Chapter 1760: Chapter 1760: Vice House Master, Atlas Dunn!
"This matter is of great importance, I must personally report it to the House Master."
Winty Landon said with a heavy expression, "Augustine, you come with me to see the House Master."
"Yes, father."
Augustine responded, then followed Winty Landon to meet the current Substituting House Master of Mysterious Void Mansion.
Meanwhile, Tommy Dunn also arrived at the Main Mansion of the Mysterious Void House and immediately went to cry to his father.
"Father, that Augustine is too overbearing!"
Tommy Dunn looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a face full of shame and anger, his eyes filled with flames of hatred and inner discontent, "And that new disciple Wyatt, he actually slapped me twice in front of so many people... He not only disregards me but also disrespects you, father!"
The middle-aged man was wearing a light cyan long robe, and his appearance had five or six similarities to Tommy Dunn. He was none other than Tommy’s father, and also one of the Vice House Masters of Mysterious Void Mansion, Atlas Dunn.
"What happened?"
Atlas Dunn, known for being protective, became furious upon hearing Tommy’s words, especially since Tommy was his only son.
Seeing his father angry, Tommy felt a rush of excitement in his heart.
Because he knew, as long as his father was angry, he would definitely stand up for him.
So, Tommy quickly recounted what had happened to him today, telling the truth without deliberately concealing his rogue image.
Of course, the reason for being so candid was also because he knew that even if he was honest, his father would still back him up... In his father’s eyes, let alone bullying people, even if he had killed someone, his father would cover for him, fixing everything.
"Augustine doesn’t know him, yet he still helped him?"
After hearing his son’s account, Atlas Dunn’s face turned gloomy.
If it had been any other disciple from the Mysterious Void Mansion, he would have already sent someone to call them over for a harsh lesson.
However, that person was Augustine.
Augustine, not only ranked first on the Mystic Void List but also the only son of the Mysterious Void Mansion Protector, Winty Landon.
Winty Landon, who had his child late in life, doted on Augustine, a fact well-known within the Mysterious Void Mansion.
If he wanted to touch Augustine, Winty Landon would fight him to the death!
Though he was a Vice House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion, be it in terms of status or strength, he was far inferior to Winty Landon.
Winty Landon was on the same level as his father!
"Augustine can’t possibly not know him!"
In fury, Tommy said, "Father, think about it, if Augustine really didn’t know Wyatt, how could he possibly stand up for him without reason? Even if, as Augustine claimed, he didn’t know Wyatt at first and helped simply because he found Wyatt agreeable... However, for Wyatt to dare slap me twice in public, making me lose face, if he had nothing to rely on, would he dare do that?"
"You know, he wasn’t just facing me at the time, but also Senior Brother Julian and Senior Brother Black Dunn... For him, a mere Middle Saint Realm Martial Artist, to face Senior Brother Julian and Senior Brother Black Dunn with such composure, if it wasn’t because Augustine was backing him, what else could it be?"
As Tommy spoke, he grew more and more furious.
"Tommy."
Atlas Dunn looked at Tommy, speaking in a deep voice, "You also know the identity of that Augustine, even your father cannot easily touch him."
"Father, I understand this."
Tommy nodded angrily, "As for Augustine, it doesn’t matter if we don’t move against him, after all, his father is Protector Landon... But just thinking about Wyatt still being safe and sound, I can’t swallow this anger! Isn’t he just a bit more talented? He’s nothing now, but if he gains some status in the future, won’t he be even more unrestrained?"
"Today, he has no status and dared to slap me twice in public... If he gains some status later, won’t he utterly trample me underfoot?"
At this point, Tommy looked at Atlas Dunn, showing concern, "Father, could it be that the House Master really intends to take Wyatt as his direct disciple? If he truly becomes the House Master’s disciple, it wouldn’t just be a matter of overwhelming me in strength, it would be the same in background as well!"
"Given his attitude today, once he gains power, I fear there will be no place for me in the Mysterious Void Mansion."
As he spoke, Tommy’s face was full of bitterness and helplessness, and he lowered his head.
Atlas Dunn didn’t notice that when Tommy lowered his head, a flash of cunning success gleamed between Tommy’s eyes.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Tommy speak so pitifully, Atlas Dunn’s expression turned cold, as if covered in frost, "He’s just a new disciple, having just entered our Mysterious Void Mansion, and he’s already so arrogant... If he truly gains power, how could this be allowed?"
"Father, I don’t want to leave Mysterious Void Mansion."
Tommy raised his head, his eyes glistening with tears, looking very pitiful.
"Tommy, you can rest assured, since that Wyatt is blind enough to confront you, your father naturally cannot sit idly by... However, that Wyatt’s talent is indeed exceptional, and it would be a pity to truly suppress him."
As Atlas Dunn spoke, his tone abruptly shifted.
"Father!"
Hearing Atlas Dunn say this, Tommy immediately became anxious.
Listening to his father’s tone, it seemed he was reluctant to suppress Wyatt. How could he not be anxious?
"Tommy, don’t worry. The way he treats you, he’s already standing on the opposing side of the Dunn family lineage. No matter how much your grandfather and I appreciate talent, we cannot allow him into our lineage... Such a genius, if he can’t join our family, is a significant threat to us!"
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Atlas Dunn’s eyes, "Such a threat must be eliminated! Let him perish before he can grow!"
Hearing Atlas Dunn speak so decisively, Tommy Dunn finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was unfolding just as he had anticipated.
"Father, you haven’t answered my previous question yet."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Tommy Dunn’s face tensed, and he asked, "Is it true that the House Master has his eyes on his talent to take him as a personal disciple?"
"Tommy, I won’t deceive you. There’s at least an eighty percent chance that after you all come out of the Secret Martial Realm, the House Master will openly accept this Wyatt as his personal disciple... perhaps even as his last disciple!"
Atlas Dunn spoke with a serious expression.
"Last disciple?"
The words of Atlas Dunn were like a bolt from the blue for Tommy Dunn, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Being the last disciple, especially the House Master’s last disciple, he knew all too well what that meant.
"Father! No! We cannot let him become the House Master’s last disciple!"
Tommy Dunn was anxious, utterly frantic.
He could imagine, once that Wyatt became the last disciple of their Mysterious Void House Master, the title of ’Mysterious Void House Second Generation Number One’ would no longer belong to him.
And with the conflict between him and Wyatt, would the other party easily let him go?
"Tommy, don’t be anxious."
Seeing Tommy Dunn’s agitation, Atlas Dunn immediately soothed, "Even if that Wyatt wants to become the House Master’s personal disciple, or even his last disciple, it will only happen after coming out of the Secret Martial Realm... For now, go fetch your Senior Brother. I have a plan."
"Yes, Father."
Although Tommy Dunn didn’t know what his father was planning, he obediently went to find his Senior Brother.
Tommy Dunn’s Senior Brother was the eldest disciple under Atlas Dunn and was ranked third on the Mystic Void List. Like Augustine, he was also a Martial Artist at the peak of the Great Saint Realm.
Of course, although they were both at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, his strength was still a notch below Augustine’s.
Tommy Dunn’s Senior Brother was named ’Lucas Wilson’, who appeared as a middle-aged man, short and stout, with bright, piercing eyes, matched with thick eyebrows, giving an aura of majesty.
"Master is looking for me?"
Upon learning it was Atlas Dunn who was looking for him, Lucas Wilson dared not delay and immediately halted his training to follow Tommy Dunn, asking along the way, "Junior Brother, do you know why Master is looking for me?"
"Senior Brother, Father is probably looking for you to stand up for me."
Tommy Dunn replied.
"What happened?"
Lucas Wilson’s expression darkened, with anger rising in his eyes. Someone dared to bully his Junior Brother; how reckless!
As Atlas Dunn’s eldest disciple, Lucas Wilson revered him to the level of a deity.
Because of this, he always cherished Atlas Dunn’s only son, Tommy Dunn, treating him like his own sibling.
Now, upon hearing that Tommy Dunn was bullied, and the situation even alarmed his Master, how could he not be furious?
After hearing Tommy Dunn’s account, Lucas Wilson’s expression turned even darker, "I’ve heard of that Wyatt... I initially thought our Mysterious Void House was about to produce an outstanding figure, but he turned out to be such an arrogant and presumptuous person. Even if he grows in the future, it’s uncertain if he’ll be a benefit to our Mysterious Void House!"
"However, with Augustine protecting him, and their apparent close relationship... With Augustine around, it won’t be easy for me to act against him."
Even though Lucas Wilson wanted to teach Wyatt a lesson for his Junior Brother’s sake.
But if Wyatt had Augustine’s protection, he couldn’t touch Wyatt, as he wasn’t Augustine’s opponent.
"Senior Brother, I know all these... but since Father asked me to find you to meet him, he must have a plan."
What Lucas Wilson said had already occurred to Tommy Dunn, but he still chose to trust his father.
"Yes, I believe in Master."
Lucas Wilson nodded, unconditionally trusting his Master.
"Master."
However, just as Lucas Wilson followed Tommy Dunn to meet Atlas Dunn, barely having time to salute, a slightly hurried voice came from outside.
"Vice House Master, the House Master wants you to come immediately!"
The urgent voice transmitted in.
From the tone, it was clear it was a pressing matter, prompting Atlas Dunn to prepare to leave at once.
However, before leaving, he didn’t forget to look at Lucas Wilson and Tommy Dunn, "Lucas, Tommy, wait here for my return... I must first see the House Master."
