Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 29: Mind Made Up

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Mind Made Up

"Boss, tomorrow’s the day you agreed to go to the Garcia Clan three months ago, are you really going?"

On their route back from the Martial Arts Performance Field, a plump young boy asked the teenager next to him with a serious expression.

The teenager smiled faintly, "Of course, I am."

In his past life of over twenty years, he had always been a man of his word. He never had a habit of taking back what he’d said.

That was also his rule of dealing with affairs.

If that changed, then he wouldn’t be the Wyatt who once shook the world.

The chubby boy fell silent, and after a moment, asked again, "Boss, are you confident about this?"

The teenager shrugged, a smile playing on his lips, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"

"The truth, of course!"

The chubby boy said earnestly.

"I’m not absolutely confident."

The teenager’s eyes flickered as he gently shook his head.

"Boss, if you’re not confident, maybe you shouldn’t go tomorrow... You’re only fifteen, the same age as Strength Garcia’s son. No one will mock you for not daring to confront Strength Garcia."

Worry flickered across the chubby boy’s face, he advised sincerely.

"Darren Lee."

The teenager suddenly spoke.

"Boss, I’m here."

The chubby boy hastily responded.

"Remember, as a man, you need to be responsible. There’s no reason to go back on a promise. This time, if I don’t go, it would go against my principles. I might be haunted by this for my entire life, because I was cowardly, scared... So even without absolute confidence, I’ll still go!"

The teenager turned serious and said slowly.

A young girl next to the teenager, with autumn-like eyes, affectionately watched him.

She found that at this moment, there was a certain indescribable charisma on this teenager, touching the chord deep within her heart.

Causing her to fall deep within, unable to help herself.

"Boss, I can’t argue with you, you always have your reasons."

The chubby boy said with a bitter smile, "But this time, you really need to listen to me, stay serious! You already know, that Strength Garcia is no longer just te..."

"Enough of the nonsense, you should pay more to your own affairs, I don’t need you worry about mine!"

The teenager’s eyebrows tightened and he gave the chubby boy a glare, interrupting him.

This guy really had no filter.

The chubby boy finally realised the existence of the young girl and gave an awkward smile.

After sending the chubby boy away, the teenager led the young girl into their large courtyard.

At this moment, worry clouded over the girl’s delicate face. Her gentle gaze settled on the teenager. "Young Master, are you really not confident?"

The teenager gave her a gentle smile, lightly caressing her velvety and soft face. "Silly girl, I’m just saying I’m not entirely confident! Don’t worry, no matter what, your Young Master won’t be in danger. Even if I’m outmatched, I will make a safe retreat. I can’t bear to leave my Keer."

The girl’s eyebrows twitched subtly, tears welled up in her autumn-like eyes. She suddenly threw herself into the teenager’s arms, sobbing, "Young Master, if anything happens to you... Keer... Keer can’t live alone."

The girl’s words, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Wyatt Barnes’ chest, making his heart tremble...

Two lives he lived as a man, naturally he can tell that the girl was telling the truth, without a hint of lies!

This very moment, his eyes, which used to be devoid of any emotional displays but bloodshed, became moist.

He held the girl tightly in his arms and said softly, "Silly girl, don’t you trust your Young Master?"

The girl nodded, tears pooling in her eyes, "Keer is just afraid...afraid that the young master will leave Keer, without you, there is no meaning to my life."

Ever since Wyatt Barnes brought her home and took care of her like family, she made a pledge in her heart.

This life was only for her Young Master.

Even if the Young Master has a wife and children in the future, she would silently stay by his side, willingly serving him, taking care of him until she’s old.

Until she breathes her last breath...

For this man, she had no regrets in this life.

"Alright, look at you, you’ve even cried like a kitten."

After wiping off her tears, Wyatt Barnes smiled and said, "Once mom comes back and sees you in this state, she would definitely think I bullied you. You know, in her heart, the status of her future daughter-in-law is higher than her blood-related son like me."

"Young Master, you’re so naughty, teasing Keer again."

The girl left Wyatt Barnes’ embrace, blushing. She ran into the room and shut the door.

"That girl, getting shy again."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and laughed. Then his eyes revealed a determination that had never been seen before.

For Keer, for mother, and for himself, he couldn’t afford to be hurt.

"Strength Garcia, you’re as good as dead!"

A cold light flashed in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, revealing an endless chill.

The Lee family residence, the large courtyard belonging to Moshe Lee of the Fifth Elder.

Moshe Lee entered his home with a strange look on his face. Seeing his son daydreaming in the courtyard, he couldn’t help but laugh and scold, "How did you manage to do it? Louis Lee actually lost to you twice."

He knew that his son had hurt Louis Lee half a month ago, and at that time he found it strange.

When he went to apologize to Second Elder Lee Sheng, he heard Louis Lee shouting that his Thunder-Fire Pill syndrome had suddenly acted up again.

Knowing full well the weight and measure of his own son, he naturally believed it to be true.

But this time, Louis Lee voluntarily challenged his son and was injured by him, leaving him speechless for a while.

He had just returned from the Second Elder’s place when Louis Lee claimed relapse from Thunder-Fire Pill syndrome again and was scolded by the Second Elder...

On his way home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something amiss.

Though his son’s repeated victories over Louis Lee filled him with pride, he always had a feeling that things around this matter were not as simple as they seemed.

"Novah, what’s wrong with you?"

Soon, Moshe Lee noticed that his son seemed preoccupied, a sharp contrast to the proud boy who had defeated Louis Lee half a month ago.

To be noted, his son was usually cheerful and would act like nothing had happened even if he was taught a lesson by the clan’s descendants outside.

What was wrong with him today?

Was he not happy about defeating Louis Lee?

Moshe Lee couldn’t help asking: "Novah, is something bothering you? You’ve been frowning all the time."

Darren Lee came back to his senses, gritted his teeth, as if having made a great resolution. He looked up at Moshe Lee and said seriously: "Dad, I’ve got something I need to tell you... but, the Grand Elder cannot know about this. Otherwise, the eldest would definitely disown me as his brother!"

Moshe Lee frowned, "What is it? Speak up!"

Darren Lee quickly recounted what he overheard about the Garcia Clan a half month ago, lamenting, "The eldest forbade me to tell anyone, so I’ve been keeping it a secret. But the eldest is going to the Garcia Clan tomorrow, even though he has broken through to the seventh level of Body Tempering Realm, how can he withstand Strength Garcia who has stepped into the Condensed Pill Realm!"

"Strength Garcia, Condensed Pill Realm?"

Upon hearing his son’s words, Moshe Lee’s face changed drastically, he exclaimed: "You reckless boy, you dared to hide such a big issue. Wait till I report to the clan lord, then I will teach you a lesson."

Having said that, Moshe Lee left in a hurry.

Only Darren Lee was left, mumbling to himself with a pouty face, "Eldest brother, don’t blame me, I was just worrying about you. Even if you resent me or hate me afterwards, I will accept it."

By the evening, when Clan lord Jeremy Lee sent for Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt was taken aback.

In the Lee Family’s grand hall, he saw not only Jeremy Lee but also Grand Elder Kayson Lee and Fifth Elder Moshe Lee, a realization dawned upon him the moment he saw them. They must have known what happened.

It must have been that blabbermouth’s doing.

"Greetings to the Clan Lord, the Grand Elder and the Fifth Elder."

Wyatt Barnes paid respect to each of them.

"Wyatt Barnes, do you know why we asked for you?"

Jeremy Lee squinted his eyes and asked slowly.

"The Clan Lord must be bringing up Strength Garcia stepping into the Body Tempering Realm, correct?"

Wyatt Barnes cut straight to the chase.

"You’re talented and smart... However, did you give enough thought to this matter?"

Jeremy Lee sighed.

Wyatt Barnes is a treasure for the Lee Family. As long as he is around, the Six-Jewel Body Tempering Fluid won’t cease to exist.

The Six-Jewel Body Tempering Fluid is crucial for the Lee family’s significance, which combined with Thunder-Fire Pill, has led to a rapid growth in strength among the descendants of the elders, significantly widening the gap between the young of Lee, Garcia, and Chan families.

"My Lord, a real man does what he sees fit and abstains from what doesn’t. The situation tomorrow is something I pledged in front of you. A promise made by a man of honor is more valuable than a thousand gold. If you called me here to persuade me to break my promise, I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you."

"You..."

Jeremy Lee became aghast.

Wyatt’s words were sharp and comprehensive, which left him confused about any potential advice.

"Young man, don’t take this lightly. With your current skills and quick swordsmanship, you might be able to defeat the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, but the first level of the Condensed Pill Realm with the strength of two ancient elephants is far beyond the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm."

Grand Elder Kayson Lee also spoke up, hoping to discourage Wyatt from going to Garcia Clan tomorrow.

"Thank you very much, Grand Elder, for your concern."

The gratitude surfaced on Wyatt’s face, yet his gaze remained as determined as ever with absolutely no change.

"Forget it..."

After a long gaze, Kayson Lee sighed, "Clan lord, since he has made up his mind, let him do as he wishes."

"Grand Elder!"

Jeremy Lee and Moshe Lee were stunned.

"Thank you, Grand Elder!"

A smile crept onto Wyatt’s face. He gratefully glanced at Kayson Lee and then at Jeremy Lee and Moshe Lee, "Clan Lord, Fifth Elder, before I step into the Garcia Clan tomorrow, please do not tell my mother about this. Thanks in advance."

After his farewell, Wyatt turned to leave, looking breezy and uninhibited.

"Grand Elder, why did you allow him to go?"

Moshe Lee had a bitter smile on his face, puzzled by the decision of the Grand Elder.

Jeremy Lee also looked at Kayson Lee. He had the same question.

"Moshe, you saw the young man’s attitude as well. Do you think we can stop him? Are you suggesting that we should put him under house arrest? This is the path he chose. Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices, and he is no exception."

Kayson Lee stood up, ready to leave.

Before departing, he added, "Tomorrow, I will also make the trip, hidden in plain sight. For the sake of the Lee family, I don’t mind putting my reputation on the line."
