Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 136: Recruiting Valentina

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Recruiting Valentina

Wyatt Barnes was still surprised he had met Avery Barnes’ cousin here.

However, before he was given a chance to talk, the other man’s derogatory remarks made him angry.

"Moron!"

A slight smirk appeared on Wyatt Barnes’ lips as he slowly enunciated the insult.

Honor Barnes was flabbergasted.

This purple-robed youngster had just called him a ’moron’?

Mistaking himself, Honor asked a bit uncertainly, "What did you just say?"

Wyatt Barnes paid no further attention to this dandy. Even though he was Avery Barnes’s cousin, he had nothing to do with him. Wyatt had a grudge against Avery, but he wouldn’t implicate his relatives for no reason.

Once a mercenary, always used to bloodshed...

He held one principle close to his heart.

Family should remain untouched by conflict!

This unwavering belief garnered him genuine respect from even his most bitter enemies.

Of course, if Honor Barnes insisted on causing trouble, Wyatt was not someone who would shy away from a confrontation...

"What are the price ranges for these houses?"

Wyatt lightly smiled at the maidservant next to him as he posed the question.

The maidservant regathered her wits. Wyatt’s smile was like a warm breeze that stirred her heart, causing her to temporarily forget the unpleasantness that just occurred. She earnestly began to explain, "Sir, this mansion includes main and auxiliary buildings, with a total of twenty bedrooms, two kitchens, a large hall, a front yard, and a backyard. All of our mansions come with brand new furniture and daily necessities. Altogether, it costs eight million USD."

Eight million USD?

Looking at the house pointed out by the maidservant, Wyatt Barnes could not help but click his tongue in awe.

Honor Barnes, standing aside, turned red with anger.

Never before had he been so blatantly ignored. Watching the purple-robed youngster chatting and laughing with the beautiful maidservant stirred fire inside him.

"Boy, didn’t you hear what I just said? I am taking this maidservant!" Honor spat out coldly, his voice reeked of undisputed authority.

"A guest."

The maidservant’s face turned pale with fear as she was startled by Honor’s roar. Worryingly, she turned to Wyatt Barnes.

"In this world, barking dogs can be found everywhere. You’ll get used to it. Continue."

Wyatt Barnes’ calm expression was one of total indifference. As he stated, he couldn’t obliterate every mad dog in this world.

As long as they didn’t bite him, he would let them bark. Ignoring them was the best way.

Seeing Wyatt show such composure, the maidservant let out a sigh of relief.

She quickly realized that this young man, even after hearing about Honor’s status, was not afraid of him.

Did he just call him a barking dog?

A vein pulsated angrily on Honor’s forehead. Shouting furiously, he roared, "Boy, you’re asking for death!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Honor dashed towards Wyatt Barnes.

Above his head, the phantoms of seven ancient giant elephants gradually formed...

Condensed Pill Realm Fifth-Order!

"Watch out, sir!"

The maidservant’s expression turned fearful, unexpected that this dandy actually had such profound cultivation. She instinctively blocked Wyatt, closing her eyes in fright, her petite body trembling.

"You’re the one asking for death!"

A cold voice echoed from Wyatt Barnes, sounding as if it could have come from the depths of hell.

A Serpent’s Grace!

Moving swiftly, Wyatt turned into a fluid streak, gliding over the maidservant’s body and positioning himself in front of her.

Just in the nick of time, Wyatt flung both his fists out, countering the attack from Honor.

The Dragon’s Touch!

Amidst the overwhelming cascades of energy attacks, Wyatt lands a finger on Honor’s palm attack.

Whoosh!

In an instant, above Wyatt’s head, the phantoms of eight ancient great elephants gradually coalesce...

With this single touch, Wyatt summoned the power of nearly nine ancient great elephants!

"Condensed Pill Realm Sixth-Order!"

The old man who was following Honor Barnes had been quietly standing by the sides, appearing calm. He made no move even when Honor attacked.

However, now that he saw the opponent displaying strength better than Honor, his face darkened and he instantly swooped in the direction of Wyatt, bellowing, "Stop!"

Sixty ancient elephant forces formed over the old man’s head...

Original Pill Realm Fourth-Order!

"Humph!"

A cold snort, like a thunderbolt, echoed throughout the hall.

A massive figure, as solid as a mountain, blocked the path of the old man in an instant. Casually throwing a punch, it seemed as though he disdained even using martial arts. The blow landed on the old man’s chest, sending him flying.

As the old man came quickly, he left even faster!

"Original Pill Realm Seventh-Order!"

As the old man was sent flying, he caught a glimpse of the fleeting illusion of a hundred ancient elephants over the head of his attacker.

And almost at the same time...

Chhh!

Wyatt Barnes countered Honor Barnes’ fierce palm strike with just a fingertip.

In an instant, the strength of one finger was as heavy as a thousand catties!

"Ah!"

Accompanied by the strange sound of cracking bones, Honor Barnes screamed, his figure paused, and followed the elder’s suit, flying backward with just a touch of Wyatt Barnes’ finger.

Boom! Boom!

As the elder’s body just fell to the ground, Honor Barnes’ body also fell accordingly, landing right beside the elder.

The extreme pain from his palm made Honor Barnes let out another terrible scream, "Eight...Elder Eight...I...my wrist...is...is shattered!"

The elder vomited a mouthful of blood, looked fearfully at the stalwart middle-aged man standing there, slowly got up, helped Honor Barnes to leave the shop, and headed towards the ’Barnes Family Residence’ where the Barnes family was located.

"This..."

The housemaid had already opened her eyes, but the predicted palm strike did not land on her. She saw only the departing figure of the prodigal son and the elder by his side.

"Who on earth is he?"

Then, her gaze fell on the boy in the purple robe, her eyes filled with curiosity and incredulity.

Everything that just happened only occurred in the blink of an eye. By the time she came back to her senses, it was all over.

But she could still remember that even though she had rushed in front of the boy in the purple robe, he had somehow moved in front of her...

"Why?"

Suddenly, a slightly immature voice entered her ears.

She was startled awake, filled with anxiety, "Gues...Guest."

"Why did you block for me just now? Aren’t you afraid of death?"

Wyatt Barnes asked the housemaid in front of him with a smile.

"I don’t know...I just felt that I couldn’t let the customer get hurt, so I acted on instinct..."

As the housemaid recalled everything that just happened, she couldn’t describe her feelings. Even she herself had no idea why she acted as she did. Looking back now, she felt a wave of fear.

"What’s your name?"

Wyatt asked with a smile still on his face.

"Guest, my name is ’Valentina.’

The handmaid replied respectfully.

Wyatt gave a slight nod, his eyes falling again on the model of the mansion that Valentina had introduced earlier, "I quite like this kind of residence...is there one near the ’Tathāgata Martial Arts Academy’?"

Tathāgata Martial Arts Academy!

Valentina shuddered, incredulity flashed in her eyes, "Gues...Guest, are you...are you a student of the Tathāgata Martial Arts Academy?"

"Sort of, I’ve secured a spot, but I haven’t yet enrolled."

Wyatt shook his head.

Valentina was shocked, she hadn’t expected that the boy standing in front of her would be a student from the prestigious Tathāgata Martial Arts Academy!

Becoming a student of the Tathāgata Martial Arts Academy required either a recommendation from the powerful families of the Imperial Family or the Imperial City, or demonstrating exceptional talent and overcoming countless obstacles to obtain the ’admission qualification’

The boy in front of her looked to be about eighteen years old...

No matter how he obtained his ’admission qualification’, it was enough to impress and even admire her!

Taking a deep breath, Valentina slowly said: "Guest, you’re in luck. There’s a mansion just like this near the Tathāgata Martial Arts Academy."

Wyatt nodded, "Then I’ll take that one. How do I go about the formalities?"

With Valentina’s help, Wyatt spent eight million USD to buy the mansion that Valentina introduced...

Wyatt took out a ten million USD bank check, counted out eight million, and threw it on the counter.

The entire action was smooth as flowing water.

The manager behind the counter was frightened by Wyatt’s extravagant spending. He respectfully handed the deed and keys to Wyatt.

"Valentina, could you show me around the place?"

Wyatt looked at Valentina and asked with a smile.

Valentina hesitated and glanced at the manager.

"Go ahead."

The manager nodded. Although the guest was young, his generosity clearly had roots in an illustrious background, and he wasn’t ready to offend so casually.

Under Valentina’s guidance, Wyatt arrived at the mansion he had just purchased.

The situation of the mansion was roughly the same as the model he had seen before, fully furnished with daily necessities, which saved him a lot of trouble...

"Guest, is there anything else to ask?"

After making a round of the mansion with Wyatt, Valentina asked respectfully.

"Valentina."

Wyatt looked at Valentina, smiling slightly, "Would you be interested in being my housekeeper here?"

"Huh?"

Valentina was taken aback, somewhat unable to react.

Wyatt continued: "I’m worried that Honor Barnes might cause you trouble after today’s incident...Although you belong to the Imperial family, he wouldn’t dare trouble you openly. But for such a despicable person like him, he can do anything behind the scenes!"

"If you were to become my housekeeper, you would mainly be in charge of in-and-out daily affairs, and the routine management of the mansion, no other tasks, definitely much easier compared to your previous job. In addition, I can pay you double."

When Wyatt bought the mansion, he already had a plan in mind.

He would need a housekeeper.

And a few maid servants and a chef.

Letting his mother and his two future daughters-in-law concentrate on cultivating their martial arts...

"Please take some time to think about it. You can come and find me anytime within three days."

Seeing Valentina’s indecision, Wyatt didn’t pressure her.
