Chapter 220: Chapter 220: The Death of Lester Bell

The Brocade Clothes Guards, requiring a minimum qualification of the Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm.

Suddenly, they have become the laughing stock of the Imperial City. Everyone thinks the leader of the Brocade Clothes Guards, ’Wyatt Barnes’, is daydreaming...

How could he recruit entities above the Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm whenever he wanted?

In the evening, the sky was filled with red clouds.

Imperial City, City Guard’s camp.

Thirteen noble steeds stood firmly at the entrance of the camp, soon followed by thirteen figures dismounting their horses.

These thirteen people were dressed alike in Flying Fish uniforms!

On their waists hung a token and a slender waist knife, the Embroidered Spring Knife!

Among the thirteen people, a young man was the leader.

In the young man’s demeanor, traces of youthfulness could be discerned.

Clearly, the young man was nearing nineteen, becoming a ’young man’.

"Who are you?"

Ten soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the City Guard’s camp in armor, stared fiercely at the approaching group of thirteen.

"Presumptuous!"

The leading youth snorted coldly, his cold gaze sweeping over the ten City Guard soldiers. He didn’t answer them and walked directly into the City Guard’s camp.

"You..."

A City Guard soldier stepped forward, intending to stop them.

However, he was pulled back by someone next to him.

"What are you doing? Don’t you see someone is barging into our City Guard camp?"

The former frowned.

"Are you crazy? Didn’t you see their badges? They are ’Brocade Clothes Guards’!"

The latter took a deep breath, his brow furrowed with a hint of fear.

"What?! The Brocade Clothes Guards? Isn’t the minimum requirement for the Brocade Clothes Guards the Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm? Could there actually be someone who joined the Brocade Clothes Guards?"

"Who knows... if I’m not mistaken, the leading young man should be the commander of the Brocade Clothes Guards, ’Wyatt Barnes’."

"The existence of the Brocade Clothes Guards is recognized by the Emperor himself. Commander Barnes is even the Emperor’s ’spokesman’. Not just us, even our Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard would probably have to tread cautiously around him."

...

Wyatt Barnes entered the City Guard’s camp and headed directly toward the central tent.

The City Guard soldiers dodged him wherever he went.

Wyatt Barnes led the way, followed closely by two old men, and ten middle-aged men trailed behind the old men.

Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn were among them.

Early this morning, Wyatt Barnes had visited the Crawford Mansion, thus eluding the destiny of ’singleton commander’.

He took ten men from the Crawford Mansion. Together with Frank Graham and Gideon Dunn, there were now thirteen in the Brocade Clothes Guards, including himself.

"Commander-in-chief, the Brocade Clothes Guards...the Brocade Clothes Guards are here!"

A hurried figure burst into the tent at the center of the City Guard camp, hastily reporting the news.

"What?!"

The color of the City Guard’s commander, Lester Bell, changed slightly, "How many of them came?"

"Including Commander Barnes, a total of thirteen."

The person who came in continued.

"Thirteen? In other words, besides him, there are twelve entities above the Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm? The Crawford Mansion is really generous, to actually cooperate with that ’brat’ so much... well, the Crawford Mansion was, after all, a good friend of the brat’s father, ’Lanni Barnes’."

Lester’s face darkened, he instructed the person who came in, "Now go and inform the other centurions, call out all the brothers left in the camp... I want to make that brat know that our City Guard’s camp is not a place where he could act recklessly!"

"Yes."

The person who entered accepted the order and left.

"Wyatt Barnes, you’re really lucky! Even the Original Infant Realm warrior that I sent out couldn’t take your life... but today since you dare to bring people into our City Guard camp to make a scene, I won’t leave any of you standing!"

A shiver-inducing chill flickered in Lester Bell’s eyes.

Outside.

Wyatt Barnes stopped his steps near the central tent.

The twelve people behind him also stopped.

At this time, the City Guard soldiers left in the camp surged forward. For a moment, the earth shaking as though a great mountain was moving.

A group of City Guard soldiers trapped Wyatt Barnes and his party like a water bucket, giving them no way to escape.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes saw Lester Bell again.

Lester Bell stepped forward with a bloodthirsty smile on his face, "Wyatt Barnes, I didn’t expect you to walk right into the trap... Outside, you have the status of ’Brocade Clothes Guard Commander’, I might have reservations about killing you. But now that you’ve barged into my City Guard camp, even if I kill you, I doubt the Emperor will blame me."

Wyatt Barnes didn’t expect Lester Bell to issue a death threat as soon as he appeared.

It seemed that he had indeed come to the right place today!

"Lester, you’re just as arrogant as last time... Last time, didn’t you also claim that I was as good as dead? Yet, aren’t I still alive and kicking?"

Wyatt Barnes sneered in response to Lester’s provocation.

"You!"

Lester’s face darkened, "If it wasn’t for the Grand Elder of your Barnes family intervening last time, you would have been dead by now! Today will be no different... I must say, I’m surprised you set such a high threshold for the Brocade Clothes Guards, and the Crawford Mansion still gave you twelve men."

"You know these men are from the Crawford Mansion?"

Wyatt Barnes was somewhat surprised.

"Hmph! What I know is far beyond your imagination."

Lester Bell sneered.

"Commander Bell, my main reason for coming today is to discuss the event from five months ago... The person you sent to kill me has died in the wilderness. Today, I’ve come to settle the account. I won’t be greedy, just pay me ten million USD for ’shock compensation’. How does that sound?"

Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes, gazing at Lester Bell, and spoke slowly.

Wyatt Barnes’s words fell on the ears of the surrounding City Guard soldiers and left them dumbfounded.

Ten million USD, and he’s not greedy?

Is this Brocade Clothes Guards Commander ’Wyatt Barnes’ joking?

"Wyatt Barnes, it seems you already know it all..."

Lester Bell’s gaze grew cold. "You have some means to pry open the mouth of my informant."

"So, Commander Bell, are you admitting to it?"

Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile.

"What if I did?"

Lester Bell sneered and his eyes revealed a bone-chilling coldness.

"Then hurry up and deliver the ’shock compensation’ so I can take my brothers out for a good drink."

Wyatt Barnes flashed an elusive smile.

"You still expect to get the ’shock compensation’?"

Lester Bell laughed aloud, his laughter wild and unrestrained. "Wyatt Barnes, it seems that you haven’t grasped the situation yet. Do you think the people you brought with you can match my thousands of City Guard soldiers? I tell you, even if each one of us just spits once, it’s enough to drown you all!"

"It seems, Commander Bell, you are quite optimistic."

Wyatt Barnes’s face was nonchalant, but his eyes held a hint of provocation.

"Hmph! Wyatt Barnes, don’t think you’re somebody just because you bear the title of ’Brocade Clothes Guards Commander’. You are nothing in front of me!"

Lester Bell pointed his finger towards Wyatt Barnes’ nose, spitting while he spoke with a condescending tone.

Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened.

Whether in his past or present life, he detested those who pointed at his nose in admonition the most.

Once, a mercenary who was once an exceptional SEAL from M Country lectured him after pointing at his nose and was killed with a punch that burst his brain!

"Kill him!"

As a rush of murderous intent exploded within Wyatt Barnes, his voice echoed, resolutely cold.

"Kill me?"

Lester Bell laughed, with a face full of mockery and disdain.

However, his laugh quickly froze.

Because his neck had become separated from his body...

Bang!

Blood erupted into a fountain. Many of the City Guard soldiers on the scene couldn’t react in time when they saw their commander’s head leave the body.

In the next moment, they saw.

Standing behind Barnes, an old man was withdrawing his narrow sword, drops of blood dripping to the ground...

And the Centurions from the City Guard stared at the old man, faces full of disbelief.

They only saw the old man turn into a phantom. They hadn’t even had time to see how many ancient giant elephant illusions appeared above his head before their commander had been killed.

They were quite sure that this old man was at least a Ninth-Order Original Infant Realm existence...

His strength was not weaker than their commander’s!

Only because of the surprise attack, was he able to take him down in a single blow.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Wyatt Barnes, followed by the twelve Brocade Clothes Guards in flying fish clothes with Embroidered Spring Knives hanging from their belts, slowly turned around and walked out of the camp.

As they passed by, the soldiers of the City Guard made way for them.

Now, with their Commander dead, they naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to rush in to die.

These people brought by the Brocade Clothes Guard Commander were not just Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm existences, there were even those in the ’Ninth-Order Original Infant Realm’...

With a strength of the Ninth-Order Original Infant Realm, they could serve as a commander in any army of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom.

But now they were willingly following this Brocade Clothes Guard Commander, serving him.

As Wyatt Barnes left the City Guard camp and mounted his horse, a smile spread across his face...

This feeling was indeed exhilarating!

He had had a great time today.

If someone knew what Wyatt Barnes was thinking, he didn’t know what expression they would have.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was leading his twelve men back to the Brocade Clothes Guard’s base.

An astonishing piece of news emanated from the City Guard camp, quickly spreading throughout the entire Imperial City...

The Brocade Clothes Guard Commander, ’Wyatt Barnes’, led twelve Brocade Clothes Guards into the City Guard camp, executed City Guard Commander, ’Lester Bell’ and left at leisure.

This news completely dumbfounded those who were previously dismissive of the Brocade Clothes Guards and mockingly referred to Brocade Clothes Guard Commander Wyatt Barnes as a ’figurehead commander’.

"The bar for becoming a Brocade Clothes Guard is so high, yet they were able to recruit twelve people?"

"Twelve beings existent above the Seventh-Order Original Infant Realm... This group of Brocade Clothes Guards is the ’elite combination’, a representation of quality over quantity!"

"I heard that the one who executed the City Guard Commander ’Lester Bell’ was just a Brocade Clothes Guard under Commander Barnes... He killed Lester Bell with just one strike!"

"I heard it too. In my estimation, that Brocade Clothes Guard must be a top-notch figure in the Ninth-Order Original Infant Realm."

"Without a doubt! If not the Ninth-Order Original Infant Realm, how could he have surprised and killed Lester Bell who was also in the Ninth-Order Original Infant Realm."
