Chapter 1883: Chapter 1883: Repentance
Once again meeting Wyatt Barnes, Oliver Watson’s address toward Wyatt Barnes had changed from ’Wyatt’ to ’Wyatt Barnes’.
Back then, when Wyatt Barnes obtained the news of the Demon Sealing Monument, everyone in the Lower Domain had a portrait of him, so Oliver’s wife recognized at a glance the person before her as the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Wyatt Barnes’.
Also, he was once the number one genius of the younger generation in Mysterious Void Mansion, ’Wyatt’!
Since Wyatt Barnes went to the Dragonsmith Clan to fulfill the ’five-year agreement’, and Augustine Landon was revealed to be alongside the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds at that time, Wyatt Barnes’s past fake identity also came to light.
The number one genius of the younger generation in Mysterious Void Mansion, Wyatt!
The genius whose talent had once alerted all the quasi-Third-Rate Powers in the Lower Domain turned out to be the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!
This news spread like a hurricane with the conclusion of the five-year agreement.
Others might merely be somewhat surprised when hearing this news.
However, Oliver Watson’s feelings upon hearing this news were different from those of ordinary people.
Because he used to be the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace in Mysterious Void Mansion, and Wyatt Barnes was in the Heavenly Palace; he also had dealings with Wyatt Barnes.
Nevertheless, he never dreamed that... the monstrous genius Wyatt Barnes turned out to be the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!
"What? Are you not afraid of me?"
Facing a calm Wyatt Barnes, Oliver Watson shook the bloody severed head in his hand, and asked expressionlessly.
The head in his hand, although mostly covered in blood, was recognized by Wyatt Barnes and Augustine Landon at first glance as the head of the Shadow Mountain Black Market’s Vice Leader, ’Diffy Fenning’.
Diffy Fenning, not only killed by Oliver Watson, but even his head was ripped off, incredibly gruesome!
"Why should I be afraid?"
Facing Oliver Watson’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes asked in return.
For a moment, Oliver Watson was silent, and Wyatt Barnes also stopped speaking; they just stared at each other.
They were not in a hurry, but Augustine Landon beside them was anxious; Augustine hastily transmitted to Wyatt Barnes: "Brother Wyatt, this Oliver Watson is no longer our former Hall Master Watson of Mysterious Void Mansion... He has practiced ’Devouring Dark Demon Art’, and now he is a demon cultivator who kills people mercilessly!"
"You absolutely must not act recklessly... If you anger him, we’re finished!"
Currently, Augustine is deeply afraid of Wyatt Barnes angering Oliver Watson.
Oliver Watson, since he can kill the Vice Leader ’Diffy Fenning’ of Shadow Mountain Black Market, then his current cultivation is either in the ’late stages of Earth Saint Realm’ or halfway into the late stages of Earth Saint Realm, the ’mid stages of Earth Saint Realm’!
Such a being is fundamentally not something he can handle.
As for Wyatt Barnes, exhausting all his means, even using his movement divine ability, he can only exhibit ’mid stages of Earth Saint Realm’ speed.
In terms of attack, he cannot reach the level of the mid stages of Earth Saint Realm.
This fact was evident from Wyatt Barnes dodging Emperor End’s attacks during the five-year agreement.
Thus, he does not consider Wyatt Barnes to be a match for Oliver Watson.
Oliver Watson cannot be compared to Emperor End; he is a genuine powerhouse above mid stages of Earth Saint Realm, not like Emperor End, who used a severely adverse hereditary divine ability to achieve a shaky mid stages of Earth Saint Realm strength.
"Hall Master Watson took off Diffy Fenning’s head to declare to everyone in the Martial Dao Sacred Land: you killed Diffy Fenning?"
Finally, Wyatt Barnes opened his mouth first to break the peaceful atmosphere on the scene.
"Correct!"
Oliver Watson nodded, "Wyatt Barnes, I must say, you’re really smart. But aren’t you worried that I’ll kill you?"
Towards the end, a flash of fierce light appeared in Oliver Watson’s eyes.
"Will you?"
Wyatt Barnes asked in return.
Oliver Watson didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to remain so calm until now, feeling a bit speechless for a moment.
Speechless, he shook his head, "No."
"Isn’t that enough?"
Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly.
"How is Ebba King and the others... are they doing well?"
Taking a deep breath, Oliver Watson asked.
"They’re all doing well now."
Before Wyatt Barnes could speak, Augustine Landon had already answered: "Before, after you left Mysterious Void Mansion, they were harassed by some members of the Dunn Family. It was Brother Wyatt who stood up for them; he even signed a life and death contract with the Dunn Family’s members and killed those from the Dunn Family’s side."
"Since then, although everyone knows they lost you as their mentor to rely on, they haven’t been bullied anymore."
Augustine’s words seem to be boastful, intending to claim credit.
And indeed, that’s what he thought.
In his view, as long as Oliver Watson was grateful to Wyatt Barnes for this matter, there was no way he would act against them.
Even though at the moment, Oliver Watson had not shown any intention of acting against them.
But still, caution is necessary!
After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
"Thank you."
After listening to Augustine’s words, Oliver Watson’s changing expression returned to normal, then he looked at Wyatt Barnes and gratefully bowed slightly.
"Hall Master Watson, there’s no need for that... Ebba King is my friend, even if she weren’t your disciple, I wouldn’t stand by idly regarding her matters."
Wyatt Barnes waved his hand.
"No matter what, gratitude is still owed. I, Oliver Watson, always have a clear understanding of grievances."
Oliver Watson said seriously.
"I can see that."
Looking at the blood-stained head in Oliver Watson’s hand, Wyatt Barnes sincerely nodded.
If not for his clear distinction between gratitude and grudges, why would Oliver Watson willingly degenerate himself to practice that notorious Devil Path cultivation technique, the ’Devouring Dark_Demon Art’, just to kill Diffy Fenning?
"However, I truly didn’t expect before that you were the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... Wyatt Barnes, you fooled everyone back then, including me."
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Oliver Watson looked at Wyatt Barnes, changing the topic while sighing with emotion.
Though he said this, Oliver Watson’s expression clearly showed no blame towards Wyatt Barnes.
"Hall Master Watson, you might have misunderstood... I didn’t deceive you all."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "While I was at the Mysterious Void Mansion, I knew my father was in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, but I didn’t know he was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... It was only after I found out I was the Junior House Master that I left the Mysterious Void Mansion to reunite with my family."
"I see."
Augustine Landon also nodded, promptly speaking to confirm Wyatt Barnes’s words.
"I see."
Oliver Watson suddenly realized, "So I truly misunderstood you."
Obviously, Oliver Watson did not doubt Wyatt Barnes’s words, and Wyatt Barnes indeed had no reason to deceive him.
"Hall Master Watson, when you initially practiced the ’Devouring Dark_Demon Art’, it was purely for revenge, wasn’t it?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Oliver Watson and asked.
He did not expect Wyatt Barnes to suddenly bring this up, causing Oliver Watson’s pupils to instinctively shrink slightly.
"Brother Wyatt!"
But Augustine Landon was anxious, hurriedly sending a voice transmission: "Why are you asking him that?"
In Augustine Landon’s view, the ’Devouring Dark_Demon Art’ was like a scar on Oliver Watson’s body. If no one touched it, then there’d be no problem, but once someone did, it would likely cause Oliver Watson’s anger and shame.
And now Wyatt Barnes’s action was precisely unveiling Oliver Watson’s scar!
"Yes."
However, to Augustine Landon’s surprise, faced with Wyatt Barnes’s inquiry, after a moment of contemplation, Oliver Watson nodded his head.
"Any regret?"
Wyatt Barnes asked again.
"Didn’t regret initially... but after killing him, there was some regret."
Glancing at the head of Diffy Fenning in his hand, Oliver Watson sighed.
"What’s the use of regretting now? Could it be possible for you not to use the Swallowing Technique of young women’s Essence Blood Energy to cultivate?"
Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said.
"Of course, it’s possible."
To Wyatt Barnes’s surprise, Oliver Watson actually nodded, "The ’Devouring Dark_Demon Art’ was initially cultivated by absorbing the yin nature of the moonlight at night, a rather normal top-notch Devil Path cultivation method! However, later on, someone created a ’shortcut’ by absorbing young women’s Essence Blood Energy to cultivate, which accelerated the speed of cultivation several times faster than normal!"
"Now that I’ve avenged myself... hereafter, I won’t take shortcuts anymore!"
Looking at the head of Diffy Fenning in his hand, Oliver Watson murmured.
"I hope Hall Master Watson will keep his word."
Wyatt Barnes deeply glanced at Oliver Watson, then called out to Augustine Landon, and without saying goodbye to Oliver Watson, he departed straight away.
This time, they didn’t take any detours, heading directly north.
Looking from a distance at the backs of Wyatt Barnes and Augustine Landon disappearing from sight, Oliver Watson finally took action.
He carried Diffy Fenning’s head to the headquarters of the Shadow Mountain black market.
Thud!
With a soft sound echoing, it startled a few guards at the headquarters entrance of the Shadow Mountain black market, "What’s that?!"
When they scrutinized it, they found a perfectly intact head on the ground not far away, the head of a person just like them.
Immediately, they were startled again!
"Please convey to Leader Singleton that this is a ’grand gift’ from Oliver Watson to the Shadow Mountain black market!"
Before the few guards at the entrance of the Shadow Mountain black market could see the face of that severed head clearly, a thunderous voice transmitted from the sky and fell.
Hearing this voice, the expression on the guards’ faces changed dramatically.
At this moment, if they still didn’t realize someone was provoking their Shadow Mountain black market, they would have lived for nothing all these years.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
With the sound of whistling like the wind, the patrolling disciples above the headquarters of the Shadow Mountain black market shot up into the sky after hearing the voice just now, intending to find the person provoking their Shadow Mountain black market.
Unfortunately, it seemed that person left as soon as he finished speaking, so the patrolling disciples of the Shadow Mountain black market found no trace of him.
"Vice Leader?!"
And just then, the guards at the entrance of the Shadow Mountain black market’s headquarters finally saw the true face of that head on the ground.
Looking at the face on the head, wasn’t it the Vice Leader of their Shadow Mountain black market, ’Diffy Fenning’?
"The Vice Leader was killed?"
"Not only was he killed, but his head was sliced off!"
"Such a deep enmity?!"
...
Each guard’s face showed fear and astonishment; they never expected anyone in the lower domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land would dare to so blatantly provoke their Shadow Mountain black market.
Was that person not afraid of death?
"Wait a moment! Just now... it seemed the owner of that voice identified himself as ’Oliver Watson’?"
Soon, one guard reacted first.
