Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Godly Might Marquis’s Mansion

"No... No way... How could he possibly come up with five million USD?!"

Looking at the large stack of bank checks held by Lyla Wood, River Sinclair’s face turned extremely pale, unwilling to believe that all of this was real.

Now, he had realized he had fallen into the trap of the purple-robed young man!

However, deep inside, he still couldn’t believe that this teenager was a ’Ninth-grade Alchemist’.

Of course, more than that, he was unwilling to accept it!

He knew how much effort he had put in to become a Ninth-grade Alchemist at the age of twenty.

He refused to believe that among the younger generation in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, someone could surpass him in alchemy talent!

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow.

He noticed the look on River Sinclair’s face, but he felt no pity for him...

Today, if it weren’t for Sinclair stirring up trouble, he would have already taken on a task to earn money.

For the alchemist guild’s tasks, when completed, you can choose between ’points rewards’ or ’gold and silver rewards’. Wyatt came here to take on tasks to earn money...

As for the alchemist guild’s points, when he was still in Aurora City, he had taken 5000 points from Inky Simmons, which was enough for the time being.

Since Sinclair had initiated the conflict, he had to pay the price...

Five million USD was the price he had to pay!

Actually, even Wyatt himself hadn’t expected that coming to the headquarters of the alchemist guild would lead to such a pleasant surprise, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Five million USD, gained effortlessly!

He wished he could come across such good fortune a few more times.

Seeing all eyes on him in the room, a smile appeared on Wyatt’s face as he lifted his hand, palm up.

Ssst!

A milky white pill fire instantly appeared in Wyatt’s hand, flickering slowly...

Silence.

At this moment, the entire alchemist guild’s hall fell into dead silence.

All eyes were on the ’pill fire’ in Wyatt’s hand, unable to look away.

Ninth-grade Pill Fire!

If it was only ’Ninth-grade Pill Fire’, it wouldn’t be so surprising.

But, a ’Ninth-grade Pill Fire’ appearing in the hands of an eighteen-year-old boy was surprising enough to keep them awake for days...

An eighteen-year-old Ninth-grade Alchemist, how monstrous is this?!

Lyla Wood was the first to come to her senses, squinting at Wyatt, a smile appearing on her face.

She hadn’t expected there to be such an outstanding alchemist emerging in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom!

This was the true ’genius alchemist’!

River Sinclair couldn’n even compare!

Then, everyone else in the room also came to their senses. For a while, the entire alchemist guild’s hall was filled with gasps, continuing for a long while...

"A Eighteen-year-old Ninth-grade Alchemist, I wonder which family he belongs to?!"

"Yes, such a talented alchemist has set a precedent in our Crimson Heaven Kingdom... Even the guild master of our alchemist guild, who came from the Green Forest Royal country, was said to have become a Ninth-grade Alchemist near the age of twenty."

"So to speak, this young man has even more monstrous talent than the guild master had back then! His future achievements might even surpass the guild master?"

"The guild master is the only ’Sixth-grade Alchemist’ in our Crimson Heaven Kingdom, if this kid surpasses him, wouldn’t he have a chance to challenge the ’Fifth-grade Alchemist’?"

"Monstrous! A monstrous talent!"

...

The onlookers did not hesitate to lavish Wyatt with praise.

Some people looked at River Sinclair and couldn’t help but shake their heads...

They understood.

River Sinclair, who was recognized as the most talented young alchemist in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, had his so-called ’genius halo’ completely shattered the moment the purple-robed teenager conjured the ’Ninth-grade Pill fire’. He was now history.

This purple-robed young man was now the unquestionable most talented young alchemist in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom!

Compared to him, Sinclair was worthless!

River Sinclair was trembling, as he came back to his senses from the shock and quickly noticed the sympathetic gaze from everyone else...

At this moment, he only felt his heart trembling!

A year ago, he had become a ’Ninth-grade Alchemist’ at the age of twenty, ever so proud!

Now, however, he had been surpassed by a teenager and lost five million USD to him...

All of this made him feel utterly humiliated!

The eyes of the crowd around him, in his eyes, seemed to be mocking and ridiculing him!

"Vice President, about the two million USD, I’ll have someone deliver it to you."

With a hoarse and low voice, River Sinclair took a cold glance at Wyatt Barnes, firmly remembered Wyatt’s face, and after leaving the Alchemist Guild, he only left these words behind.

If River Sinclair knew that the face Wyatt currently had was just from a disguise, who knows what his reaction would have been.

Everyone present understood that the events of today would probably be known all over the Imperial City in no time...

By then, River Sinclair would truly be the laughing stock!

"Little guy, here’s your one million USD bank check."

Lyla Wood privately took out two million USD bank checks, combined them with the eight million USD she held, and handed them to Wyatt Barnes.

"Thank you, Vice President!"

Wyatt Barnes put the ten million USD bank check into his pocket and gave Lyla Wood a slight smile.

"Huh?"

At this point, Wyatt also noticed that among the onlookers, there were a few greedy eyes staring at him.

A cold smile appears at the corner of Wyatt’s mouth.

Playing for his money?

"Little guy, let’s talk inside, shall we?"

Lyla Wood looked at Wyatt Barnes and issued an invitation with a smile.

Wyatt Barnes nodded and left the Alchemist Guild Hall with Lyla Wood, heading to a back room.

"What’s your name, little guy?"

Lyla Wood asked Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt."

Wyatt Barnes didn’t give his full name; this was his name from his previous life.

"Wyatt? Surname Wyatt, name Wyatt...What a good name!"

Lyla Wood praised, her eyes gleaming, "Do you have any interest in joining our Alchemist Guild, Wyatt? As long as you’re willing to join, the Alchemist Guild will fully train you, and you’ll even have the chance to go to the Alchemist Guild in Royal Country of Green Forest, and see a much wider world!"

In Lyla Wood’s mind, this was a huge temptation: the boy in front of her should not refuse.

However.

"I regret to say, Vice President, that I have no intention of joining the Alchemist Guild."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head lightly.

"That’s a real shame."

A surprised Lyla Wood echoed after a moment, not pushing the matter further.

She could tell that the young man in front of her, although of tender years, had intelligent eyes and was by no means fickle.

"Mr. Vice President, I’ll be leaving now if there’s nothing else."

Wyatt Barnes excused himself and left the back room.

In the hall, a young man behind a counter watched Wyatt Barnes as he approached. He took a deep breath, not daring to be lazy, "What can I do for you, sir? Are you here to post a task or to accept one?"

"Accept a task. Show me your task archive."

Wyatt Barnes said, smiling.

The young man was surprised by Wyatt Barnes’s affability. Surprised but flattered, he quickly handed over the task archive.

"Thank you."

Wyatt Barnes smiled at the young man as he flipped open the task archive.

Most of the tasks in this archive were to make eight-grade Pill Medicines. While there were many tasks for nine-grade Pill Medicines, the rewards were extraordinarily low...

Wyatt Barnes wasn’t interested at all.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes turned to a page near the front of the archive...

This was a task posted three years ago.

Task Poster:

Godly Might Marquis ’Atharv Nigel’, the General atop His Majesty’s Cavalry.

Task Content:

’Detox’ for Lord Crawford of the Crawford Mansion!

Lord Crawford was poisoned by a Void Realm Demon Beast ’Black Nether Mink’...

Demon Beasts are strong creatures that rank higher than Fierce Beasts.

Just as Fierce Beasts rank higher than wild beasts.

If a wild beast develops Origin Force, it would be called a ’Fierce Beast’.

And those Fierce Beasts that have made it through the ’Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation’ and broken through from Original Infant Realm to Void Realm are called ’Demon Beasts’!

"Black Nether Mink usually doesn’t attack humans... It seems that Lord Crawford must have provoked the Black Nether Mink and got bitten in return!"

Having accessed the memory of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes had a certain understanding of the Black Nether Mink.

"The reward for this task..."

Wyatt Barnes’ gaze rested on the page following this one.

Task Reward:

Fulfil all terms within the capacity of the Crawford Mansion to anyone who can complete the task.

"The current Godly Might Marquis seems to be ’Godly Might Marquis’... I wonder what his status is in Imperial City."

Moved by this thought, Wyatt Barnes asked the young man at the counter, "Could you tell me who this ’Godly Might Marquis’ and General atop His Majesty’s Cavalry, Atharv Nigel is?"

Who could have known, the young man at the counter turned solemn after hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, "The Godly Might Marquis Atharv Nigel, the General atop His Majesty’s Cavalry, is our Crimson Heaven Kingdom’s ’Military God’... He and the Emperor each hold half of the military power. As for the Crawford Mansion, their status in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom is no less than that of the large Sinclair Clan."

"Also, it is said that the Godly Might Marquis himself has a strength no less than that of the Void Realm Strongman, the Governors of the Eighteen Prefectures under the Crimson Heaven Kingdom!"

The young man carefully explained.

Wyatt Barnes was surprised. He had thought the Crawford Mansion was just a regular general’s mansion, but he hadn’t thought they had such deep connections.

"Oh yes, how do they compare if you compare the Sinclair Clan and Barnes Clan?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"In the Imperial City, the Barnes Clan is a prestigious family at par with the Sinclair Clan."

The young man said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, closed the task archive, and returned it to the young man.

"So, couldn’t find a suitable task?"

The young man asked.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes replied with a smile, excused himself, then turned and left.

As the young man watched Wyatt Barnes’s figure disappear into the distance, he couldn’t help but sigh, "That...that’s true ’grace’, neither arrogant nor hasty...unlike River Sinclair of the Sinclair Clan. Compared to Wyatt Barnes, his alchemist talent is only average. But he puts on such a supercilious show."

Just as Wyatt Barnes stepped outside the Alchemist Guild, three shadows slowly emerged from a nearby street, and started to follow him.
