Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Clan

"So, what have you decided?"

Swany Barnes looked at Wyatt Barnes, with a face full of expectation.

If it were in the past, he would never imagine having to submit himself to this nephew. However, he was now certainly qualified for that.

After all, not everyone could possess the ’Original Pill’ cultivation realm at the mere age of eighteen.

He felt that it was wrong for the family to use Wyatt in this way.

However, if the Barnes Family could gain a ’Peep Naught Realm’ strongman due to this, he would witness the moment when the Barnes Family reaches its peak.

Being a descendant of the Barnes Family, he looked forward to that moment.

"Really, any condition I ask for?"

Wyatt squinted his eyes, gazing at Swany, asking for confirmation once again.

"As long as it’s within the Barnes Family’s power, we can promise anything."

Swany answered seriously.

"Even if I ask you to die?"

Wyatt smirked and suddenly asked.

Swany was stunned for a moment but still replied earnestly, "If my death could ensure your return to the Barnes Family, I would end my own life without letting the family intercede."

Wyatt took a deep look at Swany.

They say that the eyes are the windows to the heart. One can lie with words, but they can’t lie with their eyes.

At this moment, Wyatt saw sincerity in Swany’s eyes.

That confirmed that he meant what he said.

Internally, Wyatt sighed in disbelief. The brainwashing of people in this world was indeed successful.

"Just kidding... Although I do not appreciate you, it hasn’t come to the point where I want you dead."

Wyatt responded with a light smile. There were no deep grudges between him and Swany.

Swany let out a sigh of relief. He feared that Wyatt might want him dead, but even so, he would not hesitate for the future of the Barnes Family.

"Will you agree now?"

Asked Swany once more. Seeing Wyatt’s reaction, he felt hopeful.

"As long as the Barnes Family keeps their promise, why not return and recognize my ancestry? It would fulfil a wish of my mother too."

Wyatt hardened his gaze and mused to himself.

Without a doubt, the Barnes Family always puts profits first. Since he had value to them, they were willing to make any sacrifices.

In Wyatt’s view, why not make full use of the Barnes Family?

Currently, he was in the early stage of everything. If he really had the help of the Barnes Family, many difficulties could be easily overcome.

Plus, it would make his mother happy.

Why not?

The ’Breaking Void Pill’ that the Barnes Family wanted could be dealt with later.

He didn’t need to think about it now.

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Swany was delighted. "When will you and your mother arrive at the Barnes Family estate? I can ask the Clan Chief to prepare a large courtyard for you. It’s certainly more comfortable than living outside."

"That’s not necessary. We are doing fine living outside. Even if I truly return to the Barnes Family, I will not live in the Barnes’ estate...I want this point to be clear."

Wyatt shook his head and became serious.

Swany slightly smiled, "Naturally, that won’t be a problem."

Not all descendants of the Barnes Family’s main line lived at the estate. Many had their own residences outside.

This was also the case for him with his own manor.

"As for when my mother and I will return to the Barnes Family... probably the day after tomorrow. I don’t have classes for the next two days."

Wyatt pondered for a moment and gave his answer to Swany.

"Alright, I will send someone to pick you up at that time."

A smile spread across Swany’s face.

"No need, we will handle it ourselves. Just make sure no one turns us away when we arrive."

Wyatt refused Swany’s offer, stood up, and got off the carriage.

"His fiery and anxious temper, just like Third Elder Brother. It seems that incident from two years ago still haunts him. But since he agreed to come back and recognize his ancestry, I have successfully completed my task."

Swany mumbled to himself and let out a laugh.

After Wyatt got home, he told his mother ’Christina Lee’ about his decision to return to the Barnes Family.

"Wyatt, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Christina was both surprised and delighted but she was also doubtful.

She knew her son’s personality well. Once he made up his mind about something, he wouldn’t change it easily.

"I have thought it through recently. After all, I have the blood of the Barnes Family flowing within me. I cannot possibly reject them for the rest of my life."

Wyatt answered casually, not mentioning the truth.

Otherwise, she would worry more.

"My dear, I know there is more to it than that. But if you are willing to go back and recognize your ancestry, it would relieve a heavy burden from my heart. If you don’t want to elaborate, I won’t force you."

Christina looked deeply at Wyatt as if she could see into his heart.

Wyatt smiled awkwardly, realizing that his mother was not easily fooled.

The next day, Wyatt didn’t go to Martial Arts Academy, instead, he stayed home and spent an entire day with the two girls in his family.

The third day, early in the morning, Wyatt asked Fill Bear to prepare a carriage. He and his mother Christina Lee set off for the Barnes’ estate.

Wyatt Barnes didn’t bring the two little girls from his family. To him, today’s trip to the Barnes family compound for acknowledging his ancestors and returning to his clan was just a formality, and he would be back soon.

The Barnes mansion, occupying a broad area, was like a city within a city.

On the way.

"Mother, it seems like you’re a bit nervous."

Wyatt looked at Christina Lee and laughed.

"You, brat... dare to tease your mother... I’m just a bit emotional. You’ve grown up so much now, which means I’ve been away from the Barnes Family for many years."

Christina’s gaze was distant, as if she were back in those happy days before her husband had disappeared.

Soon, the carriage was parked in front of the mansion’s main entrance, under Fill Bear’s control.

"Quite a spectacle."

Through the carriage window, Wyatt faintly saw a red carpet laid out in front of the Barnes mansion’s main gate, and lining either side of the carpet were rows of maids and servants...

"This..."

Christina was a bit dazed seeing this scene. She suddenly realized that her son’s decision to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the Barnes clan might not be so simple after all.

"Young Master, madam, we’ve arrived."

Fill Bear’s respectful voice came in.

Wyatt was the first to get out of the carriage, carefully helping his mother out, then they both walked onto the red carpet outside the mansion’s main entrance.

"Greetings to Young Master Wyatt and Madam."

At that moment, the maids and servants on either side of the red carpet bowed and greeted mother and son.

"Hm?"

Wyatt looked up and saw a group of people standing at the gate of the Barnes clan, coming to greet them.

This group was led by an authoritative middle-aged man and an elderly man, and his Fourth Uncle ’Swany Barnes,’ was following them.

Wyatt, supporting his mother, walked up to greet them.

"Clan Chief, elder brother."

Christina looked at the authoritative elderly man at the front, bowing respectfully, and then greeted the authoritative middle-aged man with a smile.

"Christina, I am no longer the Chief of the Barnes Clan. Firey is the Clan Chief now... As for me, I’m now the ’Grand Elder’ of the Barnes Clan."

The authoritative looking elderly man smiled slightly, his words genteel to Christina.

"Could that be the previous Clan Chief of the Barnes Clan, ’Vibe Barnes’?"

Wyatt looked at the stern elderly man, guessing his identity.

Christina shook her head and smiled, "It’s been nearly twenty years since I left. I would never have guessed that the Clan Chief has retired and elder brother has become the Clan Chief."

"Wyatt, you haven’t greeted them yet?"

Christina knit her brows slightly and said to Wyatt.

"Greetings, Clan Chief. Greetings, Grand Elder."

Wyatt gave Firey Barnes and Vibe Barnes a slight smile.

"He truly is Christina’s child, looking very much like Christina did back in the day... Good, very good."

Vibe Barnes looked at Wyatt as if he were a treasure, his eyes shining.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, the baby from back then has grown up."

Firey Barnes also nodded, giving Wyatt a slight smile.

Immediately after, the elders of the Barnes Clan also came up to greet Wyatt and his mother...

The elders of the Barnes Clan all greeted mother and son with smiles, not daring to show any disdain.

Seeing this scene, Wyatt chuckled darkly to himself.

Pure opportunism!

Back in the day, when his mother, a lone woman, left the Barnes Clan with him, an infant, no one tried to stop them, allowing them to wander the world alone.

Now, knowing he might get the ’Breaking Void Pill’ for the Barnes Clan, they swarmed around him like flies.

In his heart, Wyatt could only feel disgust.

Soon, under the supervision of Clan Chief Firey, Wyatt completed the acknowledgement of his ancestors and returned to the Barnes Clan at the ancestral temple.

"Wyatt, if you need anything in the future, feel free to tell your big uncle."

After everything was finished, Firey Barnes said to Wyatt.

"Thank you, Clan Chief."

Wyatt quickly nodded.

"Also, you don’t need to worry about the issue with the Simmons Clan. The family will help you sort it out."

Firey Barnes subsequently said to Wyatt.

Wyatt’s gaze shifted slightly. This Clan Chief was quite clever, realizing that his mother was present and thus not detailing the conflict between him and the Simmons Clan.

Even so, Christina was still suspicious.

"Wyatt, what happened between you and the Simmons Clan?"

On the carriage back, Christina asked curiously.

"Mother, it’s nothing. Just that a legitimate child of the Simmons Clan provoked me at the academy and was injured."

Wyatt said casually.

Christina nodded. This wasn’t a big deal.

If only she knew that Wyatt had crippled the other party’s cultivation base, destroying their future, how would she feel...
