Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1579: "Mr. Barnes

At this moment, nearly half a month has passed since the Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, Mr. Barnes, issued a challenge to Floating Flame Sect’s disciple, Miss Romero.

In this nearly half-month period, this duel has spread through the mouths of some Floating Flame Sect disciples. Although it hasn’t been long, almost half of Fletcher Kingdom’s people have received the news.

For a time, this duel became the ’grand event’ that half of Fletcher Kingdom’s people focused on.

Indeed, many powerful individuals have sent invitations to the Floating Flame Sect, preparing to arrive before the duel date to watch the duel.

One of the duel participants, Miss Romero of the Floating Flame Sect, is known by almost everyone in Fletcher Kingdom.

Miss Romero rose a year ago and became famous after bursting into the rankings of the Heavenly List.

If she wasn’t very famous at that time, six months later, Miss Romero became completely known to the people of Fletcher Kingdom, and even in Ridge South’s Anderson Manor, she has some notoriety.

It’s because six months after Miss Romero squeezed into the bottom ranking of the Heavenly List, she struck again, defeating the twenty-third ranked person and taking their place, becoming ranked twenty-third.

Now, six months have passed since Miss Romero moved up to twenty-third in the Heavenly List.

Based on Miss Romero’s progress in the previous six months, most people believe that she is now nine times out of ten capable of reaching the top ten of the Heavenly List.

However, if she wants to break into the top ten of the Heavenly List, she must leave Fletcher Kingdom.

It’s because none of those who rank in the top ten on the Heavenly List, peak Entering the Saint Realm experts, are from Fletcher Kingdom.

The other participant in the duel, Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, Mr. Barnes, is barely known by anyone, and before this, no one had heard of such a person existing in Fletcher Kingdom.

In just less than half a month, with some deliberate efforts from the curious, people have managed to uncover some information about Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, Mr. Barnes.

Mr. Barnes appeared in the Swayer Family two months ago and upon his arrival, cured the strange illness of the family’s elder son, Young Master Beau.

Keep in mind, before that, almost everyone believed Young Master Beau was doomed.

Even the fourth-ranked Saint Refiner from Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family was helpless against his illness, asserting that Beau wasn’t just sick, but had caught something unclean, cursed.

When the fourth-ranked Saint Refiner from the Imperial Family pronounced Beau’s death sentence, almost no one thought Beau could survive.

Mr. Barnes showed up.

Upon appearance, he spent just a month and a half pulling Young Master Beau back from Hell Gate, restoring him to full health, like a person without a scratch.

Moreover, it’s heard that Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, Mr. Barnes, will have Young Master Beau accompany him in this challenge against Floating Flame Sect’s Miss Romero.

Suddenly, everyone was astonished.

Who exactly is Mr. Barnes, to cure an illness that even a fourth-ranked Saint Refiner, dedicated to medicine, was powerless against? It’s practically magical.

Some interested parties have begun deliberately digging into all matters of Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, Mr. Barnes, but haven’t even gotten his name, only knowing the Swayer Family reverentially calls him ’Mr. Barnes’, including the family head.

This Mr. Barnes seems to have appeared in Fletcher Kingdom from thin air; before this, no trace of his existence could be found.

In the eyes of Fletcher Kingdom’s people at this time, as the Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister, Wyatt Barnes is shrouded in a veil of mystery.

Even many power factions who send invitations people particularly want to witness the Heavenly List challenge, more so to see ’Wyatt Barnes’, the Swayer Family’s mysterious Honorary Minister, and discover what kind of person he is.

Among them, the factions usually at odds with the Swayer Family are the most active.

They have been openly and secretly competing with the Swayer Family for many years and had always known the Swayer Family well, however, a sudden appearance of a Mr. Barnes made them feel immense pressure.

The pressure naturally wasn’t from Mr. Barnes’s strength.

Challenging a Heavenly List expert sufficiently shows Mr. Barnes is only a martial artist or Taoist cultivator at the Entering the Saint Realm, posing no threat to them.

The pressure felt mostly comes from the ’mystery’ Mr. Barnes subtly exudes.

After all, he cured a strange illness that even a fourth-ranked Saint Refiner and a group of Saint Realm experts were powerless against, which isn’t something a common martial artist or Taoist cultivator at the Entering the Saint Realm can accomplish.

Thus, even before Wyatt Barnes and Floating Flame Sect’s Miss Romero’s duel began, Wyatt Barnes became renowned in Fletcher Kingdom.

Of course, his fame mainly comes from healing Young Master Beau.

Young Master Beau’s strange illness had spread throughout Fletcher Kingdom, almost everyone knew of it; many even traveled thousands of miles to the Capital City, hoping to claim the reward posted by the Swayer Family, yet none succeeded.

Even Wyatt Barnes was a bit surprised when he first heard it from Young Master Beau.

"Mr. Barnes, your reputation is already spreading widely throughout Fletcher Kingdom... even if you lose in your duel with Floating Flame Sect’s Miss Romero, as soon as you state your name, your name will sweep through Fletcher Kingdom like a hurricane! Then, as long as your brother is in Fletcher Kingdom, he will surely know you’re with our Swayer Family and come to find you."

Young Master Beau said smilingly to Wyatt Barnes.

"What? Young Master Beau has such little confidence in me?"

Hearing Beau Swayer’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile and asked somewhat mockingly.

Upon hearing this, Beau Swayer gave an awkward smile, quickly trying to remedy his statement: "Of course not, I was just presenting one possibility."

Although he indeed felt that Wyatt Barnes might not stand a chance against Miss Romero from the Floating Flame Sect, he dared not voice this in front of Wyatt Barnes, afraid of angering him.

However, he underestimated Wyatt Barnes’s magnanimity.

When he inadvertently made those comments, Wyatt Barnes could already guess his inner thoughts, yet he didn’t mind.

Wyatt Barnes knew very well that some things, no matter how eloquent he might be, would be hard to convince others of.

The only way to make others believe is through actual deeds!

So, after hearing Beau Swayer’s explanation, Wyatt Barnes didn’t pursue the topic further and instead changed the subject, "Young Master Beau, in a month, Myles Swayer’s three-month seclusion will be complete... At that time, he will leave the Enforcement Hall. Since he failed this time, we don’t know what he’ll come up with to deal with you next. What’s your plan?"

As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes looked at Beau Swayer and asked.

Upon Wyatt Barnes mentioning ’Myles Swayer,’ Beau Swayer’s face immediately seemed to overlay with a layer of frost, chilling to the bone.

Myles Swayer was the main culprit who almost cost him his life last time.

Due to certain reasons, he and his father couldn’t completely turn against Beau Swayer’s lineage, so they settled the matter by letting it end with the Demon Cultivator’s death.

However, in his heart, this matter could never truly be over.

After all, he nearly died!

If he had died, the future of the Swayer Family would certainly be dominated by Myles Swayer.

And if Myles Swayer became the head of the Swayer Family, with his ruthlessness, Beau Swayer and his father’s lineage would undoubtedly face a dire fate.

"Mr. Barnes, although I’ve heard of some of Myles Swayer’s deeds before, I never thought he would strike at me so viciously... Having suffered once, I will not suffer a second time!"

After taking a deep breath, Beau Swayer spoke slowly, his tone growing colder, akin to being in an ice cave.

"As long as you are aware."

Wyatt Barnes smiled lightly, holding Beau Swayer in high regard.

As for Myles Swayer, he harbored no fondness.

"If you need my help, don’t hesitate."

Wyatt Barnes added.

"Thank you, Mr. Barnes."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ support, Beau Swayer’s eyes suddenly brightened. He quickly bowed to express his gratitude, performing the courtesy of a junior.

Although Wyatt Barnes might be younger by a year or two, in his heart, Wyatt Barnes held a highly esteemed position, and he didn’t consider him an equal.

"At our current pace, we should reach the ’Floating Flame Sect’ by this afternoon, right?"

Looking at the blazing sun on the horizon, Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile.

"Yes, we’ll arrive this afternoon."

Beau Swayer nodded, "Once we arrive, we’ll rest at the Floating Flame Sect for a night... Tomorrow, we’ll familiarize ourselves with the sect’s environment, and as ’guests’ of the Floating Flame Sect, we’ll tour the grounds. As for your scheduled match with Miss Romero from the Floating Flame Sect, it’s set for the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm, your arrangements are fine."

Wyatt Barnes nodded. Although Beau Swayer wasn’t much older than him, in handling certain matters, even he couldn’t keep up.

The phrase ’every field has its expert’ perfectly describes such a scenario.

Leaving the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, heading towards the Floating Flame Sect, Wyatt Barnes and his entourage naturally included more than just him, Beau Swayer, and Jordan Swayer.

Additionally, there were five individuals hidden in the shadows.

If not for Wyatt Barnes’s experience in counter-surveillance from his previous life, he might never have noticed these five individuals.

These five people lurked in the dark like dormant poisonous snakes, poised to strike and possibly kill at any moment.

"Five ’Half-Saint Realm’ individuals... And they seem to have practiced some kind of body-concealing secret art. Apart from me, those below the Saint Realm likely wouldn’t be able to detect them."

After activating the ’Heavenly Eye,’ Wyatt Barnes could clearly sense the formidable aura faintly emanating from these five hidden individuals.

Though they remained concealed, they couldn’t escape Wyatt Barnes’s ’Heavenly Eye,’ completely exposed to Wyatt Barnes’s view.
