Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 855: Pathetic

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Pathetic

"No wonder the people of ’Drifting Cloud Town’ say you are worse than a beast, their words couldn’t be more accurate."

Wyatt Barnes watched Shen An with a laugh, a coldness forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Wyatt Barnes, if I were you, I’d be rushing to save my own life right now, instead of wasting time here... but even if you managed to escape ’Drifting Cloud Town’, it’s doubtful you’d escape the palm of Senior Colby!"

After restraining his wanton laughter, Shen An looked at Wyatt Barnes as if looking at a dead man.

"Do you really think... a venerable Five Elements Sect elder would be so brainless?"

Wyatt Barnes suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent shivers down Shen An’s spine, prompting him to demand coldly, "What do you mean by that?!"

"What do I mean?"

Wyatt Barnes looked deeply at Shen An, "What I mean, don’t you understand better than anyone? Maybe I injured your brother, but why did I injure your brother? Do you think the elder of the Five Elements Sect won’t find out it was you who betrayed your own brother?"

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Having been hit where it hurt by Wyatt Barnes, Shen An’s face drastically changed color as he roared angrily, as if attempting to cover up his own guilt with his loud voice.

"Talking nonsense?"

The smile on Wyatt Barnes’s face became even more radiant before he added, "Well then... I’ll accompany you to the Walton Family! Let’s see if the elder of the Five Elements Sect hates you, the instigator, more or me, the one who laid hands on your brother."

"You... You dare to go to our Walton Family?"

Shen An’s pupils constricted as he cried out in shock, "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

"Die? Even if death were on the line, shouldn’t you be dying before me? I’m quite curious, what kind of expression will the elder of the Five Elements Sect have upon discovering his most cherished disciple was harmed by his own younger brother?"

The smile on Wyatt Barnes’s face remained unchanged.

"You... You’re a madman! You’re a madman!"

Shen An’s face was incredibly somber; indeed he was genuinely worried that Wyatt Barnes would actually accompany him back to the Walton Family.

He originally thought his plan was foolproof. Once he brought his grievously injured elder brother back to the Walton Family, and if Wyatt Barnes had fled, his brother’s master, the Five Elements Sect’s Elder ’Briggs Colby’, would have gone to great lengths to hunt Wyatt down.

In that case, Wyatt Barnes might not even have a chance to speak before he was killed by Briggs Colby.

But now, the development of the situation had not followed the ’plan’ in his heart. Perhaps the person standing in front of him was too calm, alarmingly so, frightening him.

"Headmaster Wood, go and call Daisy over... We’re going to make a trip to the Walton Family together! Didn’t this Second Young Master Walton say that I took his fiancée by force? We’ll confront him in front of the elder of the Five Elements Sect. I simply refuse to believe that all members of the Walton Family will collaborate with him."

By the end of his speech, a trace of mockery formed at the corner of Wyatt Barnes’s mouth.

As the head of the Wood Family, Noah Wood was certainly not a fool. He vaguely guessed something from what Wyatt Barnes had said earlier.

"Alright! I’ll go fetch Daisy right away."

Upon saying this, Noah Wood turned into a lightning bolt, heading towards the courtyard where Daisy Wood resided.

Above the void, Shen An’s expression was unsightly as he looked at Wyatt Barnes and sternly said, "Wyatt Barnes, what exactly do you want to do? What are you trying to achieve?"

"What do I want to do? What am I trying to achieve?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Shen An as though he were looking at an idiot, replying coldly with a laugh, "Second Young Master Walton, shouldn’t that be what I’m asking you? I’d like to ask you, what are you trying to achieve? What do you want to do?"

"Considering the face of your father, all the things you did in the past, I let them go... But what have you done now? Deceiving your own elder brother, using him against me, do you really think I, Wyatt Barnes, am an idiot like you, who would fall for the trap you’ve set up?"

Towards the end, Wyatt Barnes slowly spat out two words, "Idiot!"

Idiot!

The voice of Wyatt Barnes resonated like the sound of a great bell, causing Shen An’s face to change and turn deathly pale.

Every word spoken by Wyatt Barnes was like a giant hammer forcibly striking his chest, making his breathing increasingly rapid.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Finally, Shen An took a deep breath and slowly said, "As for today’s matter, as long as you ensure the Wood Family keeps silent, I won’t hold it against you... As for my brother, I will say he was severely injured by some mysterious strong person."

With such words, Shen An was clearly caving in, also acknowledging the failure of his plan.

"Oh?"

Wyatt Barnes was greatly surprised upon hearing Shen An’s words and curiously asked, "But your brother was clearly injured by me... he knows it was me, and sooner or later, won’t the elder of the Five Elements Sect find out anyway?"

"My brother loves me the most. As long as I apologizes to him, he will surely side with me and absolutely not betray you," Shen An said sternly.

Shen An’s words made Wyatt Barnes’s gaze involuntarily fall on the severely injured and unconscious Noel Walton, with a touch of pity shining in his eyes.

In his opinion, it was a sad fate for Noel Walton to have such a brother!

His brother was fully using the love he had for him as a tool to be exploited, which was pitiful.

"I truly feel sorry for your brother."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, speaking from the heart.

"None of this is your concern... Anyway, in the future, you go your way, I’ll cross my bridge, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other!"

Having said this, Shen An tried to leave with the passed-out Noel Walton.

Whoosh!

Wyatt Barnes swiftly moved, blocking Shen An once again.

Shen An’s face darkened, and he angrily said, "Wyatt Barnes, do you really think escalating this matter will be beneficial for you? Let me tell you, even if my brother’s master learns the whole truth, with my brother covering for me, he won’t kill me! You on the other hand, are in much more danger than I am."

"Is that so? Then I shall accompany you."

Wyatt Barnes laughed, a fearless laugh.

"Madman! You’re a fucking madman!"

Esteban Walton roared with an impassive face.

He had said what he said, but in reality, he was just as uncertain; who knew whether his brother’s master would kill him in a fit of rage before his brother woke up?

"What exactly do you want, to let today’s matter rest?"

Esteban Walton took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

Wyatt Barnes did not pay attention to him, but instead looked towards the two figures approaching from afar. Noah Wood, the head of the Wood Family, was flying toward them with Daisy Wood, rapidly approaching above the grand hall of the Wood Family.

"Brother Barnes."

Daisy did not look at Esteban Walton but turned towards Wyatt Barnes. With a worried face, she asked, "I heard from my father that you injured Noel Walton and are going to the Walton Family?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded with a smile, "You should come with me. There may be some matters that require your intervention."

After speaking, Wyatt Barnes looked at Esteban Walton, and with a raise of his hand, he controlled him, took him and the unconscious Noel Walton, and flew towards the Walton Family’s direction.

Behind them, Noah Wood followed with Daisy who had not yet entered the Peep Naught Realm and thus could not fly on her own.

The rest of the Wood Family elders and disciples all sighed in admiration.

"It’s still Young Master Barnes who has a way!"

"That spoiled brat from the Walton Family has been completely at Young Master Barnes’ mercy from start to finish!"

...

One after another, the Wood Family disciples looked up admiringly at the receding figure of Wyatt Barnes, not regaining their senses until he had disappeared from view.

"Brother Barnes..."

Worry tinged Daisy’s brow as she feared for Wyatt Barnes’ safety.

"Daisy, don’t worry... Since Brother Barnes has made such a decision, I believe he must have calculated it well and will be fine," Noah Wood consoled her, even though he himself also felt unease. However, out of trust for Wyatt Barnes, he couldn’t help but speak up.

Remember, the last time he and Wyatt Barnes went to the Walton Family to call off the engagement, he felt even worse than now when he saw that Wyatt Barnes was not as strong as the Walton Family’s elder. But subsequently, Wyatt Barnes played the elder for a fool with his unfathomable methods, instantly lifting Noah Wood’s spirits from hell to heaven.

"Okay."

Daisy nodded upon hearing Noah Wood’s words of comfort.

"Wyatt Barnes, let me go! Let me go!"

Esteban Walton, controlled by Wyatt Barnes and being taken towards the Walton Family estate, howled all the way, his face twisted with ferocity.

Wyatt Barnes, however, couldn’t be bothered with him.

"Wyatt Barnes, if you let me go, not only will I completely disassociate you from this matter, but I also swear I will never do evil again... Really! Believe me! Believe me!"

Having found that being tough did not work, Esteban Walton chose to take a softer approach.

Unfortunately, Wyatt Barnes was impervious to either approach.

Moments later, Wyatt Barnes once again arrived above the Walton Family estate.

The reason he wanted to make a big deal out of the situation was twofold, first to teach Esteban Walton a lesson, and second, to join the ’Five Elements Sect’ through the sect’s elder and then head to the ’Secret Trove’ left by a Martial Emperor, to meet up with Winnie and the others.

For that reason, when he gravely injured Noel Walton, he did not go for the kill.

Noel Walton’s injuries looked severe, but with the right healing Pill Medicine and some recuperation, he would fully recover in at most half a month.

The Walton Family’s grand hall.

Elder Briggs Colby of the Five Elements Sect had just finished a meal accompanied by the Walton Family’s top echelons and was sitting at the head of the grand hall.

Family Head Adan Walton and a group of Walton Family elders were seated below him.

"Noel really... It’s so rare for him to come back, yet he missed the welcome banquet we prepared for Elder Colby."

Adan Walton looked at Briggs Colby with an apologetic face, "Elder Colby, I’m truly sorry. It must be my youngest son dragging Noel out. When he returns, I will surely discipline him well!"

"It’s no bother."

Briggs Colby shook his head and chuckled, "Noel has not been back for four years; let him roam around Drifting Cloud Town for now... after all, we are leaving tomorrow."

"So soon?"

Adan Walton exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Colby, I wanted to host you properly. Why don’t you stay a few more days?"

"Family Head Walton, the reason I took Noel out was that we truly have urgent business. Due to certain reasons, our Five Elements Sect urgently needs to recruit a batch of Cave Void Realm martial artists under forty years of age, and up to now, our Woodson Peak has only recruited two, far from our target," Briggs Colby lamented, sighing, "Our time is very tight."

"Cave Void Realm martial artists under forty years old?"

Those words from Briggs Colby made Adan Walton’s eyes light up, "Elder Colby, now that you mention it, I think of someone... perhaps, I can help recommend him to join the Five Elements Sect."
