Chapter 2956: Stone Gambling?

Ten days later.

A giant city, comparable to the capital of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, appeared before Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, this was also because Elder Inky had slowed down.

Otherwise, with Wyatt’s current vision, he wouldn’t be able to see the surroundings if Elder Inky hadn’t slowed down.

"Ahead is the capital of the Singles Kingdom... The royal auction will be held in five days. During these five days, the Singles Kingdom’s royal family has arranged accommodations for us in the palace."

As the city ahead approached, Ismael Yellow spoke at the right moment.

A moment later, the group entered the city ahead, which was the Singles Kingdom’s capital.

The Singles Kingdom’s capital is very similar to the capital of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, covering a vast area with roads extending in all directions, and carriages and horses flowing continuously.

Before entering the city, Elder Inky had concealed his true form and transformed back into a human shape, revealing the figure of a thin old man in a black robe.

Led by Ismael Yellow, Wyatt and his group crossed through numerous continents of the Fletcher Kingdom and headed directly to the palace gates of the Singles Kingdom.

"I am the City Lord of Ducoin City in the Autumn Holding Kingdom, ’Ismael Yellow’, here to participate in the royal auction your Singles Kingdom will hold in five days."

Ismael Yellow directly informed the guards at the palace gates of his identity, and shortly after the guard went in to report, someone came out to welcome Wyatt’s group.

"Haha... City Lord Yellow, it truly is you. The last time we met, I believe it was ten years ago?"

Greeting Wyatt’s group was a middle-aged man wearing a silver light armor, tall and robust, comparable to Greene Buckingham.

"Commander Ho, you coming out personally truly leaves me flattered."

Ismael Yellow greeted the man with a bow.

"Did Elder Inky come too?"

As he smiled back at Ismael Yellow, the man also noticed Elder Inky standing behind him and quickly bowed respectfully.

He knew that this old man not only had an unusual background but was also a powerful Immortal King!

"Judah Ho, ten years ago, we had a draw... This time, we must have another battle for fun!"

Standing beside Elder Inky, Greene Buckingham, apparently recognizing the man, smiled and said.

The name Greene used for the man clearly indicates that his name is ’Judah Ho’.

"Greene, although we fought to a draw back then, it was merely sparring and not a life and death battle... If it were truly life and death, with you in your true form, I would not stand a chance!"

Upon hearing Greene’s words, Judah Ho looked at him and said with a wry smile.

"You have a good sense of self-awareness... Now, ten years have passed, and I assume you’ve made significant progress. I rarely get such an opportunity, so you must have a bout with me!"

Greene looked at Judah Ho, rubbing his hands together eagerly, his fighting spirit rising irrepressibly!

"If you truly want to fight, then let’s have a battle outside the city after the royal auction... At that time, you don’t need to hold back, just transform into your true form and fight me."

Upon hearing Greene’s words and sensing his fighting spirit, a glimmer flashed in Judah Ho’s eyes, evidently eager to try.

"Haha... Alright! It seems your strength has improved significantly over the years, Judah Ho. If it were ten years ago, you certainly wouldn’t dare ask me to transform into my true form and fight you."

Greene laughed heartily, showing no fear of Judah Ho’s powerful response, instead intensifying his fighting spirit.

"If you two are to fight, wait until after the auction... Commander Ho, this is my fourth son ’Emanuel Yellow’, whom you’ve met years ago."

Seeing Greene and Judah Ho eager to battle immediately, Ismael Yellow quickly changed the subject, first glancing at his son Emanuel Yellow, and then looking at Wyatt:

"As for this one, he’s a friend of my son, Wyatt Barnes. This time, the Autumn Holding Kingdom Emperor sent me to bid on a Gold Thread Worm, precisely to help him achieve the peak of Upper Immortal Love Rowan!"

Ismael Yellow said.

Just as Judah Ho’s gaze landed on Emanuel Yellow, ready to greet him, Ismael Yellow’s next words reached his ears, prompting a reflex to shift his gaze from Emanuel Yellow to Wyatt.

"You... you are Wyatt Barnes?!"

Judah Ho looked at Wyatt, his pupils involuntarily shrinking slightly, then assessed Wyatt up and down as if trying to discern what was special about him.

Due to its proximity to the Autumn Holding Kingdom, news regarding a prodigy suddenly emerging on the South Heaven platform in the Autumn Holding Kingdom had reached the Singles Kingdom.

Under a hundred years old, defeating the Junior City Lord of Ducoin City, Emanuel Yellow, in one move!

Others might not know Emanuel Yellow’s talent and strength, but he did, and precisely because of this, he was startled by the skill of the one who defeated Emanuel Yellow.

Especially upon learning that the person who defeated Emanuel Yellow was a young man under a hundred, his astonishment intensified!

"Hold on..."

Before Wyatt could respond, Judah Ho suddenly seemed to have an epiphany, swiftly turning to Ismael Yellow, "City Lord Yellow, you... you mentioned earlier that you’re here to bid on a Gold Thread Worm precisely to help him achieve the peak of Upper Immortal Love Rowan?"

"Are you implying... that he... he... he’s currently only a Heaven Realm Upper Immortal Love Rowan?!"

Judah Ho’s gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes again, and it was as if he had seen a ghost.

Could this be another monstrous talent like the one from Eastbright Kingdom who comprehended the Law Rule?

Under a hundred years old, a Heavenly Immortal, defeating Emanuel Yellow, who was at the peak of Heavenly Immortal, in one move...

In his view, unless one comprehends the Law Rule, it’s basically impossible to achieve this!

"Haha... Judah Ho, are you scared stiff?"

Seeing Judah Ho’s expression, Greene Buckingham laughed heartily, looking pleased. "Among the nine you picked in your Singles Kingdom’s recent Southern Sky Arena, none should be as monstrous as this little guy, right?"

"Hmph!"

Judah Ho glanced at Greene Buckingham indifferently and snorted, "Greene Buckingham, I’m scared by this young Brother Barnes, not by you... What are you so smug about?"

After saying this, Judah Ho ignored Greene Buckingham and looked at Ismael Yellow with a wry smile, "I was wondering why City Lord Yellow would personally lead the team over... So, the Autumn Holding Kingdom found a monstrous talent not weaker than the one from Eastbright Kingdom!"

Meanwhile, Judah Ho also realized that he shouldn’t let Wyatt Barnes and others stand at the palace gate any longer, and he quickly made a ’please’ gesture:

"City Lord Yellow, Elder Inky, young Brother Barnes, Bradley, my dear nephew, please come in."

Judah Ho greeted the four without acknowledging Greene Buckingham. However, Greene Buckingham didn’t mind and swaggered in with the four of them, following Judah Ho into the palace.

The Singles Kingdom’s palace, apart from being as expansive as the Autumn Holding Kingdom’s palace, had architectural features, layout, and planning that were completely different from the Autumn Holding Kingdom’s.

The Autumn Holding Kingdom emphasized grandeur, simplicity, and returning to innocence... while the Singles Kingdom’s palace valued splendor, magnificence, with gold decorations, and various rare treasures everywhere.

"Brother Barnes, this Judah Ho is the Forbidden Troops Commander of the Singles Kingdom palace, and he is also a formidable Ten Direction Immortal Lord..."

"Ten years ago, he came to the Autumn Holding Kingdom on the Emperor’s orders, visited our Ducoin City, and thus got acquainted with my father and became friends with Uncle Buckingham accidentally through conflict."

"Don’t be fooled by Uncle Buckingham and him opposing each other on the surface... His friendship with Uncle Buckingham is actually much deeper than with my father."

After entering the palace, Emanuel Yellow aptly introduced Judah Ho to Wyatt Barnes through sound transmission.

Although Wyatt Barnes had already deduced from Judah Ho and Greene Buckingham’s speech exchanges that Judah Ho was not weak—most likely a Ten Direction Immortal Lord—

he didn’t expect Judah Ho to turn out to be the Forbidden Troops Commander of the Singles Kingdom palace!

In the Autumn Holding Kingdom, only two people could be called the left and right arms of the Autumn Holding Kingdom.

One of them was the City Lord of Ducoin City, Ismael Yellow; the other was the elusive Forbidden Troops Commander of the Autumn Holding Kingdom.

Evidently, since Judah Ho could become the Forbidden Troops Commander of the Singles Kingdom palace, he must be someone greatly trusted and close to the Single Kingdom’s Emperor.

Before arriving at the accommodation arranged by the Autumn Holding Kingdom royal family for Wyatt Barnes and his group, along the way, Judah Ho’s gaze occasionally fell on Wyatt Barnes, with a peculiar gleam, pondering something unknown.

Regarding this, Wyatt Barnes noticed but didn’t mind.

Soon, they arrived at the accommodation within the palace arranged by the Autumn Holding Kingdom royal family for Wyatt Barnes and his group, a vast palace with six large courtyards, facing each other with a path in between, three courtyards on each side.

"City Lord Yellow, you’ve had a long journey, and you’re surely tired. Please rest first... I’ll come for you in five days to take you to the auction site."

After arranging Wyatt Barnes and his group, Judah Ho greeted Ismael Yellow and left.

"Father!"

However, Emanuel Yellow had no intention of resting. He looked at Ismael Yellow and smilingly said, "I want to go with Brother Barnes to tour the West Market of the Singles Kingdom... Can you ask Grandpa Inky or Uncle Buckingham to accompany us?"

Emanuel Yellow was no fool. This wasn’t the Autumn Holding Kingdom; venturing out without protection from powerful warriors could prove dangerous.

"West Market?"

Ismael Yellow gave Emanuel Yellow a deep look, "As far as I know, the West Market in the Capital City of the Singles Kingdom is famous for ’stone gambling’... You want to take Wyatt to gamble on stones, right?"

"Hehe..."

Emanuel Yellow chuckled, not denying it, because he knew denial would be useless; his father wasn’t one to be underestimated.

"Stone gambling?"

Wyatt Barnes was startled. Stone gambling in the Celestial planes too?

In his previous life on Earth, he had heard of stone gambling, which generally involved using one’s vision to evaluate the uncut stone. If there were jade, you’d profit once it’s cut.

Conversely, you would lose.

"I wonder how stone gambling in the Celestial planes differs from stone gambling on Earth..."

Wyatt Barnes mused.

"Faraway, I’ll go with them."

Greene Buckingham stepped forward.
