Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 253: He, Must Die!

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: He, Must Die!

Just as the old man who was cut in half from the middle fell to the ground, both the middle-aged man and another elder in grayish clothes felt their pupils contract. Their faces turned crimson red and they felt like someone was choking them. They couldn’t breathe!

And just at the moment of their eyeballs bursting, they saw an extremely fast figure that arrived before them in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, their hearts felt as if they had completely stopped.

Whoosh!

Fill Bear lifted his hand and a flash of blue sword light passed which was wrapped in a bizarre and unpredictable aura.

Minute sword move!

A flash of the sword and two streams of blood sprayed out.

The middle-aged man and the elderly man in grayish clothes had a horrified look on their faces. Their bodies trembled and then thudded to the ground without making a sound.

Their eyes were wide open even in death.

Perhaps, they had never dreamed that someone so terrifying would be beside the young man in the purple robe whom they underrated...

"Peep...Peep Naught Realm Second Layer!"

Hidden in the distance, Colten Marston looked at the three thousand ancient giant elephant phantoms in the void. His face changed drastically, his body trembled, and his eyes were filled with terror and alarm.

He hadn’t expected that the three semi-Void Realm powerhouses would be killed in a flash.

What he hadn’t expected even more was that beside the young man in the purple robe was a peep naught realm powerhouse of the second layer!

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret.

He shouldn’t have been so greedy!

Now that he had not only lost over ten million taels of gold he coveted as ’in his pocket’, he had also offended this young man in the purple robe who had a Peep Naught Realm expert by his side.

"I hope he won’t hold a grudge..."

Although this possibility was extremely slim, Colten Marston couldn’t help but raise this thought.

After taking a deep breath, the anxious Colten Marston was cautiously preparing to leave.

However.

Whoosh!

Seeing the person blocking his path, Colton’s face changed entirely. His voice shook slightly, "Sir..."

Fill Bear stared blankly at Colton, paying no attention to him.

With a sneer on his face, Wyatt Barnes stepped out and came up to Colten Marston. He looked at him calmly, "Mr. Marston, all’s well I hope..."

Thud!

Seeing Wyatt Barnes, Colten felt as if he had seen the devil. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling, "Sir, spare me! I shouldn’t have been greedy. I shouldn’t have told them your whereabouts... I was wrong, sir, please spare me."

"Hmm!"

Wyatt swept a cold glance at Colten, beckoned to two young girls, and walked back toward the Marston Family Auction House.

"Fill Bear, bring him... The Marston Clan, I demand an explanation from them today!"

When Wyatt’s voice came over, Colten’s face turned deathly pale.

If this incident alerted the family, he could well imagine his fate...

What matters most in an auction house is its reputation.

And now, for his personal desires, he had single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the Marston Family Auction House!

Inside the auction house, all the guests had left, only members of the Marston Clan remained.

At the backstage of the auction house hall, four elders gathered.

"Elder Cruz, you must have been astonished when you saw the Strong Origin Pill of ’ninety-one percent’ purity today, right?"

An old man in red robust attire looked at Orion Cruz and laughed.

"What’s there to ask? A Strong Origin Pill with ’ninety-one percent’ purity... But that young man was quite lucky to get such a pill and earn eight million taels of gold."

Another old man in blue nodded, his face showing envy.

"It’s a pity that we didn’t collect a handling fee from that young man... that would have been eight hundred thousand taels of gold."

The old man in yellow sighed, a look of regret on his face.

"Humph, shortsighted! With the sale of the ’ninety-one percent’ purity Strong Origin Pill, our Marston Family Auction House’s reputation will rise with it. Are you still worried that we won’t earn back a mere eighty thousand taels of gold in the future?"

Orion Cruz sneered at the old man in the yellow robe.

"Does your Marston Family Auction House still have a reputation to speak of?"

Just then, a cold voice sounded, changing the expressions of the four elders including Orion Cruz.

Wyatt Barnes walked into the backstage.

"It’s you!"

Orion Cruz recognized Wyatt Barnes, his eyes narrowed, "What did you mean by what you just said?".

"Elder Cruz, who is he?"

The other three elders looked at Wyatt Barnes, brow furrowed, unhappy with his words.

"He is the one who consigned the Strong Origin Pill of ’ninety-one percent’ purity."

Orion Cruz responded after catching his breath.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, all three elders were surprised and looked at Wyatt Barnes.

"You’re asking me what I meant by my words just now?"

Wyatt Barnes turned to Orion Cruz, speaking vaguely, "I’m even more curious about the Marston Family Auction House... Fill Bear, bring him in."

Fill Bear walked in, a middle-aged man tethered in his hands.

The middle-aged man looked pale as a ghost. Seeing Orion Cruz and his group, he dashed his glance off them, a visible shroud of fear apparent...

"Manager Marston?"

Upon seeing Colten Marston held in Fill Bear’s hands, Orion Cruz frowned, turning to Wyatt Barnes, "Guest, don’t you think you’re going a bit far?"

"Let him go!"

The fiery-tempered old man in red clothes glared fiercely, stepping forward, intending to snatch Colten Marston from Fill Bear’s hands.

Above his head in the void, phantom images of one hundred and fifty ancient mammoths formed together!

Clearly, an existence of a ’Half-step Void Realm.’"

"Humph!"

Fill Bear’s eyes turned cold, raising his hand, the power of over two thousand ancient mammoths unleashed. His Origin Force formed into a palm print, striking the old man in red, blowing him away.

Boom!

The old man in red crashed violently against the wall, immediately, a monstrous array of cracks emerged on it.

Puff!

The old man in red spat out a mouthful of coagulated blood, looking at the phantoms of over two thousand ancient mammoths flashing briefly above Fill Bear’s head, his face changed dramatically, "Peep...Peep Naught Realm!"

Not only was the old man in red startled, including Orion Cruz, the faces of three old men also changed drastically.

"Three Half-step Void Realm beings....impressive."

Wyatt’s gaze swept over the three old men, scrutinizing, with a slow nod of approval.

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words and seeing his attitude, three elders turned a ghastly pale.

However, when their gazes fell on Fill Bear, they suppressed their rising anger.

Endure!

They could only endure.

Against the existence of a Peep Naught Realm being, not just the three of them, even the entire Marston Clan, would find it hard to compete.

"You just asked me if I was going overboard?"

Against the three silent elders, Wyatt Barnes didn’t seem surprised. Their fear of Fill Bear was enough to crumble their courage. Wyatt’s gaze quickly fell on Orion Cruz, and he spoke lightly.

Orion Cruz grimaced, but still swallowed a deep breath, asking, "Guest, I want to know, why are you doing this?"

"Why am I doing this?"

Wyatt’s eyes glazed over with cold intent, he glanced at Colten Marston in Fill Bear’s grip, "You can let him explain."

Suddenly, Orion Cruz turned his attention to Colten Marston, "Manager Marston, what is going on?"

Colten’s face turned deathly pale, how was he supposed to explain?

Should he confess that he was consumed by the wealth possessed by the young man in the purple robe? That he conspired with others to kill the young man and seize everything the youth possessed?

"Colten Marston!"

The other three elders, all beings of Half-step Void Realm, and venerable elders of the Marston Clan, now fixated their attention on Colton Marston.

Colton inhaled deeply, he knew he had to explain, rapidly saying, "Honorable elders, Mr. Cruz, this is what happened... During tonight’s auction, ’Gideon Summer’ of the ’Magnolia Chamber of Commerce’ attended in VIP room number seven, he was interested in the ’Golden Fur Mice’ auctioned by our guest."

"As the auction was about to end, he found me and made a promise. As long as I disclosed the whereabouts of our guest, after killing him, as long as the Golden Fur Mice offspring...all the wealth of our guest would be mine."

Upon reaching this point, a bitter smile emerged on Colten’s face.

The faces of Orion Cruz and the other three elders had changed drastically halfway through Colten’s revelation.

After listening to Colten’s confession, their expressions turned thunderous, berating Colten, "Marston, as the manager of Marston’s Auction House, not only have you failed to lead by example, you even colluded with outsiders against our guest...laying our Auction House and the family to ruin?"

Although Colten did not elaborate on the events that followed, they could guess the general context that Gideon of the ’Magnolia Chamber of Commerce’ was probably in grave danger.

Colten drooped his shoulder, looking like a man who had lost all his strength.

He knew, even if the young man in purple didn’t kill him today, even if he could evade death, he could not evade the heavy punishment from his clan.

His life was utterly ruined.

Everything ruined by his ’greed’.

If god could give him another chance, he wouldn’t dare to harbor such greed again, even if it killed him.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world.

"Do you understand now?"

Wyatt’s gaze swept over the four elders, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smirk. "Now, do you still think I’m overreacting?"

The corners of the four elders’ mouths curled into a bitter smile. Orion inhaled deeply, "Guest, this mistake lies with the Marston’s Auction House, as long as you are willing to let the matter rest lightly, we are willing to compensate you."

"Yes."

The other three elders hurriedly nodded.

For them, if it was just an ordinary young man, they could consider it. But beside him stood a formidable ’Peep Naught Realm’ powerhouse.

If they were to invoke his wrath, not to mention that they would most certainly die, even the Marston family would not escape catastrophe.

"Compensation?"

Wyatt suddenly burst into laughter, "If there’s compensation... then everything can be pleasantly resolved. However, let me make it clear, you can consider the big issue as a minor one and the minor issue as naught... but he... he must die!"

Upon reaching this point, Wyatt’s gaze fell onto Colten Marston.

The sound of Wyatt’s words fell into Colten’s ears like a death sentence, causing his face to flush, "Please, spare my life!"
