Chapter 8: The Young Girl 'Keer

After bringing the young girl home, Wyatt Barnes went to see his mother, Christina Lee.

Christina Lee was also somewhat surprised to see her son bring a girl home.

Although the young girl was simply and soberly dressed, her innate beauty was undeniable. From the first look, she developed a liking for this beautiful girl.

"This is my mother."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Christina Lee and introduced her to the young girl.

"Keer pays respects to the lady of the house."

Upon seeing Christina Lee, the girl became somewhat restrained, her beautiful face blushing, making her look rather cute.

"Wyatt, what's going on here?"

Christina Lee gave Wyatt Barnes an amused glance.

She didn't expect that her son would bring back such a beautiful girl after going out just once.

"Mom, here's what happened..."

Wyatt Barnes recounted the story of his encounter with the young girl, Keer, to Christina Lee.

This included him teaching the Garcia Clan's young master a lesson, without leaving out any details.

"That Jackie Garcia has a very bad reputation in Clearwind Town, you did right by beating him. Even if the Garcia Clan comes knocking, we will be in the right."

Christina Lee nodded, showing an indifferent expression when Jackie Garcia was mentioned.

Meanwhile, her soft, maternal gaze slowly settled on the young girl.

"Keer, since you are now all alone, why don't you stay here? Conveniently, the maid in my courtyard got married and left for her hometown yesterday. You can stay in her former room."

Christina Lee looked at the young girl affectionately.

"Thank you, madam."

Keer thanked her quickly, her face flushing, with a slight excitation.

"Come on, let's get you changed."

Christina Lee took the young girl's hand and went into the bedroom.

Only Wyatt Barnes was left standing dumbfounded.

When the girl came out with Christina Lee again, she was in a new, bright set of clothes, slightly adorned by Christina.

The girl's long, ink-like hair was now tied up, her delicate face was captivating, slightly flushed, lively and delicate.

Willowy eyebrows, apricot eyes, a delicate nose, and red lips- each feature matched perfectly and flawlessly.

The slightly full chest was like a bud ready to burst open at any moment.

The slender waist, shapely bottom, and long beautiful legs gave her an elegant yet alluring appearance.

"As her name suggests, she really is an adorable girl."

Christina, standing to the side, looked at the young girl, not hesitating to heap praise on her.

"Keer, this set of clothes was what I used to wear when I was young, and I'm giving it to you now. You see, with just a little adornment, you've become quite a treat to look at. Someone can't help but keep his eyes on you, he almost wants to devour you!"

Christina cast a teasing glance at the entranced Wyatt, joking.

Christina's words caused Wyatt to laugh awkwardly and take his gaze off the girl.

The girl's transformed appearance after the makeover indeed fascinated him.

As the king of mercenaries in his previous life, he was never short of women. However, those women, while beautiful, lacked an elegant and unconventional aura.

In this aspect, they simply couldn't compare to Keer!

"Madam, I am just a maid. It is improper for me to wear such clothes."

Christina's words left the girl's beautiful face blushing like the evening sunset, clearly flattered.

"Who said you're a maid? Even if I wanted you to be one, I'm afraid someone would be unhappy…"

Christina laughed.

Wyatt Barnes was speechless.

Throughout, he hadn't said a word, and yet he'd still taken a direct hit!

Upon hearing Christina's words, the girl's face blushed even more.

Although Christina Lee and Wyatt Barnes didn't treat Keer like a maid, the sensible Keer still assumed all the house chores.

In her words, since the young master and madam kindly took her in, she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't do anything to repay them.

The kind and sensible Keer quickly gained the approval of Christina Lee and Wyatt Barnes, and was integrated into this small family.

At the Garcia estate.

In a medium-sized courtyard.

A middle-aged man paced anxiously back and forth, occasionally raising his head to glance at a bedroom not far away.

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened, and an old man came out.

"Master Davidson, how is my son?"

The middle-aged man quickly went up to him.

"Mr. Garcia, whoever did this was extremely cruel, they've almost completely shattered your son's spine...Even after taking a ninth-grade Healing Potion, there are no signs of recovery. I'm afraid I can't do anything else, please accept my condolences."

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"What?!"

The middle-aged man's face changed dramatically.

If even this ninth-grade alchemist they'd paid a fortune to bring back could do nothing, didn't it mean that his son was ruined, doomed to spend his entire life lying in bed?

"Strength Garcia!"

At that moment, a majestic middle-aged man strode in from outside the entrance, handing an exquisite box to Mr. Garcia named Strength Garcia:

"This is an eighth-grade Healing Pill, quickly give it to your son."

"Lord of the house!"

Strength Garcia was stunned.

Although he had considered asking the clan leader for the eight-rank golden healing pill.

But when he thought that it was the only eight-rank golden healing pill that the Garcia Clan had, he gave up the idea, not believing that he, as the Garcia Clan's steward, could ask for it.

Now, seeing the clan leader personally deliver the eight-rank golden healing pill, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Strength Garcia, if it wasn't for my miscreant son causing trouble, your son wouldn't have been injured. We owe you an apology... As for my miscreant son, I will punish him severely and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Justice Garcia, the clan leader of the Garcia Clan, said guiltily.

"Clan leader!"

Strength Garcia knelt down in excitement, his slight dissatisfaction in his heart completely dispelled.

"Get up quickly and give the pill to your son."

Justice Garcia added.

Strength Garcia stood up, reaching out to take the eight-rank golden healing pill from Justice Garcia's hand.

"Steward Garcia, I must speak frankly…No matter if it is the eight-rank golden healing pill or even the seventh-rank golden healing pill, it might not be able to cure your son's injury!"

An old man next to him suddenly spoke, "Unless there is the 'Bone Mending Pill', but, this Bone Mending Pill has long been extinct."

Strength Garcia's extended hand stiffened, and the hope that had just arisen in his heart was again cruelly shattered!

"Let him try it anyway."

Justice Garcia said.

"Clan leader, there's no need, I trust Master Davidson, it's not necessary to waste this precious pill medicine on my son."

Strength Garcia shook his head.

"The thing I want to do most now is to find out who disabled my son and take revenge for him!"

Strength Garcia sucked in a deep breath, the cold light of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Steward Garcia, rest assured, the Garcia Clan will do its utmost to find the culprit and give your son justice!"

Justice Garcia said with a resolute tone.

"Thank you, clan leader."

Strength Garcia expressed his gratitude.

The Lee Residence.

A shocking, thunder-like news spread throughout the Lee family.

The Lee family's genius martial artist, 'Hamza Lee', will fight against the son of Ninth Elder, 'Wyatt Barnes' in one month!

Apparently, in preparation for this battle, Mark Lee, the Seventh Elder, specially invited the clan leader and Grand Elder as witnesses.

As this news spread, it caused quite a stir in the Lee family.

"The moment when Wyatt Barnes disabled Rudy Lee's arm, I knew that Mark Lee and Hamza Lee would not let it go. I didn't expect their response to be so swift!"

Tsk tsk… Fourth layer of Body Tempering Realm challenging the First level of Body Tempering Realm, Hamza Lee is really going all out for his younger brother, not caring about his reputation at all!"

"I wonder what Wyatt Barnes was thinking, actually accepting Hamza Lee's challenge, didn't his brain get damaged when he was beaten by Rudy Lee?"

"In this battle, Hamza Lee will definitely not show any mercy, even if he can't kill Wyatt Barnes, he will definitely disable him!"

…

Almost no one was optimistic about Wyatt Barnes' chances in this battle.

One was a rising star of the Lee family, a genius martial artist who entered the fourth layer of the Body Tempering Realm at just sixteen years old, with a promising future.

The other was a nameless affiliate of the Lee family, who had recently completed his body tempering and became a first-level martial artist.

Although he defeated Rudy Lee, who was at the second layer of Body Tempering Realm, using the weird and powerful 'Collapsing Fist', no one thought he could defeat Hamza Lee.

Hamza Lee and Rudy Lee may be blood brothers, but their strength is not on the same level at all.

While the Lee family was making a fuss over this matter, Wyatt Barnes, the person involved, seemed to have disappeared.

"Done!"

Looking at the ring on his right middle finger, Wyatt Barnes revealed a smile.

With the Martial Emperor's thorough understanding of inscriptions, his first attempt to inscribe on the ring was successful.

"Hamza Lee, you'll have a surprise waiting for you."

A smirk crossed Wyatt's lips.

"Young Master, the water is ready."

At that moment, a maiden walked out from behind the screen in the bedroom, having replaced the water in the bathtub for Wyatt.

"Keer, you've worked hard, get some rest."

Wyatt Barnes walked over, gently wiping the sweat from the girl's forehead with his sleeve. His movement was extremely gentle.

"Keer, I should handle such heavy chores in the future."

His face showed a look of affection.

"Young Master, it's no problem, ever since I have been using the medicine you gave me for bathing, I am stronger…"

The young girl flexed her arm, a look of gratitude on her rosy cheeks.

"It seems that with some cultivation, our Keer will soon complete the body tempering and become a martial artist."

Wyatt Barnes gently rubbed the girl's arm, smiling.

"Young Master, Keer knows you treat me well, but Keer also understands that a family like the Lee family has its rules, and martial arts techniques cannot be casually shared … It's enough for Keer to stay with you and the lady, it doesn't matter whether or not Keer becomes a martial artist."

Keer said understandingly.

"Silly girl, I naturally won't pass on the Lee family's techniques. Okay, go and rest first, I will come to your room in the afternoon… Eh, why has your face turned so red all of a sudden, are you alright?"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, smiling.

"Young Master, you are so naughty, always bullying Keer…"

Teased by Wyatt Barnes, the young girl ran away in a panic.

Leaving Wyatt Barnes to laugh heartily.
