Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 86: Lee Family Shaken

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Lee Family Shaken

"Alright, I’ll handle this matter myself."

After hearing Shally Don’s apprehensive words, Wyatt Barnes nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

After farewelling Shally, Wyatt returned to the Lee Family’s mansion.

Everything was like usual.

However, in the afternoon, the Lee Family mansion was completely shaken.

The Grand Elder of the Lee Family had died in the Misty Forest...

Wyatt had no initial intention to join the crowd, but Jovie Lee ’dragged’ him and Keer out.

The Lee Family mansion, the outer courtyard’s Martial Arts Performance Field, was now surrounded by people.

Seeing Wyatt coming over, the crowd automatically parted a path for him.

For Wyatt, the first on the Hidden Dragon List and the future pillar of the Lee Family, anyone had to give him some respect.

"Jovie, did you bring me here just to help you make a way?"

The corner of Wyatt’s mouth slightly twitched, asking with some doubt.

"Not at all. Don’t you want to join the scene? It’s rumored that the body of the Grand Elder was discovered by the members of the King Family from Victory City... Alas, with the death of the Grand Elder, Rayan Lee is completely helpless now."

Toward the end, Jovie Lee’s gaze was somewhat complex.

"What, you care about him?"

Wyatt’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

"No, I am just feeling a bit emotional... Rayan Lee is the same as I am. His parents also died in that disaster years ago, and he has been relying on his grandfather ever since."

Jovie Lee shook her head.

"I see."

Wyatt nodded.

At this time, he also stood in the front of the crowd with Jovie Lee and Keer.

In the martial arts field, a group of elders of the Lee Family stood behind Atticus Lee.

On the other side opposite to them stood seven young men and women.

These seven were the descendants of the King Family whom Wyatt had seen in the Misty Forest this morning.

In between these two groups, laid the body of the Grand Elder ’Johnathan Lee’. He had been brutally murdered, with his right hand severed at the wrist, and his throat slit.

Atticus Lee and a group of elders of the Lee Family all had grim expressions.

"Nephews, when you found the body of the Grand Elder, was there anything else noteworthy in the surroundings?"

Atticus Lee asked the seven people of the King Family.

"Clan Chief Lee, we have looked around, and didn’t find anything."

A member of the King Family answered.

"Thank you, nephews, for your hard work. This matter is of great importance, the Lee Family did not have the time to entertain you ... please think of these Ascension Pills as a token of my gratitude."

Atticus Lee took out a bottle of Ascension Pills and handed them over.

The members of the King Family accepted the medicine, their faces showing delight.

"Clan Chief Lee, we understand, goodbye."

The seven members of the King Family left swiftly, just like the wind.

"Grandfather!"

Suddenly, a mournful wail came from the edge of the crowd.

A young man dressed in white plunged into the crowd, kneelt beside Johnathan’s corpse, shaking from head to toe, he wept bitterly.

It was Rayan Lee.

"Rayan, restrain your grief... This matter, our Lee Family will surely investigate thoroughly and get justice for the Grand Elder."

Clan Chief Atticus Lee comforted.

"Investigate? No need to investigate, I know who the murderer is!"

Rayan Lee’s eyes were bloodshot, as he lifted his head, his face showing a grimace of rage.

"You know?"

Atticus Lee was shocked.

"Rayan, if you know, just say it... I want to know too, who is so audacious to dare to kill the Grand Elder of our Lee Family, as if our Lee Family were a sick cat."

An elder standing behind Atticus Lee spoke, his voice was low, filled with endless anger.

"Yes! Killing the Grand Elder is no different from slapping the Lee Family on the face. Rayan, there’s no need to be afraid, just say it."

"I also want to know, who on earth had the audacity!"

"If I find that person, I will crush him to pieces!"

...

One after another, the elders of the Lee family voiced their anger.

One after another, gazes from the crowd fell on Rayan Lee.

Everyone wanted to know.

Who was the ’murderer’ that Rayan Lee referred to?

Finally, Rayan’s eyes swept past every person in the crowd...

Until at last, they stopped on a figure dressed in purple.

"Clan Chief, it’s him, Wyatt Barnes!"

Rayan Lee pointed at the figure wearing purple in the distance, filled with anger.

As Rayan immediately pointed towards him and even called him the murderer, Wyatt’s expression remained unchanged. He calmly stared back at Rayan.

Dignified, neither servile nor overbearing.

Upon hearing Rayan’s words, everyone in attendance turned their gazes in the direction that Rayan was pointing at, towards the figure in purple.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic.

"Has Rayan gone mad, claiming that the murderer is Wyatt Barnes?"

"What a joke. Even though Wyatt Barnes consumed the spirit fruit and his physical strength exceeds ordinary people by two ancient mammoth strengths, and even though he has now broken through the Condensed Pill Realm, his strength is only comparable to a third level martial artist in the Condensed Pill Realm."

"A third-level martial artist in the Condensed Pill Realm killing the Grand Elder who was in the eighth level of the Original Pill Realm? Rayan is truly outlandish."

"Could it be that he has gone mad from the shock of the Grand Elder’s death? Wyatt Barnes, how is that possible?"

"Could this Rayan be thinking of taking personal revenge? It is rumoured that during the contest for this session’s Hidden Dragon List, due to his oppressive manner, Wyatt even broke one of his fingers... Could it be because of this?"

"Even if he wants to take personal revenge, he should find a reasonable excuse."

"Exactly, accusing Wyatt Barnes as the murderer, who would believe it?"

...

The crowd’s discussion reached Rayan’s ears, making his face turn iron green.

"I did not lie! Wyatt Barnes is the murderer, he’s the murderer!"

Rayan roared, suddenly standing up. His body moved, all three mammoth strengths erupted, and he charged at Wyatt in fury.

Dragon Wandering Step!

Dark Nether Finger!

As soon as he made a move, he was on the kill, aiming straight for Wyatt Barnes’ weak points.

"Rayan Lee!"

Clan Chief Atticus Lee’s face darkened as he gave a low reprimand.

However, at this point, how could Rayan Lee pay attention to Atticus Lee?

"Overestimating your strength!"

Wyatt Barnes’ gaze grew cold. He stepped forward and didn’t even bother using martial skills, lazily waving a fist.

Four phantom forms of ancient colossal elephants began to condense above his head.

Bang!

One punch, faster than Rayan Lee’s finger technique, sent Rayan Lee flying.

Rayan Lee landed with a crash, his face pale.

He struggled to stand up, intending to strike again.

"That’s enough!"

Atticus Lee’s towering figure stood in front of Rayan Lee, his gaze was cold. "Rayan Lee, if you can present solid evidence, then speak...if you want to use the death of the Grand Elder to vent personal grudges against Wyatt Barnes with public power, I will punish you according to clan rules right now! Don’t forget, the Grand Elder is your grandfather. With his body not yet cold, you are busy seeking personal revenge, how can he rest in peace under the nine springs?"

"Clan Chief!"

Rayan Lee kneeled on the ground in grief, "I’m not using public power for personal revenge, every word I’ve said is true."

"Then do tell, why do you say Wyatt Barnes is the murderer?" Atticus Lee asked in a deep voice.

All eyes were on Atticus Lee.

"Clan Chief, now that my grandfather is dead, I will no longer keep some things hidden."

Rayan Lee took a deep breath and slowly said, "During the last genius gathering, Wyatt Barnes severed one of my fingers, almost obliterating my ’Dark Nether Finger’. My grandfather was very angry about it and threatened to teach Wyatt Barnes a lesson several times..."

After hearing Rayan Lee’s words, Atticus’s face turned sour.

Johnathan Lee, no matter what, he was the Grand Elder of the Lee Family, but to bear such a narrow-minded demeanor!

The genius gathering, the contest for the Hidden Dragon List, were all approved by the three big families of Aurora City and couldn’t have been more fair.

Injuries were inevitable during martial arts sparring.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"So that’s who the Grand Elder was."

"I thought the Grand Elder was different from us, turns out he’s just the same. In fact, he’s even more self-interested... Rayan Lee was injured by Wyatt Barnes at the Genius Gathering, many witnessed it, Rayan Lee was the one who started the aggression, Wyatt Barnes was innocent."

"Think about it, Rayan Lee is his only grandson after all."

"Hmph! I used up all my respect for the Grand Elder and this is what he turns out to be."

...

Wyatt Barnes had a strange look on his face.

Was this Rayan Lee an idiot?

His grandfather’s dead and he’s still tarnishing his grandfather’s name...

You could imagine that if Johnathan Lee were to rise from the dead, he would most likely be angered to death by Rayan Lee.

However.

The Rayan Lee at this moment had lost all rationality and continued saying, "These few days, I noticed that Wyatt Barnes would visit the Misty Forest every day, so I told my grandfather. Early this morning, my grandfather followed Wyatt Barnes... But I never expected, what I would await would be my grandfather’s corpse."

"Clan Chief, you tell me, if the murderer is not Wyatt Barnes, then who could it be?"

Rayan Lee hysterically exclaimed.

But he did not notice that Atticus Lee’s face had grown grim.

Whoosh!

Almost as soon as the words came out from Rayan Lee, the crowd erupted anew.

"Following Wyatt Barnes to the Misty Forest? This doesn’t sound like just a simple plan to teach Wyatt Barnes a lesson."

"If Wyatt Barnes entered the Misty Forest and ended up dead, no one would suspect the Grand Elder."

"The Grand Elder is too overbearing here, Rayan Lee only had one finger severed, and it was reattached afterwards... For this, he even tried to kill Wyatt Barnes."

"The Grand Elder is too terrifying."

...

The faces of the Lee Family descendants hardened.

Following Wyatt Barnes into the Misty Forest to simply teach him a lesson?

Only a fool would believe that!

"Rayan Lee, don’t tell lies carelessly, the Grand Elder would never do this kind of thing."

Atticus Lee’s face darkened and he sternly rebuked.

"That’s right, I believe in the Grand Elder’s character, he would never do such a thing."

"I believe too."

"Rayan Lee, don’t let hatred blind you. You shouldn’t tarnish your grandfather’s reputation for your personal selfish desires!"

...

The Elders of the Lee Family all voiced their opinions one after another.

What a joke.

There were so many descendants of the Lee Family present now.

Even if the Grand Elder Johnathan Lee really did this, they would never admit that he was anything but a simple individual. He represented the entire Lee Family.

"Clan Chief, I am not lying!"

Seeing that no one believed him, Rayan Lee grew desperate and roared.

"Enough!"

Atticus Lee roared, "Where is the Law Enforcement Elder?"

"Clan Chief!"

From a group of elders behind Atticus Lee, an old man dressed in a black robe stepped forward.

"Rayan Lee is tarnishing the reputation of our Lee Family’s Grand Elder, drag him down and give him thirty heavy blows as a warning to others!"

Atticus Lee ordered.

"Yes, Clan Chief."

The Law Enforcement Elder strode out and grabbed Rayan Lee, as easily as an eagle catches a chick,

"Clan Chief, I’m telling the truth, I’m telling the truth..."

As he was being dragged away by the Law Enforcement Elder, Rayan Lee was still hysterically howling.
