Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Don’t Envy
Until he got ho, a hint of excitent still lingered on Wyatt Barnes’ face.
"Young Master, what are you so happy about?"
Keer blinked her curious autumn-brown eyes and asked.
Jovie Lee also looked over. She could palpably feel Wyatt Barnes’ prevailing excitent...
"Nothing much. I’m just excited to visit the battlefield next month."
Wyatt Barnes chuckled as he shook his head, speaking nonchalantly.
However, just as Wyatt finished speaking, both Keer and Jovie Lee’s enchanting faces changed colour in an instant.
Battlefield?
In their minds, a battlefield was a place of imminent danger.
Visiting it might an never being able to return!
"Young Master, could you perhaps reconsider going?"
Keer looked pitiful, her eyes welling up with tears. She didn’t want Wyatt Barnes to take such risks...
"If you’re going, I’m going with you," Jovie Lee declared stubbornly, implying that she wouldn’t let Wyatt go unless he took her with him.
These reactions gave Wyatt Barnes a headache.
"Where did your imaginings take you? I’m just going as a reinforcent, and I’m not the type who engages in battlefield frontline... I’ll stay within the military camp offering strategic advice as an ’adviser’, understand? Besides, the martial arts academy mandates that one must experience the battlefield to graduate."
By the ti Wyatt finished speaking, his own face was a bit flushed.
If he were to go to the battlefield, would he honestly stay within the confines of the military camp?
The answer was a definitive no.
"Is it the rule of the Martial Arts Academy?"
Jovie Lee’s expression softened slightly. As she already knew Wyatt Barnes had chosen the ’Advisor Star System’ at the martial arts academy and understood the differences between the ’Advisor Star System’ and the ’General Star System’.
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes affird with a shaless nod.
Finally, after so effort, Wyatt was able to soothe both of them...
If he had a choice, he’d rather engage in a confrontational fight with a martial artist of the Original Infant Realm!
Of course, he would make use of the ’Bone Corroding Inscription’ to defeat the opponent!
Afterward, Wyatt Barnes went to his mother, Christina Lee, and requested a Storage Ring. He assisted Christina Lee in inscribing an ’Bone Corroding Inscription’ before setting his mind on cultivating.
His objective was to break through to the Seventh-Order of the Condensed Pill Realm before next month!
The next day, as soon as Wyatt Barnes walked into the classroom, he heard a group of students heatedly discussing sothing...
What they were discussing was exactly the matter of joining the reinforcents to the Northwest Border battlefield in a month’s ti.
"Wyatt Barnes, I heard that in a month, more than 300 students from our Martial Arts Academy will be joining the ’reinforcents’ and heading to the Northwest Border battlefield..."
Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair joined Wyatt Barnes, with Seeker Sinclair speaking.
"I heard."
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"I heard that out of these 300-plus people, 300 of them are students from the ’General Star System’. For us students from the ’Advisor Star System’, it’s estimated that there won’t be more than ten."
Remi Sinclair’s statent was tinged with clear disappointnt.
"That’s not surprising."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled, "Students from the ’Advisor Star System’ aren’t born to be on the battlefield. They are ant to mostly serve the Crimson Heaven Kingdom’s dostic politics... Like the civil officials in politics, and the eighteen county magistrates, all of them are pretty much from the ’Advisor Star System’ of our Martial Arts Academy. Even so of their subordinates are also from the ’Advisor Star System’."
Seeker Sinclair responded with a bitter smile, "I now wish I could switch places with Tiggi Field... Even though there are no reinforcent slots for first-year students of the ’General Star System’ this ti, at least there’s a chance to go to the battlefield after two years. But in the ’Advisor Star System’, we may not even get a chance to go to the battlefield till we graduate."
"The battlefield is cruel, and the environnt is harsh. It’s not the sa as your luxurious life in the Sinclair Clan... Even if you were to go, you might not be able to adapt."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head. He understood Seeker Sinclair’s mindset - it was mostly ’curiosity’.
"It’s always good to have a feel."
Seeker Sinclair added.
Remi Sinclair nodded in agreent.
"If you two really want to go, I can arrange for you two to get so quotas."
Seeing the hopeful gazes of the two, Wyatt Barnes gently smiled.
"You?"
Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair looked at Wyatt Barnes with suspicion. Seeker Sinclair said: "Wyatt Barnes, you have Master Hawkins’ recomndation, and you might have a chance to get a quota... But when you say you’re going to get us two, you’re overblowing it. Unless you know the general who’s leading this ti or you know the ’Godly Might Marquis’."
"Oh? So, you two don’t believe ?"
Wyatt Barnes laughed.
Seeker Sinclair rеally hit the nail on the head - he not only knew the general leading this ti but also knew the Godly Might Marquis.
For him, getting two spots was just a matter of one sentence.
Remi Sinclair takes a mont to let it sink in and then asks in astonishnt, "Wyatt Barnes, can you really help us secure spots?"
"Have I ever deceived you in all the ti that you’ve known ?"
Wyatt Barnes looked sowhat speechless. Even Remi Sinclair doubted him, "You two, get ready in the coming days... We’ll leave together in a month."
Even though Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair still had no clue why Wyatt Barnes had such confidence, they could tell he wasn’t joking, and their eyes lit up accordingly.
"By the way, don’t ntion this at lunch. I suspect Tiggi Field will want to join . It’s one thing if both of you go, as you’re both ’Advisor Star System’ students with no need to personally enter the battlefield, but it’s different for Tiggi Field."
Wyatt Barnes spoke with a serious expression.
If Tiggi Field were to go into the battlefield now, his odds of surviving would be incredibly slim.
As his friend, Wyatt Barnes didn’t want Tiggi Field to take that risk.
"Don’t worry, we know what to do... That kid Tiggi Field, even if you don’t help him fight for a spot, there will be plenty of opportunities to join the battlefield in a year or two."
Seeker Sinclair said with a smile.
Before long, Enzo Hawkins arrived.
A morning’s lecture passed in no ti...
When it was almost noon, Enzo Hawkins called Wyatt Barnes out, "Wyatt, the command for reinforcents in the Northwest Border battlefield has co down. I’ve recomnded you to the Vice Principal. The nas for the Star System will be released in half a month. We set off in a month. Get yourself ready."
Wyatt nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed.
Seeing Wyatt’s calm deanor, Enzo was silently shocked.
This boy, he indeed had great potential. He was about to set foot on a battlefield but remained so calm.
Yet, if Enzo knew that Wyatt had already been inford, he would have been surprised at his reaction...
At noon, during lunch.
Tiggi Field looked excited. "I heard that the list for the reinforcents at the Northwest Border has been released under the ’General Star System’. There are several people who are only second-year students of the ’General Star System’. It seems, I have a chance next year."
"As long as you train hard, you’ll naturally have a chance."
Wyatt Barnes laughed.
"Well, Wyatt, you guys shouldn’t envy ... honestly. Although over ninety percent of you ’Star System’ students have no chance to go to the battlefield by the end of graduation, there is still a glimr of hope. And, if you can’t go to battlefield, that’s okay. Fighting and killing isn’t suitable for you guys."
It looked like Tiggi was trying to comfort Wyatt and the others, but his tone of voice carried a hint of smug satisfaction.
"Yes, you’re right."
Wyatt nodded seriously, trying hard not to laugh.
"Hahahaha..."
Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
Tiggi Field looked puzzled.
"Nothing."
Remi and Seeker shook their heads. No matter how much Tiggi pressed, they remained silent.
They believed that in a month, Tiggi would know the truth.
After lunch, Wyatt, Remi and Seeker practiced under a large tree near the martial arts performance field for the entire afternoon before leaving Sacred Martial Arts Academy together.
After parting ways, Wyatt went straight ho.
In a secluded corner of the inner city.
Not far away, a middle-aged man slowly approached a secluded building.
If you look carefully, you could see his legs were trembling slightly...
"Damn, I’ll never do this job again... Although it only takes a few words, the man behind the counter is too terrifying. Just a few words almost scared the piss out of ."
Mumbling to himself, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and went inside.
In the spacious hallway, there’s only one man standing behind the counter.
"I...I’ve co to confirm the task on Wyatt Barnes..."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, not daring to look directly at the young man behind the counter, and said, agitatedly.
"We’re not taking this task."
The young man behind the counter, looking at the cowardly middle-aged man, frowned and said indifferently.
"What? Not accepting it?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback, not expecting this outco. He montarily forgot his fear and exclaid in surprise and disappointnt, "Aren’t you guys from the ’Ghostly Shadow’ organization? Isn’t ’Ghostly Shadow’ the most famous assassin organization within the Crimson Heaven Kingdom? Is a teenager too much for you to handle?"
Smack!
The young man’s gaze was icy as he swept it across the middle-aged man. He lifted his hand and a stack of bank checks fell on the counter, "Here’s your deposit, returned!"
"You guys..."
The middle-aged man, summoning so strange courage, seed to want to say sothing.
"Get lost!"
The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from his body.
At that sa instant, the middle-aged man found himself enveloped in that killing intent which made him tremble. Terrified, he had an accident...
"Didn’t you hear
telling you to leave?"
The young man’s voice was slightly impatient.
"I...I can’t move."
The middle-aged man said with a bitter smile.
"Huh? You dared to make a ss of our ’Ghostly Shadow’s’ base?"
The young man slled an unpleasant odor and his face changed abruptly. He stretched out his hand and recollected the bank checks on the counter, "This 200,000 taels of silver will be the ’cleaning fee’... If the person behind you has any objections, let him co and find
personally."
"Now, leave my presence within three seconds, otherwise, you leave your life here!"
The young man’s voice grew colder.
The middle-aged man’s face paled, his legs shook and he rushed out of the ’Ghostly Shadow’s’ base like a gust of wind, looking extrely pitiful.
"200,000 taels of silver... 200,000 taels of silver just disappeared like that..."
Only after he had left did the middle-aged man realize. Those 200,000 taels of silver checks seed to have been confiscated!
A breeze blew by and the middle-aged man felt a chill in his crotch, but what chilled him even more was his heart...
The 200,000 taels of silver, just like that, was gone!
How was he going to explain this when he got back?
Looking at his damp pants, he wished he could cut sothing off right now, but upon second thought, he didn’t have the courage after all.
