Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 79 Johnathan Lee

Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Johnathan Lee

Even in the vast Aurora City and among the three major families, only a few of the Elders had strength surpassing Inky Simmons to some extent.

However.

Given Inky Simmons’ rank as a level 8 alchemist, and the backing of the Alchemist’s Guild, even the Elders of the three major families, had to treat him politely, addressing him as ’President Simmons’ upon meeting him.

"Hand me your crystal card."

Inky Simmons looked at Wyatt Barnes, extending his hand. He chose to compromise, albeit reluctantly.

What Wyatt Barnes had mentioned before, he had discovered as well.

However, without experience as a level 7 alchemist, he could only stumble along the path blindly.

Now, having the opportunity to break through to level 7, he naturally wouldn’t let it slip by.

In his view.

As long as he broke through to level 7, he could apply to the Alchemist’s Guild for a transfer, leaving this dreadful place.

Aurora City, in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, was just a small city.

Initially, had he not offended a man of power, he wouldn’t have ended up banished here.

As long as he broke through to level 7, that person would no longer be able to touch him.

Despite the marginal difference between a level 7 and level 8 alchemist, the gap was as vast as heaven and earth.

Across the vast Crimson Heaven Kingdom, there are thousands of registered level 8 alchemists in the Alchemist’s Guild.

However, there were only a few dozen level 7 alchemists.

Level 7 alchemists held a distinguished position. Even the Imperial Family of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom would extend an olive branch to them.

"Old man, rest easy. You won’t lose out."

With a smile playing at his lips, Wyatt Barnes handed over his crystal card.

Soon, the crystal card in Inky Simmons’ hand lit up, revealing the balance.

Ten thousand points.

Seeing this number, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but gulp.

You must understand, a hundred thousand silver coins are worth only 100 points.

This ten thousand points is equivalent to ten million silver coins, if converted...

Ten million silver coins...What kind of concept is that?

Soon, an additional 5000 points appeared on Wyatt Barnes’ crystal card, a total 5060 points.

"Old man, I originally planned to take only a third of your fortune... but since you charged me 10 points just to borrow your medicine tripod, I couldn’t be polite."

With a satisfied smile, Wyatt Barnes took back his crystal card.

Inky Simmons’ face twitched.

Did he just sacrifice nearly 2000 points for 10 points?

He was filled with regret!

"Pff!"

Jovie laughed, her face blossoming into a smile as she finally understood the meaning behind Wyatt Barnes’ earlier statement of "You mustn’t regret it."

It turns out, from the very beginning, he had everything calculated.

"Starting from tomorrow, come find me at the Lee Family house at noon... Oh yes, remember to eat before coming, I won’t be providing any meals over there."

Wyatt Barnes took Jovie’s hand and walked away from Inky Simmons.

Watching the two of them leave, Inky Simmons squinted his eyes.

When did the Lee Family start having such a figure?

On the way back.

"You were quite ruthless, straight up taking half of his points."

Jovie looked at Wyatt Barnes, chuckling.

However, seeing Inky Simmons lose out, she felt a great sense of pleasure.

"That’s what he deserved... An old medicine tripod that I casually used, and he took 10 points from me. That’s a whole ten thousand silver coins!"

Wyatt Barnes said with pain on his face.

"He claimed ten thousand silver coins, but lost five million... I wonder if he can sleep tonight."

Jovie broke into a laugh.

Wyatt Barnes was speechless.

"What are you looking at?"

Jovie feigned anger.

"Dear Jovie, you’re so beautiful."

Wyatt Barnes said with hopeful eyes.

"Pei! Who’s your wife, go find Keer."

"You’re so jealous, yet you won’t admit you’re my wife?"

"I am not!"

"Then I’ll have to go after Helen Sinclair..."

"You dare!"

...

In their playful banter, Wyatt Barnes and Jovie headed back to the Lee residence, Jovie’s home.

"Did you finish the concoction so fast?"

When the old man saw the three pill medicines Wyatt Barnes handed over, he was stunned.

"They are just level 9 medicine pills, it doesn’t take much time."

Wyatt Barnes replied, smiling slightly.

"Where did you get the medicine tripod? Don’t tell me, you made one yourself within this short time."

The old man looked at Wyatt Barnes as if he were an alien.

"Well, not exactly..."

Wyatt Barnes replied with an awkward laugh.

"Grandpa, he borrowed Inky Simmons’ medicine tripod from Aurora City’s Alchemist Guild... But that Inky Simmons is really stingy. He only borrowed the tripod for an hour, and he charged Wyatt ten thousand silver coins."

Jovie’s delicate brows furrowed, speaking with dissatisfaction.

"Not a big deal, it’s just ten thousand coins, I can afford it."

The old man said, again looking at Wyatt Barnes, "Wyatt, how much did you spend on these three medicine pills? I will pay you back."

"Grandpa, these are my gift to you. I wouldn’t dare accept your money."

As the old man spoke, Wyatt Barnes saw Jovie glaring at him with an "If you dare to accept my grandpa’s money, I won’t spare you" attitude.

"Haha... Indeed, after all, my money will be Jovie’s sooner or later."

The old man nodded, not insisting further.

In his heart, he already regarded Wyatt Barnes as his future grandson-in-law.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about, you will live a long and healthy life. And about this guy, he doesn’t lack money. He just took five million from Inky Simmons."

Jovie frowned slightly, her words turning Wyatt Barnes in instantly.

"Five million silver coins?"

The old man froze.

Despite being a nine-tier Artifact Refiner, his lifetime savings didn’t even account for five million dollars...

"What’s going on?"

The old man was also curious.

Jovie Lee explained everything in detail.

"Haha...So it seems that President Simmons has picked up a rock only to drop it on his own foot this time."

The old man couldn’t help but laugh.

Suddenly, his laughter subsided, and he looked solemnly at Wyatt Barnes, "Wyatt, you got lucky this time. This President Simmons is known for his good temper... Next time, you cannot continue to provoke other strong individuals like this... Otherwise, once they succeed in their objectives, if they turn against you, you will suffer more loss than gain."

"Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve got it under control."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, seemingly acknowledging the advice.

However, he was thinking of something else in his heart.

He had foreseen what the old man said and already devised a plan to keep himself safe.

In a spacious yard.

Buzz!

An incredibly fast figure dashed out, simultaneously pointing out with their right hand and emitted a piercing sound.

Dark Nether Finger!

The person who was practicing the technique was none other than Rayan Lee.

His right index finger had completely healed, and he was testing the extent of his recovery.

Clang!

As the Dark Nether Finger flew out, it clashed with a stone pillar in the courtyard.

Immediately, cracks began forming in the pillar centered on the point of impact, and it eventually exploded.

"Ah!"

Rayan Lee screamed and grabbed his right index finger, breaking out into a cold sweat.

"Ray, what happened?"

A tall, elderly man who was observing came over with a few traces of worry in his eyebrows.

It was Rayan Lee’s grandfather, the Grand Elder of the Lee family...

Johnathan Lee!

"Grandpa, my Dark Nether Finger technique is ruined!"

Rayan Lee turned pale, unable to accept this reality.

Only he knew how much effort he had put into practicing the Dark Nether Finger technique.

Finger techniques, while powerful, are ten times harder to master compared to regular martial techniques.

If instead he had used the same effort he used to practice the Dark Nether Finger technique on another high-tier Profound Level attack technique, it would have reached perfection by now.

"Ray, if you can’t use your right index finger, then use your left. Grandpa believes that you can always restore the Dark Nether Finger Technique to its former glory."

Johnathan Lee comforted him.

"That would mean I would have to start practicing the Dark Nether Technique all over again. Moreover, I’m not left-handed. Getting the Dark Nether Finger Technique to reach the great achievement realm again would be much more difficult than before."

Rayan Lee looked miserable, unwilling to admit defeat.

"It’s all because of that Wyatt Barnes! All because of him! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have broken my index finger! Grandpa, I want him dead, I want to kill him, I want him dead..."

Rayan Lee broke out in a fit of fury, his face twisted in rage and roared out his words.

Johnathan Lee took a deep breath, a glint of coldness flickering in his murky eyes.

Wyatt Barnes!

"Ray, relax, Grandpa will give you justice... He’s just a branch family member. If you want him dead, he won’t be able to live!"

The tone of Johnathan Lee’s voice revealed a hint of chill.

"Thank you Grandpa, thank you Grandpa."

Rayan Lee’s mood calmed down on hearing Johnathan Lee’s words.

Elsewhere.

After Wyatt Barnes had told the elder about how to take the Phosphorus Fire Pill, he returned home.

Just in time to see someone leave his courtyard.

"Young Master Wyatt."

The man smiled at Wyatt Barnes before leaving.

Wyatt Barnes recognized him as the man who had delivered the Hidden Dragon List to him before – a member from the Sinclair Clan.

He guessed the purpose of the man’s visit.

"The Sinclair family sure moves fast."

As Wyatt Barnes entered the main entrance, he saw his mother, Christina Lee, counting a pile of items, which were the rewards for ranking first in the Hidden Dragon List.

"Wyatt, you’re ranked number one on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Christina Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes as she returned, her expression a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

"Mom, are you not pleased?"

Wyatt Barnes grinned.

"Pleased, of course I am. My Wyatt, you sure are amazing..."

Christina Lee nodded with a smile.

She once again thought of her husband who had disappeared many years ago.

Her son had inherited his father’s martial arts talent.

"Little Black, where are you going?"

All of a sudden, Keer’s voice emerged from the room.

Zoom!

A streak of black lightning bolted out, coiling around Wyatt Barnes’s wrist.

It was the little black snake that had swallowed half of the Snow Serpent Clan’s core pill and slept for more than a month.

"Hiss~~"

The little black snake stuck out its tongue at Wyatt Barnes, seemingly joyful.

Wyatt Barnes noticed that the little black snake had changed.

The golden patterns on its body had deepened.

Its eyes had turned into a pair of ’golden pupils’, extremely sharp.

Besides, the speed of the little black snake was significantly quicker than its mother, the ’black python’.

"Little Black, it seems that you have metamorphosed."

Wyatt Barnes touched the little head of the black snake, with a slight smile on his face.

"Young Master."

At this moment, Keer also came out. The little white snake coiled around her hand perked up upon seeing Wyatt Barnes.

The little white snake, like the little black snake, had also undergone significant changes.

The silver patterns on its body were deepening as well.

Its eyes had turned into a pair of ’silver pupils’.
