Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 133: The Woman in Red

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: The Woman in Red

The carriage was shrouded in an eerie silence.

Jovie and Keer said nothing, sensing the somber mood.

Christina’s eyes were rimmed with red. She could sense the resentment in her son’s voice. After a long pause, she let out a sigh. she said softly, "Alright, Wyatt, if you don’t wish to go, then we won’t."

"Mother, please do not be upset."

Witnessing his mother’s sorrow, Wyatt was filled with compassion. He took a seat and gently grasped Christina’s hand. "I understand your intentions were for Father, hence your desire for me to return to our clan. But have you forgotten why you left the Barnes Family in the first place? When Father was still with us, everyone treated you with respect. But after his disappearance, those green-eyed monsters turned against you! I’m convinced that even if Father were alive, he wouldn’t blame us."

Christina nodded, a smile appearing on her face. "Wyatt, you’ve grown up; it’s a relief. For the rest of my life, I want nothing more than to see you, Jovie, and Keer have a family of your own. Nothing could satisfy me more."

A shiver ran through Wyatt.

The weight of his mother’s love was immense, causing a lump to form in his throat, his eyes prickling with unshed tears

"Mother, you should rest a bit."

After taking a deep breath, Wyatt returned to Jovie and Keer’s side, letting out a sigh.

He would go to the Barnes Family, but not to acknowledge his roots...

But to eliminate that ’Avery Barnes’!

Before lengthy, their carriage arrived at the foot of the Imperial City.

The giant carriage drawn by three top-notch horses naturally attracted attention wherever it passed.

The Imperial City, vast and expansive, stood there like a giant dormant beast, giving off a slightly oppressive vibe.

A broad moat surrounded the Imperial city with just a single stone bridge leading to the city gates, the city’s only entrance...

There was only one way in and out of the Imperial City.

As the carriage traversed the bridge, they could vaguely make out ferocious fish-like Fierce Beasts occasionally leaping out of the moat, baring their hideous fangs.

The sheer number of these Fierce Beasts was enough to make one’s skin crawl.

It was clear that even a warrior of the Original Infant Realm would struggle to survive if they fell into the moat.

The colossal city gate, the only entry to the Imperial City, was made of pure steel and rose several dozen meters high. On either side of the gate stood soldiers draped in armor and wielding sharp spears, standing as solidly as a mountain.

When Wyatt’s carriage passed by, the crowd stepped back - even the soldiers guarding the city gates dared not approach.

A carriage drawn by three top-notch horses was a rare sight, even in the Imperial City.

Only the rich and noble could afford such a luxury.

Upon entering the Imperial City, Wyatt, Jovie, and Keer looked through the carriage window, examining the city in detail.

Pleasant inns and taverns lined the broad streets, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Compared to the Imperial City, Aurora City seems like a humble little town," Jovie sighed in awe.

Wyatt couldn’t have agreed more.

Aurora City couldn’t hold a candle to the Imperial City

"Master, the Imperial City of the Crimson Heaven kingdom is divided into two areas - the inner city and the outer city... we’re now in the outer city."

Fill Bear’s voice broke his thoughts.

"Outer city?"

Wyatt was surprised if such a bustling place was only the outer city, then what was the inner city like?

"Master, look, the inner city is up ahead."

After about half an hour of travelling, Fill Bear’s voice resounded again.

Looking ahead, Wyatt saw another city within the city at the end of the road...

This inner city didn’t look much different from the outer city.

If there were any difference, it was that the area of the inner city was much smaller.

Be it the moat, the cylindrical city walls, or the lone stone bridge, everything resembled the outer city.

However, the gates of the inner city were closed, and the bridge was deserted.

"The inner city gates are closed."

Wyatt raised an eyebrow.

"There must be a time restriction."

Fill Bear suggested.

"Fill Bear, you seem to know a lot about the Imperial City. Have you been here before?"

Wyatt asked, noticing Fill Bear’s familiarity with the city from his introductions.

"Yes, a long time ago."

Fill Bear let out nostalgic sigh.

In the past, he had come here, serving as a Protector of the Endless Sect, leading his disciples on a mission.

Reflecting on it now, it seemed like a distant memory...

"Let’s find an inn in the outer city to stay for now."

Wyatt commanded.

"Yes."

Fill Bear obediently obliged and they checked into a rather lavish inn.

The inn manager personally greeted them, the sight of the carriage drawn by three top-notch horses made him tremble, fearful of offending the distinguished guests.

"Mother, let’s go eat."

Wyatt spoke softly from outside Christina’s room.

"I’m not hungry, so I’d like to rest. You all go ahead... and take Fill Bear with you. The Imperial City is full of powerful beings, so remember not to stir any trouble."

Christina’s voice echoed from within her room, her words filled with concern for Wyatt.

Excusing himself, Wyatt led Jovie and Keer out of the inn.

Fill Bear followed just behind them.

Wyatt found a local tavern nearby that seemed decent, and they went in.

The tavern, a three-story building surrounded by an expanse of beautiful foliage, looked quite comfortable.

At this point in time, it’s mealtime and the first floor of the lobby is already packed to the brim, bustling with activity, lively and bustling.

Wyatt ascended the stairs and stepped onto the second floor.

Compared to the noise on the first floor, the second floor was much quieter. Although there were many people talking, they all deliberately kept their voices down and paid great attention to their appearances.

"Customer, please, this way."

Soon, a female attendant invited Wyatt and his party, leading them to a table near the street.

"I’ll have one of each of your signature dishes, along with a pot of good wine."

Wyatt ordered.

"Yes," the female attendant respectfully nodded and turned to leave.

Shortly afterwards, delicious food and wine were arranged on the table...

"This restaurant is rather special," Jovie Lee said with a smile. Sitting on the second floor, one could barely hear the noise from the main lobby, everything was quiet and harmonious.

The conversations of some of the customers on the second floor could be heard but they were subdued. If one didn’t deliberately listen, they could be easily ignored...

Around them, a small portion of the customers was discussing private affairs, while most were discussing the ’Holy Martial Arts Academy.’

"I don’t know if this year’s ’Holy Martial Arts Academy’ will have any brilliant students like Qadir Adams," one started.

"What a joke. Qadir Adams is an unparalleled genius warrior. In the history of our Crimson Heaven kingdom’s ’Holy Martial Arts Academy,’ only one person about twenty years ago could be mentioned in the same breath as him."

"Who was it?"

"It was none other than Lanni Barnes from the Barnes family!"

"Who is Lanni Barnes?"

"You don’t know about Lanni Barnes? He was an unparalleled genius of our Crimson Heaven kingdom more than twenty years ago, and also an heir of the Barnes family."

"I have never heard anyone mention him before."

"That’s normal. He disappeared about fifteen years ago... If he hadn’t disappeared, the strongest person in our Crimson Heaven kingdom may not necessarily be that member of the Imperial Family."

"Shh! Speak softly. Are you seeking death? Is the member of the Imperial Family someone you can casually discuss?"

...

Hearing the discussion from a table not far away, Wyatt’s eyes narrowed.

Lanni Barnes was his father in this life.

"I didn’t expect people to still remember my cheap old man," Wyatt was somewhat taken aback, momentarily surprised.

"Hmph! Lanni Barnes was nothing but a short-lived ghost!" At this moment, a cold voice came from the staircase.

A young woman of about nineteen years of age in a red dress made her way up the stairs, followed by an elderly woman.

The elderly woman leaned on a walking stick, but her eyes glowed like stars, showing she was not lacking in abilities.

"Young girl, you’re too arrogant! If Lanni Barnes was here, would you dare speak like this?" The middle-aged man who had been praising Lanni earlier now looked displeased.

"Slap your face!" The young lady in red spoke coldly, not specifying to whom she was speaking.

In a flash, the old woman behind her moved as though turned into a gust of wind, heading straight for the middle-aged man.

Over the old woman’s head, several dozen phantom mammoths appeared and disappeared in a flash.

Smack!

With a crisp sound, the old woman returned to the young lady’s side. The middle-aged man’s cheek was swollen, he was looking very unhappy but dared not speak up.

It was clear that the old woman was significantly stronger than he.

For a moment, the entire second floor was silent.

"How domineering," Wyatt’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Although he didn’t have much affection for his cheap old father, the man was still his father, and now hearing him being insulted, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

"How ridiculous! A short-lived ghost is worthy of your adulation?" The young woman in red levelled a cold gaze at the other participants in the earlier discussion, causing them to quickly lower their heads, not daring to say another word.

"Hmph! Nowadays, people aren’t even allowed to tell the truth... If Lanni Barnes was alive, would you dare to insult him?" Jovie Lee clearly disapproved of the red-clad woman’s behavior and snorted coldly.

The red-clothed woman’s eyes fell on Jovie, mocking her, "A freak like you hiding behind a veil is fit to talk to me? I’m giving you a chance, slap yourself thirty times... or face the consequences!"

"Monster?"

Jovie Lee was taken aback and then sneered: "You really think highly of yourself. With your attitude, even if you were given away to a beggar, the beggar might not dare to marry you."

Wyatt couldn’t help but laugh.

That girl, she didn’t go easy on anyone...

"You’re seeking death!" The woman in red saw a glint of cold in her eyes and with a flick of her hand, a powerful gust of wind swept out. A whip as black as a venomous snake created a series of whip shadows, filled with an Origin Force, shot straight for Jovie. Her attack was brutal and ruthless.

Above her head, six phantom mammoths appeared.

Condensed Pill Realm Four!

Just when most people thought Jovie was going to take a beating, Wyatt sprung into action.

Whoosh!

When Jovie was about to react, with her eyes glinting coldly, Wyatt held her and dodged the woman’s attack.

Ice-cold eyes landed on the woman in red, "So only you’re allowed to mock others, but others can’t mock you? Can’t argue so you lose your temper and resort to violence... don’t you think you’re being unreasonable?"
