Chapter 430: Chapter 430 ’Apology
Main Mansion, Grand Hall.
Wyatt Barnes walked into the Grand Hall, imdiately spotting City Lord Taoi Roro sitting in the central seat of honor.
Winnie Roro had once again put on her veil, standing alongside Taoi Roro. Although her face was masked, her beautiful figure was a clear sight, alluring to all.
Apart from Taoi Roro and his daughter, there were four others in the Grand Hall.
Two middle-aged n dressed in festive robes with an exceptional deanor, a young man with a missing arm, and a young woman.
"Squeak squeak~~"
As Wyatt Barnes recognized the young man with the missing arm and the woman, the little golden mouse on his shoulder, also looked at the young man, baring its teeth and claws, its pair of cyan eyes filled with provocation.
This young man with the disabled arm, was the one who had tried to forcibly buy Little Gold in the wine shop and had attacked him. But as a result, his arm had been destroyed by Little Gold.
It seed his na was ’Rad Fleming’.
"City Lord."
Wyatt Barnes looked towards Taoi Roro, gave a slight nod as a greeting.
Taoi Roro nodded back, and then looked at the two middle-aged n, slowly saying: "These two are the family heads of the Fleming and Jinez Families of our Phoenix Perch City... They ca this ti to see you."
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, looking at the family heads of the Fleming and Jinez Families.
The cultivation of the two was extraordinary, both were existences of the Peep Naught Realm.
"Did the two Family Heads co to reprimand ?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the two, gave a faint smile.
"Not at all!"
The head of the Fleming family hastily shook his head, then raised his hand, taking out a Night Pearl the size of a man’s fist, and handed it to Wyatt Barnes, respectfully saying: "Young Master, a few days ago my son was rude, I hope that you, as an adult, can forget about his mistakes and not hold it against him."
Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell on the Night Pearl in the Fleming head’s hand, slightly surprised.
A Night Pearl of this size if taken to auction, could at least be auctioned off for tens of millions taels of gold.
This kind of Night Pearl, could be considered a rare treasure to a certain extent.
"Master Fleming is being too polite, it was just a small matter, I’ve already forgotten about it."
Although he said this, Wyatt Barnes’s hand was not slow at all, he smoothly received the Night Pearl from the hand of Fleming’s head, weighed it, "then I’ll thank Master Fleming for his generous gift."
"As long as the Young Master likes it."
Master Fleming forced out a smile, but his heart was bleeding.
This Night Pearl had cost him thirty million taels of gold at an auction in the Imperial City of the Black Stone Empire...
Now, it was just given away like this.
But he knew clearly in his heart, he had to give it away...
The one standing before him was the soon-to-be son-in-law of the City Lord!
As the current head of the Fleming family that had inherited the legacy for hundreds of years in this city, he had witnessed the rise of City Lord Taoi Roro.
Taoi Roro, who had arrived at their city a few years ago.
Upon arriving, he had defeated the City Lord of that ti, moved into the Main Mansion and beco the new master of the city, and even renad the city as ’Phoenix Perch City’.
No one knew how strong this City Lord was.
All he knew was that the forr city lord, who had been defeated and expelled from Phoenix Perch City, had found a powerful Enter Void Realm warrior to deal with Taoi Roro.
But in the end.
The forr city lord and the Enter Void Realm warrior he had found-to deal with Taoi Roro, were dead!
From that mont on, nobody in Phoenix Perch City dared to question Taoi Roro’s strength anymore.
"Young Master, this is our Jinez Family’s apology gift."
The head of the Jinez Family also took out a necklace composed of seven-colored gemstones and handed it to Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes could tell, the seven various colored gemstones strung together on this necklace, all were natural gemstones, priceless.
Combined together, the seven gemstones were worth no less than the Night Pearl sent by the head of the Fleming family.
"Thank you, Master Jinez."
Without any hesitation, Wyatt Barnes accepted it, receiving the apology gifts from the heads of the Fleming and Jinez families.
"Rest assured, family heads, it was just a bit of fun with Brother Fleming and Miss Jinez that day... It’s just a small matter, I won’t take it to heart."
Wyatt Barnes said to the two family heads of the Fleming and Jinez families.
This made the corners of their mouths twitch.
Rad Fleming’s face turned rather ugly.
Just a bit of fun?
Was it just a bit of fun when they destroyed his arm?
Of course, he didn’t dare to say it.
He knew that now this young man in front of them was the soon-to-be son-in-law of their Phoenix Perch City Lord; even if they drain the power of both the Fleming and Jinez families, it wouldn’t harm the other side.
City Lord alone, could sweep the both Fleming and Jinez families.
So, he had to swallow all this bitterness!
The four from the Fleming and Jinez families, seeing that Wyatt Barnes had no intention of pursuing the matter, each gave a sigh of relief.
After bidding farewell to City Lord Taoi Roro, the four left directly.
"Wyatt Barnes!"
Suddenly, the loud exclamation from Taoi Roro, made Wyatt Barnes’s heart tremble, he turned around and looked at Taoi Roro with a bitter smile on his face.
He knew that what was ant to co would always co.
"City Lord."
Wyatt Barnes faces Taoi Roro without cringing.
"Are you really unwilling to marry my daughter?"
With Taoi Roro’s words, a frightening aura swept out, covering Wyatt.
Just as Wyatt’s face changed, preparing to mobilize his Origin Force for defense...
Whoosh!
The scent of a breeze filled his nose as a pretty figure took a step forward and stood in front of him, blocking Taoi Roro’s aura.
Pfft!
The slender figure shook, spitting out a mouthful of congealed blood while trembling on the verge of collapsing.
"Winnie!"
Taoi Roro’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly retracting his aura. Like a gust of wind, he arrived at Winnie Roro’s side and fed her a Pill dicine.
Winnie’s face was ashen, taking a while to regain so color. As soon as she recovered, she said to Taoi Roro, "Father, stop making it difficult for Brother Barnes."
"Winnie!"
Seeing Winnie injured for his sake, Wyatt’s heart trembled.
Taking a deep breath, Wyatt looked at Taoi Roro, "City Lord, Mrs. Adams has spoken to
about Winnie... I have so understanding of the Fire Spirit Body. However, I am not a Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body, so I am afraid I may not be able to help Winnie."
"Brother Barnes, you... did you know everything?"
Winnie’s face had just regained so color, but upon hearing Wyatt’s words, she couldn’t help but look towards him.
Wyatt Barnes nodded and let out a sigh, "Winnie, you should have told
earlier. If I could help you, I would not stand by and watch."
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Winnie’s face unwittingly blushed.
"So, lad, you an to say you are willing to marry Winnie?"
Taoi Roro looked at Wyatt, his gaze sharp.
"City Lord, I believe that what you truly want is not to marry Winnie off, but to eliminate the trouble caused by her ’Fire Spirit Body’, right?"
Rather than replying, Wyatt asked a question in return.
"That’s right."
Taoi Roro nodded. He then added, "However... according to my grandmother -- the only ’priest’ in the Great Turdo Dynasty capable of peering into destiny -- Winnie can only escape the calamity she will face at the age of thirty by getting together with the man fated for her."
"City Lord, I already know about this. Winnie told ... However, my understanding of naturally born Spirits tells
that Winnie has a ’Fire Spirit Body’. In order to avoid the tribulation at the age of thirty, there are only two thods."
Wyatt spoke slowly, "First, find a holder of the ’Water Spirit Body’ or ’Ice Spirit Body’, and join with Winnie. The second is to let Winnie enter the ’Transforming Void Realm’ before she turns thirty. With the power of the Transforming Void Realm’s powerhouses, she can suppress the Fire Spirit power that would explode when she’s thirty!"
Wyatt’s words were clear and persuasive, causing Taoi Roro’s brows to furrow.
After so ti, Taoi Roro’s brows finally relaxed, "What you say makes sense. However, naturally born Spirits are extrely rare... Even in the history of the Great Turdo Dynasty, you have to go back a thousand years to find the last naturally born Spirit."
"How easy do you think it is to find a holder of the Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body? Besides, how can you be so sure that you’re not a Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body? As far as I know, many naturally born Spirit holders only awaken when they are close to the age of thirty."
At this point, Taoi Roro looked at Wyatt Barnes, "Perhaps you are one of those undiscovered naturally born Spirits."
Wyatt paused, then gave a bitter smile, "Naturally born Spirit holders are extrely rare, how could it be so coincidental..."
"Coincidental?"
Taoi Roro casually responded, "I would like to ask you then, why is it that I ca to Phoenix Perch City in advance, prepared for several years... just for Winnie’s fate. And you happened to show up just at this ti? Moreover, you ca from the south just for the ’Soul-shedding Fruit’ that my grandmother left as a dowry for Winnie."
"Don’t you think all this is too coincidental?"
Taoi Roro asked in response.
Wyatt was left speechless, unable to retort.
This was indeed coincidental, strangely so.
Wyatt sighed, "All right, let’s say I am a yet-to-be awakened Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body holder... However, City Lord, isn’t it too hasty for you to have
marry Winnie just like that? You know nothing about my character, my background, my family. Aren’t you afraid that Winnie will suffer if she’s with ?"
"How dare you?!"
Taoi Roro suddenly thundered, causing an intangible wave of impact to ripple through the room. Even the furniture in the great hall started trembling, as if it was an earthquake.
Wyatt quietly broke out in cold sweat.
Power was incredible.
Just a casual shout, and it felt like the whole world was shaking.
"Dad, don’t scare Brother Barnes."
Winnie Roro frowned slightly, seemingly displeased.
Taoi Roro retracted his aura, sighed and said, "It is said that won are protective, and it seems to be true... She’s not even married, but she’s already defending him."
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense?"
Winnie Roro’s face turned a crimson, so intense it seed blood might drop from it. At the sa ti, she stole a glance at Wyatt, and found him looking at her. Flustered, she quickly lowered her head.
Wyatt was stunned.
The relationship between him and Winnie could be best described as "enmity turning into friendship".
Nevertheless, it seed that Winnie had now developed feelings for him.
What was going on?
He was completely baffled.
"Could it be that I am really that attractive?"
Wyatt pondered earnestly.
