Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Catching Soft-shelled Turtles in a Jar

"Albert King!"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes stared at Albert King, his gaze condensing, his voice slightly cold, "I’ll give you one chance... Leave with the 200,000 bank checks in your hand, as for the lives of your four brothers, they must stay here! Otherwise, you all must die!"

The sudden change in Wyatt Barnes startled Albert King and his four men, changing their expressions.

"You...you’re going back on your word!"

Albert King’s face changed, glared at Wyatt Barnes, not expecting Wyatt Barnes to break his promise.

"Looking for death!"

Frank Graham’s voice was icy, his foot flashing out like lightning, kicking Albert King out, crashing into the wall, collapsing loudly.

Albert King spat out a few mouthfuls of clotted blood, his eyes, however, still mixed with a reluctant look, falling on the body of Wyatt Barnes, filled with anger.

"Boss."

The other four members of the Northern Five Tigers, mourned bitterly.

"Albert King, this is your last chance, hope you cherish it."

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes fell on Albert King, speaking faintly.

"Even if I, Albert King, have to die, I will not abandon my brothers!"

Albert King gritted his teeth, although he feared death, thinking of sacrificing the lives of his brothers, who have fought side by side with him for several years, for his own life, he still refused, Wyatt Barnes.

Even if he survives by luck, he would not be able to have peace of mind in this lifetime.

"Boss, you should go!"

"Boss, we know you are loyal...but we still hope you can survive and take care of our families for us!"

"Boss, live on!"

...

The other four, at this point seemed to have realized the impending crisis and hurriedly urged him.

"Number Two, Number Three, Number Four, Number Five!"

Albert King’s eyes were bloodshot, looking at the four men in front of him, deeply moved.

Seeing this, Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn were moved, as soldiers, they valued bonds, they could not help but respect the loyalty of Albert King and his men.

Just when they were about to speak up for Albert King.

"Congratulations, Albert King, you have passed my test!"

The coldness on Wyatt Barnes’s face melted in an instant, and he picked up the 280,000 bank checks that had been brought out, and kept 200,000 for himself, throwing the remaining 80,000 to Albert King, "After getting this place cleaned up, take this one million, take your four brothers, and leave the Imperial City."

The sudden change left the five of them stunned.

Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn, however, smiled, looking at Wyatt Barnes, their admiration growing.

"Thank you Young Master, thank you, Young Master!"

Albert King and his men kneeled down again, repeatedly bowing their heads, this time, they were sincerely grateful to Wyatt Barnes.

"I’ll leave this place to you, I have other matters, I’m leaving first."

Wyatt Barnes glanced at Albert King and his men, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and left with Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn directly.

"Young Master, what would have happened if Albert had abandoned his four brothers and left just now?"

Outside the inn, Frank Graham, following behind Wyatt Barnes, couldn’t help but ask.

"If he chose to abandon his brothers, none of them would have survived!"

Wyatt Barnes spoke in a calm tone, as if he was just describing an ordinary matter.

In his heart, if Albert King had made that choice, even he himself would not have been able to justify sparing them...

Hearing this, Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn gasped in unison, glancing at the teenager in sync, their eyes profound.

They didn’t doubt at all that when this young man grows up, he would definitely be a ’hero’!

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes focused, looking at Frank Graham, "Frank Graham, do you know where that ’Colton Hayden’ usually hangs out?"

Frank Graham was quite familiar with Colton Hayden, and soon Wyatt Barnes had brought the two with him to confront him.

After some threats, Wyatt Barnes pried open Colton’s mouth, and handed him over to Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn to handle...

Who knew, the two directly killed Colton Hayden!

"You guys..."

Wyatt Barnes was stunned.

Frank Graham chuckled, "Young Master, this Colton Hayden is evil, I’ve long wanted to teach him a lesson."

"Why didn’t you teach him a lesson before?"

"In the past, he had connections with the Sinclair Clan Chief..."

"Why aren’t you afraid now?"

"We’ve already killed two legitimate sons of the Simmons Clan, we’re all in, it doesn’t matter if we add one more, Colton Hayden."

"..."

For Frank Graham’s reasons, Wyatt Barnes was somewhat speechless.

Why does it sound like he’s the one who led Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn astray?

"This Colton Hayden actually has a Storage Ring... over 30 million bank checks?"

Wyatt Barnes, after taking possession of Colton’s Storage Ring, looking at the huge pile of bank checks inside, was temporarily stunned.

"Technically, Colton Hayden shouldn’t have this much money... it must have been given to him by that person from the Barnes Family."

Frank Graham speculated.

"Hmph! This Colton Hayden, even said they received only 5 million... almost deceived me."

Wyatt Barnes snorted coldly, "We’re almost closing the inner city, let’s go!"

Now that their objective has been achieved, the only thing left is the matter of the inner city.

"Thundery Barnes!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes became sharp, murderous intent was looming.

From Colton Hayden’s mouth, he learned that it was one of the second master of the Barnes Family who had sought him out... the person behind it was starting to emerge.

It’s Thundery Barnes, the second master of the Barnes Family!

Upon entering the inner city, Wyatt Barnes instructed Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn: "Keep a close watch on ’Thundery Barnes’ tonight, I need to know if he returns to the Barnes mansion or goes elsewhere... Report back to me when you ascertain his movements."

"Yes, Young Master."

Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn nodded hastily.

They had guessed the young master’s plan – he planned to eliminate ’Thundery Barnes’!

Even though they knew Thundery was the second master of the Barnes Family, holding an extraordinary status, they didn’t feel they were crossing a line now because they had already killed two legitimate members of the Simmons Clan.

As the young master said.

As long as everything is taken care of cleanly and no traces are left behind, everything would be foolproof.

The night was dark and windy, perfect for killing.

In the inner city, outside a large mansion, three dark, masked figures silently sneaked over the wall into the courtyard.

They are Wyatt Barnes, Frank Graham, and Gideon Dunn.

After Frank and his partner had tracked him all night, they had confirmed that Thundery Barnes had indeed come to this mansion and had not returned home to the Barnes Family’s residence.

This mansion was twice as large as Wyatt’s house and was now completely dark and silent...

"Something seems amiss."

Suddenly, Wyatt, with his acute spiritual power, vaguely sensed something.

What’s more, he noticed that the two small pythons hidden beneath his long sleeves had also started to become agitated, as if they had sensed something...

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt led Frank forward.

Having come this far, he didn’t want to return empty-handed!

Furthermore, in his view, a disabled person didn’t pose any threat!

Even if there were bodyguards, he wouldn’t fear!

As long as they weren’t in the ’Half-Step Void Realm’, they could be managed with the ’Bone Corrosion Inscription’.

Wham!

Just as Wyatt, along with Frank and Gideon, reached the center of the front yard, a clear sound was heard and the lights instantly switched on, illuminating the entire yard.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At the same time, three figures appeared, thus trapping Wyatt, Frank, and Gideon in a ring.

When these three people approached, the shadows of a thousand ancient giant elephants condensed above each of their heads...

Three Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm practitioners!

The three who revealed themselves were three old men, staring fiercely at Wyatt, Frank, and Gideon.

Wyatt’s pupils constricted, and his expression changed slightly, but his face was covered, so no one else could see it.

He didn’t expect to have been discovered!

However, he was unfazed, with three Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm practitioners - as long as Frank and Gideon cooperated to kill one of them, he could use the ’Storage Ring’ and the ’Bone Corrosion Inscription’ on the Purple Emperor Soft Sword to instantly kill the other two.

"Wyatt Barnes, I must admit, I underestimated you."

At this moment, a man of solemn demeanor, a middle-aged man, leisurely emerged from the main building of the mansion.

Next to the middle-aged man stood an old man in a green robe.

Although this was the first time he had seen this middle-aged man, Wyatt could see some similarities between him and Avery Barnes from his facial features...

Thundery Barnes!

However, his attention was not on Thundery Barnes at the moment, but on the old man in the green robe standing next to Thundery Barnes.

The old man in the green robe was skinny with skin wrapped around his bones, yet he exuded an unfathomable aura, creating a feeling of extreme danger.

With his experience as a reincarnated martial emperor, Wyatt knew this old man was not a nobody...

The old man in the green robe was possibly even stronger than an ordinary Nineth-Order Original Infant Realm warrior.

Half-Step Void Realm!

Wyatt took a deep breath, feeling his heart rate speeding up at this moment.

"He shouldn’t be in the Half-Step Void Realm..."

Wyatt comforted himself.

"So? Wyatt Barnes, are you not willing to face me, your second uncle?"

Thundery Barnes looked at Wyatt and spoke indifferently.

Wyatt took a deep breath, took off his mask to reveal his face...

Since he has been recognized, there was no need to keep wearing the mask.

At this point, he was almost certain that he had fallen into Thundery Barnes’s trap tonight.

Thundery Barnes had obviously set him up for an ’ambush’!

"Indeed, you do resemble Lanni Barnes..."

Upon seeing Wyatt’s face, Thundery’s eyes hardened, a chilling anger seeping through, as if transported back to the past when Lanni Barnes crippled his martial arts prowess.

"I am curious, how did you know I would come?"

Wyatt looked at Thundery Barnes and asked.

"All I can say is that your companions here are not professional in tailing me. They were spotted by ’the dry old man’ early on."

Saying this, Thundery Barnes paused for a moment and smiled at the old man in the green robe standing beside him, reverence clear in his smile.

"Young Master, we apologize."

Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn didn’t expect the blunder to be their fault, their pupils contracted and they apologized, their voices bitter.

Wyatt took a deep look at the old man in the green robe.

Frank and Gideon had been with him for some time and made significant progress in tailing, to the point where Wyatt was sure that even if they were to tail an ordinary Nineth-Order Original Infant Realm warrior, they might not be noticed.

Could this old man in the green robe really be a practitioner in the ’Half-Step Void Realm’?

A chill rose in Wyatt’s heart.
