Chapter 1753: Chapter 1753: Great Saint Realm Disciples on the Mystic Void List
Main Mansion, Mystic Void List, Great Saint Realm disciple!
Upon hearing the voice transmission from Ebba King, Wyatt Barnes’ gaze suddenly turned icy, and as his eyes fell on Tommy Dunn once more, a chilling coldness rose within them.
Originally, Wyatt acted to teach Tommy a lesson, just to let him know that not everyone can be bullied by him... at the very least, not Wyatt Barnes’ friends!
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that he already considered Ebba King as a friend.
Seeing his friend being mocked and oppressed like that, how could he possibly endure it?
If he could endure it, he would not be Wyatt Barnes.
Whoosh!
As if a gust of wind had blown past, Wyatt Barnes disappeared from his spot.
"Brother Wyatt!"
Matthew King’s face changed dramatically. He wanted to stop Wyatt Barnes but it was too late.
Smack!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and under the gaze of the crowd, Wyatt Barnes appeared right in front of Tommy Dunn, with one side of Tommy’s face already swollen, a clear handprint visible.
"Lyn..."
Tommy Dunn’s expression changed dramatically, his eyes filled with rage, and he opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish, another ’smack’ rang out.
Wyatt Barnes had slapped him again, this time swelling the other side of his face.
The killing intent in Tommy Dunn’s eyes grew stronger, but he didn’t dare say anything more, fearing that opening his mouth would earn him another slap from this guy in front of him.
"Endure... Tommy Dunn, you must endure now. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. This humiliation, you will avenge... you will certainly make this guy meet his doom! Certainly!!"
Tommy Dunn kept consoling himself, suppressing the fury within his heart.
Of course, internally, his anger had driven him to a near-mad state.
Never in his life had he been slapped, especially by someone of his own age.
This was a humiliation to him, a deeply ingrained humiliation!
As long as this person remained alive, he could not find peace.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
...
Meanwhile, the sound of gasps filled the air, as everyone realized what had just happened, profoundly shocked by Wyatt Barnes’ actions.
"This Brother Wyatt is really..."
Matthew King wore a bitter smile. Earlier, he hadn’t stopped Wyatt Barnes because he too was displeased with Tommy Dunn’s actions.
This time, he wanted to stop him, but was still late.
"This Wyatt is too fierce, isn’t he? This is Tommy Dunn, not just any disciple of the Heavenly Palace!"
Many disciples of the Mysterious Void House stood aghast, murmuring to themselves. The scene they had just witnessed was not only a visual shock but also a shock to their hearts.
They knew full well who Tommy Dunn was and his background.
In the Mysterious Void House, not to mention the ordinary disciples, even the highly esteemed elders dared not easily offend Tommy Dunn.
Yet today, Tommy Dunn was assaulted by a disciple who had been with the Mysterious Void House for less than thirty years, and after being struck once, he was slapped twice more.
"Wow! Where does this Wyatt get such courage? Who gives him the audacity?"
"Offending Tommy Dunn to such a degree, he’s doomed!"
"I wouldn’t be so sure. Don’t forget, this Wyatt isn’t just any disciple here; he is the strongest among the younger generation in our Mysterious Void House, the future pillar of our house... If he ever faced danger, even the House Master might intervene to protect him, wouldn’t he?"
"You make a good point. But remember, in our Mysterious Void House, if Tommy Dunn truly wanted to kill someone, it might not even alert the House Master."
...
Many disciples of the Mysterious Void House whispered to each other, believing Wyatt Barnes’ treatment of Tommy Dunn was akin to digging his own grave.
"Brother Wyatt, you were too impulsive."
Matthew King sent a voice transmission to Wyatt Barnes, "Your actions earlier could be attributed to having reasons... but slapping him in public twice is akin to humiliating him publicly, leaving him unable to face others, and that wasn’t quite justified."
The reason he said this is because Matthew King wasn’t aware that Tommy Dunn had already sent people to the Main Mansion to find a Great Saint Realm disciple from the Mystic Void List to deal with Wyatt Barnes.
"He..."
Seeing Wyatt Barnes slap Tommy Dunn twice more, Ebba King was shocked too, taking a while to regain her composure. Considering Tommy Dunn’s background, she felt a wave of fear wash over, breaking out in a nervous sweat for Wyatt Barnes.
"These two slaps were too impulsive."
Ebba King sent a voice transmission to Wyatt Barnes, her tone full of worry, "By doing this, you’ve thoroughly offended Tommy Dunn... In the future, in this Mysterious Void House, between you and him, only one of you will likely remain."
Although Ebba King understood the reason behind Wyatt Barnes slapping Tommy twice, she still felt he was too impulsive.
Of course, this thought arose mostly out of her concern for Wyatt Barnes.
"Impulsive?"
Hearing Ebba King’s words, Wyatt Barnes remained noncommittal.
He knew Tommy Dunn’s background was extraordinary, but choosing to endure it silently because of that was not Wyatt Barnes’ style.
Wyatt Barnes’ path in the Martial Dao had no fear. Even if there were difficulties and dangers ahead, he would cut through thorns and brambles, carve a bloody path, and soar straight up to the ninth heaven!
At some point, Ewen Price had retreated a bit, seemingly afraid of getting dragged into trouble.
"I’ve been in the Mysterious Void Mansion for so long, and I’ve never admired anyone... but this time, I must say, I admire this Wyatt!"
Someone exclaimed, not too loudly, but many people heard it.
"I agree! Even if Wyatt isn’t affected by what happened, his courage alone is admirable!"
Many disciples of the Mysterious Void Mansion chimed in.
Of course, while some admired Wyatt Barnes, others thought he was courting death:
"Does this Wyatt really think that just because of his high talent, he can act with impunity at the Mysterious Void Mansion? Doesn’t he realize that there are many stronger than him here?"
"Exactly! The person he offended isn’t just anyone, it’s Tommy Dunn... everyone knows Tommy Dunn’s background. This time, with such humiliation, the Vice House Master and old Protector won’t just let it go!"
"Yes. The Vice House Master and old Protector might refrain from taking action themselves due to their position, but even if it’s just their subordinates, it could make Wyatt suffer immensely!"
"In the Mysterious Void Mansion, maybe the Vice House Master and old Protector’s people won’t openly harm Wyatt... but who’s to say they won’t find an opportunity to take him out? High talent that doesn’t mature is just a fleeting bloom."
...
More disciples of the Mysterious Void Mansion thought that causing a scene with Tommy Dunn was an unwise move by Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes naturally heard all this, but he didn’t care.
Because he knew that even if he hadn’t acted against Tommy Dunn earlier, with their previous conflicts, Tommy wouldn’t just let it rest.
He was confident in his ability to judge people.
This Tommy Dunn was clearly a petty person who could magnify minor issues limitlessly.
So, until now, Wyatt Barnes did not regret his previous actions.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, three swift gusts of wind came rushing from afar, and in a moment, three figures appeared atop the peak of the Heavenly Palace.
One of them was the person who left earlier and was one of Tommy Dunn’s two lackeys.
Now, he was following behind two young men.
The two young men, one dressed in white and the other in black, walked side by side through the air, like black and white specters from Hell.
"Julian Buckingham! Black Dunn!"
The appearance of the young men in white and black naturally drew the attention of many. It was Matthew King who first recognized them.
Upon seeing their arrival, Matthew King’s expression turned serious. He transmitted his voice to the nearby Wyatt Barnes, "Junior Brother Wyatt, come to my side! Quickly!"
Matthew King’s tone was urgent.
At this time, Wyatt Barnes also noticed the newcomers. Since he had Ebba King’s prior warning, he wasn’t too surprised.
Hearing Matthew King’s words, he didn’t resist his kindness and quickly moved to Matthew King’s side.
"Senior Brother Julian! Senior Brother Black!"
After the two young men appeared, Tommy Dunn, whose face had been swollen by Wyatt Barnes’ slap, finally dared to speak.
While speaking, he quickly moved and reached the two young men’s side in no time.
Maybe being next to these two young men gave him a sense of security. Once beside them, Tommy Dunn pointed at Wyatt Barnes with a murderous look, "Senior Brother Julian, Senior Brother Black... it’s him! He’s the Wyatt Barnes who not only injured me but also slapped me twice in public!"
"He slapped me in public, disgracing not just my face, but also my father’s face!"
By the end, Tommy Dunn was full of indignation.
After hearing Tommy Dunn’s words, the two young men’s faces darkened immediately. They looked at Wyatt Barnes with fierce eyes.
"The one in white is named ’Julian Buckingham’, the one in black is ’Black Dunn’... these two were taken in as disciples by Tommy Dunn’s father early on. Since they were orphans, they took his surname Dunn. Among the direct disciples under Tommy Dunn’s father, their strength might be average, but their loyalty surpasses the other disciples."
Matthew King’s voice transmitted to Wyatt Barnes’ ears.
Julian Buckingham! Black Dunn!
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"These two are both early-stage Great Saint Realm disciples on the Mystic Void List, like me, they are early-stage Great Saint Martial Artists."
Matthew King continued to transmit his voice.
Early-stage Great Saint Realm!
Hearing Matthew King’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes lit up.
With his current strength, fighting those below the Great Saint Realm seemed like bullying.
If he could spar with someone above the Great Saint Realm, he would welcome it.
"Are you Wyatt?"
With a composed expression, Julian Buckingham’s gaze landed on Wyatt Barnes as he coldly asked.
