Chapter 1754: Chapter 1754: On the Brink!
Facing Tommy Dunn’s almost accusatory words, Wyatt Barnes merely glanced at him lightly and then ignored him.
Not to mention Tommy Dunn was just an early-stage Great Saint Realm martial artist, even if he were at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t fear him.
If he really got on his nerves, he’d just unleash the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ and finish him off with a single strike!
"It’s Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn!"
Soon, many disciples of the Mysterious Void Mansion recognized the newcomers, exclaiming softly, "They are Great Saint Realm disciples from the Mystic Void List, who usually cultivate at the Main Mansion."
"Isn’t the person behind them someone from Tommy Dunn’s side? When did he leave?"
"It seems that Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn were brought here by him."
"No wonder Tommy Dunn swallowed his anger earlier; he must have already sent for reinforcements."
...
At this point, those present also guessed the reason for Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn’s appearance here, it must have been Tommy Dunn who brought them to deal with Wyatt.
"In our Mysterious Void Mansion, only Great Saint Realm disciples are qualified to be listed on the Mystic Void List... whether it’s Tommy Dunn or Black Dunn, being entities on the Mystic Void List, their cultivation must have already entered the ’Great Saint Realm’! Now that they are here, Wyatt is likely in trouble."
"I know Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn, they are the personal disciples of the Vice Mansion Leader Dunn. It’s said they were orphans, taken in and nurtured by the Vice Mansion Leader Dunn from a young age... In their hearts, the Vice Mansion Leader is no different from a ’father.’ Tommy Dunn is the Vice Mansion Leader’s only son, they cherish him, seeing Tommy Dunn as their ’younger brother.’
"No wonder the Vice Mansion Leader’s personal disciples were brought here by Tommy Dunn... Tsk tsk, the presence of two individuals from the Great Saint Realm, I wonder how Wyatt will face them today."
"Even though Wyatt is strong and the top of our Mysterious Void Mansion’s younger generation... in comparison to Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn, he falls short by a lot."
"Indeed. If Wyatt were given a few more years, he might catch up to Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn... but as of now, he is far from being their opponent."
...
In the midst of all the discussion, many people sweated nervously for Wyatt Barnes.
"Shameless!"
Hearing the discussion around her, Ebba King quickly understood the origins of Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn, her face changed dramatically, and she cursed softly.
Meanwhile, in her autumn-colored eyes, a thick concern appeared.
She worried about Wyatt Barnes’ safety.
When it came down to it, the reason Wyatt Barnes had come to this point with Tommy Dunn was because of her, so her heart was filled with guilt.
"No wonder he’s bold enough to hurt my junior brother, truly arrogant!"
Seeing that Wyatt Barnes dared to ignore Tommy Dunn, Black Dunn’s gaze also landed on Wyatt Barnes, filled with a chilling coldness and killing intent, making Wyatt feel as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake.
However, Wyatt Barnes had encountered countless such gazes along his way, so he was practically immune to them by now.
"Brother Julian, Brother Black Dunn, I want him to kneel and apologize to me!"
Tommy Dunn stared fiercely at Wyatt Barnes, his swollen face twisted, his eyes full of hatred as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Even at the peak of his anger, Tommy Dunn hadn’t completely lost his mind.
Although he wished for Wyatt Barnes’ death, he knew it was impossible to kill him under such circumstances, otherwise, he would be the one in trouble.
Despite his notable background, if he dared to kill someone in Mysterious Void Mansion’s public setting, he would be violating Mysterious Void Mansion’s rules.
By then, even his father and grandfather might not be able to protect him.
Even if he managed to survive, he would surely be expelled from Mysterious Void Mansion.
To Tommy Dunn, the person who originally brought them to the Mysterious Void Mansion, their ’master,’ was like a second-born parent, the person they respected the most.
And today, their respected master’s only son, their cherished junior brother, Tommy Dunn, had not only been wounded but had also been slapped twice in public, losing all face.
How could they not be angry?
So, the moment Tommy Dunn finished speaking, both Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn stepped forward simultaneously, approaching the vicinity of Wyatt Barnes in a flash.
Swish! Swish!
At that moment, two swift wind-whistling sounds followed, as Matthew King and another figure appeared not far in front of Wyatt Barnes, shielding him behind them.
"If you want to harm him, you’ll have to step over my, Ebba King’s, dead body first!"
The resolute and determined voice came from the graceful silhouette blocking Wyatt Barnes’ front, also attracting the attention of those present.
The owner of the silhouette, blessed with a devilish figure and an angelic face, exuded a valiant aura. She was none other than ’Ebba King’!
In this moment, Ebba King stood protectively in front of Wyatt Barnes, much like a tigress defending her cub.
She glared at Tommy Dunn and Black Dunn, looking ready to embrace death.
Swish!
Meanwhile, everyone present also came back to their senses, utterly astonished. They never imagined that Ebba King would be so fierce, willing to sacrifice her life to protect Wyatt Barnes.
It’s important to understand, not everyone has this kind of courage.
"Do you think you can stop us?"
Upon hearing Ebba King’s words, both Ray Dunn and Black Dunn glanced at Ebba King in surprise.
However, after the initial surprise, they no longer paid any heed to Ebba King. Through their Divine Sense, they could see that this female disciple was merely at the Middle Saint Realm stage, incapable of stopping them.
"I don’t have the habit of letting a woman protect me."
Just as Ebba King and Ray Dunn were confronting each other, another domineering man’s voice spread out as Wyatt Barnes appeared in front of Ebba King, shielding her behind him.
Originally, he should have stepped forward earlier.
However, Ebba King’s actions had shocked him to some extent, causing him to be stunned for a moment, which is why he stood up a bit late.
When Ebba King stood up and shielded him behind her, looking at Ebba King’s slender and graceful figure, any last prejudice he had against her disappeared, and while he was moved, he also embraced Ebba King as a friend in his heart.
"This matter is of my doing, and I won’t stand by and watch!"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes appearing in front of him, Ebba King immediately said urgently, "Don’t worry, they won’t dare to kill me."
Unfortunately, her words were directly ignored by Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes knew in his heart that even without Ebba King’s involvement, someone petty like Tommy Dunn would not let him go easily. The outcome would still be the same.
Ebba King’s affairs merely accelerated the intensification of his conflict with Tommy Dunn.
Therefore, from start to finish, he didn’t think that the intensification of the conflict between him and Tommy Dunn to this extent had anything to do with Ebba King.
Standing in front of Ebba King, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell upon Ray Dunn and Black Dunn, extremely calm, as if he wasn’t facing two Great Saint Realm existences but rather two opponents he could easily defeat.
"Not bad, quite manly! However, sometimes showing off in front of a woman comes at a great cost... Of course, even if you don’t show off, the price you pay today will be just as high!"
Black Dunn grinned, his smile sinister and eerie, sending shivers down one’s spine.
"Did you hear my little junior’s words? Kneel down and apologize!"
Ray Dunn cast a faint glance at Wyatt Barnes, speaking in an almost commanding tone.
"Ray Dunn, Black Dunn."
Just then, Matthew King stepped forward several steps, standing alongside Wyatt Barnes, and looked at Ray Dunn and Black Dunn with a stern face, "As for today’s matter, who is right and who is wrong, you both should know clearly in your hearts... don’t go too far!"
"What? Matthew King, do you want to stand up for him?"
Black Dunn sneered menancingly, "I remember, you seemed to be my defeated subordinate, right?"
Upon hearing Black Dunn’s words, Matthew King noticed the gazes sweeping over him, and his expression grew increasingly somber, "Black Dunn, Wyatt junior is different from me... If you want to touch him, you’d better be mentally prepared!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Ray Dunn’s gaze fell upon Matthew King, frowning as he asked.
"Wyatt junior’s talent, you must have heard of it... As far as I know, even the Lord knows of his existence now."
This time, Matthew King transmitted his words to Ray Dunn and Black Dunn, so the others didn’t know what he said.
The Lord!
Once Matthew King said this, Ray Dunn and Black Dunn’s expressions immediately grew grave.
They both understood what Matthew King’s words implied.
If the Lord knows of Wyatt’s existence, then he will certainly pay attention to him, and may even accept him as a direct disciple, or even a final disciple.
"You are smart people, I don’t need to spell everything out, do I?"
Matthew King supplemented via voice transmission.
Upon hearing this, Ray Dunn and Black Dunn exchanged a glance, and then both looked toward Tommy Dunn in the distance, conveying what Matthew King had just said to Tommy via voice transmission.
"The Lord?"
Upon hearing Ray Dunn and Black Dunn’s words, Tommy Dunn’s brows furrowed but quickly relaxed, coldly laughing as he transmitted, "Brother Julian, Brother Black, you don’t need to bother with this! This Matthew King has always had good relations with Wyatt, standing up for him is natural."
"As for what he said, maybe it’s true, but so what? Even if the Lord has plans to accept that Wyatt as a disciple, that’s a matter for the future... Could it be that after accepting Wyatt as a disciple, the Lord would come back to settle scores with us in the autumn?"
Tommy Dunn continued, his eyes gleaming with malicious intent as he once more gazed at Wyatt Barnes.
"Besides, if he kneels and apologizes to me publicly today, no matter how much the Lord appreciates his talent, he would certainly lose the thought of accepting him... How could the Lord possibly take someone who has suffered such public humiliation as a disciple?"
With those words, Tommy Dunn’s face displayed a cunning smile.
And Tommy Dunn’s words, upon entering the ears of Ray Dunn and Black Dunn, seemed to serve as a ’stabilizing pill’ for them.
