Chapter 409: Chapter 409 Two Choices
The Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, astride his sweat-bathed steed, extended his hand to accept the written ssage from Wyatt Barnes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Without even opening it, he had ripped the ssage into shreds in an instant.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, the shreds danced in the wind, scattering among the desolate wasteland, none of them remaining whole.
"You brat!"
The Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, who looked down upon Wyatt Barnes with a gloomy expression, sneered, "You’re clever enough to use a fake letter to cover your tracks. The Sect Leader’s letter? I, Leo Dunn, a mber of the Seven Stars Inner Sect, am not even qualified to have the Sect Leader write
a letter. You, a young man barely in his twenties, claim to have a personal letter from the Sect Leader?"
"Who would believe that?!"
By the end, Leo Dunn glared at Wyatt Barnes with an arrogant grin.
He was acting as if he had easily seen through his trick.
Inhaling deeply, Wyatt Barnes suppressed his rage and said solemnly, "Leo Dunn, is it? You don’t believe I’m an Inner Sect Disciple because I’m young, fine. I’ll treat it as a misunderstanding...But now, I present a letter which can prove my identity, a letter from the Sect leader intended for ’Elder Shine Dunn’ and ’Elder Peni Relief’, and you tear it apart without a glance?"
"Are you so sure that letter was not written by the Sect Leader himself?"
In the end, the luster in Wyatt’s eyes was icy cold.
This Leo Dunn, initially not trusting him, he didn’t mind.
Despite his current renown in the ’Seven Stars Sword Clan’, and his recent first-place triumph in the ’Martial Arts Competition’ held by the five great sects...
However, the Ancient City of Heaven was situated in a remote location, and it was not strange that the sect mbers stationed there from the Seven Stars Sword Clan had not heard of him.
But now, having given Leo Dunn the Sect Leader’s handwritten letter to verify its authenticity, Dunn tore it up without a glance?
"Ridiculous!"
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, a look of mockery spread across Leo Dunn’s face, "Kid, you’re beyond stubborn! If I were you, once debunked, I would have run as far away as possible. A letter? A forged letter is no proof!"
"What if I produced a letter that claid the Emperor of the Green Forest Royal Country wants to adopt
and appoint
as his successor...would you believe that?"
The mocking grin on Dunn’s face was so over-the-top it seed it could not be increased.
The bystanders burst into laughter at the sight.
With a frown, Wyatt glanced coldly at Leo Dunn and headed towards the Ancient City.
Since this Leo Dunn didn’t trust his identity, he would now head to the ’Ancient River Trading Chamber branch’ in the city.
And find ’Elder Shine Dunn’ and ’Elder Peni Relief’...
Then, all the truth would be revealed!
"Hold on!"
Just then, Leo Dunn’s voice echoed from behind, causing Wyatt Barnes to turn around, his face grim as he responded, "What else do you need?"
At this point, Wyatt had lost interest in dealing with Leo Dunn and didn’t want to bother.
"You, impersonating a Seven Stars Sword Clan Inner Sect Disciple, think you can just walk away?"
Seated on his horse, Leo Dunn looked down on Wyatt with icy eyes and said coldly.
"What do you propose?"
A cold laugh escaped Wyatt.
At first, he didn’t want to nitpick with Leo Dunn. But now, was he considered a pushover by Leo Dunn?
"Remove your imitation Seven Stars Sword Clan Inner Sect Disciple uniform, along with your inner garnt, then enter the town naked."
A wicked grin spread across Leo Dunn’s face.
The crowd watching had grown significantly at Leo Dunn’s words.
"Poor guy, impersonating a Seven Stars Sword Clan Inner Sect Disciple was bad enough, but then he gets caught red-handed by a real one."
"Yeah, he is really unlucky. If I were him, I would have just disguised myself as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, then no one would suspect."
"Perhaps, he thought impersonating an Inner Sect Disciple would satisfy his vanity."
"He hasn’t even grown a complete beard, but dreamt of impersonating an Inner Sect Disciple. He’s asking for death!"
...
The crowd’s eyes seed to have already visualized Wyatt entering the town naked.
So of the won in the crowd were eagerly waiting to see the handso youth enter the city stark naked.
So of the younger won, their cheeks turned crimson, bashful.
"Enter the city naked?"
Upon hearing Leo Dunn’s words, Wyatt first thought he had heard incorrectly.
It took a while for Wyatt to regain his composure and notice the strange looks from the crowd...
He finally realized this Leo Dunn wanted him to enter the city stark naked.
Imdiately, Wyatt’s gaze turned colder, he looked at Leo Dunn, and said gravely, "Leo Dunn, you’re executing such a ’death sentence’ on , when my identity is not yet verified. Isn’t that a bit extre?"
"Extre?"
Leo Dunn sneered, "Kid, don’t pretend to pull the wool over my eyes! By nature, you’re a small fry. I see through your ruses at a glance. Today, if you don’t strip naked and go into the city, I’ll break your legs and teach you a lesson!"
Stripped naked and enter the city, or have my legs broken?
Instantly, a thin layer of icy coldness seed to envelop Wyatt Barnes’ face.
"Leo Dunn, you’re not in a position to dispute my identity. I want to see Elders Shine Dunn and Peni Relief, let them personally identify whether I am a true disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan. If you don’t believe , you’re welco to co along."
Wyatt’s voice, carried with a chilling coldness, yet he patiently made his point.
Right now, he was putting up with Leo’s provocations because Leo was a disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.
And he, was simply trying to save face for Sect Leader ’Zeke Foxsong’.
Otherwise, with his temper, Leo would’ve been dealt with the mont he started insulting him non-stop.
Wyatt’s statent riled up the observing crowd again.
"This young man speaks humbly but without deference, he doesn’t seem to be lying. Could he really be a disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan? However, even if he is, it’s unlikely that he would be from the Inner Sect, right?"
"I’ve never heard of the Seven Stars Sword Clan having such a young Inner Sect disciple."
"I think he’s bluffing..."
"Bluffing? I don’t think so. He explicitly said he was going to et with the elders of the Seven Stars Sword Clan to confirm his identity. Do you think he can escape under the watchful eyes of an Inner Sect disciple?"
"Who knows."
...
Hearing Wyatt’s words, the smirk on Leo’s face deepened. "Looking for the elders? There’s no need for that!"
"No need?"
The icy look in Wyatt’s eyes further intensified, he could not hold back any longer, his voice deep and stern, "Leo Dunn, are you intent on making this difficult for
today?"
"Making it difficult for you?"
Leo was taken aback for a second, then burst out laughing. After his laughter subsided, he looked down at Wyatt with a look of disdain. "Kid, don’t flatter yourself. What makes you think you’re worth my ti?"
"Be smart and strip, enter the city naked... Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep your legs intact!"
As Leo reprimanded Wyatt, he looked down on him as if he were nothing more than an insignificant ant, ready to be crushed under his foot.
"You sure you want to do this?"
The coldness on Wyatt’s face gradually dissipated to be replaced with calmness.
Perhaps, in his eyes, a person like Leo was not worth his anger.
Leo, was not worthy!
"How I choose to act is none of your business, you greenhorn!"
Seeing the anger on Wyatt’s face disappear, Leo assud Wyatt was backing down. He sneered, "Kid, I’m giving you ten seconds... if even the smallest shred of clothing remains on you after that, I will break your legs and force you to crawl into the city."
"Think about your two options carefully before making a decision."
As Leo’s words trailed off, his face showed unleashing wrath.
Wyatt stood his ground, calm as a mountain, unflinching amidst the impending calamity.
It’s as if, everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.
"Seven seconds left."
Leo’s indifferent voice echoed out.
Seeing that Wyatt remained unmoved, he just assud Wyatt was paralyzed with fear.
The surrounding crowd, while so took pleasure in Wyatt’s misfortune, others looked at him with pity.
Kind-hearted ones even tried to persuade Wyatt, "Young man, there’s no point in suffering for principle... losing face is better than losing your legs!"
"Yes, young man, just bear with it and it’ll pass."
"Young man, you shouldn’t have flaunted yourself in the attire of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s Inner Sect Disciple. That’s a major taboo in the Seven Stars Sword Clan!"
...
Hearing these words of persuasion, Wyatt remained silent, still calmly watching Leo.
There was no discernable emotion in his calm gaze.
"Brother Wyatt, he’s gone too far! He even asked you to undress and enter the city naked... Just say the word, and I’ll take him down now!"
Wyatt heard Little Gold’s voice through Origin Force, making him speechless. He replied using the sa thod, "Little Gold, stop resorting to violence at any provocation. Sotis, problems can be solved without killing."
In his words, he gently instructed Little Gold.
If the rcenaries from his previous life’s organization were to hear what Wyatt just said, they would most likely be rendered speechless. After all, the rcenary King ’Wyatt’ from his past life always had one solution to problems:
That was... bloody slaughter!
"Three seconds to go."
Leo spoke again, manifesting a surge of Origin Force in his body.
Wyatt paid no heed and remained as still as ever.
The observing crowd, left in awe, felt chills run down their spine.
