CHAPTER 2046: CHAPTER 2046: LACKEY!

Although Lennon Field did not look as bewildered as Fore Reid and several other Copper Flame Elders from the Enforcement Hall who were observing, his gaze toward Wyatt Barnes also underwent subtle changes.

The name ’Wyatt Barnes’ was not unfamiliar to him.

He had heard of various ’deeds’ concerning Wyatt Barnes after he joined the Fire Worship Sect, and like most of the sect’s Silver Flame Elders, he considered taking Wyatt Barnes as a direct disciple.

However, later he learned:

Wyatt Barnes already had a Loose Cultivator mentor and declared that he would not acknowledge another as his master until permitted by his current mentor.

So, he dismissed the idea.

This news had long spread among the higher-ups of the Fire Worship Sect, and he knew it very well.

"Wyatt Barnes, how dare you!"

Just then, as Fore Reid regained his senses and looked at Wyatt Barnes, he suddenly shouted, "You know the esteemed status of Elder Lennon Field and still dare to call him by name. Are you unaware that this is highly disrespectful to Elder Lennon Field?!"

As Fore Reid’s shout echoed, Lennon Field’s gaze toward Wyatt Barnes also turned icy, and the temperature around his body seemed to drop by several degrees.

Of course, the instant change in Lennon Field was not due to Fore Reid’s so-called ’disrespect’.

His purpose today was only one:

To teach Wyatt Barnes a lesson, to vent Fore Reid’s anger!

The few Copper Flame Elders watching this scene couldn’t help but feel chills.

They had long heard of the conflict between Wyatt Barnes and Fore Reid.

Today, seeing Fore Reid appear here with Lennon Field, they knew Fore Reid was here to retaliate against Wyatt Barnes... and his confidence stemmed from Elder Lennon Field by his side, the Enforcement Hall’s first Silver Flame Elder!

Lennon Field was not only the first elder of the Enforcement Hall but also ranked among the top three in strength among the Silver Flame Elders in the Fire Worship Sect.

He was also renowned on the Extreme Saint Ranking:

Ranked at one hundred and nine!

Most importantly, as elders of the Enforcement Hall, they had early heard:

This Elder Lennon Field was actually a mad dog under the command of their Vice Hall Master ’Johnny Reid’, biting whoever Johnny Reid commanded!

Describing him as ’quiet as a virgin, fierce as a mad dog’ was very fitting.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Almost as soon as Fore Reid’s words fell, Lennon Field coldly shouted and immediately stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura, enveloping Wyatt Barnes as if intending to crush him.

Unfortunately, the mere ’Saint Immortal Fourth Transformation’ aura was powerless against Wyatt Barnes!

Wyatt Barnes didn’t even need to summon the Saint Origin within him; merely employing the sword move containing Supreme Heart Sword effortlessly shattered Lennon Field’s aura, causing it to disperse to the sides, unable to exert any pressure on him.

Noticing this, astonishment flickered deep within Lennon Field’s eyes.

"This Wyatt Barnes does have some skill... However, having crossed Lord Vice Hall Master, today he will surely wish for death more than life!"

While Fore Reid was inwardly surprised, cold glints emerged in his eyes.

His orders were:

Find any possible excuse to teach Wyatt Barnes a lesson, making him wish for death rather than life!

"Since becoming a Fire Worship Sect ’Silver Flame Elder’, it’s the first time I’ve seen a sect disciple call me by name... You truly have great audacity! Such disregard for hierarchy, today I shall take it upon myself to teach you well on behalf of your Loose Cultivator mentor!"

As Lennon Field spoke, he stepped toward Wyatt Barnes one step at a time.

Each step felt like a heavy hammer pounding on the chests of the observing Copper Flame Elders, causing their hearts to hang tensely.

In their view:

Wyatt Barnes was about to face misfortune today!

Lennon Field was clearly here to stand up for Fore Reid, and now that he’s found an ’excuse’, he will surely seize the opportunity until his goal is achieved.

"Loose Cultivator mentor?"

Upon hearing Lennon Field’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

Of course, it was only a momentary lapse.

The next instant, he realized:

The Black Tortoise Platform Law Enforcement Elder ’Abraham Clifford’ must have spread the news of him having a Loose Cultivator mentor.

Otherwise, Lennon Field couldn’t possibly know about his mentor being a ’Loose Cultivator’.

Throughout the entire Fire Worship Sect, he had only mentioned to Abraham Clifford that his mentor was a ’Loose Cultivator’, and stated he wouldn’t acknowledge anyone else as his master without his mentor’s permission.

He had said this to Abraham Clifford because Abraham Clifford wanted to recommend him to the Black Tortoise Platform’s Lord Hall Master, hoping he would become the Lord Hall Master’s direct disciple!

Unfortunately, Wyatt Barnes already had a mentor:

The Sword Saint ’Breezy Wind’!

Although he hadn’t met his mentor yet, he was deeply grateful to him.

Because of the supreme Sword Dao mental technique ’Supreme Heart Sword’ left behind by his mentor, he was able to reach his current status in such a short time.

For this reason, without his mentor’s consent, he could not acknowledge anyone else as ’mentor’!

"It’s just as well... Since Elder Abraham Clifford has spread the news, there likely won’t be anyone else wanting to be my ’mentor’!"

Wyatt Barnes thought silently.

At this moment, in Wyatt Barnes’s heart, Abraham Clifford spreading the matter didn’t cause resentment, but rather gratitude.

"Hmph!"

Regaining his composure, Wyatt Barnes looked again at ’Lennon Field’ walking step by step towards him, his gaze turning cold, then he said in an icy tone, "If you want to accuse someone, there’s always a reason! You, Lennon Field, came here with Fore Reid for a purpose, you know better than anyone why!"

"Since you’ve decided to stand up for Fore Reid and come to deal with me... Why should I be polite to you?"

"Perhaps in other people’s eyes, you, Lennon Field, are the esteemed first silver flame elder of the Enforcement Hall... But in my eyes, Vincent Barnes: you’re nothing more than a ’lapdog’!"

Wyatt Barnes’s words were powerful and resonant.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

Almost immediately after Wyatt Barnes’s blatant words fell, several bronze flame elders of the Enforcement Hall watching instantly gasped collectively.

The next moment, they looked at Wyatt Barnes like they had seen a ghost.

Although in the Enforcement Hall, few don’t know Lennon Field is the ’lapdog’ of Vice Hall Master Johnny Reid, no one has dared to call it out in front of Lennon Field and say it aloud.

In this respect, Wyatt Barnes is definitely the first!

"This Wyatt Barnes is truly insane!"

"Is he courting death?"

"Maybe he believes Elder Lennon Field won’t spare him today, so he’s taking the plunge."

...

Several bronze flame elders thought secretly, and a hint of pity was evident in their gaze towards Wyatt Barnes.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words directed at Lennon Field, Fore Reid was initially stunned, evidently not expecting Wyatt Barnes to be so reckless, daring to speak to Elder Lennon Field like that, and even calling field a ’lapdog’!

"Wyatt Barnes, if you’re courting death, you can’t blame anyone else for it."

Instantly, Fore Reid’s gaze towards Wyatt Barnes was filled with schadenfreude.

"You... what did you just call me?"

As the subject, ’Lennon Field’, having heard Wyatt Barnes’s words, his figure froze, and after coming back to his senses a moment later, he looked at Wyatt Barnes again, his eyes gleaming with an intimidating cold light.

As Lennon Field posed this question, the gaze of several bronze flame elders who were watching also fell back onto Wyatt Barnes.

They were all curious:

Would Wyatt Barnes dare to repeat those words?

In the next moment, they got the answer they wanted.

"I said... in my eyes, Wyatt Barnes: you’re nothing more than a ’lapdog’! Now, did you hear it clearly? Do you need me to repeat it?"

Wyatt Barnes spoke coldly, his words audaciously defiant.

And Wyatt Barnes’s words again caused a bout of tingling scalp among the several elders watching.

In their view:

This Wyatt Barnes is simply insane!

"Courting death!"

Fore Reid’s eyes filled with even more schadenfreude.

"You seek death!"

Confirming it completely, Lennon Field suddenly shouted angrily, and in the next moment, moved like a storm, he swept toward Wyatt Barnes.

"Lennon Field, once you make a move, there will be no room for regret!"

Almost as Lennon Field took action, Wyatt Barnes’s voice followed quickly, his tone filled with coldness, sending a chill down spines and causing Lennon Field to halt a few meters away from Wyatt Barnes.

"Regret?"

Although Lennon Field was furious, at this moment, he still looked at Wyatt Barnes warily, the anger suppressing the fire in his heart, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

"Could it be that Wyatt Barnes has some ’leverage’?"

Meanwhile, several bronze flame elders watching were secretly thinking.

"Elder Lennon Field, don’t believe him! He likes to embellish things... Make your move! Teach him a good lesson!"

Fore Reid, not far away, spoke conveniently.

"Hahahahaha..."

Almost as Fore Reid’s voice fell, Lennon Field, his eyes flashing coldly, prepared to take action again, when Wyatt Barnes suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter resounded, spreading far and wide, causing visible ripple-like waves to appear in the surrounding air.

And as everyone was momentarily stunned by this.

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes stopped laughing.

The laughter was like a torrential rain, coming and going swiftly.

"Lennon Field!"

The next moment, Wyatt Barnes looked at Lennon Field again, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light, "You better think carefully... If you dare to make a move, you’ll only end up torturing me without killing or maiming me, making me wish I were dead!"

"But if you really dare to attack me... I, Wyatt Barnes, swear that whatever you do to me, I will repay to Fore Reid in full!"

Saying this, Wyatt Barnes looked at Fore Reid.
