Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Undercurrents Surging

"Hey! Buddy, have you heard? That Wyatt Barnes that everybody was talking about a while ago has broken through to the ’Original Pill Realm’!"

"I knew about that a few days ago. I have a distant cousin who is at the Sacred Martial Arts Academy."

"Wow, it’s quite an honor, buddy. You’re actually a cousin of a student at the Sacred Martial Arts Academy!"

"You’re too kind..."

"Buddy, did you know that this morning, Wyatt Barnes returned to the Barnes Clan to acknowledge his ancestors?"

"This happened?"

"Yes, yes! A distant cousin sister of mine is a maid of the Barnes Clan, I heard it was a grand affair."

"Didn’t Wyatt refuse to return to the Barnes Clan before?"

"That is old news... let’s not talk about that!"

...

In a tavern in the inner city of the imperial city, these two young men became intimate as they chatted.

Similar conversations are happening all over the city...

Wyatt Barnes, entered the ’Original Pill Realm’ at the age of eighteen, recognized as the ’top genius’ of the Sacred Martial Arts Academy.

He now also holds the title of a direct descendant of the Barnes Clan.

In the eyes of the people in Imperial City.

Wyatt Barnes can rightfully be described as a ’child of heaven’, even outshining Lanni Barnes in his prime...

The Simmons Clan Mansion.

In a spacious courtyard, an old man raises his hand, and the stone table in the courtyard splits and falls with a loud crash.

"Grandpa, what’s happened?"

A young man with a slightly pale face due to sickness walks out of the room, looking at the old man with confusion.

"Roman, why are you out here? You haven’t recovered from your injuries, you need to rest more."

The old man sees the young man, and a hint of guilt flashes in his eyes.

"Grandpa, has something happened?"

Roman’s face darkens.

The old man’s eyes flicker, and he laughs, "Nothing happened, don’t worry too much..."

"Grand Elder!"

At this moment, Clan Chief Jameson Simmons of the Simmons Clan arrives and steps into the courtyard. He looks at the old man, who is the Grand Elder of the Simmons Clan, South Simmons.

"Clan Chief."

South Simmons and Roman quickly pay their respects to Jameson Simmons.

"Grand Elder, you must have heard of Wyatt Barnes returning to the Barnes Clan and acknowledging his ancestors, right?"

Jameson Simmons looks at South Simmons and speaks slowly.

South Simmons’s face turns grim, and he nods.

"What?!"

Roman looks shocked. Wyatt Barnes had actually returned to the Barnes Clan to acknowledge his ancestors?

In an instant, he feels like the sun and moon have lost their light, and everything is shrouded in darkness...

He had heard about Wyatt Barnes breaking through to the ’Original Pill Realm’ two days ago. While amazed at Wyatt’s unparalleled martial talent, he was also filled with hatred. He wanted to cut Wyatt Barnes into pieces!

However, in his view, even if Wyatt Barnes has great martial talent, he doesn’t have any strong backing. His grandfather can help him get revenge without much trouble.

But now, the news of Wyatt Barnes returning to the Barnes Clan hit him like a bolt from the blue, leaving Roman breathless.

A ’Original Pill Realm’ practitioner at eighteen isn’t much. Without proper growth, everything becomes meaningless.

However, when this eighteen-year-old ’Original Pill Realm’ practitioner is branded as a member of the ’Barnes Clan’, he undoubtedly gains an additional layer of protection.

The Barnes Clan will absolutely not allow such a talented martial artist like Wyatt Barnes to be harmed!

"Grand Elder, Firey Barnes of the Barnes Clan has already talked to me personally about Roman’s issue... He wants to give one of the taverns controlled by the Barnes Clan in the outer city to our Simmons Clan. This tavern will then be managed by your branch, what do you think?"

Jameson Simmons looks at South Simmons and speaks slowly.

"Clan Chief, what does Firey Barnes mean? Does he want us to drop our grudge against Wyatt Barnes?"

South Simmons’s face darkens, almost roaring.

"Grand Elder!"

Jameson Simmons frowns, his voice coldens a notch. After all, he is the clan chief, and this Grand Elder dares to shout at him. Where is his dignified appearance?

"Clan Chief."

South Simmons comes back to his senses and says apologetically: "I just lost my temper, please forgive me, Clan Chief."

"Humph!"

Jameson Simmons’ indifferent gaze sweeps over South Simmons, "Grand Elder, today I am here to notify your branch to take over that tavern... Also, I would like to remind you something. In the future, try not to mess with Wyatt Barnes. Otherwise, if anything happens to your branch, the clan will not stand up for you."

What?!

The color drains from South Simmons’ face, and Roman next to him is also full of resentment.

The last sentence from the Clan Chief is clearly expressing the position of the Simmons Clan. If they dare to trouble Wyatt Barnes, they will completely isolate their branch.

"Clan Chief, our branch is still a main line of the clan... You plan to isolate us for a Wyatt Barnes? I’d like to know if it’s the family’s idea or just yours?"

South Simmons’s face becomes gloomy, and by the end, his tone becomes somewhat interrogative.

"Presumptuous!"

Jameson Simmons’s face changes.

"Grand Elder, how dare you disobey your superior!"

Right at this moment, another group of people came charging into the courtyard. It was a group of elders from the Simmons Clan.

"You all..."

Seeing so many people appear at this moment, an ominous premonition arose in South Simmons’s heart.

"Grand Elder, do not misunderstand the Clan Chief, the words just said by the Clan Chief have been unanimously approved and accepted by us."

The Second Elder of the Simmons Clan sneered at the corner of his mouth.

South Simmons’s face sunk, his eyes passed one by one across the faces of the elders in the Simmons Clan. He sternly said, "The Barnes Family should have contributed more than just one restaurant to my grandson’s cause, right?"

"That’s right! The restaurant in the outer city walls is just what the Barnes family gave to your lineage. What the Barnes family compensated our Simmons Clan with is a recommendation spot at the Sacred Martial Arts Academy every year..."

"That is to say, the Barnes Family will give one of their five recommendation spots to our Simmons Clan. In this way, we will have four recommendation spots every year, just like the Barnes Family."

The Second Elder did not deny it, he said it directly.

"The Barnes Family is indeed generous!"

South Simmons’s face became pale, finally understanding the situation.

"Clan Chief, esteemed elders, if there is nothing else, I will see myself out..."

South Simmons took a deep breath, his tone hinting at wanting to be left alone.

He understood that what’s done is done, this matter was already beyond his ability to change!

Jameson Simmons raised an eyebrow, shook his head and left with a group of elders from the Simmons Clan.

"No...I can’t accept this... Grandfather, I can’t accept this!"

Roman Simmons’s face was pale, his hands clutching his head, his hair grabbed into a mess, shaking his head repeatedly, not wanting to believe that any of this was real.

"Puh!"

At this moment, South Simmons’s face turned red and he spat out a mouthful of stale blood. His anger was caused by the higher-ups in the Simmons Clan.

"Roman, don’t worry...even if it means giving up on our lineage, your grandfather will avenge you! You are the only descendant of our lineage, and now that you’ve been ruined, our lineage has no future!"

South Simmons’s eyes flashed a cold light, his face was filled with ruthlessness and savagery.

In the main hall of the Fifth Prince’s Mansion.

Upon hearing the report from the old man with white eyebrows, the Fifth Prince’s face gradually darkened.

"Wasn’t that Wyatt Barnes quite stubborn? For a family that abandoned him many years ago, he returned so easily?"

The Fifth Prince’s eyes narrowed. Wyatt Barnes’s return to the Barnes Family was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Your Highness, I guess the Barnes Family sees that Wyatt Barnes broke through to the ’Original Pill Realm’ at the age of eighteen, appreciates Wyatt’s future prospects, that’s why they made heavy promises that moved Wyatt."

The old man with white eyebrows slowly said.

"Humph! And here I thought he had a backbone."

The Fifth Prince’s voice was full of disdain.

"Cousin!"

Just then, a figure in red flashed into the main hall.

The coldness on the face of the Fifth Prince instantly melted, and he smiled slightly, "This impetuous girl, what’s the matter?"

The person who entered was Lela Tucker.

Lela’s face fell, "Cousin, I heard that Wyatt Barnes has returned to the Barnes Family... is this true?"

"Yes, I just learned it from Elder Bai."

The Fifth Prince nodded.

"Then...does that mean I won’t be able to avenge myself?"

A hint of indignation slipped into Lela’s eyes, her face full of unwillingness.

"Lela, don’t worry, even if Wyatt Barnes has the Barnes Family backing him, your cousin will not let him go... However, your cousin needs to take time to plan this."

The Fifth Prince continued: "Didn’t you say last time, there was a female student at the Sacred Martial Arts Academy who bullied you the other day? I’ll have Elder Bai send a few people to you to take care of her."

Lela’s eyes brightened, "Thank you, cousin!"

In the spacious backyard of the residence.

Wyatt Barnes was lying comfortably on a reclining chair, his eyes closed, basking in the sun.

Jovie Lee, with angelic face and devilish figure, sat at his side, massaging his legs...

"Jovie, a little higher...yes, right there...oh, that feels good!"

Wyatt Barnes exhaled a mouthful of stale breath, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Young Master, open your mouth."

Keer, gentle as water, sat on the other side of Wyatt Barnes, feeding him peeled grapes.

As Wyatt Barnes ate the grapes and enjoyed the massage, he felt that his whole body was relaxed. His life was simply more comfortable than that of an immortal.

"Young Master, you went to the Barnes Family this morning to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, was it fun?"

Keer asked, her tone filled with a touch of curiosity.

Upon hearing her words, Wyatt Barnes slowly opened his eyes, found Jovie also looking over, smiled slightly, "There was nothing fun, it’s just going through the motions..."

"I saw Aunt Natalie seemed very happy," Jovie Lee said with a smile.

"Of course, my mother has been looking forward to this day for who knows how long...this time, she finally got her wish."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

This time, besides paving the way for himself, there was another reason, which was for his mother.

Otherwise, even if the Clan Chief of the Barnes Family personally came to plead, Wyatt Barnes might not be willing to return to the ’Barnes Family’.

For that cold and heartless family, even though Wyatt Barnes has now returned to the family, he still feels no sense of belonging, and the relationship can be best described as mutually beneficial at most.
