Chapter 2670: Chapter 2670: No Mercy for the Killer!
Hearing Wyatt Barnes personally admit it, Anders Mullins was forced to believe it despite his disbelief.
"Good, good... wonderful!"
Under everyone’s gaze, the smile on Anders Mullins’ face froze for only a moment before blossoming again, even more brilliantly. His tone was full of excitement, with no hint of anger.
It seemed as though the matter of Khaza Mullins being killed was negligible compared to Wyatt Barnes’ strength rivaling that of a Daai Law Golden Immortal.
In fact, in Anders Mullins’ heart, Khaza Mullins’ killing was indeed inconsequential when compared to Wyatt Barnes’ strength rivaling a Daai Law Golden Immortal.
After all, for him:
Wyatt Barnes’ strength rivaling a Daai Law Golden Immortal almost guaranteed his victory as the ’first’ in the Sixteen County Martial Competition held at King Cooper Mansion.
Once Wyatt Barnes ranks first in the Sixteen County Martial Competition, Nine Nether County will receive three Top-grade Immortal Pills, ’Daai Law Pills’.
Three Daai Law Pills are enough to create three ’Daai Law Golden Immortals’.
Compared to three Daai Law Golden Immortals, a mere inner elder of the Purple Sun Golden Immortal level, Khaza Mullins, is insignificant!
"Lord County Governor!"
Seeing Anders Mullins did not intend to hold Wyatt Barnes accountable for Khaza Mullins’ killing, Kathryn Knight, Anders Mullins’ mother, hurriedly said: "Elder Khaza Mullins may not have meritorious deeds to the County Governor’s Mansion, but he has suffered greatly... now that he has been killed, Lord County Governor, you must do him justice!"
Kathryn Knight said this while kneeling to Anders Mullins, bowing in the void.
But in fact, she did it not for Khaza Mullins.
She did it for her son, Anders Mullins!
If Wyatt Barnes is unscathed today, her son Anders Mullins will likely meet a grim fate!
Now, even the group of Mullins Family led by the family head, Cruz Mullins, faintly realized that today’s matter had been settled. Though their faces were grim, they didn’t say much because they knew all their words were futile.
To Lord County Governor of Nine Nether County, Wyatt Barnes is set to participate in the upcoming ’Sixteen County Martial Competition’ at King Cooper Mansion.
With Wyatt Barnes’ current demonstrated strength, winning first in the Sixteen County Martial Competition is as easy as pie!
They asked themselves:
If they were the County Governor of Nine Nether County, they could not possibly take out their anger on Wyatt Barnes for Khaza Mullins.
"Kathryn!"
Seeing Kathryn Knight still making futile efforts at this time, although knowing she was deeply worried about her child, Nathanael Knight couldn’t help but worry; fearing her actions might arouse anger from Lord County Governor of County Governor’s Mansion.
"Humph!"
Giving a glance to the kneeling Kathryn Knight, Anders Mullins snorted coldly, saying: "I trust Wyatt Barnes... since he killed elder Khaza Mullins, it means elder Khaza Mullins deserved to die! I believe he wouldn’t kill indiscriminately!"
Anders Mullins’ words showed his stance; he stood firmly by Wyatt Barnes’ side without condition.
As for the happenings, he didn’t care.
Even if Wyatt Barnes kills Khaza Mullins for no reason, he would turn a blind eye, pretending it didn’t happen.
Hearing Anders Mullins’ words, Kathryn Knight’s face instantly turned ashen.
"Wyatt Barnes, would you return with me?"
Anders Mullins looked at Wyatt Barnes, smiling, also ready to return to the County Governor’s Mansion.
When he arrived, he was very angry due to his inner elder, Khaza Mullins’ death.
Upon learning Khaza Mullins died at Wyatt Barnes’ hands, his anger not only subsided but turned to joy due to Wyatt Barnes’ ability to kill Khaza Mullins, valuing Wyatt Barnes even more.
If initially he thought Wyatt Barnes had hopes of entering the ’top three’ in the Sixteen County Martial Competition.
Now, he felt Wyatt Barnes was certain to win the distinguished ’first’ in the Sixteen County Martial Competition!
"County Governor, you go first... I have some unsettled matters with the Mullins Family,"
Wyatt Barnes said to Anders Mullins.
"Alright."
Anders Mullins nodded, "In that case, find me at the County Governor’s Mansion once you return later... I’ll wait for you in the main hall."
"Okay."
Wyatt Barnes agreed.
Finally, Anders Mullins gave the Mullins Family a faint glance before turning to leave, returning to the County Governor’s Mansion.
After Anders Mullins left.
Wyatt Barnes, unsurprisingly, became the ’focus’ of the audience once more.
Whoa!
Just as most eyes fell on Wyatt Barnes, accompanied by a sound of explosion echoing, the last remaining grand elder of Mullins Family, the old man, moved swiftly to Anders Mullins’ side.
Boom!!
Before Anders Mullins realized, the old man struck a blow, unleashing terrifying power like floods directly engulfing Anders Mullins.
Blood mist scattered in the air, leaving only a Storage Ring falling to the ground.
Anders Mullins, dead!
"Anders!!"
Only when Anders Mullins was killed, did Kathryn Knight recover, her face greatly changing, glaring at Mullins Family’s grand elder, "You... you... you’ve killed my son! I want your life! I want your life!!"
"Big Brother!"
Kathryn Knight immediately looked at Nathanael Knight, and with a pleading expression, she cried out, "Big Brother, I beg you, kill him! Please avenge Cruz for me, kill him!"
Nathanael Knight sighed but made no movements.
He could understand the actions of the Mullins Family’s grand elder.
If he were in the other’s position, he might have done the same.
"Have you had enough?!"
The Mullins Family head, Cruz Mullins, glared at Kathryn Knight, and snapped coldly, "If it weren’t for your indulgence since childhood, spoiling Cruz to this extent... would he have ended up like this today? It was only because I couldn’t bear to kill Cruz myself that I signaled the grand elder to kill him!"
"You... it was you?!"
Kathryn Knight looked at Cruz Mullins, her husband, with disbelief. There is an old saying that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. She couldn’t fathom her husband would do such a thing.
In the end, Kathryn Knight was so infuriated that she fainted, and luckily Nathanael Knight caught her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Wyatt Barnes, our Mullins Family admits defeat."
Cruz Mullins looked bitterly at Wyatt Barnes and said, "One hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones... within three days, our Mullins Family will deliver them to the County Governor’s Mansion, right into your hands!"
"In that case, thank you, Family Head Mullins."
Wyatt Barnes glanced at Eliel Mullins lightly and said.
He wasn’t surprised by the Mullins Family’s choice.
If the Mullins Family continued to be stubborn at this point, it would only lead to their own destruction.
After all, even the Nine Nether County’s ruler, the County Governor of Nine Nether County, has expressed unconditional support for him!
Regarding Anders Mullins’ death, Wyatt Barnes felt no pity.
If it weren’t for his strength, he would have died at the hands of the elder under Anders Mullins when he left that herb store, and wouldn’t have survived until now.
To him:
Anders Mullins’ death was his own doing!
As for the Mullins Family, since they chose to protect Anders Mullins, they naturally had to pay a price.
Khaza Mullins attacked him and deserved to die.
As for the other members of the Mullins Family, he wasn’t prepared to act against them, but the Mullins Family still had to pay a price, one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones!
"Elder Knight... why in such a hurry to leave? Our matters don’t seem to be resolved, do they?"
Wyatt Barnes’ gaze fell on Nathanael Knight, who was preparing to leave with the unconscious Kathryn Knight. As his gaze flickered, he smiled faintly.
"Wyatt Barnes!"
Nathanael Knight paused, glancing back at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes sparkling with brilliance, "Today, I admit defeat... however, we Knight Family cannot produce one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones. I can give you no more than ten thousand top-grade Immortal Stones."
"At this point, Elder Knight, you’re still trying to bargain?"
Wyatt Barnes laughed, then his eyes flashed sharply, and his voice suddenly turned cold, "Two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones... within three days, if the Knight Family doesn’t produce two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, I will surely seek you out, Elder Knight, to exchange some pointers and personally go to the Knight Family to take them!"
"You..."
Nathanael Knight’s face turned drastic, never expecting that casually haggling would lead to such a ’result’.
"Just a moment ago, the County Governor’s attitude, Elder Knight, you should have seen it too... even if I killed you, he wouldn’t hold me accountable."
Wyatt Barnes said calmly.
Though his tone was peaceful, it was loaded with threat.
"The County Governor is still waiting for me... I’ll leave first."
Once his words fell, Wyatt Barnes cast one last deep look at Nathanael Knight before turning to leave.
After Wyatt Barnes left, Cruz Mullins, head of the Mullins Family, and his group couldn’t help but sigh in relief. Lucky for them they didn’t haggle with Wyatt Barnes, or else Wyatt Barnes might have demanded them to produce two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones.
Several Mullins Family elders looked at Nathanael Knight with a hint of pity in their eyes.
Two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones!
Even for their Mullins Family to produce such an amount would cause immense damage.
Let alone a family like the Knight that is somewhat inferior to theirs.
"Cruz Mullins!"
Nathanael Knight didn’t leave after Wyatt Barnes departed, he suddenly turned around, looking at Cruz Mullins, he said in a deep voice, "I appeared here today all because of your Mullins Family... the twenty hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones need to be covered half by your Mullins Family!"
Without waiting for the suddenly tense-faced Cruz Mullins to respond, Nathanael Knight flickered away again, taking the unconscious Kathryn Knight with him.
...
Bloodshade City, above the Black Dragon Army camp.
"A former centurion of the Black Dragon Army was killed inside a ’small world’ left by an Immortal King from the Joyful Zen Sect... later, someone brought back his identity badge from that small world and became a new centurion of the Black Dragon Army."
An elderly woman with white hair, wearing a plain long robe, stood in the void. As she muttered to herself, her clouded eyes suddenly lit up:
"If my guess is correct... he’s the one who emerged from that small world with Miss Milana."
"It was him who sullied Miss Milana’s purity!"
As her muttering reached its peak, the old woman’s voice suddenly rose, her eyes flashing with icy killing intent, "The Sect Leader has ordered... if he is found, kill him without mercy!"
