Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 158: The Duan Family

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Duan Family

Sacred Martial Dao Academy, dining hall.

Wyatt Barnes and a few others sat together.

Wyatt was eating heartily, as if what had happened just now didn’t affect him at all.

However, if you look at Remi Sinclair, Seeker Sinclair, and Tiggi Field, they could hardly swallow their food.

The gruesome scene from earlier was deeply imprinted in their minds, hard to dispel for a long time.

Only Walter Simmons, like Wyatt, showed no signs of being impacted.

"Wyatt Barnes, you hid it so well! Condensed Pill Realm Ninth Level, seventh-grade spiritual weapon... Had it not been for your ’life and death battle’ with Avery Barnes, we would have been kept in the dark by you."

Tiggi Field shook his head and smiled reluctantly.

In front of Wyatt, his martial dao talent, which he had always been proud of in his family, was utterly worthless.

But he also knew that he couldn’t compare himself to this ’freak’; otherwise, he could only be setting himself up for disappointment.

"That’s right, you deceived me too all this time..."

Remi’s eyes shone with surprise, and a mixture of emotions. He had thought that he would gradually distance himself from Wyatt, that he could always see Wyatt’s ’back’ on the martial dao road.

Little did he know, Wyatt’s true strength had already left him far behind, unreachable!

"What surprised me the most was your identity. You turned out to be Lanni Barnes’s son, a direct descendant of the Barnes Family."

Seeker Sinclair looked at Wyatt with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"It’s true that I am Lanni Barnes’s son... but I have nothing to do with the Barnes Family!"

Wyatt spoke calmly, his disdain for the Barnes Family was evident, and he refused to admit that he was one of them.

Seeker Sinclair was startled, looking deeply at Wyatt. He didn’t press the matter further.

He could tell that Wyatt did not have any fondness for the ’Barnes Family’.

While Wyatt enjoyed his meal, Honor Barnes had brought Avery’s corpse back to the Barnes Family’s mansion.

In the spacious courtyard, Avery lay there, his blood dried on his body.

"Diego!"

With shaking grounds, a heavyset woman rushed to Avery’s side, weeping bitterly. Her small, red eyes refused to believe this was real.

"My son!"

Outside the courtyard, a figure moved like thunder, his voice resounding like an explosion.

This middle-aged man, who held significant authority and dominance, was now standing next to his son’s body, his revenge-filled eyes turning red.

"No matter who it was who killed my son, I will make sure they shall be crushed!"

The voice of Thundery Barnes was full of menace.

"Second Brother, I heard that Avery, he..."

Another figure rushed into the courtyard and, looking at the body on the ground, appeared stunned.

This was Swany Barnes, the fourth master of the Barnes Family.

Shortly after, three elderly figures, led by a middle-aged man in a gold-lined white robe, slowly entered the courtyard.

This middle-aged man had a determined face and an extraordinary demeanor, which suggested a commanding presence. His identity was obvious...

He was the current Clan Chief of the Barnes Family, Firey Barnes!

"Second Brother, Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences."

Firey Barnes looked at Thundery Barnes and his wife and sighed.

"Second Brother, what happened?"

Swany Barnes asked, his face heavy, his voice suppressed with considerable anger...

"I just returned."

Thundery Barnes glanced at the heavyset woman beside him, and her tear-soaked red eyes lingered on Honor Barnes, who was standing aside. "It was Honor who brought back Diego. Honor, who killed your cousin‽"

By the time the heavyset woman finished speaking, her voice was shaking, and her eyes revealed a ruthless color.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze in the courtyard fell on Honor Barnes.

Honor Barnes became the center of attention. His body shuddered, his eyes were red, and he said sternly, "Aunt, it was Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt Barnes did it!"

Wyatt Barnes?

The heavyset woman was taken aback and couldn’t react for a moment.

"What did you say?"

Swany Barnes’s face changed, he looked at Honor Barnes, his eyes burning, "Which Wyatt?"

Wyatt Barnes, this name was not unfamiliar to him!

His third brother, ’Lanni Barnes’s’ son, was also named Wyatt Barnes. Over two years ago, he had seen him once when he passed through Clear Wind Town with Avery on a business trip.

"It’s Lanni Barnes’s son, Wyatt Barnes!"

Honor Barnes said through gritted teeth.

Wyatt Barnes, this name, it might take some time for the people here, except for Swany Barnes, to react.

But Lanni Barnes...

It immediately sobered up everyone present.

"Impossible!"

Swany Barnes said coldly, "More than two years ago, I saw Wyatt once. At that time, he was just a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm... It’s only been over two years, so how could he have the strength to kill Avery! And, he couldn’t possibly be in the Imperial City."

Swany Barnes clearly didn’t believe it.

"It’s true!"

Honor Barnes saw that the gazes of everyone present were beginning to fill with doubt. Hurriedly, he explained, "Wyatt Barnes should be about eighteen years old now, and he is currently at the Sacred Martial Dao Academy! Just now..."

Honor Barnes, with his red eyes and agitated face, slowly finished recounting the events.

Wyatt Barnes!

Eighteen years old!

Ninth level of the Condensed Pill Realm!

Seven-grade spirit weapon!

The words of Honor Barnes sent a tremor through the hearts of everyone present.

Even Swany Barnes’ pupils couldn’t help but shrink...

The youth who was still in the Body Tempering Realm two years ago now possesses the ninth level of the Condensed Pill Realm?

Now, after confirming that the murderer of Avery Barnes was ’Wyatt Barnes’, a sense of helplessness and bitterness rose in his heart.

Flesh grows on both sides of the palm...

"So it was that little beast!"

The voice of the plump woman sounded as if it came from the depths of hell, chilling to the bone.

"Life and Death Covenant? Why didn’t you dissuade Avery at that time?"

Clan Chief ’Firey Barnes’ had a solemn look in his eyes as he looked at Honor Barnes and asked in a deep voice.

Honor Barnes gave a bitter smile, "I did try to persuade him at the time, but my cousin Avery did not listen to me...Besides, I also didn’t know how strong Wyatt Barnes was!"

"He’s truly Lanni’s son!"

"Lanni’s son, only eighteen years old, has stepped into the ninth level of the Condensed Pill Realm... His talent far surpasses even that of Lanni in his prime!"

"Clan chief, since Avery was killed due to signing the ’Life and Death Covenant’, it’s his arrogance that should be blamed! Furthermore, Wyatt Barnes, as Lanni’s son, is a direct member of our Barnes family, and we should invite him back to recognize his ancestry!"

The three old men behind Firey Barnes, also elders of the Barnes Family, began to speak one after another.

There was a mixture of excitement in their eyes.

Since Avery Barnes had signed the ’Life and Death Covenant’, whether he died at Wyatt Barnes’ hands or anyone else’s, the Barnes Family had no reason to intervene...

Now, their thoughts were all on Wyatt Barnes, who killed Avery Barnes.

The natural talent Wyatt Barnes displayed in Martial Dao excited them.

Years ago, everyone in the Barnes Family thought that Lanni Barnes could become a real ’Void Realm powerhouse’, leading the Barnes family to prosperity and competing with the Imperial Family!

Unfortunately, later on, Lanni Barnes disappeared.

But now, years later, Swany Barnes’ son appeared, and his talent even surpasses Swany Barnes, giving them hope once again.

For them, for the Barnes Family...

Wyatt Barnes is ’hope’!

Even if Wyatt Barnes and Avery Barnes had signed the ’Life and Death Covenant’ before their fight, even if they hadn’t, if Wyatt Barnes had killed Avery Barnes for the future of the Barnes family, they wouldn’t blame Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes is worth more than a hundred Avery Barnes!

In this world where the strong are respected, this is a hard reality!

This is the ’cruelty’ of a large family...

If you can bring benefits to the family, you are a ’treasure’, otherwise, you are ’grass’!

"What do you mean, elders?"

Upon hearing the words of the three elders, the plump woman’s small eyes flashed and she said tragically, "Avery is a direct descendent of the Barnes Family. Even though he signed the ’Life and Death Covenant’ carelessly, that little beast shouldn’t have killed him! Avery was his clan brother. Such a ruthless beast should be allowed to die. If he enters the Barnes Family, God knows what kind of trouble he’ll cause!"

"If the family is unwilling to intervene in this matter, I ’Flora Cloud’ will handle it myself!"

As the plump woman spoke, her voice filled with bone-chilling coldness...

The faces of the three elders changed drastically.

A woman dared to refute them?

Even Firey Barnes, the clan chief of the Barnes Family, frowned unhappily and snapped, "Sister, you’re too presumptuous!"

At this moment, the thoughts in Firey Barnes’ heart were the same as those of the three elders.

He is the clan chief of the Barnes Family, he should think on behalf of the Barnes Family.

Slap!

Suddenly, a slap sounded.

It was Thundery Barnes who slapped the plump woman, his wife ’Flora Cloud’.

"You... you hit me?"

Flora Cloud was stunned. Her son had just died, she merely spoke her heartfelt words, and her husband actually slapped her?!

"Yes, I slapped you, ignorant woman!"

Thundery Barnes raised his hand and gave Flora Cloud another slap, then respectfully looked at Firey Barnes and the three elders, "Clan Chief, three elders... it was my son who brought this upon himself, nobody else is to blame! Thundery Barnes knows what should be done and what shouldn’t. Please, Clan Chief and the elders, rest assured."

"Good, it’s rare that you, Thundery, can see the bigger picture!"

The three elders of the Barnes family all nodded in satisfaction.

Only Clan Chief ’Firey Barnes’, his eyes firm, deeply looked at Thundery Barnes, "Second Brother, I hope you do as you say... otherwise, I will be disappointed, and the family will be disappointed!"

Thundery Barnes shivered, and quickly replied, "Yes, Clan Chief!"

"Fourth brother, you will be responsible for bringing Wyatt back to our family... He has suffered so much outside, our Barnes family will compensate him well."

Firey Barnes then looked at Swany Barnes standing to the side and slowly spoke.

"Yes, Clan Chief!"

Swany Barnes quickly took the order, sighed in his heart, and realized that Avery Barnes had truly died for nothing.

Watching Clan Chief and several elders leaving one after another, Honor Barnes was left utterly at a loss.

That’s it?

"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, things have been decided, please grieve within reason."

Swany Barnes comforted Thundery Barnes and his wife once more before stepping away.

"You really aren’t going to avenge our son?"

Watching as the last outsider left, the plump woman’s small eyes were tinged with blood red. She looked at her husband beside her and asked coldly.
