Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: Abuse of Authority
Only you, Wyatt Barnes, are not allowed!
Inside the Heritage Hall, as the Elder behind the counter finished speaking, the hall fell into dead silence once more.
The Holy Land disciples present looked at the Elder of the Heritage Hall, then at Wyatt Barnes, each one stupefied, showing expressions of shock and disbelief.
What is going on here?
The Elder of the Enforcent Hall, calling out Wyatt Barnes by na, directly stated that he was not allowed to accept tasks issued by the Enforcent Hall?
Isn’t this obviously an abuse of power, bullying him?
"This seems a bit too much, doesn’t it?"
Many of the Holy Land disciples, after coming back to their senses, couldn’t help but complain, involuntarily feeling indignant for Wyatt Barnes.
"There must be a reason for this unusual behavior! Don’t you think this is strange? Why does that Elder from the Enforcent Hall make it difficult only for Wyatt Barnes?"
Soon, another Holy Land disciple said.
"Indeed, it’s strange. It seems that Wyatt Barnes has offended that Elder of the Enforcent Hall, otherwise, why would he specifically target him?"
One Holy Land disciple speculated.
"Wyatt Barnes really knows how to cause trouble... Now, even the Elder from the Enforcent Hall has been offended. If he has offended the Elder from the Enforcent Hall, he might have no hope of getting tasks there anymore!"
Many Holy Land disciples shook their heads and said.
"However, what that Elder from the Enforcent Hall did is sowhat considered ’abuse of power’, right? If there isn’t a sufficient excuse to refuse him from taking tasks, Wyatt Barnes could definitely report him to the Enforcent Hall!"
"If I were Wyatt Barnes, I’d definitely report him! Make him unable to backtrack!"
"I think that the Elder from the Enforcent Hall must have co up with a ’reason’ to openly refuse Wyatt Barnes... Reporting him might not even work!"
"I agree. As an Elder from the Enforcent Hall, he knows the regulations of the Fire Worship Sect like the back of his hand... In this situation, how could he allow Wyatt Barnes to exploit the rules to report him?"
...
The atmosphere inside the Heritage Hall, after a mont of silence, beca noisy again.
A group of Holy Land disciples started discussing the fact that the Elder from the Enforcent Hall prohibited Wyatt Barnes from accepting tasks issued by them.
While a group of disciples was passionately discussing, Wyatt Barnes had completely gathered his thoughts.
After coming back to himself, his expression turned utterly gloomy.
That Elder from the Enforcent Hall was clearly deliberately targeting him!
For a mont, even though Wyatt Barnes didn’t know who the Elder from the Enforcent Hall was, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger rising in him...
An all-consuming rage, as if it could burn everything to ashes!
"Elder... May I know which Elder of the Enforcent Hall, nad
specifically, refusing to let
accept tasks targeting ’true disciples’ issued by the Enforcent Hall?"
Taking a deep breath, Wyatt Barnes asked the Elder behind the counter in a deep voice.
He emphasized the word ’true disciple’ particularly heavily!
"I am a true disciple, fully eting the requirents specified for accepting tasks issued by the Enforcent Hall... May I know what right he has to stop
from accepting these tasks?"
As Wyatt Barnes continued, his tone gained a hint of interrogation.
Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ ’interrogation’, the Elder behind the counter frowned.
If it had been an ordinary elite disciple from the Holy Land daring to question him like this, he would have long since chased them out of the Heritage Hall!
However, standing before him was Wyatt Barnes, a person who once defeated the ninth-ranked on the True Inheritance List, soone with strength that surpassed his ’true disciple’ status!
In this world where only the strong are respected, facing such a true disciple, he naturally dared not speak out.
"Elder, don’t tell ... you don’t know which Law Enforcent Elder nad
and stopped
from accepting the tasks issued by the Enforcent Hall!"
Seeing the Elder behind the counter remain silent, Wyatt Barnes’ expression grew even grimr, he spoke in a deep voice.
Almost at the mont Wyatt Barnes’ words fell silent,
"Audacious!"
Before the Elder behind the counter could speak, a stern voice echoed from the inner hall of the Heritage Hall, imdiately capturing the attention of everyone, including Wyatt Barnes.
Monts later, under everyone’s gaze, two young n walked out from the inner hall, one in front of the other.
The one who shouted was the young man walking in front.
This young man had an ordinary appearance, wearing the distinctive attire of a Holy Land Bronze Fla Elder, after erging from the inner hall, his cold gaze imdiately landed on Wyatt Barnes.
He said coldly, "It was I who nad you, stopping you from accepting tasks aid at ’true disciples’ issued by the Enforcent Hall... What? Are you dissatisfied?"
Wow!
As the young man spoke, the attention of the Holy Land disciples inside the Heritage Hall imdiately shifted from his body to his face.
"Elder Fore Reid!"
As the gazes of the Holy Land disciples fell upon the young man, many of them instantly recognized him.
"It’s actually Elder Fore Reid who nad Wyatt Barnes and forbade him from taking tasks released by the Enforcent Hall... My god! The Law Enforcent Elder Wyatt offended is actually him?
"Elder Fore Reid is the son of the Vice Hall Master Reid of our Fire Worship Sect’s Enforcent Hall... Although he’s just a Bronze Fla Elder, with his status and background, not to ntion the Enforcent Hall, even across the entire Fire Worship Sect, not even a Silver Fla Elder would dare to easily offend him!"
"I really don’t know how Wyatt Barnes could have offended him... having offended him and still wanting to serve in the Enforcent Hall? It’s simply a fool’s dream!"
"However, even though Elder Fore Reid is the only son of the Vice Hall Master Reid of the Enforcent Hall, he should not dare to so boldly and ostentatiously abuse his power... he must have so reason for refusing Wyatt Barnes to take on the tasks issued by the Enforcent Hall!"
"This is beyond doubt! After all, as the only son of Vice Hall Master Reid, Elder Fore Reid is well-versed in the sect’s regulations and could not possibly violate them!"
...
Inside the Heritage Hall, a group of Holy Land disciples whispered.
Their words not only pointed out the Law Enforcent Elder’s ’identity’ who prevented Wyatt Barnes from taking on the Enforcent Hall’s tasks but also unanimously believed that the Law Enforcent Elder must have a legitimate reason to refuse Wyatt Barnes from taking on said tasks.
"Fore Reid? The son of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcent Hall?"
The whispers of a group of Holy Land disciples naturally reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears,
Instantly, his face darkened even more as he stared intently at Fore Reid, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
"Elder Fore Reid, is it? Yet I wonder... how exactly did I offend you?"
Wyatt Barnes asked coldly, his face composed.
"Oh? From what you’re saying... do you think I am deliberately targeting you?"
Facing Wyatt Barnes’ question, Fore Reid sneered.
Even if he was indeed targeting Wyatt Barnes, he wouldn’t admit it.
Otherwise, even as the son of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcent Hall, he would face severe punishnt from the Enforcent Hall!
"Oh? Isn’t that ’Senior Brother Pegg Holland’?"
At the sa ti, many Holy Land disciples’ gazes fell on another young man behind Fore Reid, recognizing him.
This young man, like Fore Reid, had ordinary looks.
Wearing the exclusive attire of a true inheritor disciple, his gaze was also on Wyatt Barnes, his eyes flashing with a cold killing intent!
"I heard... Senior Brother Pegg Holland and Elder Fore Reid have a good relationship, and seeing them today, it seems the rumors were true."
One Holy Land disciple exclaid.
"I rember: Senior Brother Pegg Holland seems to be the personal disciple of the first Silver Fla Elder ’Maximus Lee’ of the Black Tortoise Tower, one of the Four Symbols... I think I know why Elder Fore Reid is inexplicably targeting Wyatt Barnes."
Another Holy Land disciple said.
"I was wondering how Wyatt Barnes could have offended Elder Fore Reid... it turns out Wyatt didn’t offend Elder Fore Reid, but Senior Brother Pegg Holland!"
"Senior Brother Pegg Holland is the youngest personal disciple under Elder Maximus Lee... Wyatt Barnes first killed Elder Maximus Lee’s grand-disciple, which is Senior Brother Pegg Holland’s junior ’Hudson Anderson,’ and later indirectly caused the death of Elder Maximus Lee’s eldest personal disciple, which is Senior Brother Pegg Holland’s Senior Brother ’Jackson Wilson.’ Senior Brother Pegg Holland must hate Wyatt Barnes to the bone!"
"It is precisely because he hates Wyatt Barnes that he asked Elder Fore Reid to make things difficult for Wyatt Barnes!"
"Now, everything makes sense."
"However, since Elder Fore Reid is willing to help, he surely isn’t worried about Wyatt Barnes accusing him of abusing his power... but one does wonder what reason he will use to refuse Wyatt Barnes from taking on the tasks issued by the Enforcent Hall targeting all true inheritor disciples!"
...
As a group of Holy Land disciples recognized Pegg Holland, they all looked at Fore Reid again, eager to know what reason Fore Reid would use to refuse Wyatt Barnes from taking on the tasks issued by the Enforcent Hall.
After all, theoretically, as a true inheritor disciple, Wyatt Barnes should have been able to take these tasks unconditionally.
But now, Fore Reid is intervening, specifically naming Wyatt Barnes and refusing him to take on the tasks.
"Are you not deliberately targeting ?"
As Wyatt Barnes’ gaze shifted back from Pegg Holland to Fore Reid, it beca even colder, and he asked with a cold smile.
Upon hearing the whispers of the Holy Land disciples inside the Heritage Hall, Wyatt Barnes suddenly understood Fore Reid’s ’reason’ for targeting him, realizing everything was because of the other young man standing behind him, Pegg Holland.
Pegg Holland, aside from being a true inheritor disciple, is also the personal disciple of the first Silver Fla Elder ’Maximus Lee’ of the Black Tortoise Tower!
And Maximus Lee, is precisely his mortal enemy!
The kind that will not rest until death!
"Of course not!"
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Fore Reid’s sneer deepened, and he straightforwardly said, "I specifically nad you to prevent you from taking on the tasks issued for true inheritor disciples because I don’t want our Enforcent Hall’s reputation to be damaged by you!"
"You must know that, in the history of our Enforcent Hall, there has never been a case of anyone with a re ’yellow spirit root’ being allowed to serve in the Enforcent Hall!"
Fore Reid’s words were firm and resonant.
