Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1131: Insatiable Greed

Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: Insatiable Greed

Yin and Yang Sect’s Elder, although nearly bursting with fury, had no choice but to honestly hand over nine hundred and fifty top-grade original stones.

"Two Elders, I am very much looking forward to our next meeting."

After the bandit leader obtained the top-grade original stones, he smiled warmly at the two Yin and Yang Sect Elders, appearing extremely friendly, as if he were a friend of theirs.

Hearing the words of the bandit leader, the two Yin and Yang Sect Elders were so infuriated they gnashed their teeth, their faces flushed red and their chests heaved like bellows, struggling to calm down for a long time.

"Young brother, I bid you farewell."

Then, the bandit leader glanced once more at Wyatt Barnes, who had closed his eyes and was ignoring the surrounding affairs, before leading his group of bandits back to their small flying boat, roaring off into the distance.

At the same time, the calm on the Yin and Yang Sect’s flying boat was restored.

Apart from Wyatt Barnes, who sat there with his eyes closed, and Winnie Romero, who sat silently beside him, everyone present, including Fill Bear, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere just now had been suffocating.

"Now, the storm has finally passed!"

"Young Master, were you able to tell what cultivation levels those bandits possessed?"

Fill Bear looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked softly.

In his eyes,

his Young Master’s discernment was unique, often accurately perceiving a person’s cultivation level.

"With their strength, if Winnie and I hadn’t intervened, even you helping those two old men would have undoubtedly led to our defeat!"

Wyatt Barnes responded sideways to Fill Bear.

"Then..."

Fill Bear looked puzzled, not having finished his words when Wyatt Barnes interrupted him, "Are you asking why I didn’t intervene... is that what you’re wondering?"

"Mm."

Fill Bear nodded.

"Since they could resolve the issue with original stones, why would I intervene? Surely if I had intervened, could I have earned those thousand top-grade original stones?"

Wyatt Barnes concluded, casting a glance at Fill Bear.

Hearing this, Fill Bear was momentarily stunned.

He had never expected his Young Master to think this way, and he internally sighed with a bitter smile, "The Young Master is indeed the Young Master, always thinking in ways I could never fully grasp."

At that moment, the two Yin and Yang Sect Elders still looked unsightly, with one of them moving to the front of the flying boat to start it up.

Whoosh!

The flying boat broke through the air, continuing on its way.

"What just happened, I believe everyone saw it."

At this moment, the other Yin and Yang Sect Elder who was not controlling the flying boat surveyed the surroundings and spoke solemnly.

Upon the Elder’s words, many people’s expressions changed.

"Could it be they want us to pay those nine hundred and fifty top-grade original stones?"

Soon, someone speculated with an ugly expression.

"If they ask us to pay, wouldn’t that be ridiculous? It’s clear that they couldn’t protect us, so they had to pay the bandits a ’toll’."

Many faces showed dissatisfaction and anger.

If anyone among those present was more composed, it was Wyatt Barnes.

Watching the faint indifference emerging on Wyatt Barnes’ face, it seemed as though he had anticipated this situation.

"Hmph!"

The Yin and Yang Sect Elder snorted coldly, his voice thunderous, overpowering the noise within the flying boat, and he said sternly, "You are riding in our Yin and Yang Sect’s flying boat to the mainland, paying only the traveling fee."

"What we just paid is your fee for staying alive! If we hadn’t paid, not just us, but none of you would have survived."

"Who dares deny this?!"

The Yin and Yang Sect Elder’s tone grew increasingly angry as he spoke.

For a time, the entire flying boat fell silent.

Although many were still angry, they now dared not say any more, fearing they might provoke the Yin and Yang Sect Elder before them.

"Elder, then how much must each of us pay?"

Someone asked, voicing the concerns of everyone present.

"I’ve calculated... There are seventy-three people on the flying boat, each person needs to hand over fifteen top-grade original stones."

The Yin and Yang Sect Elder said.

Seventy-three people?

Each person handing over fifteen?

At that moment, many faces turned pale.

If everyone really did pay up, not only would they have borne the burden of the ’toll’ given to the bandit gang, the Yin and Yang Sect’s Elders would also make an additional profit of over a hundred top-grade original stones.

Many wanted to speak, but upon noticing the sharp gaze of the Yin and Yang Sect Elder sweeping over them, they went silent like frostbitten eggplants, completely deflated.

For a time, the whole flying boat fell into a deadly hush.

"Elder, I don’t have fifteen top-grade original stones,"

a sudden voice broke the dead silence within the flying boat, belonging to a middle-aged man who appeared helpless as he addressed the Yin and Yang Sect Elder.

"You don’t have fifteen top-grade original stones? Are you sure?"

The Yin and Yang Sect Elder’s face darkened, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he asked sternly.

"Elder, I truly don’t have that many top-grade original stones... If you don’t believe me, I can unbind my Storage Ring and show you."

The middle-aged man spoke, about to remove the Storage Ring from his hand.

"No need!"

The Yin and Yang Sect Elder spoke out to stop him.

"No need?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, thinking that the elder from the Yin and Yang Sect pitied him and didn’t intend to collect the top-grade original stones from him.

But are there such good things in the world?

The answer is no.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, he felt a flash in front of him and suddenly, there was an additional person in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t it the elder from the Yin and Yang Sect?

He had no time to react when he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his abdomen. The pain was so intense that he didn’t even have time to scream before he completely lost consciousness.

Bang!

At the same time, a loud noise spread, causing the people inside the flying boat to look sideways.

The scene before them caused everyone’s expressions to change dramatically.

The elder from the Yin and Yang Sect casually punched, destroying the middle-aged man’s dantian. As the man passed out from the pain, the elder grabbed his arm and directly threw him out of the flying boat.

The middle-aged man was thrown out of the flying boat and was immediately awakened by the biting wind. By the time he realized what had happened, he was already plummeting toward the surface of the Weak Water River.

"Ah!!"

Inside the flying boat, everyone only heard a fleeting scream that abruptly stopped.

For a moment, the inside of the flying boat fell into dead silence again.

Many people were breaking out in a cold sweat.

"What a method!"

Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes, showing interest as he watched the Yin and Yang Sect elder throw the middle-aged man out of the flying boat.

He could tell that the elder had done it on purpose.

The real intention was not in the wine after all!

Sure enough, with such a deterrent by the elder, the rest of the people completely lost their spirit and each obediently handed over their top-grade original stones.

In a moment, only Wyatt’s group of three and the old man sitting opposite them had not yet handed theirs over.

Seeing the elder approaching, the old man hurriedly took out fifteen top-grade original stones to hand over.

"Wait."

Just then, Wyatt Barnes spoke up, stopping the old man.

"Hmm?"

The old man looked at Wyatt, his face filled with confusion, not understanding what Wyatt intended to do.

"Esteemed elder, I just saved you fifty top-grade original stones... Our group of four shouldn’t have to hand any over, right?"

Wyatt looked intently at the Yin and Yang Sect elder and asked.

Whoosh!

As soon as Wyatt spoke, before the elder could respond, there was a stir among the people inside the flying boat.

"Did he... Did he bargain with the bandit leader earlier just so they wouldn’t have to hand over top-grade original stones now?"

"Did he predict that the Yin and Yang Sect elder would ask us to hand over the top-grade original stones?"

"What a terrifying person! To think of these things at that time."

...

Many people gasped.

Faced with Wyatt’s question, the Yin and Yang Sect elder ignored him, as if he hadn’t heard him at all and continued to address the man, "Are you sure you’re not handing them over?"

"I’ll hand them over! I’ll hand them over!"

Seeing the cold light flickering in the eyes of the Yin and Yang Sect elder, the old man panicked and quickly handed over the fifteen top-grade original stones in his hands.

Only after the old man handed over the original stones did Wyatt come to his senses, his expression darkening.

He hadn’t expected the Yin and Yang Sect elder to be so insatiably greedy!

He had spoken to that extent and yet, the elder still forced the old man to hand over the top-grade original stones.

"You three... Forty-five top-grade original stones."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, after taking the old man’s stones, the Yin and Yang Sect elder then calmly spoke to Wyatt and his group.

Though his tone was calm, it carried an inarguable firmness.

"Forty-five top-grade original stones?"

Wyatt looked at the Yin and Yang Sect elder close at hand and sneered, "Is there something wrong with your ears? I just told you that I saved you fifty top-grade original stones!"

"One thing does not pertain to the other... Now, everyone else has handed theirs over, and you think it’s possible for you not to?"

The Yin and Yang Sect elder also sneered, a chilling light flashing in his eyes, as if ready to strike at Wyatt and his group at any disagreement.

And he indeed harbored such intentions.

He had long wanted to kill the three people before him and take the ’wealth’ left by the Swallow Gold organization, but he had never found the opportunity or the excuse.

After all, if he had killed them earlier, it would undoubtedly signal to everyone that their Yin and Yang Sect was complicit in letting the Swallow Gold organization scam others.

If that happened, their sect’s image and reputation would be ruined.

But now, things were different. Now, he had the opportunity and the excuse.

Now, he was eager for the three of them to resist and not hand over the forty-five top-grade original stones, giving him an excuse to kill them and throw them out of the flying boat.

"To be human, one should not be too greedy! One must know when to stop."

Wyatt’s eyes narrowed, a fleeting cold light flashed by, and his tone was purposefully made a few degrees lower, filled with barely suppressed anger.

"Not handing them over?"

The Yin and Yang Sect elder laughed, his laughter unrestrained.

Finally, he got his chance!

Just as the Yin and Yang Sect elder, standing in front of Wyatt, prepared to strike and kill Wyatt, take the storage ring, and throw him out of the flying boat...

"Damn it!!"

A frustrated and irritated shout came, it was the voice of the Yin and Yang Sect elder operating the flying boat, "Bandits again! Truly unlucky times."
