Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 216: The Emperor’s Summon

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Emperor’s Summon

"Young Master despises him to the bone because of Princess Irene."

Upon hearing Quentin Drake’s inquiry, the old man slowly nodded.

"Princess Irene... It’s a pity, my son was not destined to marry her."

The chill glint in Quentin Drake’s eyes flickered, "However, people outside dare to belittle my son and praise that Wyatt Barnes... Since Novah hates him, there is no reason for him to continue living in this world."

Quentin Drake spoke these words with a calm expression.

As if he turned into a ’judge’ with the power to determine life and death at will.

Perhaps, in his eyes, he has never taken Wyatt Barnes or the ’Barnes clan’ behind him seriously.

"Master, in this attack our Crimson Heaven Kingdom troops conquered ’South Barbarian City’, Wyatt Barnes was the top contributor. The Emperor will undoubtedly reward him handsomely and view him as the ’pillar of the nation’..."

The old man frowned slightly, seemingly hesitant.

"So what?"

Quentin Drake spoke lightly, "Now that my son’s prospects are grim, let me fulfill his last wish... He hated Wyatt Barnes. So I will kill Wyatt Barnes to appease his spirit. Consider it the last thing I can do for him."

Despite suspecting that his son had died, Quentin Drake quickly restored his calm.

If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would undoubtedly be wary of Quentin Drake.

Because people like him are the ones Wyatt Barnes dislikes most and are the gloomiest and most terrifying.

The following morning

In a spacious room, served by two young girls, Wyatt Barnes dressed and stepped out of the room.

After breakfast, he went to the Holy Martial Arts Academy.

His presence unsurprisingly caused quite a stir as he passed through.

"Wyatt Barnes, I like you!"

From not far away, a female student blushed and yelled at Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes was stunned.

The surrounding students were also dumbfounded, followed by an audible gasp from the crowd.

"I like you too."

Wyatt Barnes gave the female student a slight smile and continued to move forward.

Immediately, the other female students looked enviously at the one who had just spoken. Soon after, they also started shouting in imitation, "Wyatt Barnes, I like you!"

"Wyatt Barnes, I like you!"

...

Facing the enthusiastic female students, Wyatt Barnes also returned their smiles, "I like you all too."

In light of Wyatt Barnes’ composure, the attending Holy Martial Arts Academy students all began to feel favorable towards him.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Just then, a figure was walking towards him in the distance.

Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows.

He never expected that the other party would take the initiative to greet him, and in such a friendly manner too.

The person in front of him was none other than Qadir Adams!

"Qadir Adams, you’ve changed."

A faint smile appeared on Wyatt Barnes’ face. The Qadir Adams of today was less arrogant and seemed much more approachable than before.

At least, his current demeanor didn’t elicit the same dislike as before.

Clearly, after the last incident, Qadir Adams had changed a lot.

"I should be thanking you for helping me see many things clearly... and your triple stratagem was truly impressive!"

Qadir Adams responded with a friendly smile.

After being defeated by Wyatt Barnes last time, Qadir Adams underwent a few days of silence before recovering.

He reflected on many things and now saw Wyatt Barnes as a goal to strive towards, filled with admiration.

Perhaps, from that moment onwards, all resentment towards Wyatt Barnes in his heart had completely dissipated.

"You’re not bad either, having made a breakthrough to the Original Pill Realm."

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes narrowed faintly as he responded with a mysterious smile.

"You... could tell?"

Qadir Adams was stunned.

He had achieved this breakthrough on the way back to Imperial City. It’s been less than a month since his breakthrough and he was certain that he hadn’t revealed his ’Original Pill Realm’ strength in front of anyone.

However, he never would have thought that Wyatt Barnes would notice it at first glance.

"Wyatt Barnes, you truly are extraordinary... Shall we become friends?"

Qadir Adams’ face was full of anticipation.

"Aren’t we friends already?"

Wyatt Barnes smiled.

Qadir Adams also smiled, "Then I won’t bother you anymore, I have to go to class."

"Alright."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

The brief exchange between Wyatt Barnes and Qadir Adams left the surrounding crowd in shock.

"Could it be the legendary ’friendship through a duel’?"

"Maybe."

Many people sighed in awe, some of them had even personally witnessed the previous confrontation between Wyatt Barnes and Qadir Adams.

Back then, Qadir Adams had wished nothing better than to kill Wyatt Barnes!

Yet now, the two of them have become friends. Truly, nothing in the world remains unchanged.

"Wait, didn’t Wyatt Barnes just mention that Qadir Adams has broken through to the ’Original Pill Realm’?"

"Seems like it!"

"Unexpectedly, after our Holy Martial Arts Academy had an ’Original Pill Realm’ in the first grade, now there’s one in the second grade too!"

...

Soon, the conversation among the crowd shifted to Qadir Adams.

As Wyatt Barnes walked into the classroom, he noticed that aside from Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair, everyone else was looking at him intensely.

"Wyatt Barnes, well done!"

"You’ve really made our ’Star System’ first grade proud!"

"Impressive!"

...

The students in the class praised Wyatt Barnes without hesitation or reservation.

Wyatt Barnes smiled in return.

"Haha! Wyatt, we saw Tiggi Field shortly after you left yesterday afternoon...He said he’s going to settle accounts with you at noon."

Seeker Sinclair laughed.

"Settle accounts with me? Settle what account?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback and a bit puzzled.

"What else could he settle, of course, it’s because you didn’t help him secure a spot to join the reinforcement army."

Remi Sinclair also laughed.

"Damn it! Have you two sold me out like this?"

Wyatt Barnes stared, these two were truly unreliable...

"We didn’t betray you, he guessed it himself."

Seeker Sinclair shrugged and smiled faintly.

Just then, Enzo Hawkins walked into the classroom. Standing on the podium, he looked deeply at Wyatt Barnes with somewhat complicated eyes.

Even he didn’t anticipate that Wyatt Barnes would possess such a ’military strategist’s talent’ in leading troops to battle!

Leading an army of 100,000 and capturing the ’South Barbarian City’ of the South Kingdom without a single soldier...

Such a track record could be used as a ’case study’.

"Borrowing arrows with thatched boats, secretly crossing the Wei River, pulling firewood from under the cauldron... in addition to ’deceiving the sky and crossing the sea’, Wyatt Barnes, you’re truly extraordinary."

Enzo Hawkins took a deep look at Wyatt Barnes and laughed.

"You flatter me, sir, I was just lucky."

Wyatt Barnes replied humbly with a smile.

Lucky?

Not only Enzo Hawkins, but also Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair among the students couldn’t help but twitch their mouths at the corners.

Can this be called luck?

When Enzo Hawkins didn’t know what to say, a figure appeared at the door of the classroom.

The Vice Principal of the Saint Martial Arts Academy, "Heroic".

Heroic nodded at Enzo Hawkins and then looked at Wyatt Barnes, saying: "Wyatt Barnes, His Majesty wants to see you, please come with me."

Whoosh!

As expected, Heroic’s words caused a stir in the classroom.

The Emperor of their Crimson Heaven Kingdom wants to see Wyatt Barnes?

"It seems, Wyatt Barnes is going to get a break."

"I guessed it already, this time Wyatt Barnes commanded the army to capture the ’South Barbarian City’ of the South Kingdom, adding glory to the Crimson Heaven Kingdom. His Majesty must be overjoyed and naturally won’t be able to avoid rewarding Wyatt Barnes."

"I wonder what His Majesty will reward Wyatt Barnes with...."

"Wait until Wyatt Barnes comes back, and just ask him, right?"

...

Within the classroom, the students whispered amongst themselves.

It was only when Enzo Hawkins deliberately coughed twice that the classroom returned to tranquility.

Wyatt Barnes followed Heroic and left the Saint Martial Arts Academy.

Outside the academy, a lavish carriage stood waiting, with soldiers adorned in armor on each side.

The one acting as the coachman was a young soldier.

"This armor doesn’t seem to belong to the City Guards... Could it be the armor of the Imperial Guard Army that guards the Imperial Palace?"

A thought sprung up in Wyatt Barnes’ mind.

"Vice-Principal, Wyatt, please."

Seeing Heroic and Wyatt Barnes approaching, the young soldier jumped down from the carriage and respectfully welcomed both of them into the carriage compartment.

When facing Wyatt Barnes, the young soldier’s face showed sincere awe.

As a member of the military, he admired Wyatt Barnes’ actions at the Northwest Border.

"Vice Principal, are they the Imperial Guard Army?"

Seated in the carriage, Wyatt Barnes looked at Heroic and inquired curiously.

"Yes, they’re the Imperial Guard Army."

Heroic nodded slightly and laughed: "This time, I had to rely on your fortune. Normally, even if I had to enter the palace, I would bring my own carriage... But this carriage was personally ordered by His Majesty for you."

Soon, Wyatt Barnes arrived at the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace was grand and magnificent, with palaces standing in the distance, appearing majestic and extraordinary.

The carriage that was carrying Wyatt Barnes entered the palace as if it was uninhabited, quickly reaching a palace right in the center of the Imperial City.

Under the escort of the young Forbidden Troops soldier who acted as a coachman, Wyatt Barnes and Heroic entered the palace.

The palace, resplendent in gold, was dizzyingly magnificent.

"Hmm?"

Upon entering the palace, Wyatt Barnes found four people already present.

The Godly Might Marquis ’Atharv Nigel’ and his son, stood on one side.

And on the golden throne, a sixty-year-old man dressed in a dragon robe firmly sat there.

Even though aged, the authority of his position was the most oppressive of all the people Wyatt Barnes had seen.

However, this authority could not have any impact on Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes guessed.

This sixty-year-old man should be the current emperor of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom.

Next to the emperor stood a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed like a refined scholar, his eyes sparkled with wisdom, his face was calm, and his temperament was extraordinary.

If he had met such a person in normal times, Wyatt Barnes would certainly secretly applaud.

However, right now.

Faced with this person, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel a sense of caution.

Because, as soon as he entered the palace, he noticed a barely perceptible killing intent, seemingly aimed at him.

That trace of killing intent, fleeting.

If it weren’t for Wyatt Barnes’ experience and intuition accumulated from his past life, he might not have noticed it.
