Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384: Beast Tamer, Isaias Hayden!
"Human traffickers?"
Wyatt Barnes was taken aback.
With his keen ears, he heard voices coming from the street ahead, growing closer, accompanied by a flurry of footsteps.
"My lord! It’s him! He’s the one who abducted my niece!"
And, at this moment, Wyatt Barnes also heard a hoarse voice from behind, an unpleasant voice that sounded like a duck ceaselessly quacking.
"You... are with them?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the little girl and asked with a gentle smile.
By now, he had realized he found himself in the so-called ’immortal’s scam’... However, he wasn’t concerned in the slightest; instead, he focused intently on the little girl.
"They... they hit me... if I don’t listen to them, they hit me..."
The little girl, gazing into Wyatt Barnes’ pure eyes, let her big watery eyes brim with tears. At the same time, she lifted her tattered clothes, revealing her small arm as delicate as a lotus root.
It was covered with dark bruises.
With a single glance, the smile on Wyatt Barnes’ face froze, and fury blazed in his eyes as if they could shoot fire.
"Who are they to you?"
Nevertheless, Wyatt Barnes still suppressed his rage, trying to ask as softly as possible, for fear of frightening the little girl.
Now he was almost certain that this was an innocent child.
The little girl was only five or six years old, what could she understand?
"They... they took me away... Mommy is gone... Daddy is gone... Grandpa is gone..."
The little girl sobbed, tears soaking her dirty little face, making her look like a tiny tear-streaked kitten.
Now, Wyatt Barnes was almost sure of it.
The little girl had been deceived and abducted.
Those beasts were using her to play the ’immortal’s scam’ trick.
"My lord, it’s him! Look, my daughter has been cried out by him."
"My lord, even if he turned to ashes I would recognize him... it’s him who abducted my niece, my niece who’s only six years old this year. If she was taken away by him, how are my brother and sister-in-law supposed to live?"
The two voices, one after the other, arrived where Wyatt Barnes stood.
At this time, Wyatt Barnes noticed that the little girl, like a frightened bird, once again clung tightly to his leg, her body shivering.
It was unimaginable.
How much suffering a little girl had endured, to be terrified of their voices to such an extent.
"With your brother here, no one can bully you again."
Wyatt Barnes picked up the little girl and held her in his arms, simultaneously scrutinizing the people blocking his way in front and behind.
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in blue clothing, and beside him stood a member of the Hill Mountain City City Guard.
Behind him, apart from an ugly and short-statured middle-aged man, there was also a member of the Hill Mountain City City Guard.
"Kid, dare to abduct my daughter... with City Guard officials here, I want to see how you’ll die!"
The middle-aged man in blue glared with his unattractive triangular eyes and shouted at Wyatt Barnes.
"My lord, you must seek justice for us... my brother and sister-in-law only have this one child."
The ugly and short-statured middle-aged man said to the City Guard of Hill Mountain City beside him.
"It’s already late at night... and it’s not convenient to disturb our brothers guarding the jail, so you two see if you can settle this privately with him. If he is unwilling, then we’ll lock him up in jail."
One of the Hill Mountain City City Guards said.
"Human trafficker, you’re lucky! If it weren’t for not wanting to trouble the brothers guarding the jail, you’d be sitting in a cell until you rot!"
The other Hill Mountain City City Guard snorted.
"Brother... they are fakes... they are in this together... all bad people, they are all bad people."
The little girl, resting on Wyatt Barnes’ shoulder, whispered to him with a shaking voice.
Actually, from the moment the first person disguised as a Hill Mountain City City Guard opened his mouth, Wyatt Barnes knew he was an imposter.
Although he hasn’t been in Hill Mountain City for long, he had heard about the strict military discipline in the city; such scum could not possibly exist here.
"You filthy little wretch, you don’t want to live anymore!"
The little girl’s voice was not loud, but in the quiet street, it was particularly clear. The four people surrounding Wyatt Barnes heard it too, and their expressions changed.
When playing the ’immortal’s scam,’ they usually aimed to extort some Holy Stones; they rarely killed unless necessary.
Because this is Hill Mountain City!
If they were to kill someone, they could no longer stay here... the Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City would see them as defiling the city’s dignity and would hunt them down relentlessly.
However, now that the little girl had exposed them, they no longer cared about that, one after another drawing their weapons, four lower-grade saint weapons of the human rank.
"Since when do little thieves, who haven’t even stepped into the Transcending Mortal Realm, dare kill in Hill Mountain City?"
Wyatt Barnes’ sharp eyes swept over the four, taunting them.
As soon as the four had appeared, he had used ’Heavenly Eye’ to probe their cultivation levels; all of them were only at the Xiantian Fanxu Mirror level.
At the same time, Wyatt Barnes’ purple clothing fluttered, and the aura of a strong practitioner of the Transcending Mortal Realm swept forth.
"Tran... Transcending Mortal Realm practitioner!"
Suddenly, the four of them changed their complexion, realizing they had kicked an iron plate.
"Speak! Where did you abduct her from?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the four, his eyes sharp as ever, as if they could pierce through anything.
The four seemed to realize that they had no chance of escaping from Wyatt Barnes and knelt down together, begging for mercy.
"My lord, spare our lives! We bought her from someone else, we don’t know where she comes from."
"My lord, spare us!"
"Spare me, by your honor!"
...
Four people knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling incessantly, continuously begging for mercy.
"Bought from someone else? Where is that person?"
Wyatt Barnes asked.
"We don’t know him... He was just passing through Hill Mountain City, we don’t know where he came from or where he went."
The middle-aged man with triangular eyes said with a trembling voice.
"What’s your name?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the little girl in his arms and asked softly.
"Maya."
Perhaps because she saw Wyatt Barnes subdue the four men, the little girl was no longer afraid; her eyes, bright and full of life, admired Wyatt Barnes.
"Brother, you’re so amazing... Can Maya learn skills from you?"
"If Maya learns skills, then she will no longer be afraid of bad people... and they won’t dare to hit Maya."
The little girl ’Maya’ said with a face full of earnest.
Wyatt Barnes sharply noticed that as the little girl spoke those words towards the end, the four kneeling figures on the ground had an almost imperceptible tremor in their bodies.
Wyatt Barnes lifted the ragged clothes on the little girl, revealing her arms and legs marred with fresh, dark red bruises.
"Maya, tell brother... do they hit you often?"
Wyatt Barnes asked gently, struggling to suppress the fury in his heart.
"Little Miss, please have mercy!"
"Little Miss, please have mercy!"
...
At this moment, the four people kneeling on the ground panicked, thoroughly panicked.
They were all sly and cunning, able to sense the implied killing intent in Wyatt Barnes’s tone.
The little girl nodded her head, "When Maya doesn’t obey them, when Maya doesn’t want to deceive people... they hit Maya... they make Maya deceive people... Maya isn’t a bad child, Maya doesn’t want to deceive."
"Brother knows, Maya is a good child... Maya, let’s play a game. No matter what sound you might hear later, if brother tells you not to open your eyes, you must keep them shut, okay?"
Wyatt Barnes smiled and looked at the little girl.
"Okay."
The little girl obediently nodded her head and closed her eyes.
Almost the very moment the little girl closed her eyes, the repressed rage within Wyatt Barnes exploded forth...
All that could be seen was his foot lifting up, his True Energy going wild, sweeping across the four scum who were kneeling on the ground.
With just one kick, the four scum did not even have the chance to beg for mercy before their bodies burst open, their blood staining the path.
"Roar!!"
"Roar!!"
...
Not long after the four scum were killed by Wyatt Barnes, a beastly roar approached from the front of the street, entering the roadway in a blink of an eye.
"Who is it?! Daring to commit murder in Hill Mountain City!"
Soon enough, a young man wearing armor and riding a Savage Beast arrived close in front of Wyatt Barnes in a majestic manner.
Behind him, eight people in armor closely followed.
With just a glance, Wyatt Barnes recognized that these people were the City Guard of Hill Mountain City.
"I’ve heard that among the City Guard of Hill Mountain City, five captains are ’beast tamers’... But I wonder, which one are you?"
Wyatt Barnes asked the young man standing on the Savage Beast.
"Isaias Hayden!"
The young man on the back of the Savage Beast stared at Wyatt Barnes and asked coldly, "And who might you be? Why kill people in Hill Mountain City? Do you not know the rules of Hill Mountain City?"
"Captain, four people are dead... Among them, two wore the armor of our City Guard soldiers. After verification, they were all forged."
Very quickly, a City Guard soldier finished inspecting the scene and reported back to Isaias Hayden.
"Forging City Guard soldier armor is punishable by death!"
Isaias Hayden’s gaze was cold as he looked at Wyatt Barnes, "As for the other two, I need an explanation."
"Captain Hayden... the Savage Beast you’ve tamed, is it the ’Blood-eyed Jackal’?"
Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell on the all-black Savage Beast with crimson eyes beneath Isaias Hayden’s feet, which bore a striking resemblance to a jackal.
"It’s rumored that the Blood-eyed Jackal has a unique sense for the smell of blood and can respond instantly even from a great distance... Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."
Just as Isaias Hayden’s expression turned stern, showing some impatience.
Wyatt Barnes took out the token given to him by Guardian Harvey and casually tossed it to Isaias Hayden, saying, "One of our own."
Isaias Hayden caught the token and upon a closer look, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Dragonhide Battalion!"
Dragonhide Battalion!
Following Isaias Hayden’s exclamation, the eight City Guard soldiers looked at Wyatt Barnes with fervor in their eyes.
In Hill Mountain City, the ’Dragonhide Battalion’ was known by everyone.
Everyone knew that even the least among the ranks of the Dragonhide Battalion were ’big shots’ to them.
"Although you are a member of the Dragonhide Battalion, killing is prohibited in Hill Mountain City, as explicitly ordered by the City Lord himself... For the four you killed, two deserved death for forging City Guard armor. However, for the other two, please give me an explanation."
After returning the token to Wyatt Barnes, Isaias Hayden’s expression softened somewhat.
