Chapter 1737: Chapter 1737: Two ‘Tagalongs’
After rejecting Ebba King, Wyatt Barnes returned to his room, not concerned whether Ebba King was still outside, and he closed the door.
"However, speaking of cooperation... perhaps I could cooperate with Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker."
After entering the room, Wyatt’s heart stirred, recalling Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker, whom he entered the Mysterious Void House and the Heavenly Palace with.
Enoch Mullins was someone from Surge Hayden’s manor, and he was also the nephew of Surge Hayden’s Second Elder, Castiel Mullins.
Isaias Tasker was someone from the Teng Yue manor, and he seemed to have a deep relationship with the Vice House Master, Donovan Tasker.
Whether Castiel Mullins or Donovan Tasker, Wyatt felt somewhat guilty because he had let them down, and he always thought if there was a chance, he would repay the favor.
Upon learning some matters about the Saint Martial Secret Realm, Wyatt realized this was a good opportunity to repay them.
If he cooperates with Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker, allowing them to learn higher-level Divine Abilities in the Saint Martial Secret Realm, it would be considered repaying the favors owed to Castiel Mullins and Donovan Tasker.
Wyatt Barnes never liked owing people favors, and repaying them naturally lightens the burden.
"Speaking of which, the reason I know about matters in the Saint Martial Secret Realm is thanks to Ebba King... If I’m going to cooperate with Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker, having her along wouldn’t hurt."
Thinking of this, Wyatt reopened the door, only to find Ebba King still outside.
However, standing there, Ebba King seemed soulless, unable to come around for quite a while.
Ebba King was the granddaughter of the House Master of Tyrant Saber Manor, the ’Young Mistress’ of Tyrant Saber Manor, and everyone in the manor treated her like a little ancestor, especially the younger disciples who eagerly followed her for her commands.
It can be said, she was the absolute ’favored daughter of heaven’ in Tyrant Saber Manor!
Of course, even when she stepped out of Tyrant Saber Manor, no one dared to look down on her with that identity.
Her peers clung to her as if she was a coveted figure, and they never refused her requests.
However, after arriving at the Mysterious Void House, Ebba King was repeatedly struck down, all by the Saint Realm genius named ’Wyatt,’ who was also the most outstanding among the newly joined geniuses in the Mysterious Void House.
Today, she finally met Wyatt, thinking he would readily agree to cooperate with her, only to be completely disregarded.
While she could understand, she found it hard to accept.
Her understanding stemmed from self-awareness; to Wyatt Barnes, her strength truly couldn’t offer much help.
Her difficulty in accepting the rejection was because she, a great beauty, was rejected by a young man full of vigor!
If she didn’t know that fellow already had three women, she would really think he didn’t like women!
For these reasons, Ebba King felt severely struck.
"Hey!"
While Ebba King was feeling distraught, that annoying voice resounded in her ears, startling her awake, and she immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
The man she disliked unexpectedly appeared in front of her again.
"What do you want?"
Ebba King wasn’t someone who would insist like sticky glue; since the other party rejected her, she naturally wouldn’t humiliate herself by sticking around.
"I’ve agreed to your cooperation request."
Wyatt didn’t mind the indifferent tone of Ebba King and calmly stated.
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Ebba King was stunned once again.
The person who just rejected her cooperation request now agreed?
People say women are fickle; how does she feel this guy is even more fickle?
"However, I have one condition."
Immediately, another voice reached her ear, darkening Ebba King’s expression, and she looked at Wyatt with a hostile gaze, "If you intend to coerce me, take advantage of me, you’re mistaken... While I want to cooperate with you, I’m not at the point of selling myself."
"Humph!"
Saying this, Ebba King didn’t wait for Wyatt to respond and turned away, her movements fluid and stylish.
Wyatt was dumbfounded.
Did this woman think he would ask for something like that?
Did he seem like that kind of person?
"Wait!"
However, Wyatt knew that if he didn’t speak up at this moment, it would be equal to acknowledging such a thought, so he quickly called Ebba King to stop.
Ebba King halted, turned around to look at Wyatt coldly, but said nothing.
"Let me say, Miss King, do you think too highly of yourself or feel that I’m a scoundrel?"
Wyatt Barnes shrugged, helplessly shaking his head, "Honestly, while you’re quite attractive, and your figure is nice, to me there’s really not much allure... Among my two fiancées and a confidante, any of them are not inferior to you."
Upon these words, Ebba King was stunned, seriously looking into Wyatt’s eyes, seeing purity and realizing she misunderstood him.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
Eyes never lie.
At this moment, Ebba King, who had misunderstood Wyatt Barnes, couldn’t help but have a blush rise on her charming face, making her look extremely enchanting.
"What do you require?"
If it wasn’t an unreasonable request, she could still accept it, because she indeed wanted to collaborate with Wyatt Barnes.
Of course, rather than saying she wanted to collaborate with Wyatt Barnes, it would be more accurate to say she wanted to ’hold onto his coattails’. She believed that by following Wyatt Barnes, she would have the greatest chance of understanding the advanced divine skills ruins.
"I need you to help me find two people and have them join us, to cooperate with us."
Wyatt Barnes said to Ebba King.
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Ebba King’s eyes lit up, "Who?!"
In her view, even as a Saint Realm genius, she was initially rejected by Wyatt Barnes for collaboration... Now that Wyatt Barnes actively sought to collaborate with two others, their strength must surely surpass hers.
For her, this was certainly good news.
"I really didn’t expect that this guy, having just arrived at the Mysterious Void House, already knows its Saint Realm geniuses... In the Heavenly Palace, those under forty with strength above mine in the Saint Realm seem to be only two people. Could it be that Wyatt Barnes wants me to find them?"
Thinking of this, Ebba King’s heart surged with excitement.
If that were the case, then she would essentially be holding onto three ’coattails’ this time, making it difficult not to get a chance to understand the ruins of advanced divine skills.
"Enoch Mullins, Isaias Tasker."
Wyatt Barnes said to Ebba King.
Wyatt Barnes’ words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over her, extinguishing all her enthusiasm.
Enoch Mullins, Isaias Tasker, these names were naturally not unfamiliar to her, perhaps she had even met the two individuals a few times before.
After all, they were young geniuses from a fourth-rate power.
Isaias Tasker had even tried to court her once, but after suffering a severe defeat, he did not dare continue.
"You... are you close with them?"
Ebba King furrowed her brow. She couldn’t understand why this guy in front of her would want to cooperate with Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker, when even she was superior to them, and cooperating with them would be a hindrance instead of a help.
"I don’t know them."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head.
Ebba King originally thought Wyatt Barnes knew Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker well, hence his intention to cooperate and give them a hand.
But after hearing what Wyatt Barnes had to say, she was speechless, "You don’t know them yet plan to cooperate with them? Are you aware that although they’re geniuses from Surge Hayden’s Manor and Tengyue Manor, they haven’t even broken through to the Middle Saint Realm!"
"Especially that Isaias Tasker, he’s merely a late-stage Little Saint Realm martial artist."
Ebba King said, feeling frustrated as she spoke.
"Although I don’t know them, I owe a personal debt to their elders, and I decided to repay this debt in the Sacred Martial Secret Realm."
Wyatt Barnes said: "If you’re unwilling to cooperate with them, you can refuse... Of course, even if you don’t help me look for them, I will seek them myself. Moreover, your unwillingness to cooperate with them also means not cooperating with me anymore."
Wyatt Barnes candidly gave Ebba King a choice.
Ebba King was even more frustrated upon hearing this.
She wanted to cooperate with Wyatt Barnes because she valued his strength and believed that he could help her progress further... But now, to cooperate with Wyatt Barnes, she had to bring along two ’burdens’, and truthfully, she wasn’t willing at all.
"So, Miss King, have you considered?"
Wyatt Barnes asked.
"They can join... but you must ensure they won’t hold us back in our cooperation."
Ebba King said earnestly.
"What? Miss King, you have so little confidence in me?"
Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly.
Perhaps Wyatt Barnes’ smile was infectious, making Ebba King feel Wyatt Barnes’ strong confidence through his tone, and she didn’t say any more. She obediently went to find Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker.
"What?! After entering the Sacred Martial Secret Realm, you want me to join your small group? Along with Wyatt?"
Initially, seeing Ebba King come to find him, Enoch Mullins was a bit puzzled about what this lady wanted from him, but after Ebba King explained her purpose, he was overjoyed.
Ebba King, Wyatt — these two were the strongest among the thirty-seven people who joined the Mysterious Void House with them the last time.
With this entry into the Sacred Martial Secret Realm, filled with challenges, he had been thinking about collaborating with a few people, to mutually benefit each other.
He never expected that before he took action, Ebba King would come and deliver such a ’big pie’.
"If you agree, then this matter is settled... Of course, if you disagree, that’s fine too, but you must come with me to tell that guy, so he doesn’t think I didn’t inform you and claim you were unwilling."
Ebba King said indifferently.
