Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Loud Thunder, Just a Few Raindrops

Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair were helpless.

No matter how they talked Wyatt Barnes down, he was hell-bent on leaving.

As evening fell, Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair accompanied Wyatt Barnes as he walked out of the gates of the Martial Arts Academy.

Just as Wyatt steps outside, he found himself met with a piercing gaze that had locked him in its sight.

"Are you Wyatt Barnes?"

From a distance, Lester Bell, the head of the City Guard, stared unblinkingly at Wyatt Barnes, as if he was deeply afraid Wyatt would disappear from his sight.

Students of the Martial Arts Academy, even freshmen, were typically around twenty years old. An eighteen-year-old youth was indeed rare.

Most importantly, this youth was wearing a purple gown, just like the Wyatt Barnes mentioned in the rumors.

So, Lester Bell quickly recognized Wyatt Barnes.

"You guys should head back first."

Wyatt Barnes shot a smile toward Remi and Seeker Sinclair.

But, Remi and Seeker Sinclair did not leave. As friends, how could they leave at a time like this? They would go through thick and thin together.

Wyatt Barnes merely smiled and didn’t urge them to leave. In his view, everything in front of him was nothing but a farce and unworthy of his concern.

"Indeed, I am Wyatt Barnes."

Wyatt Barnes walked towards Lester Bell with a carefree expression, as if the fierce tiger standing before him was nothing but a docile kitten.

Lester Bell narrowed his eyes and his fierce gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes. "You dared to ruin my son’s life by destroying his Dantian with inscriptions. Have you thought about the consequences before you did that?"

Wyatt Barnes shrugged, maintaining a calm gaze and a faint smile on his lips. As he fiddled with his Storage Ring, he responded, "Commander Lester, I didn’t know your son prior to this day. Why not ask why I wrecked his Dantian?"

"Hmph!"

Lester Bell’s expression darkened as he coldly retorted, "I don’t care to know, nor am I interested... All I know is that today, you, Wyatt Barnes, will undoubtedly die!"

"Are you that certain?"

The rotation speed of Wyatt’s Storage Ring increased a fraction as a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"You’ll soon find out why!"

Lester Bell’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he suddenly took a step forward, emanating a formidable aura.

"Lester Bell!"

At that moment, a figure as agile and brisk as a ghost darted out of the Martial Arts Academy. He positioned himself in front of Wyatt, shielding him from Lester Bell.

Upon seeing Lester Bell’s intent to fight, Wyatt was already prepared to activate his ’Bone Erosion Inscription’ to annihilate this Lester Bell...

The sudden appearance of the figure caused Wyatt to halt his actions.

"Vice Principal!"

Seeing the old man, Wyatt was somewhat surprised but nevertheless greeted him.

"Wyatt, you sure know how to get into trouble."

The grey-clothed old man, who was also the Vice Principal of the Martial Arts Academy, named Heroic, shook his head and chuckled.

Wyatt touched his nose with embarrassment and laughed awkwardly.

"Heroic!"

Lester Bell’s movements also slowed as he looked at Heroic with a darkened expression. "I respect the Martial Arts Academy, which is why I did not forcibly break-in to kill this Wyatt Barnes... Now outside of the Martial Arts Academy, do you still intend to stop me?"

Heroic responded with an indifferent smile, "Commander Lester, you’re overthinking it. I generally do not interfere in matters outside the academy..."

"Then, why don’t you move aside?"

Lester Bell cut Heroic off with a cold glare.

Just then.

A luxurious carriage was approaching from a distance, drawing everyone’s attention.

Even Lester Bell couldn’t help but frown.

The carriage directly charged toward the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy, but was stopped by the city guard.

"Move!"

The old coachman, with a stern expression, pushed out his palm. A vast amount of Origin Force condensed into a palm imprint and whooshed out, blowing all the city guards in its way away.

"Go!"

The old man cracked his whip, and the three tall horses pulling the carriage charged forward.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the old man, Wyatt looked surprised.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this old man was the Third Elder of the Barnes Clan.

If the third elder of the Barnes Clan was acting as the coachman, then the person inside the carriage must be of extraordinary importance.

Out of curiosity, Wyatt wondered who it might be.

"Lester Bell, you sure have some nerve!"

An enraged, aged voice echoed from inside the carriage.

Immediately after, Auty Barnes stood to one side and helped the old man out of the carriage.

"Grand Elder!"

Seeing the old man who came out, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes narrowed a bit, he looked somewhat surprised.

The Grand Elder of the Barnes Clan was quite different from those of the Sinclair and Simmons Clans.

The Grand Elder of Barnes Clan, Vibe Barnes, was the previous clan chief, and his status was supreme. Within the Barnes Clan, he was more respected than the Clan Chief, even rivalling the other senior elders.

Upon seeing the old man, Lester Bell’s expression turned dark.

Although he had heard that Wyatt Barnes had returned to the Barnes Clan, he had not expected this old man to personally come for Wyatt Barnes.

"I pay my respects to Elder Vibe."

Lester Bell took a deep breath, looked at Vibe Barnes, and slightly bowed his body in respect.

"Lester Bell, you go through all this trouble and put on this grand show just to deal with an eighteen-year-old lad from our Barnes Clan?"

Vibe Barnes’ eyes were calm as they settled on Lester Bell.

In an instant, Lester Bell felt a great pressure. He drew a deep breath and said forcefully, "Elder Vibe, my visit here is to avenge my son.... I know Wyatt Barnes is a genius of your Barnes Clan, but he nonetheless crippled my son’s dantian, ruining his entire life!"

"I took an oath in front of my son. So long as I, Lester Bell, still breathe, Wyatt Barnes will not live past tomorrow! So, Elder Vibe, after I avenge my son, then I’ll apologize to you."

Lester Bell’s words were pointed, no politeness to be heard.

"Ha! Steven Bell really has a superb son... good, good!"

Vibe Barnes’ eyes hardened, a glint of fierceness flashing past, "I want to see then, how you intend to kill our Barnes Clan’s Wyatt Barnes while I, Vibe Barnes, am present!"

"Elder Vibe, I respect you as an elder, don’t go too far!"

Lester’s expression darkened, showing clear signs of anger.

"Too far? Hahaha...."

Vibe Barnes laughed, a laughter full of dominance, and within it was a trace of horrifying aura.

Wyatt Barnes was the first to sense this intimidating aura, his eyes narrowed and he thought, "This Grand Elder is at the ’Half-step to Void Realm’... how true, after all, he’s one of the older generation powerhouses of Barnes Clan."

Half-step to Void Realm!

Lester Bell’s pupils dilated, looking at Vibe Barnes, his face filled with shock,"You... you actually reached Half-step to Void Realm!"

"Hmph! Steven Bell and I are from the same era, if that old guy Steven broke through to this level, how could I be far behind?"

Seeing Lester Bell’s expression, Vibe Barnes couldn’t help but scoff.

At this moment, the onlookers from the Martial Arts Academy all had their eyes light up.

Of course, they didn’t understand what ’Half-step to Void Realm’ meant.

They just believed Vibe Barnes was a ’Void Realm expert’.

"The Grand Elder of the Barnes Clan is actually a ’Void Realm expert’!"

"As expected of the former Barnes Clan Chief, his strength is truly astonishing."

"Seems like Wyatt Barnes should be safe today. Even a Void Realm expert has appeared, Lester Bell, even though he’s the City Guard commander, will probably be unable to do anything."

...

Amidst the discussions from the academy students, Lester Bell’s expression turned even darker.

He did not expect that the Barnes Clan would go to such lengths and dispatch a ’Half-step to Void Realm’ for Wyatt Barnes!

With this ’Half-step to Void Realm’ expert here, not to mention him, even if he led the thousand City Guards behind him, they wouldn’t be able to stop them...

If they wanted to take Wyatt Barnes away, it would be easy!

"Let’s go!"

Thinking to this point, Lester Bell chose to ’advance by retreating’, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent brushed past Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow but he didn’t take Lester Bell’s departing threat to heart.

In his view, if Lester Bell dared to seek him out, he would be seeking his own doom!

However, the appearance of Grand Elder ’Vibe Barnes’ today does save him from using up an ’Bone Corroding Inscription’.

The City Guards came with a great show of force, but now they’ve all retreated, leaving the onlookers who came to watch the excitement with no choice but to sigh:

"Originally, I thought that City Guard Commander Lester Bell was going to put in a big fight, but who knew it would be all talk and no action."

"Exactly, such a letdown, it was a waste of my time."

"It’s not exactly a waste of time, at least now we know the ins and outs of the situation...this Wyatt Barnes is really awesome, he disabled the only son of City Guard Commander Lester Bell!"

"Yeah, not everyone dares to do this."

...

After the group of City Guards had left, the crowd that had come to watch the fun also dispersed.

"Thank you, Grand Elder, for coming to my rescue."

Wyatt Barnes gave Vibe Barnes a smile. Although, even if Vibe Barnes hadn’t come, he was confident that he could have escaped, but since Vibe Barnes did come and it saved him a ’Bone Corroding Inscription’, it was necessary to thank him.

"You little guy, you really are a troublemaker."

Vibe Barnes shook his head, and soon his gaze fell on an old man in a grey robe standing nearby, "Heroic, it’s been a while."

"It has been a long time...more than a decade, right?"

Heroic nodded, seemingly recognizing Vibe Barnes.

"I should take my leave."

Vibe Barnes nodded at Heroic and turned to Wyatt Barnes, "Kid, should I give you a ride home?"

"Grand Elder, that won’t be necessary, I can get back on my own."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

Vibe Barnes nodded, not saying much else, he reentered the carriage and left.

"Wyatt, aren’t you worried that Lester Bell will make a surprise attack on you?"

Heroic looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked with a smile.

"I actually hope that he will come back."

Under Heroic’s astonished gaze, Wyatt Barnes bade Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair goodbye, then left.

Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn’t expect the Grand Elder of the Barnes Clan to come in person... did Wyatt know in advance? No wonder he was so calm."

Remi Sinclair remarked thoughtfully.

"And we were worried for him."

Seeker Sinclair shook his head with a bitter smile.

At this time, the group of students at the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy dispersed as well.

However, they were still shocked.

The Barnes Clan, incredibly took Wyatt Barnes so seriously!

Even having a ’Void Realm expert’ stand up for Wyatt Barnes...
