Chapter 231: Betting Life on Refining Tools

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Betting Life on Refining Tools

It was deep into the night, Wyatt Barnes was sound asleep, holding the two women in his arms.

Whoosh!

A sudden noise near his ear jolted Wyatt’s mind sharply, instantly bringing him back to alertness.

Quickly, Wyatt discovered that the entire courtyard was ablaze.

"Who’s there?!"

At that moment, Wyatt heard Fill Bear’s furious shout, followed by the sound of doors breaking open.

Keer and Jovie Lee woke up at the commotion.

After dressing quickly, the three stepped out of their room, only to find Christina Lee had also emerged.

"Wyatt, are you all unharmed?"

Looking at the trio, Christina asked with concern.

"Mother, I’m fine. Fill Bear seems to have chased someone out, let’s go out too."

Although the whole courtyard was ablaze, Wyatt and the others, with their speed, could easily evade the surrounding flames.

Soon, Fill Bear returned, a young man in his grip.

It was a young man.

With just one glance, Wyatt recognized the young man, "Rudy Lee!"

Rudy Lee, the son of the once Seventh Elder ’Mark Lee’.

Wyatt’s face turned somber, back when he had left Qingfeng Town, he had never intended to settle scores with Rudy again...

But now, Rudy was still obstinate, causing trouble for him.

"Wyatt Barnes, you’re not burned to death!"

Seeing that Wyatt and the others were safe, Rudy’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked unwilling to admit it.

At this time, scattered footsteps were approaching; it was Clan Chief Jeremy Lee and the Elders rushing over. Numerous members of the Lee family also came over with buckets of water, dashing over to help extinguish the fire at Wyatt home’s courtyard.

Unfortunately, the fire was too extensive and could not be put out.

In the end, the entire courtyard was reduced to ashes.

Wyatt clenched his fists tightly, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. This courtyard held too many of his memories...

Now, it was all gone!

"Hahahahaha... Wyatt Barnes, are you angry? I wanted to make you angry. You ruined my brother, and my father surely died because of you. I wanted to avenge them, I wanted to avenge them!"

Rudy Lee broke into ecstatic laughter when he saw Wyatt’s expression.

"Rudy Lee, you are courting death."

Wyatt’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Rudy, his voice icy.

"Wyatt, let Clan Chief handle this."

Christina spoke to Wyatt.

Wyatt took a deep breath and only then did he realize that Clan Chief Jeremy Lee and the Elders were present.

"Wyatt Barnes, rest assured, the family will provide you with an explanation!"

Jeremy Lee’s face turned grim. Considering Wyatt’s status today, his return to visit them implied that he still considered himself part of the Lee family.

Now, Wyatt had merely returned to stay for a night, and Rudy dared to start a fire...

This crossed his bottom line!

"Indeed, Wyatt Barnes, we will provide you with an explanation."

The Lee family’s elders voiced their concurrence one after another, looking at Rudy with cold, murderous eyes.

Wyatt nodded in response.

Shortly, Wyatt and the others were settled in the courtyard arranged by Clan Chief Jeremy Lee. As for Rudy’s matters, he believed that Jeremy would handle them appropriately and didn’t think further on it.

The next morning, Wyatt woke up and woke Keer and Jovie, taking a walk around the Lee mansion.

He didn’t know when he would be back after leaving this time.

"I heard Rudy was executed by the Clan Chief."

"He deserved it, walking straight into the line of fire!"

"Exactly, Wyatt Barnes is the pride of our Lee family. Rudy dared to provoke him, he was simply courting death!"

...

Hearing the discussion among the Lee descendants, Wyatt was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect Clan Chief and Elders to give him such a decisive explanation.

After breakfast, Wyatt bid farewell to the high-ranking members of the Lee family.

Clan Chief Jeremy Lee and the elders personally saw Wyatt and his party off Clean Wind Town.

Only after watching Wyatt leave did they turn to go back.

With a swift horse, it took less than two hours for Wyatt and his companions to reach Aurora City.

They returned directly to the Lee mansion.

Christina Lee and Keer returned to their former residence, while Wyatt, accompanied by Fill Bear, went with Jovie to her home.

Not long after they had arrived at the courtyard where Jovie’s family was located, Wyatt saw Clan Chief ’Atticus Lee’ leading a group of elders over.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Seeing Wyatt again, Atticus wore a warm smile. He was both astounded and pleased about Wyatt’s achievements today.

After all, Wyatt arose from their Lee clan.

Now, the fact that the Lee clan had produced an individual like ’Wyatt Barnes’, the few major families in the nearby cities were all intentionally trying to forge good relations with the Lee clan. And the Lee clan had benefited greatly from it.

In his view, all of these were attributed to Wyatt.

"Chief."

Wyatt smiled at Atticus Lee, and also greeted the other elders, although he didn’t recognize most of them.

"Scoundrel, Grandpa is in trouble!"

Just then, Jovie’s anxious voice rang out, carrying a hint of a sob.

"What happened?"

Wyatt’s countenance hardened, his gaze fixed on Jovie.

Jovie Lee handed a letter to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt opened it and read:

"Jovie, if you come back and see this letter from your grandfather, then your grandfather is probably gone... Actually, I’ve wanted to do something for my teacher for a long time. But because of your presence, I’ve never had the resolution to do it!"

"Now, with young Wyatt taking care of you, I can rest assured. I have to go to a place to find the person who once gambled life with my teacher over Artifact Refining, leading to my teacher’s tragic death... I will make him bet his life with me on Artifact Refining to avenge my teacher! This is the only thing I can do for my teacher."

"Back then, if it weren’t for the teacher’s rescue, I would have died long ago... If you see this letter, don’t be sad, your grandfather died for a worthy cause."

Upon finishing the letter, Wyatt’s face was extremely grim.

"What’s wrong?"

Atticus Lee sensed something was off and asked.

Wyatt took a deep breath and handed the letter to Atticus.

After reading it, Atticus’ face turned pale, "Elder Edgar Lee left a year ago, only mentioning that he was going on a long journey... I did not expect..."

A year ago?

Wyatt’s expression changed, he turned to look at Jovie Lee with some worry.

"Bastard!"

Jovie threw herself into Wyatt’s arms and started crying.

Wyatt gently patted Jovie’s back, his eyes frosty. He turned to Atticus, asked: "Clan Chief, do you know where Elder Edgar went?"

Atticus shook his head, "I have no idea. Neither did I know that Edgar even had a teacher... However, staking life on Artifact Refining is a lead. After all, such incidents are rare. We should be able to find out with some investigation... I will send someone to look into it right away."

"Thank you, Clan Chief."

Wyatt nodded appreciatively.

Atticus quickly left with a group of elders from the Lee Family.

Orders were swiftly issued.

The Lee Family attached great importance to this matter.

In the eyes of the higher echelons of the Lee Family, although Wyatt was merely an affiliate, he is the pride of the Lee Family.

In addition to that, given Wyatt’s status in the Crimson Heaven, they would do their best to assist Wyatt, even if it was just to curry favor with him...

"Jovie, don’t worry, perhaps grandfather won?"

Wyatt tried to comfort Jovie.

"My grandfather’s been gone for a year, if he won, he would have come back by now."

Jovie said through her sobs.

"Maybe your grandfather won and was happy, so he went traveling. Don’t be worried until we find out, okay?"

With Wyatt’s comforting, Jovie’s expression finally softened a little.

"Bastard, if my grandfather lost, you must avenge him for me."

Jovie’s eyes hardened, the intention to kill flickered in her eyes.

"Rest assured."

A hint of killing intent also flashed in Wyatt’s eyes, he nodded firmly.

Jovie’s grandfather was also his grandfather.

Wyatt took Jovie back to their house. Christina Lee and Keer, upon hearing about Jovie’s grandfather, also started to comfort Jovie.

Wyatt greeted the three women before leaving the Lee residence with Fill Bear.

They went directly to the marketplace and found ’Shally Don’, the person in charge of the Ghostly Shadow organization in Aurora City.

"You little fellow, finally back."

Shally Don was somewhat surprised to see Wyatt, but quickly noticed the upset look on Wyatt’s face, "What’s wrong? With your status today, what could possibly bother you?"

Today, Wyatt was well-known throughout the Crimson Heaven kingdom.

"Shally Don, I’ve come to you with a matter for which I need your help."

Wyatt explained his purpose.

"Tell me."

Shally Don nodded.

Wyatt explained Edgar Lee’s situation, "I want you to use the information network of the Ghostly Shadow organization to help me investigate if there has been any Artifact Refiner of eighth rank staking life on Artifact Refining within the last year."

"No problem."

Shally Don agreed.

"Thanks for your help."

After Wyatt left the medicine shop, he went to the Lynch residence to find Ellis Lynch.

"Wyatt Barnes, you are famous throughout the Crimson Heaven kingdom now."

Upon seeing Wyatt again, Ellis Lynch had a complex look in his eyes.

The youth of yesteryears had now grown to such an extent...

He was left in the dust.

"Ellis, I’ve come to you for help with something."

Wyatt explained his purpose, hoping to leverage Ellis to get the Purple Gold Commerce Chamber to help gather information.

After learning of the particulars, Ellis’s face also turned grave, "Of course, no problem. I’ll go find the person in charge of the Purple Gold Commerce Chamber in Aurora City right now... I believe, given your current status, my aunt and uncle would be more than glad to assist you."

"Thanks."

Wyatt nodded. Now, apart from the Lee Family, the only power he could rely on were the Ghostly Shadow organization and the Purple Gold Commerce Chamber.

Nevertheless, Wyatt believed that with the involvement of the Ghostly Shadow organization and the Purple Gold Commerce Chamber, answers should come soon.

After leaving the Lynch residence, he finally exhaled and returned to the Lee residence.

There he saw a ’familiar face’.

"Maximus Lee."

This Maximus was once second only to Rayan Lee among the young generation of the Lee Family before Wyatt joined the Lee Family.

He had the intention to pursue Keer.

However, after Wyatt demonstrated his formidable strength, Maximus disappeared from sight discreetly.
