Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 232: Found it

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Found it

"Wyatt Barnes."

Seeing Wyatt, Maximus Lee felt somewhat embarrassed.

Given Wyatt Barnes’ present status and identity, even if Maximus harbored some minor trepidation, he wouldn’t dare cross Wyatt now.

A single mishap might plunge him into the Abyss.

Wyatt Barnes nodded faintly. He and Maximus Lee weren’t particularly acquainted and in fact had some differences. However, he didn’t feel like bothering with it now and went straight home.

Upon seeing Wyatt leave, Maximus Lee breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that Wyatt would confront him over old issues. But it seemed that he had been overthinking it.

When Wyatt returned home, he found a plump figure chatting with his mother.

"Darren Lee?"

Wyatt entered the courtyard somewhat hesitantly.

Darren should be about this age now.

"Haha! Boss."

The chubby figure turned around; compared with the past, the naïveté on his plump face was now entirely gone. However, his pair of small eyes were still as sly.

"Darren, you have grown up."

Wyatt looked at the chubby figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

Subsequently, he took over from his mother, ’Christina Lee’ and chat with the chubby boy...

"Boss, you’re really impressive now. Once I tell the Lee Family that you’re my boss, nobody dares to provoke me."

Darren Lee boasted arrogantly, his chubby face filled with pride.

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "When did you, this little fat guy, learn to pretend to be a tiger?"

"Boss, you’ve earned such a high reputation, if I don’t take full advantage of it, aren’t I just wasting your efforts?"

Darren Lee responded earnestly.

"Can you be any more shameless?"

Wyatt Barnes rolled his eyes at Darren. This fat guy was still as sly as he was back then, making Wyatt feel like he was back to the days when they were in Clear Wind Town of the Lee Family.

He still remembered.

Back then, the son of the Second Elder would run as soon as he saw Darren...

"Boss, tell me about your experiences in the Imperial City."

Darren Lee was evidently very interested in Wyatt Barnes’ experiences in the Imperial City.

With Wyatt’s narration, Darren’s small eyes were filled with twinkling lights, "Boss, why don’t you take me to the Imperial City this time you leave... with you sheltering me, wouldn’t I be invincible there?"

Saying this, Darren showed a face full of longing.

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your wish. Once I finish my affairs here, I won’t be able to stay long in the Imperial City."

Seeing Darren Lee’s confused face, Wyatt Barnes continued, "I plan to go to the Green Forest Royal Country."

Upon hearing this, Darren’s chubby face sagged down, "Then I have to keep staying in Aurora City."

In the following days, Wyatt Barnes stayed in the Lee Family waiting for the news...

Finally, a month later, Ellis Lynch brought back good news.

"Wyatt Barnes, we’ve found it."

When Ellis arrived, he was panting heavily, clearly he had rushed over as soon as he got the news.

"Found it?"

Wyatt’s eyes lit up.

"Wyatt Barnes, according to the information found by the Purple Gold Fragrance Trading House, a year ago, there was a contest between an eighth-grade Artifact Refiner and another person in County City, and in the end, the former produced a higher-quality artifact which cost the other’s life!"

Ellis said it all in one breath, "At that time, this event was a big stir in County City. My aunt also knew about it, and as soon as she found out it’s you investigating this, she immediately sent a message to Aurora City."

"Do we know anything about that Artifact Refiner?"

Wyatt’s face darkened, a flash of chill passed through his eyes as he asked.

"It seems to be someone from the ’Watson Family’ in County City."

Ellis continued.

Watson Family, huh?

Wyatt’s eyes flashed as he thanked Ellis with a smile, "Ellis, thank you."

"What’s there to thank? We’re friends."

Ellis shook his head, then added, "Wyatt Barnes, my aunt said, if you need any help, you can find her once you reach County City."

"Don’t worry, if needed, I won’t be hesitant."

Wyatt nodded.

After Ellis left, Jovie stepped out of the room, somewhat excited, "Bastard, is there any news?"

"Hmm, there’s news. But I’m not sure if it’s grandpa, I plan to go to County City to verify it in person."

Wyatt nodded, and his eyes turned cold when he reached the end, "If it really is grandpa, that ’eighth-grade Artifact Refiner’ from the Watson Family will undoubtedly die!"

"I will go with you."

Jovie said.

Wyatt didn’t refuse, because he knew he couldn’t, and there was no reason to.

Now, the person who was most concerned about this matter, undoubtedly, was Jovie.

"Okay, I’ll tell Keer and mom, we’ll take Fill Bear and leave immediately."

After letting Keer and Christina know, Wyatt and Jovie, along with Fill Bear set off.

Three swift horses, like a gust of wind, left ’Aurora City’.

Thanks to their swift horses, Wyatt Barnes and his two companions reached Swallow Mountain County City in seven days.

County City was larger than Aurora City, but not as grand as Imperial City.

Upon their arrival at County City, it was a hive of activities with carriages moving ceaselessly along the streets...

Wyatt found an inn for them to settle down in first before heading to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Jovie Lee did not wear a veil this time, attracting many flaming gazes along their way.

However, these beholders did not dare to act out of line. They could tell that the dignified young man in purple, walking beside this woman, was no ordinary person. Thus, they were cautious.

Moreover, the middle-aged man following behind them was not someone to be trifled with.

"Guests, what would you like to eat?"

Before long, a waiter came up to Wyatt’s table and politely inquired.

Thud!

Wyatt Barnes lifted his hand, dropped a silver ingot and said, "I want to ask you something. If you can answer it well, this is yours."

Hearing this, the waiter’s eyes lit up.

Earn that much money just by moving his lips?

This single silver ingot was worth a month’s salary.

"Guest, you can ask me anything you want to know," the waiter responded, grinning obsequiously.

"I’m not interested in anything else. I just want to ask you... A year ago, did an eighth-grade Artifact Refiner of the Watson Family have a conflict with an outsider who was also an eighth-grade Artifact Refiner? They even had a ’duel to the death’ by refining artifacts!"

Wyatt Barnes turned to the waiter and asked.

"Guest, I thought you were going to ask something else... But this, I know," The waiter chuckled as he heard Wyatt’s question, "The eighth-grade Artifact Refiner of the Watson family you’re asking about is the Second Elder of the Watson family... Well, the Second Elder is a well-known eighth-grade Artifact Refiner in our County City of Swallow Mountain. He can even refine an eighth-grade spiritual artifact that increases its power by ’19 percent’!"

"19 percent... That’s the best even among eighth-grade spiritual artifacts! Rumor has it that he once had a duel with another eighth-grade Artifact Refiner years ago. At that time, he could only refine an eighth-grade spiritual artifact with an increase in power of ’18 percent’, but he still won."

"Apparently, the over-confident eighth-grade Artifact Refiner a year ago was the disciple of the same Artifact Refiner he defeated years ago... This master and disciple duo fell at the hands of the same person. How unlucky."

At the end, the waiter could not help but sigh.

Listening to the waiter’s words, Jovie Lee’s eyes turned a bit redder...

Now, she could almost confirm that the eighth-grade Artifact Refiner who had a duel with the Second Elder of the Watson family a year ago was her grandfather, ’Edgar Lee’.

"Do you know what the eighth-grade Artifact Refiner who challenged the Second Elder of the Watson family looked like a year ago?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the waiter, wanting to confirm further.

"Guest, it’s a coincidence. I was off work that day. One of my friends was a servant of the Watson family. He sneaked me in so that I could witness that duel with my own eyes... That eighth-grade Artifact Refiner was around seventy years old, with a crescent-shaped scar above his left eyebrow," the waiter stated slowly. "Unfortunately, despite refining an eighth-grade spiritual artifact that could increase its power by ’18 percent’, he lost."

"Grandpa!"

Jovie shuddered, lifting her head as if trying to hold back tears that were about to fall.

"This silver is yours now, please give us some of your restaurant’s signature dishes."

Wyatt took a deep breath, now able to confirm fully that the old man was ’Edgar Lee’.

"Alrighty!"

The waiter took the silver ingot and left gleefully. From his perspective, exchanging a few words for a silver ingot was a great deal.

"Bastard."

Jovie was on the verge of tears, feeling quite emotional.

"Jovie, we’ve been traveling all day... When the food arrives, make sure to eat well. Once you’re full, we’ll head to the Watson family mansion. Let that Second Elder of the Watson family pay for his actions! Since he likes to duel with artifact refining, I’ll play along with him."

As Wyatt Barnes finished his words, his eyes turned cold.

"Okay."

Jovie Lee nodded submissively, making her appear obedient and attractive.

"Young Master, it’s just a family in a county city. You just give the word, and I’ll obliterate them now."

Fill Bear’s eyes narrowed, his voice filled with icy coldness.

"Fill Bear, for some people, simply killing them off is too lenient."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

At that moment, two figures entered the restaurant, a young man in his early twenties leading the way with an elder following him.

The young man appeared pallid, and his steps were unsteady, evidently due to overindulgence.

"Hmm?"

Soon, the young man’s gaze landed on the table where Wyatt Barnes was seated, especially on Jovie Lee.

"Beautiful!"

The young man’s breath hitched as he quickened his steps towards them. He looked at Jovie Lee with fiery desire in his eyes. "Miss, may I know your name?"

He ignored Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear completely.

"Scram!"

Jovie Lee was already in a bad mood. Being bothered by such an annoying person, she coldly snapped at him.

"Oh! Quite fiery... I like it," The young man was not pissed off at all. In fact, he seemed to be more interested now. "Miss, how about we become friends?"

"Didn’t you hear me tell you to scram?"

Wyatt Barnes frowned, ignoring the young man from the very beginning.

Only then did the young man notice Wyatt Barnes, and his face twisted into a sneer. "Kid, do you even know who you’re talking to? Inquire before speaking. Do you really think you can afford to offend me, William Watson, the Third Young Master of the Watson family?"
