Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 241: The Phantom Appears Again

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: The Phantom Appears Again

Of course, besides the Sinclair Clan, Wyatt Barnes also entered the Imperial palace, asking the emperor to help him collect these materials.

Moreover, he also visited the Godly Might Marquis mansion and the Barnes family.

Today, the Barnes family viewed Wyatt Barnes as their ’hope’...

Especially when the higher echelons of the Barnes family heard that Wyatt Barnes would be leaving the Crimson Heaven Kingdom in a month to join one of the top five sects in the Green Forest Royal Country, they unconditionally agreed to any of Wyatt’s requests.

"Kid, the money you’ve entrusted to others to collect the materials, our Barnes family is paying for it all!" Grand Elder ’Vibe Barnes’ of the Barnes family generously said.

"Then I’ll thank the Grand Elder in advance."

Wyatt Barnes laughed, not being polite, after all, he and the Barnes family were in a mutually beneficial relationship.

What the Barnes family wanted was just a Breaking Void Pill.

Even if he couldn’t find it in the top sects of the Green Forest Royal Country, once he steps into the Seventh-Order of the Original Infant Realm and becomes a ’Fifth-Order alchemist’, he will be able to concoct it himself.

After leaving the Barnes family, Wyatt Barnes went to the Simmons Clan.

Jameson Simmons, the Clan Chief of the Simmons Clan, personally welcomed Wyatt Barnes inward, "Commander Barnes!"

Wyatt Barnes got straight to the point, "Chief Simmons, I came to you this time to ask for your help in collecting some material... in a month’s time, I will come to pick them up, by then, just quote a price."

"That naturally won’t be a problem."

Jameson Simmons nodded, accepting the list of materials written by Wyatt Barnes.

There was a complex look in his eyes.

Previously, he was still discussing with the elders of the Simmons Clan on how to deal with Wyatt Barnes.

But in a blink of an eye, Wyatt Barnes made a dramatic comeback, they of the Simmons Clan, dare not offend him now.

Moreover, he had suspected that the disappearance of the elder ’South Simmons’ of Simmons Clan had something to do with Wyatt Barnes... However, not to mention the lack of evidence, even if there was evidence, he wouldn’t dare to provoke Wyatt.

In a way, Wyatt Barnes is already allied with the Godly Might Marquis and the Imperial Family.

Far beyond what the Simmons Clan could resist!

"Thank you, Chief Simmons. I take my leave."

Wyatt Barnes took his leave and directly walked out of the hall.

But it was at this time that Wyatt sensed something, as he turned, he found a shadow charging towards him. On the latter’s silver eighth-ranked spirit sword, there was a glossy black sheen, clearly soaked in highly toxic substances.

"Wyatt Barnes, I want you dead!"

The attacker made another lunge at Wyatt, but his Ninth-level Body Tempering Realm cultivation was nothing to Wyatt, and Wyatt kicked him away.

"Roman Simmons, I didn’t expect you to still be so ruthless even after you lost all your cultivation."

Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened. The person who was ambushing him was Roman Simmons.

This was why his mental power didn’t sense anything.

A Ninth-level Body Tempering martial artist could not pose any threat to him. Roman was injured by Wyatt’s kick and fell to the ground, unable to stand up again, and glared at Wyatt, "Wyatt Barnes, you crippled me and killed my grandfather. You and I are irreconcilable!"

"Irreconcilable, you?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes cooled. This Roman Simmons was truly incorrigible!

"Roman!"

At this time, Jameson Simmons, who had sensed the disturbance, came out. Seeing the scene before him, his face darkened, "What are you doing?"

"Chief, I want to avenge my grandfather, take revenge for myself!"

Roman Simmons coldly replied.

"Enough! From now on, your grievances with Wyatt Barnes are wiped clean... If today’s event were to repeat itself, I will kick you out of the Simmons Clan!"

Jameson Simmons frowned slightly. This Roman Simmons had really gone mad.

Now, not only was he a cripple, but even the entire Simmons Clan couldn’t afford to offend Wyatt Barnes.

On hearing these words, Roman’s body trembled. Lowing his head, hatred filled his eyes, almost bursting.

"Chief Simmons, I take my leave."

Wyatt Barnes nodded at Jameson Simmons and left the Simmons Clan to return to his mansion.

By that time, it was getting dark.

However, just as he was walking to the entrance of his mansion, Wyatt Barnes noticed a figure, it quietly landed in front of him like a ghost...

Whoosh!

Almost simultaneously, Fill Bear appeared behind Wyatt Barnes.

On the way, Fill Bear had been hiding by Wyatt Barnes’ side, like his ’shadow’, following him everywhere.

"It’s you!"

Through the darkness of the night, Wyatt Barnes saw the attacker’s attire and recognized him.

Dressed in black with a ghost king mask...

Wasn’t he the ’Ghost-faced Man’ who had killed the semi-void realm powerhouse beside Thundery Barnes?

According to Wyatt Barnes’s guess, this man was likely the elusive ’leader’ of the ’Ghostly Shadow’ killers...

Of course, it was just a guess.

"Follow me."

A husky voice sounded from the man’s mouth.

This was the first time Wyatt Barnes heard this man speak.

Wyatt Barnes still remembered, the previous time at Thundery Barnes’s mansion, this ’Ghost-faced Man’ did not say anything from start to end, not even a single word as he killed that old man.

Then, Wyatt Barnes discovered that the Ghost-faced Man left at a speed that he could keep up with.

"Let’s go!"

Although he didn’t know why the Ghost-faced Man was doing this, Wyatt Barnes still followed him along with Fill Bear.

He could sense that the Ghost-faced Man did not mean him any harm.

Eventually, the Ghost-faced Man led Wyatt Barnes into an uninhabited mansion and into a room where he lit the lamp.

"Did you want to see me?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the ’masked man’ standing before him. As they had been walking on the road earlier, he found the man’s silhouette slightly familiar - as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t quite remember where.

Suddenly, Wyatt noticed that the masked man was reaching out to remove his mask...

The true face of the masked man was fully revealed to Wyatt.

"Mas...Master Hawkins!"

Wyatt was stunned. He could never have imagined that the masked man he had encountered was none other than the dean of Saint Wu Academy and his professor in the Star System, Enzo Hawkins!

No wonder he felt the man’s silhouette was familiar as they were walking.

Enzo Hawkins gave a faint smile. "You seem to have offended quite a few people, haven’t you...?"

Wyatt was taken aback. "What do you mean, Master?"

"You just arrived in Imperial City today, right? Around dusk, someone went to the base of the ’Ghostly Shadow’ to put a price on your head..."

Enzo Hawkins gave Wyatt a deep look.

Wyatt suddenly burst out laughing. "Master, are you the ’leader’ of the Ghostly Shadow?"

Enzo Hawkins faintly smiled, neither admitting to nor denying his allegation.

But Wyatt felt he already had the answer.

He had once assumed that Enzo Hawkins might be the fourth hidden ’Void Realm expert’ in the Crimson Heaven kingdom, but that now seemed like it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Enzo Hawkins was actually the elusive leader of the Ghostly Shadow Organization!

"Master, who wants me dead?"

Wyatt changed the question, his eyes glimmering with menacing light.

"Ironically, the person happens to share quite the past with you," Enzo Hawkins chuckled.

"Master, stop teasing...who is it exactly?"

Wyatt gave a bitter smile, feeling somewhat impatient. He started to miss the silencer ’masked man’ already.

"Thundery Barnes’ wife, also Avery Barnes’ mother...Flora Cloud!"

Enzo Hawkins slowly said.

Flora Cloud?

This name was unfamiliar to Wyatt.

But now that he knew her identity, he also understood why she wanted him dead.

Her malicious intent persisted, indeed!

"Do you need me to help you handle it?"

Enzo Hawkins inquired, his tone mocking, yet serious.

"Are you offering to handle it for free?"

Wyatt laughed this time.

"You little rascal, don’t flatter yourself. Are you short of money? Of course, my help doesn’t come for free." Enzo Hawkins rebuked with a chuckle.

"Master."

Wyatt suddenly grew serious. "It seems like even Uncle Nigel is unaware that you’re the leader of the Ghostly Shadow...does the Emperor know about it?"

Enzo Hawkins nodded. "The Emperor does know. In fact, the Ghostly Shadow was initially established by the Emperor’s order."

"Master Hawkins, I’m curious, why would you willingly pledge such loyalty to the Emperor?"

Wyatt asked curiously, believing that with Enzo Hawkins’ strength, he could easily free himself from the emperor’s grasp.

Upon hearing this, Enzo Hawkins let his gaze wander, sighing after a long while, "Back then, the Emperor saved my life... I owe him a debt."

Wyatt nodded, refraining from asking further.

As the saying goes, one life for another is already more than enough of a reason.

The gratitude owed for saving one’s life is enough to make people willing to sacrifice everything they have.

The autumn wind was bone-chilling in the deep of these quiet nights.

In the ancient-looking inn at the inner city, in a top-grade guest room...

A plump matron paced back and forth. Each step she took seemed to cause the ground to tremble slightly.

"You little swine, this time with the assassins from the ’Ghostly Shadow’ after you, I will make sure there’s nowhere left for your body to be buried!"

The matron’s voice revealed sinister coldness and deep hatred, as if she would dismember him into thousands of pieces at the sight of him.

"Really?"

Just then, a cold voice sounded from above.

Immediately afterwards, the rooftop was blasted open.

A purple figure descended from above.

It was Wyatt Barnes!

Upon hearing the noise, Flora Cloud’s expression changed. Upon seeing Wyatt, her gaze abruptly turned cold. "You little swine, it’s you!"

Even though she had not seen Wyatt after he grew up, his facial features still carried six to seven parts of resemblance with Lanni Barnes’ which helped her identify him right away.

"Little swine?"

Wyatt’s eyes flickered with a flash of cold light, filled with killing intent.

Upon seeing the murderous intent in Wyatt’s eyes, Flora Cloud shuddered, suddenly realizing that Wyatt was a martial artist of the Original Pill Realm.

Immediately, a hint of deathly pallor appeared on her chubby face, while her obesity caused her body to tremble slightly.

Stepping forward, Wyatt held out his hand. An eight-grade spirit sword of azure color appeared out of thin air. Bathed in the moonlight that fell through the broken rooftop, it was radiating a chilly sheen...

"You little swine, I’ll kill you, to avenge my Avery!"

Flora Cloud gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling, as she rushed toward Wyatt, willing to risk her own life.
