Legend of Wyatt -
Chapter 114 Sami Thorn
Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Sami Thorn
Wyatt Barnes’s eyebrows furrowed at the sound.
He was not taken aback by the fact that the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Kaiser Myers, wished to meet him.
After all, he had killed someone from the Iron Blood Army.
"Wyatt, we will accompany you to testify!"
Remi Sinclair and his group stood up.
"There’s no need. The fact that the Deputy Commander-in-Chief has summoned me, rather than ordering my capture, means he has surely already understood the circumstances of the incident. I’ll return soon."
A small smile hung on Wyatt’s face.
"Of course."
Remi nodded. He was not impulsive, and his previous reaction had simply been driven by concern.
Walking out of his tent, Wyatt addressed the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army, "Good sir, I am indeed Wyatt Barnes."
The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army stared deeply at Wyatt.
The shock within their hearts was overwhelming.
Was this nearly seventeen years old teenager, the same ’Wyatt Barnes’ who had killed Joseph Davies?
They had heard that the teenager who had killed Joseph Davies was at the fifth level of the Condensed Pill Realm.
A teenager not yet seventeen, already at the fifth level of the Condensed Pill Realm...
The mere thought of it made their scalps numb.
Not long after, under the guidance of a soldier from the Iron Blood Army, Wyatt quickly entered Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kaiser Myers’ tent.
However, once inside, Wyatt realized that it was empty.
"What’s going on?"
Wyatt questioned the Iron Blood Army soldier who had guided him there.
"The Deputy Commander-in-Chief may have stepped out momentarily, please wait."
Following this response,
Wyatt began to wait, while taking the time to glance around at Kaiser Myers’ tent.
Indeed, befitting of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the tent was thrice the size of the one he had been staying in. Only half of it was currently in view, with the other half blocked by a screen.
The area behind it was likely used for rest.
Ten minutes later.
Wyatt’s brows slightly furrowed.
The Deputy Commander-in-Chief ’Kaiser Myers’ had someone fetch him but had inexplicably disappeared. What was going on?
Just then,
Wyatt felt a subtle change in the ambience, sensing the approach of people.
The steady footsteps of two individuals could be heard proceeding towards his current location.
"The one on the left, the steadiness of his footsteps surpasses that of the person on the right... the person on the left should be the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and the one on the right... could they be a Centurion?"
Wyatt speculated in his heart.
The tent entrance was lifted by the individual on the right.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief!"
Upon seeing the man lifting the curtain, Wyatt was somewhat surprised.
He had never expected that among the two arrivals, the one who seemed from comparison to be weaker, the ’person on the right’, would turn out to be Kaiser Myers.
As for the other person...
"Haha! Wyatt Barnes, I’ve kept you waiting, haven’t I?"
Kaiser Myers laughed heartily as he entered, lifting the curtain to allow the other person to come in.
The person who entered was a refined middle-aged scholar, whose beaming smile felt like a warm spring breeze.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Wyatt promptly acknowledged his presence with a bow.
The middle-aged scholar was taken aback, and Kaiser Myers, who had just settled the curtain, also seemed surprised.
"How did you know?"
The middle-aged scholar, the ’Commander-in-Chief of the Iron Blood Army Sami Thorn’, was intrigued as he looked at Wyatt.
"Seeing the Deputy Commander-in-Chief personally lifting the curtain for you and acting so respectfully towards you, isn’t that obvious?"
Wyatt replied with a smile.
His heart was slightly taken aback.
He had expected that, using Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kaiser Myers as an example, the ’Commander-in-Chief’ of the Iron Blood Army would be a burly man...
Yet he was a distinctive scholar.
Only by appearance, you couldn’t tell this was the blood-soaked Commander-in-Chief of the Iron Blood Army who had fought through countless battles.
"Surely not only these give you a hint of my identity, right?"
Sami Thorn looked deeply into Wyatt’s eyes. His profound gaze seemingly could predict everything.
Wyatt gave an embarrassed smile, "I couldn’t fool the Commander-in-Chief... that’s right, I discerned the fact from your footstep sounds. I originally thought that the person on the left was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and the person on the right was the Centurion."
At these words, Kaiser grew solemn.
Sami Thorn smiled, "To discern the level of Kaiser and I’s cultivation just from our footsteps... I have to say, young man, you are remarkable."
"Commander-in-Chief overpraises me."
Wyatt stepped aside, welcoming both the leaders of the Iron Blood Army into the tent.
Sami Thorn and Kaiser Myers successively sat down.
"Wyatt, since you’re so good at guessing, can you guess why I called you here?"
Kaiser Myers turned to Wyatt and asked with a smile.
"Surely, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief didn’t summon me here to hold me accountable."
Wyatt replied confidently with a smile.
"Haha... interesting."
Kaiser Myers laughed, then turned to Sami Thorn, "Commander-in-Chief, what do you think?"
"Impressive."
Sami Thorn nodded in satisfaction.
"Huh?"
Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, feeling as if he had been sold out.
As expected, Kaiser Myers turned to Wyatt Barnes again, speaking slowly: "Wyatt Barnes, you killed Joseph Davies. Many people witnessed it was him who made the first move. His death was his own doing."
"Shouldn’t there be more to the Vice Commander’s speech?"
Wyatt Barnes chuckled.
"You really are a sharp one. You killed Joseph Davies. We the Iron Blood Army won’t hold it against you. However, Joseph Davies is after all a member of the Davies Clan in County City. The Davies Clan might not be considered large, but it’s not small either... If you’re willing to stay in our Iron Blood Army and serve under our Commander, he can not only protect you and your family from persecution by the Davies Clan but can also groom you to be the next commander of the Iron Blood Army, leading ten thousand elite soldiers."
Kaiser Myers looked at Wyatt Barnes with an assured expression.
On the other hand, Sami Thorn became increasingly surprised when he noticed Wyatt Barnes’s expression was unchanged.
"Vice Commander,"
Wyatt Barnes smiled at Kaiser Myers, "Firstly, I thank you and the Commander for your high regard. Secondly, I pay no mind to the Davies Clan. Finally, I would like to say... my ambition does not lie with the Iron Blood Army, nor does it lie with the Kingdom of Crimson Heaven!"
Kaiser Myers was stunned, then frowned, "Wyatt Barnes, you must not underestimate the Davies Clan. They are one of the prominent families in County City of Swallow Mountain. Their methods are far beyond what you can imagine."
Wyatt Barnes slowly shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, Vice Commander. However, my mind is set!"
"A man should have ambitions... I believe you will find a stage truly befitting of you."
At that moment, Sami Thorn spoke up, seemingly unaffected by Wyatt Barnes’s refusal to stay in the Iron Blood Army.
"Thank you, Commander!"
Wyatt Barnes quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Alright, go back and rest well tonight. Tomorrow, the Vice Commander will announce the upcoming training schedule for Genius Camp. Your real training is about to begin!"
Sami Thorn waved his hand.
"Commander, Vice Commander, I’ll take my leave."
Wyatt Barnes left directly.
Back in the tent.
Kaiser Myers looked at Teng Yun Sea, his face full of confusion, "Commander, I did a background check on this Wyatt Barnes. He comes from a decent background. With his skills and talents, he is absolutely the best candidate for the next commander of the Iron Blood Army... Are you really just going to let him go?"
"Qing Shan, do you think, with his response just now, that no matter how much we try to persuade him, he would stay?"
Sami Thorn asked.
Kaiser Myers remained silent.
Wyatt Barnes’s attitude was clear, he was reluctant to stay in the Iron Blood Army.
"Even if he is not in our Iron Blood Army, even if he really does get the ’Saint Martial Academy’ Enrollment Qualification, I’m afraid he will be killed by people from the Davies Clan before he even enters the Saint Martial Academy... I truly can’t bear to see such a rare talent fall."
Kaiser Myers sighed, his words sincere.
"Didn’t he just say that he didn’t care about the Davies Clan?"
Sami Thorn shook his head.
"Commander, you can’t tell me that you didn’t see through his evasive talk... Are you saying, Commander, that you actually believe his bravado?"
Kaiser Myers was flabbergasted.
Sami Thorn smiled faintly, "I can tell, he was confident. A person can lie with his mouth, but his eyes will never lie... When the Davies Clan was mentioned, the disdain in his eyes told me that he was truly confident, not just spouting nonsense."
"Commander, how is that possible... I’ve already investigated his background thoroughly. He is a member of the Lee Family from Aurora City, specifically from the branch family, the ’Clear Wind Town Lee Family’."
Kaiser Myers still couldn’t believe it.
"Then do you know who his father is?"
Sami Thorn’s eyes narrowed as he asked.
"His father? I didn’t find that out... Could it be that his father is not an ordinary person?"
Kaiser Myers finally started to catch on.
"I had a friend, who looked very similar to Wyatt. If I remember correctly, that friend married a woman from a small family in a remote area... That woman, also had the last name of ’Lee’."
Sami Thorn slowly said.
"Who is it?"
Kaiser Myers was curious. He had been following the Commander for quite some time and he should know most of his friends.
"Do you remember, fifteen years ago, that person who mysteriously disappeared from the Duan Family in the Imperial City"
Sami Thorn’s eyes flashed.
"Commander, you’re saying... Lanni Barnes."
Kaiser Myers’s eyes sharpened, and a sincere reverence emerged.
Lanni Barnes, a peerless genius who once made a name for himself throughout the Kingdom of Crimson Heaven...
A person to whom they had to look up to.
After leaving the tent of Vice Commander ’Kaiser Myers’, Wyatt Barnes didn’t linger outside and went straight back to his own tent.
"Wyatt Barnes, what did the Vice Commander want from you?"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes return, Westyn Morgan curiously asked .
"Nothing much, he just told me that our Genius Camp’s upcoming training is officially starting tomorrow."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head and spoke slowly.
"What?!"
Westyn Morgan was startled.
"Shh... Keep your voice down."
Mustafa Rowan whispered from the side.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also noticed Remi Sinclair, who was still practicing on his bed. "What’s gotten into Remi Sinclair to be cultivating during broad daylight?"
"He must have been provoked by Simon Davies."
Westyn Morgan shook his head and sighed, "In Aurora City, Remi Sinclair was a figure that his peers had to look up to. Being humiliated by Simon Davies of his age, it’s natural that he couldn’t take it... It’s not surprising that he’s putting extra effort to improve himself."
"Westyn, I find you really talkative."
Suddenly, Remi Sinclair opened his eyes. His stern gaze fell on Westyn Morgan.
"I didn’t say anything, I didn’t say anything..."
Westyn Morgan awkwardly waved his hand, looking like a child caught stealing a candy.
