lifetime of effort!

"If I don’t reveal the method of refining Pill Medicine with a purity above ’ninety percent’... do you really intend to kill me to silence me?"

Hearing Holland’s ruthless words, Wyatt was far from intimidated; instead, he asked calmly.

"I will first kill all the people around you whom you care about, then I will torture you slowly until your spirit breaks. When you collapse mentally, I will kill you!"

A cold light flashed in Holland’s eyes as he spoke with an icy tone.

When he uttered that sentence, his eyes deeply implied a glance at Winnie Romero, which caused an easily noticeable change in Wyatt’s expression.

A dragon has its reverse scales, touch them and you die!

Wyatt’s ’reverse scales’ were nothing but those people around him whom he cared about.

If others wanted to kill him, should he truly be outmatched, he would accept his fate without a word.

But should anyone try to kill those he cared about, he would never allow it!

In an instant, Wyatt’s face seemed to be covered with ice, his gaze coldly fixated on Holland as he said word by word, "Holland Keller, you’re playing with fire!"

Playing with fire!

Playing with fire and getting oneself burned!

That was undoubtedly the message Wyatt’s words conveyed.

"Playing with fire?"

Holland laughed, his smile radiant. "I might not know about other things, but I believe I have some tricks when it comes to ’playing with fire’... I can even handle a Grade One red flame, let alone a mundane fire."

By the end, Holland glanced at Wyatt with disdain, as if mocking Wyatt’s previous words.

"Have you really thought it through?"

Holland’s eyes, once again fixed on Wyatt, grew gradually colder in voice.

"Hmph! A ’worthless’ braggart."

Wyatt scanned Holland with contempt, replying disdainfully, word by word.

His words left no mercy, condemning with every syllable.

"That won’t work on me."

However, despite being called ’worthless,’ Holland seemed not to care at all; instead, he stared back at Wyatt with eyes glistening sharp.

"All you’re doing is trying to enrage me, hoping I lose my cool and face you in battle... Although, I don’t know why you possess such formidable strengths at such a young age, I know better than to foolishly fall for your provocations!"

Holland spoke in an unhurried manner, with a facial expression that read ’I’ve already seen through your plan’.

Once his ploy was uncovered, Wyatt’s expression soured, but he soon seemed to sense something, raising an eyebrow and quickly recovering.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, three gusts of wind entered the great hall, and with them appeared three elderly figures, taking their places beside Randy Gagnon and Wyatt.

There were three old men: one round as a ’ball,’ one thin as a ’bamboo pole,’ and the last of average build.

Wyatt was familiar with these three old men.

They were the Three Great Protectors of the Gagnon Family.

Kaizen Gagnon, Elio Gagnon, Kylen Gagnon.

All ’Martial Emperor Realm’ beings, they were the mainstays of the Gagnon Family.

"Patriarch, Elder Barnes, Miss Winnie."

Upon arrival, the three greeted Randy, Wyatt, and Winnie in turn, before tacitly eyeing Holland and Forest Coldring standing opposite them, faces filled with vigilance.

They had come at once upon discovering the breaking of an inscribed pearl embedded with an ’Inscription’ that their patriarch carried.

As the Three Great Protectors of the Gagnon Family, they knew their patriarch very well.

They understood that if Randy hadn’t encountered some major or urgent incident, he would never have willingly broken the inscribed pearl.

That’s why they had hastened here without delay.

Whoosh!

Soon another gust of wind swept through the hall, a white-haired, white-eyebrowed old man with an air of immortal grace appeared beside Randy.

The immortal-looking old man stood by Randy’s side, his face serene, unfathomable as an ancient well.

"Elder Yez Family Head."

After the appearance of the old man, whether it was the head of the Gagnon Family, ’Randy Gagnon,’ or the other three Protector elders of the Gagnon Family, they all saluted him with the utmost respect.

The old man was the previous generation’s family head of the Gagnon Family, Alaric Gagnon.

"Previous generation’s family head of the Gagnon Family?"

Wyatt Barnes stood to the side, his heart slightly startled. He hadn’t expected the previous generation’s family head of the Gagnon Family to still be alive, and even staying within the Gagnon Family itself.

"The members of the alchemist guild really carry quite the air of authority! They’ve come to run wild in our Gagnon Family’s territory."

After nodding at Randy Gagnon and the others, Alaric Gagnon shifted his gaze and casually swept Holland Keller and Forest Coldring with a look that was unmistakably mixed with anger.

"I’ve long heard that Elder Alaric Yez is ’the strongest in the Gagnon Family’... Seeing you today, it truly is an impressive sight!"

Holland Keller squeezed a smile onto his face again and greeted Alaric Gagnon.

However, Alaric Gagnon did not pay him any heed, instead turning to look at the green-robed middle-aged man next to him, Forest Coldring.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Alaric Gagnon moved, without any warning, his entire being shooting toward Forest Coldring as if transformed into a cannonball fired from the barrel.

Swoosh!

At the same moment Alaric Gagnon made his move, Forest Coldring also moved, likewise shooting out like a cannonball, bravely meeting him head-on.

At the same time, both of their figures disappeared from the sight of Wyatt Barnes and the others.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded, and Wyatt Barnes and the others saw Alaric Gagnon and Forest Coldring separate. Each taking five steps back before they finally steadied themselves, their eyes locking onto each other with a fierce and vigilant gaze.

In the instant the two men separated, waves of vast energy turbulence swept out in all directions, quickly turning into gusts of wind that caused the clothes on the bodies of Wyatt Barnes and the others to rustle and flap loudly.

Above the void, the heaven and earth force that hadn’t yet had the chance to condense into extraordinary phenomena dissipated without a trace.

Everyone present understood.

Although the matter had transpired in the blink of an eye, it was clear that Alaric Gagnon and Forest Coldring had exchanged blows, and neither had bested the other.

"No wonder he dared to act brazenly in my Gagnon Family... It turns out that you possess such formidable strength!" remarked Alaric Gagnon after giving Forest Coldring a deep look.

"You’re not bad either."

Forest Coldring’s expression remained cold, but as he looked at Alaric Gagnon, his eyes betrayed a deep sense of wariness.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Alaric Gagnon and Forest Coldring had a brief exchange, and it ended in a draw.

At this moment, Holland Keller’s smile completely froze on his face.

Although he knew that ’Alaric Gagnon,’ the elder family head of the Gagnon Family, was the strongest in the family, he hadn’t realized Alaric Gagnon would be so powerful, with strength not inferior to Forest Coldring’s.

"This Alaric Gagnon, he really deserves to die!" Holland Keller cursed inwardly.

It had been so close. The three months he’d been waiting were about to be completely in vain.

All of this was due to the emergence of the elder family head of the Gagnon Family, ’Alaric Gagnon.’ If not for Alaric Gagnon’s interference, he might have already succeeded by now.

"Elder Alaric Yez truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest in the Gagnon Family... I respect that," Holland Keller said, although inside, he was continuously cursing Alaric Gagnon. On his face, however, remained an utterly insincere smile from beginning to end.

Seeing Alaric Gagnon’s appearance had turned the tide against them, Holland Keller did not linger. He took Forest Coldring and skulked away.

"Thank you, Elder Family Head."

As Holland Keller and the elder, Forest Coldring, left cleanly, Wyatt Barnes came back to his senses and turned to Alaric Gagnon, thanking him with a smile.

"Please, Elder Barnes, you don’t need to be so polite," Alaric Gagnon replied, seemingly quite flustered by Wyatt’s gesture of gratitude.

"Hmm?"

Initially, Wyatt Barnes had noticed that Alaric Gagnon’s gaze toward him had been a bit off, and now seeing Alaric Gagnon’s flustered expression, he was even more certain of his observation.

"Could it be that he also knows about my ’true identity’?"

Soon after, Wyatt Barnes privately speculated, and the more he guessed, the more certain he became.

"That’s not right... The family head once swore by a ’Ninety-Nine Thunder Tribulation’ that he would not reveal my ’true identity.’ If that’s the case, how did the elder family head figure it out?"

He was utterly puzzled by this.

In the end, unable to hold back, he used Origin Force to privately ask Randy Gagnon and momentarily learned many things from him, including how the elder family head guessed his ’true identity.’

"So that’s how it is."

Suddenly, understanding dawned on Wyatt Barnes, and the confusion in his heart gradully cleared.

High above the Gagnon Family residence, two figures swiftly left, one after the other, like a pair of fleeting flashes of lightning.

They were none other than ’Holland Keller’ and ’Forest Coldring’ who had just departed the Gagnon Family estate.

However, the direction in which they now flew was not that of the alchemist guild.

"What a Gagnon Family, what an Alaric Gagnon... I will absolutely not let this matter rest!" Holland Keller said with a chilling light in his eyes.

"Let’s go! We’re heading to the Yez Family... and then, we’ll make a trip to the main hall of the Artifact Refiner Guild in the South Outlands!"

Soon after, Holland Keller narrowed his eyes and, with a call to Forest Coldring, sped off into the distance.
