CHAPTER 2048: CHAPTER 2048: UNEASY HEART

Faced with the threat from ’Wyatt Barnes’ in front, and the threat from ’Fore Reid’ behind, Lennon Field felt like he was about to go crazy!

What sins did he commit in his past life?

How could he encounter these two ’calamities’ in this lifetime!

However, in the end, Lennon Field finally made a choice, and the first thing he did was look at Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt Barnes, just like you don’t want me as an enemy, I don’t want you as an enemy either... Just leave!"

Lennon Field said in a deep voice.

Between the lines, it was clear that he no longer intended to move against Wyatt Barnes.

Upon hearing Lennon’s words, Fore Reid merely furrowed his brow slightly but soon relaxed, thinking perhaps this was the best ’ending’.

Of course, inwardly he was still very aggrieved!

"Lennon, is there something wrong with your hearing?"

Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened, and he said coldly, "I told you to step aside! Are you really willing to disregard your own children and direct disciples for the sake of Fore Reid?"

As Wyatt spoke, he once again threatened Lennon Field, "Tsk tsk... I really wonder, what will your children and direct disciples think when they know you made such a choice!"

"Elder Lennon, you should be able to imagine... If my father knew you teamed up with Wyatt Barnes to go against me, he definitely wouldn’t let you off! Even your children and direct disciples, he wouldn’t spare them either!"

While Wyatt was threatening Lennon, Fore Reid didn’t forget to also threaten Lennon, deeply afraid that Lennon might really be coerced by Wyatt into stepping aside, leaving him to face Wyatt alone.

It must be said that compared to ’Wyatt Barnes’, Lennon dreaded Fore Reid’s father even more, who was none other than the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, ’Johnny Reid’.

So, he quickly made a choice, staring coldly at Wyatt.

"Wyatt Barnes, today I won’t move against you... But, I am definitely protecting Fore Reid!"

"If in such a situation, you still dare to harm my children and direct disciples... Even if I, Lennon Field, have to defy the sect rules and face the risk of punishment, I will cripple you!"

Lennon’s voice was extremely cold and his words were resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Is that so?"

Wyatt Barnes laughed coldly, "If I remember correctly... the rules of the Fire Worship Sect seem to stipulate: Any high-ranking member of the Enforcement Hall who violates the rules will face double punishment!"

"Even if you don’t kill me, just crippling me... I’m afraid you’d still be doomed to die, right? Just because of a moment’s pain for your children and direct disciples, you’re willing to sacrifice your entire life?"

"Do you think... I would believe that?!"

As he finished speaking, Wyatt’s face bore an even broader smile, and his gaze at Lennon was filled with deep sarcasm.

"Lennon, you better not do something you’ll regret!"

Immediately, as Lennon’s face changed drastically, Wyatt once again spoke, simultaneously flying forward, heading straight for Lennon.

To be precise, he was heading straight for Fore Reid.

Lennon was just an ’obstacle’ on his path forward.

Seeing Wyatt flying over, remembering what he just said, Lennon’s face turned alternately pale and then flushed, his gaze flickering, it was unclear what he was thinking.

Whoosh!

However, when Wyatt approached him, he eventually stepped aside.

In the end, he chose to compromise.

In his view:

Although Wyatt Barnes was not as terrifying as Vice Hall Master Reid, the latter would likely consider his standing and might not act against his children and direct disciples, at most, he would just give him a hard time.

After all, Fore Reid was merely taught a lesson, not crippled or even killed!

This didn’t touch Vice Hall Master Reid’s ’bottom line’.

But Wyatt Barnes was different from the Vice Hall Master, although not as fearsome, he had nothing to lose and no scruples.

Such a ’madman’, even he could only avoid his sharp edge!

Otherwise, his children and direct disciples would certainly suffer!

Therefore, at the most critical moment, Lennon Field changed his choice.

"Elder Lennon!"

Seeing Lennon dodge at the crucial moment, exposing him completely to Wyatt Barnes, Fore Reid’s face turned green, never imagining Lennon would make such a choice.

Slap!!

Just as Fore Reid’s face changed color, a crisp and loud slap rang out.

It was Wyatt Barnes who arrived in front of Fore Reid at the first moment, raising his hand to give Fore Reid a slap, leaving a clearly visible palm print on Fore Reid’s face.

One slap also caused Fore Reid’s half face to swell up.

"You... you actually dared to hit me?!"

After being stunned for a moment, Fore Reid looked at Wyatt Barnes in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"I aim to hit you!"

Wyatt Barnes sneered, his hand raised and struck again, giving Fore Reid a flurry of slaps from both sides.

As long as Fore made a sound, Wyatt’s force would increase.

Eventually, Fore Reid didn’t dare utter a word, silently bearing with reddened eyes.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

...

One after another, the crisp and loud sound of slaps echoed, causing the few Elder Silver Flames of the Enforcement Hall watching to feel their scalps tingle, but none dared to intervene.

What a joke!

Haven’t you seen that even the first Elder Silver Flame of the Enforcement Hall, Lennon Field, is standing aside not daring to utter a word?

Not to mention their strength is inferior to Wyatt Barnes, even if they were stronger, they dare not intervene!

Some have their children in the Fire Worship Sect, or personal disciples there; who knows if Wyatt Barnes will trouble their children or disciples after they meddle in his affairs.

This Wyatt Barnes doesn’t play by the rules!

It’s best not to provoke such a person.

"Crazy! Crazy!!"

Lennon Field, who stood aside, watched as Wyatt Barnes turned Reid Fore into a ’pig’s head’ with a succession of slaps in the blink of an eye. He couldn’t help but feel a tingling on his scalp, thinking Wyatt Barnes had gone mad.

Who is Reid Fore?

The only son of Vice Hall Master Johnny Reid of the Enforcement Hall!

That Vice Hall Master Reid sees his son as his ’lifeblood.’ If he knew his son was humiliated this way, how could he not be enraged?

"Stop!!"

At this time, even if Lennon Field was apprehensive about Wyatt Barnes retaliating against his children and personal disciples, he dared not stand by watching the show any longer and hastily stepped forward to stop Wyatt Barnes.

Now, he already felt some regret.

He thought that after he stepped aside, Wyatt Barnes would just give Reid Fore a harmless lesson.

Unexpectedly, Wyatt Barnes, with a ’crackling’ on his first shot, gave Reid Fore a good round of slaps and turned him into a ’pig’s head.’

It’s one thing to be beaten into a ’pig’s head.’

The point is the way he was beaten — with one loud slap after another!

If this matter spreads, how can Reid Fore keep his head up in the Enforcement Hall or the Fire Worship Sect?

Such humiliation, any normal person wouldn’t be able to accept!

"Reid Fore, I almost forgot about the last incident and had no intention to hold a grudge... Today, since you willingly came to get beaten, don’t blame me!"

Facing Lennon Field’s intervention, Wyatt Barnes, who had vented enough, gave Reid Fore a cold glance and then turned around with flair and left.

"Elder Field, thank you for cooperating."

Lennon Field, who had just sighed in relief seeing Wyatt Barnes leaving, nearly spat blood when he heard Wyatt Barnes’ departing words.

This Wyatt Barnes, even leaving, didn’t forget to have a dig at him!

"Wyatt Barnes... Wyatt Barnes... If you don’t die, I, Reid Fore, swear not to be a man! Swear not to be a man!!"

Reid Fore glared with bloodshot eyes, trembling with anger. Though his swollen face couldn’t show expressions, it was evident he was utterly furious.

Furious to the extreme!

Only when Wyatt Barnes’ figure vanished from his sight did Reid Fore withdraw his gaze. He then looked at Lennon Field with icy eyes and spoke indistinctly due to his swollen mouth:

"Lenn...Lennon Field... this matter... I will... tell my... father... you... you just... you just wait!!"

After finishing his garbled speech, Reid Fore flew away, leaving Lennon Field only a cold back view.

"It’s over!"

Hearing Reid Fore’s words, Lennon Field’s face darkened, realizing he had misjudged. He never thought Wyatt Barnes would humiliate Reid Fore in such a way.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have let him go.

Once today’s matter spreads, it would certainly distress Reid Fore more than if he were dead!

Imagine, if this issue escalates, given Vice Hall Master Reid’s ’pampering’ of Reid Fore, he wouldn’t only not let Wyatt Barnes off but also wouldn’t let him off!

"You all, remember this... if you dare spread what just happened, neither I nor the Vice Hall Master will let you off!"

After taking a deep breath, Lennon Field looked at the few surrounding Enforcement Hall Bronze Flame Elders and warned in a cold voice.

"Elder Field, rest assured, I will definitely not spread what just happened!"

"Elder Field, rest assured, I didn’t see anything just now!"

"What happened just now? I was just passing by... really, I was just passing by..."

...

Hearing Lennon Field’s words, several Enforcement Hall Bronze Flame Elders hurriedly stated their positions, as if terrified of getting beaten if they responded late.

Meanwhile, a chilling sensation rose in their hearts.

"That Wyatt Barnes, is truly courting death!"

"I’ve seen those unafraid to die, but never someone this unafraid... that’s Reid Fore, not Emma Wenston!"

"He’s doomed! Absolutely doomed! With Vice Hall Master Reid’s ’pampering’ of Reid Fore, he definitely won’t let this slide!"

...

This was the thought in the hearts of several Enforcement Hall Bronze Flame Elders, all thinking Wyatt Barnes was courting death by daring to humiliate Reid Fore so brazenly.

On the other side, after Wyatt Barnes left, he only felt a rush of satisfaction.

For today’s matter, he felt no guilt.

As he said earlier:

If Reid Fore hadn’t come to him, he would have long left behind their previous unpleasantness.

However, since Reid Fore came to him, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t to be trifled with!

"Strange... why do I feel a bit uneasy?!"

Suddenly, as if noticing something, Wyatt Barnes’ expression changed drastically.
