CHAPTER 2047: CHAPTER 2047: WYATT BARNES’ ’TRUMP CARD

As Wyatt Barnes looked at Fore Reid, a chilling gleam shot from his eyes, causing Fore Reid to shiver involuntarily, as if he had fallen into an icy pit.

At the same time, Fore Reid’s complexion also changed completely.

Because he never expected that, in front of the first Elder Silver Flame of the Enforcement Hall, ’Lennon Field’, Wyatt Barnes would dare to threaten so fearlessly.

Threatening him, Fore Reid!

With a deep breath, as he met Wyatt Barnes’s gaze, Fore Reid saw unshakable determination in Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, making him momentarily unable to doubt Wyatt Barnes’s words.

At this moment, waves of coldness instinctively rose in his heart.

As the chill rose, he also felt a bit of regret, regret for seeking out his father and asking him to find someone to stand up for him!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be stuck in such a dire situation now.

Swish!

After hearing Wyatt Barnes’s threat, Lennon Field’s expression also changed completely.

He never expected:

In front of him, Wyatt Barnes would threaten him, threaten Fore Reid, in such a way.

Yet, he had no choice but to take Wyatt Barnes’s threat seriously.

Being experienced, Lennon Field naturally could see:

The threats Wyatt Barnes spewed were not just words but genuine!

"If you don’t care about Fore Reid... then I will find people close to you, whether they are your children or your direct disciples under your tutelage! How you treat me today, I will treat them the same way in the future!"

When Wyatt Barnes shifted his gaze back to Lennon Field, his voice grew even colder.

"Unless you kill me today... otherwise, in the future, I will be the ’nightmare’ of those close to you! Whether it’s Fore Reid or people close to you... you cannot protect them forever, can you?"

Wyatt Barnes further threatened.

After his words, an icy killing intent emanated from Wyatt Barnes, seemingly causing the surrounding air temperature to drop several degrees.

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Wyatt Barnes’s words, falling into Lennon Field’s ears, caused his face to change drastically, his eyes reddened, and waves of killing intent targeted at Wyatt Barnes emanated from him!

He did not expect Wyatt Barnes to act so unpredictably!

As Lennon Field, he not only had children but also two direct disciples.

To him, whether it was his children or direct disciples, they were very important and needed his protection.

Wyatt Barnes’s actions hit his ’soft spot’!

"Wyatt Barnes... actually threatening Elder Lennon Field? This... this is too audacious, isn’t it?"

"No wonder, just arriving at our Fire Worship Sect, he dared to offend the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, ’Maximus Lee’... This Wyatt Barnes, I truly admire him!"

"I admire him too!"

...

A few Copper Flame elders from the Enforcement Hall watched the scene in front of them, stunned momentarily, and after returning to their senses, couldn’t help but exclaim.

In their eyes, Wyatt Barnes was simply an ’outlier’!

Threatening the first Elder Silver Flame of the Enforcement Hall, ’Lennon Field’, is this something a typical Fire Worship Sect disciple would dare to do?

Of course, they also thought Wyatt Barnes was very clever.

Although it seemed like ’breaking the jar and sinking to despair’, it was actually a psychological strategy!

From Lennon Field’s constantly changing expression, and his delay in acting, they could see... our Enforcement Hall’s first Elder Silver Flame had been intimidated by Wyatt Barnes and did not dare to act against him!

They pondered to themselves, if they were Lennon Field, facing Wyatt Barnes’s threat, they probably wouldn’t dare move against Wyatt Barnes either.

Lennon Field had a pair of children, two personal disciples, whose skills, though decent, could not even begin to compare to Wyatt Barnes!

"What do you think?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Lennon Field, chuckling coldly as he said, "Are you going to make a move against me now? Or obediently stand aside as a ’statue’? Anyway, I am ’barefooted, unafraid of those in shoes’, if you dare harm me, I’ll dare harm Fore Reid, your children, and your direct disciples!!"

’Barefooted, unafraid of those in shoes’!

Wyatt Barnes’s description of himself, falling into the ears of several Copper Flame elders observing, again felt incredibly apt.

Yes indeed.

Currently, isn’t Wyatt Barnes precisely ’barefooted, unafraid of those in shoes’?

Unless Elder Lennon Field dares to kill Wyatt Barnes, or dares to cripple Wyatt Barnes... otherwise, once Wyatt Barnes recovers, he could easily retaliate against Elder Lennon Field!

After all, Lennon Field is not alone.

He has children, he has two direct disciples!

Yet Wyatt Barnes, now amidst the Fire Worship Sect, is alone, with nothing to worry about.

They recognized this was Wyatt Barnes’s source of ’confidence’.

"Wyatt Barnes, isn’t your behavior somewhat excessive?"

Listening to Wyatt Barnes’s words, Lennon Field’s expression grew darker, and he responded coldly, "As the saying goes, ’Disaster should not extend to family’... aren’t you afraid of the ridicule for acting this way?"

"Ridicule?"

Hearing Lennon’s words, Wyatt Barnes was taken aback for a moment, but then laughed heartily as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

A moment later, the laughter ceased.

"Lennon! Do you really think you’re qualified to say this to me?"

Wyatt’s eyes turned cold, he sneered and said, "I can assure you that before today, I’ve never even met you. Yet, as soon as you appear, you want to take action against me! Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed, using your status as an Elder Silver Flame of the Enforcement Hall to oppress a true disciple... Why should I be afraid?"

"I’ll leave my words here today!"

Straightaway, Wyatt’s tone shifted, words tough as nails, "Today, unless you kill me, or cripple me... Otherwise, even if you merely touch a hair on me, I will go find your children, find your personally taught disciples to have a good Martial Dao spar!"

Threat!

Another blatant threat!

Yet, even when faced with Wyatt’s threat, no matter how angry, Lennon could only stand there flustered, his face flushed with rage, his killing intent soaring to the extreme, ultimately did not dare utter a single word.

"Be a good ’statue’!"

Seeing Lennon standing still in place, Wyatt stepped forward, continuing his stride towards Fore Reid.

Boom!

Boom!

...

Who knows if Wyatt was doing it intentionally, with each step forward, when his foot landed in the void, it caused a shockwave, making a deep sound of air exploding.

When these deep sounds of air exploding reached Fore Reid’s ears, Fore Reid’s face dramatically changed.

Each step Wyatt took was as if he was stomping on his chest, suffocating him.

In an instant, Wyatt was already within several meters of Fore Reid.

"Elder Lennon!"

Noticing the killing intent emanating from Wyatt, and seeing the coldness in Wyatt’s eyes, Fore Reid’s heart trembled, he immediately sought help from Lennon.

Whoosh!

Almost at the moment Fore Reid finished speaking, Lennon appeared like a specter in front of Fore Reid, shielding him.

Seeing Lennon appear, Fore Reid couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had found an indestructible ’shield’.

If it were in the past.

At this time, he should be hysterically urging Lennon to take action against Wyatt to appease his hatred!

But, recalling Wyatt’s earlier ’threat’, Fore Reid swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Now, Lennon could indeed give Wyatt a thrashing, torment Wyatt until he’s better off dead.

But after, Wyatt would fully transfer the hatred Lennon inflicted on him to Fore Reid!

Thinking this, Fore Reid became fearful and cowardly.

Though his teeth ground in hatred, Fore Reid ultimately stayed silent, refraining from urging Lennon to act against Wyatt.

"Wyatt Barnes, know when to stop!"

Blocking Fore Reid’s path, Lennon coldly looked at Wyatt, spoke to him in a deep voice.

"Lennon!"

Seeing Lennon blocking his way, Wyatt’s face also darkened, "Did you not hear clearly what I just said? I told you to obediently stand aside as a ’statue’... statue, got it?!"

"Wyatt Barnes, you truly think I don’t dare to touch you?"

Lennon’s face was extremely cold, he couldn’t stand by and watch Fore Reid getting abused by Wyatt, he couldn’t do such a thing.

Today, if Fore Reid gets abused under his watch, he won’t be able to explain it to Fore Reid’s father, Vice Hall Master Reid afterward.

Hence, Lennon finally stepped in.

Originally, he came today to help Fore Reid get revenge on Wyatt Barnes.

But who would have thought that Wyatt would be so ’rogue’, using Fore Reid, and even his children and personally taught disciples to threaten him, making him hesitant to strike!

"I’m certain you dare not touch me!"

Hearing Lennon’s words, Wyatt sneered, then said: "Lennon, if you don’t want me to visit your children or your personally taught disciples for a Martial Dao spar... you better step aside! After all, you and I have no grievances, I don’t want to have you as an ’enemy’ without reason!"

As Wyatt finished speaking, again, several Enforcement Hall Copper Flame Elders became speechless.

This Wyatt Barnes, too shameless!

He threatened Elder Lennon’s children and personally taught disciples, already forming an irreconcilable enmity...

Now, he claims he and Elder Lennon have no grievances, doesn’t want to treat Elder Lennon as an enemy without cause?

"Wyatt Barnes! Don’t go too far!!"

Facing Wyatt’s repeated threats, no matter how tolerant Lennon was, his heart eventually blazed with anger, his eyes shooting cold and terrifying killing intent, ready to devour him.

"Elder Lennon, you mustn’t step aside... otherwise, I’ll... I’ll definitely complain to my father, saying you’re switching sides last minute, aiding Wyatt Barnes against me!"

Hearing Wyatt threatening Lennon, and sensing Lennon’s extreme frustration, Fore Reid repeatedly threatened Lennon.

At this moment, Fore Reid was truly afraid.

Afraid that Lennon would abandon him to protect his children and personally taught disciples, allowing Wyatt Barnes to deal with him.

Without Lennon’s protection, he’s no match for Wyatt Barnes!
