Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2616: Manuel Willow Comes Knocking

"Hmm? My Immortal Origin Force... has only increased by three levels? Only one more level than before?"

After wielding the auxiliary divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’, Wyatt Barnes’s brows furrowed uncontrollably, as the result was unexpectedly disappointing.

"According to what Elder Fire mentioned back then... my auxiliary divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ shouldn’t be this weak!"

"Even the auxiliary divine ability used by the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s commander, Eren Maxwell, can enhance Immortal Origin Force by three levels... and my Minor Devouring Technique is just slightly better than his?"

Wyatt pondered for a long time, still somewhat incredulous.

For a moment, he abandoned his initial plan to practice after testing the current power of the Minor Devouring Technique.

"City Lord! You... why have you come?"

While Wyatt was overwhelmed with confusion, outside, a voice reached his ears: it was Makai Holland, the commander of the Black Dragon Army, drawing Wyatt’s attention.

City Lord?

Could it be the City Lord of Bloodshade City?

"Why is the City Lord of Bloodshade City here? Could it be because of that incident?"

"No... Eren Maxwell, the commander of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, has already passed the ’Crystal Clear Profound Secret’ to me, putting leverage in my hands."

"He wouldn’t rashly seek revenge at the cost of his life and fortune!"

Even though Wyatt hadn’t interacted much with Eren Maxwell, he could tell:

That Eren Maxwell is definitely not the type with the courage to perish together with him!

"I’m here to see your Black Dragon Army’s Centurion, Wyatt Barnes."

Soon, a voice Wyatt had never heard before came from outside, directly asking for him.

"Bloodshade City Lord... Manuel Willow!"

Although Wyatt had yet to meet the City Lord of Bloodshade City, he had heard of him often, knowing he was the lord of Bloodshade City and the top expert under the jurisdiction of the County Governor’s Mansion in Nine Nether County.

"If it’s not because of that matter... what does Manuel Willow want with me?"

Wyatt was filled with confusion.

"City Lord!"

"City Lord!"

...

Meanwhile, several familiar voices penetrated the tent, reaching Wyatt’s ears.

Wyatt could recognize these voices belonging to the other four Centurions of the Black Dragon Army besides himself...

Daxton Cruz, Omari Moran.

Eastern Dunn, Ares Cooper.

The first two, opportunistic, were people Wyatt disdained to associate with.

The latter two still left Wyatt with a fairly good impression.

And now, hearing the four’s voices, Wyatt could discern:

Both Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran’s voices carried particular flattery, while only Eastern Dunn and Ares Cooper’s were somewhat normal...

"City Lord... you’re looking for Centurion Wyatt Barnes because of that incident at Phoenix Arrival Wine House a month ago?"

Outside the tent, Makai Holland, the Black Dragon Army leader, looked at Bloodshade City Lord Manuel Willow enquiringly.

As Makai Holland posed his question, both Eastern Dunn and Ares Cooper furrowed their brows slightly.

Although they didn’t have a deep relationship with Wyatt Barnes.

However, from the perspective of the Black Dragon Army, they both hoped Wyatt wouldn’t run into trouble.

The other two Centurions, Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran, exchanged glances, seeing the schadenfreude in each other’s eyes...

"That matter, Commander Eren Maxwell has already told me, he won’t pursue it... as the person involved, he isn’t pursuing it; naturally, I won’t either."

Manuel Willow said lightly: "Today I’m here to find Centurion Wyatt Barnes for other reasons... I can guarantee you and the Black Dragon Army that he won’t be troubled. So, you don’t need to worry about that."

With this statement, Makai Holland, Eastern Dunn, and Ares Cooper’s eyes brightened, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

While Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran, exchanging glances again, discovered that the schadenfreude had vanished from their eyes, replaced by disappointment...

Clearly, they were hoping for Wyatt to encounter problems!

"This... how is this possible? The City Lord actually said... Eren Maxwell personally told him he wouldn’t pursue the matter?"

"This isn’t Eren Maxwell’s style!"

Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran communicated through transmitted thoughts, their tones filled with incredulity, unable to comprehend why the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s commander, Eren Maxwell, didn’t pursue Wyatt Barnes over the crippling of Noel Yorke.

It’s important to know, Noel Yorke was not only a Centurion under Eren Maxwell but also his brother-in-law!

While Makai Holland, Eastern Dunn, and Ares Cooper also found it hard to believe while breathing a sigh of relief...

They were well aware of Eren Maxwell’s temper.

Knowing he wasn’t someone who would easily let things go!

"City Lord, Centurion Wyatt Barnes is currently in closed-door cultivation and might not know you’ve arrived... I’ll go call him out."

Makai Holland said to Manuel Willow.

Ending his statement, he intended to head towards Wyatt’s tent to wake him up.

"No need!"

However, just as Makai Holland was about to speak, Manuel Willow stopped him, "Since Wyatt Barnes Centurion is in retreat practicing, I won’t disturb him... let me know when he comes out, and I’ll come looking for him then."

Manuel Willow’s seemingly offhand remark fell on the ears of Makai Holland and others, leaving them dumbfounded.

Their Bloodshade City’s City Lord actually said to wait until Wyatt Barnes Centurion comes out and informs him, then he’ll come to find Wyatt Barnes Centurion?

This kind of treatment, not even Makai Holland himself or the Army of Silver Sea Dragon leader ’Eren Maxwell’ gets!

If it were the two of them, this Bloodshade City’s City Lord would surely say directly:

When he comes out, let him come to the City Lord’s Mansion to find me!

"Yes!"

Though shocked and confused as to why the City Lord was so courteous to their Black Dragon Army’s Centurion ’Wyatt Barnes,’ Makai Holland promptly responded.

"I have come out of retreat."

Just as Manuel Willow prepared to leave, Wyatt Barnes emerged from the tent, his eyes immediately landing on Manuel Willow.

Though he hadn’t met Manuel Willow before,

among the group present, he recognized everyone else, so he could instantly identify Bloodshade City’s City Lord ’Manuel Willow.’

"City Lord."

Wyatt Barnes greeted Manuel Willow with a nod casually, not with a subordinated demeanor, but an equal stature.

Almost as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Manuel Willow was smiling, ready to respond to Wyatt Barnes’ greeting.

"How dare you!!"

"In front of the City Lord, how can you be so disrespectful!!"

Before Manuel Willow could reply, Black Dragon Army’s Centurion ’Daxton Cruz’ and ’Omari Moran’ furiously glared at Wyatt Barnes, coldly rebuking him, as if ready to charge him with disrespect.

At this moment, they had only one thought:

To perform well in front of Manuel Willow and earn the City Lord’s favor.

However, they seem to have completely forgotten:

Just now, Manuel Willow had been very cordial to Wyatt Barnes, even saying once Wyatt Barnes is out, let their Black Dragon Army’s leader inform him, and he would personally come to find Wyatt Barnes...

Just as Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened, and Manuel Willow’s expression changed immediately.

"In front of Wyatt Barnes Centurion, how dare you be so insolent!"

Manuel Willow suddenly shouted in anger, raising his hand, an overwhelming force unleashed, striking unprepared Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran, sending them flying with injuries.

"Wow——"

"Puh——"

Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran were sent flying, simultaneously spitting a mouthful of blood, standing with embarrassed figures at a distance, staring at Manuel Willow in shock and disbelief, unable to comprehend why the City Lord reacted so strongly.

"This..."

Makai Holland, Eastern Dunn, and Ares Cooper saw this scene, again dumbfounded.

This...

What is happening?

Initially, they only felt their Bloodshade City’s City Lord was simply courteous to their Black Dragon Army’s Centurion ’Wyatt Barnes.’

But now, it seems their City’s Lord not only shows courteousness but also reveals respect to Wyatt Barnes between words and actions.

They really cannot figure it out:

Why does their Bloodshade City’s City Lord treat Wyatt Barnes Centurion so courteously!

"Hmm?"

Even Wyatt Barnes himself felt somewhat confused now.

Earlier, Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran had coldly confronted him, feeling displeased, he was ready to act against them.

But before he could act, Manuel Willow, the City Lord, intervened first.

"I... think it’s my first time meeting him, right? Why do I feel... he’s not only courteous but also cares for me?"

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t understand.

"Wyatt Barnes Centurion... could we have a word privately?"

After punishing Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran, the anger on Manuel Willow’s face vanished, replaced by a warm smile as he courteously asked Wyatt Barnes.

"Alright."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, then followed Manuel Willow, leaving the valley beneath them.

Following behind Manuel Willow, watching his back, Wyatt Barnes still couldn’t understand why Manuel Willow was so courteous to him...

"Maybe... I’ll find out soon. He definitely has something to discuss with me."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes didn’t ponder further.

Inside the valley, until Wyatt Barnes and Manuel Willow’s silhouettes disappeared from view, led by ’Makai Holland,’ several Black Dragon Army high-ranking officials gradually came to their senses...

And after coming to their senses, they exchanged glances, seeing the shock and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

No one spoke.

Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.
