Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1571: The Most Ruthless Imperial Royal Family

Chapter 1571: Chapter 1571: The Most Ruthless Imperial Royal Family

"I didn’t expect Second Young Master Myles to know about the ’Magical Inscriptions’. It seems, then, that you also know how the Magical Inscriptions on Young Master Beau’s body came about?"

After hearing Myles Swayer’s voice transmission, Wyatt Barnes looked deeply at Myles Swayer, then said meaningfully.

This time, Wyatt didn’t use a voice transmission but spoke directly.

At this moment, Jordan Swayer’s gaze also became sharp, staring intently at Myles Swayer, as if trying to see whether Myles would admit it.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, what Magical Inscriptions or not, I’ve never heard of it."

Myles Swayer didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to speak out directly and was somewhat angry and embarrassed, though he dared not show it, pretending not to understand and playing dumb.

"Second Young Master Myles doesn’t know about the Magical Inscriptions? That’s quite surprising... Earlier, you were clearly the one who mentioned the Magical Inscriptions to me and even asked me to stand by and watch. Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile.

"You’re falsely accusing me!"

Noticing Jordan Swayer’s increasingly sharp gaze, Myles Swayer’s face darkened, glaring fiercely at Wyatt Barnes, "Who exactly are you? What are your intentions? Do you intend to drive a wedge between me and Brother Beau?"

"Falsely accusing?"

Wyatt Barnes laughed, "Second Young Master Myles, you repeatedly claim that I’m falsely accusing... How about this, let’s each make a Thunder Punishment Oath to see who is falsely accusing?"

As Wyatt Barnes spoke, he raised his hand, preparing to prick his finger, using blood as the medium to make a Thunder Punishment Oath.

"Who are you, to be worthy of me making a Thunder Punishment Oath against you?"

A flicker of panic appeared deep within Myles Swayer’s eyes, but outwardly, he remained aggressive, letting out a cold laugh. Without even greeting Jordan Swayer, he prepared to leave with the masked man behind him.

At that moment, Jordan Swayer seemed to disappear with the wind.

When he reappeared, he was blocking the path of Myles Swayer and the masked man.

"Elder Crawford, what do you mean by this?"

Myles Swayer frowned and said.

"I think you both can make a Thunder Punishment Oath... this way, you can each prove your innocence, right?"

Jordan Swayer said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Myles Swayer’s face slightly darkened, "Elder Crawford, who is he, to make a Thunder Punishment Oath against me? Don’t forget, this is the Swayer Family. Surely, Elder, you are not intending to side with an outsider?"

"It’s not about siding or not siding. Even if I am helping, it’s helping you, giving you a chance to clear your suspicion."

Jordan Swayer continued.

While Myles Swayer’s face grew darker and he was unable to respond, Jordan Swayer took action.

Circling around Myles Swayer, he struck at the masked man directly.

The aura of the Saint Realm expert, like dark clouds overwhelming a city, swept towards the masked man, causing the unprepared masked man’s face to change dramatically.

Though the masked man’s strength was not bad, almost at the ’Half-step Saint Realm’, he had not yet broken through to the ’Saint Realm’, leaving a significant gap between him and a Saint Realm expert.

Confronted with Jordan Swayer’s aggressive approach, the masked man dared not be careless, unleashing all his abilities without reservation.

What a joke!

For him, holding back in front of a Saint Realm expert was tantamount to courting death.

However, precisely because of this, the masked man revealed the fact that he was a ’Demon Cultivator’.

When the masked man displayed the power belonging to a Demon Cultivator, Wyatt Barnes, standing beside him, could clearly sense the Demon Sealing Monument in his Storage Ring stirring restlessly.

Wyatt Barnes directly ignored it, as it was not yet his turn to act.

"Indeed a Demon Cultivator!"

Upon discovering the masked man was a Demon Cultivator, Jordan Swayer let out a sneer, and the aura rising from his body became even more intense, clearly showing that he was serious.

Myles Swayer’s face changed dramatically, and in panic, he crushed a Jade Slip.

After the Jade Slip shattered, a beam of light as fast as lightning streaked across the sky, appearing like a meteor, and disappeared in a flash.

"A Jade Slip engraved with a ’Warning Saint Marking’?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, not unfamiliar with such a Jade Slip. Back when he was in the Moon Radiance Sect participating in the ’Hunting Assessment’, he had acquired a similar Jade Slip.

However, compared to the Jade Slip he had back then, Myles Swayer’s was clearly more advanced.

At least, when he crushed the Jade Slip to warn, even Jordan Swayer, a Saint Realm expert, failed to notice in time.

Of course, this was also because Jordan Swayer’s attention wasn’t on him.

Once Jordan Swayer realized the masked man was a Demon Cultivator, he attacked again, holding nothing back, and effortlessly slaughtered the masked man.

"Myles Swayer, you dare collude with a Demon Cultivator to harm your clan brothers!"

After killing the masked man, Jordan Swayer looked at Myles Swayer with a chilling gaze, his voice as cold as ice.

"Elder Crawford, I truly didn’t know he was a Demon Cultivator."

Even at this point, Myles Swayer remained calm, speaking in a detached tone.

"You don’t know he’s a Demon Cultivator?"

Jordan Swayer sneered, "Save those words for when you’re facing the Law Enforcement Elder."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jordan Swayer stepped forward to seize Myles Swayer, intending to take him to the Enforcement Hall.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and a medium-built middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Myles Swayer. He looked calmly at Jordan Swayer, "Elder Crawford, may I know what wrongdoing my son has committed for you to take him to see the Law Enforcement Elder?"

"Hunter Swayer, you’ve raised a fine son!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Jordan Swayer frowned and coldly snorted, "Today, no matter what, I must take him to the Enforcement Hall... colluding with a Demon Cultivator and harming his clan brother, these are serious charges!"

"Hunter Swayer?"

Upon hearing Jordan Swayer refer to the middle-aged man, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but take another look at him.

Hunter Swayer—Wyatt had heard of this name even before coming to the Swayer Family. He was the second head of the family, ranking below the family head ’Micah Swayer’ and the three Elders Ancestor. He was also a Saint Realm powerhouse.

As Jordan Swayer finished speaking, he moved to seize Myles Swayer once again.

This time, Hunter Swayer did not intervene, simply watching calmly.

When Jordan Swayer took Myles Swayer away, he turned his head and took a deep glance at Wyatt Barnes before following them to the Swayer Family’s ’Enforcement Hall.’

"This Hunter Swayer is not a simple character... Elder Crawford might not be able to handle Myles Swayer after all."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

And the result was indeed as Wyatt Barnes had predicted; although Myles Swayer was punished, it was merely three months of facing the wall at the Enforcement Hall.

"How could the punishment be so light?"

Wyatt Barnes felt puzzled about this.

"Myles Swayer stubbornly insisted that he did not know the masked man was a Demon Cultivator beforehand... Moreover, he shifted all blame related to the Demon Markings onto the Demon Cultivator that I killed, claiming he was unaware of the imprinted ’Demon Markings.’ Thus, the Enforcement Hall only charged him with associating with a Demon Cultivator."

Jordan Swayer said in a deep voice, his expression mixed with unwillingness.

"He should be made to take a Thunder Punishment oath to prove his innocence... I suspect he wouldn’t dare to take such an oath. If he doesn’t, then he’s the mastermind behind the scenes."

Wyatt Barnes remarked, believing this could resolve the issue easily.

"It’s not that simple."

Jordan Swayer shook his head with a bitter smile.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes learned the ’reason’ from Jordan Swayer.

It turned out the Swayer Family wasn’t a monolith.

Nominally ruled by the family head ’Micah Swayer,’ nearly half of the Swayer Family’s upper echelon secretly aligned with Second Master ’Hunter Swayer.’

As a result, the Swayer Family was divided into two major factions.

Additionally, the Swayer Family had five Saint Realm powerhouses, besides Micah and Hunter Swayer, there were three others.

Jordan Swayer was one of them, siding with Micah Swayer.

Among the two other Saint Realm powerhouses, one aligned with Hunter Swayer.

The last one remained neutral.

The neutral party was the strongest figure in the Swayer Family, ranking highest in seniority, even surpassing Jordan Swayer, who outranked Micah Swayer by one generation and was referred to as ’Elder Ancestor.’

According to Jordan Swayer, this ’Elder Ancestor’ hadn’t appeared for many years.

The last appearance was when Micah Swayer succeeded as the family head.

"I never thought the Swayer Family situation was so complicated... Does this mean that this matter can only be left unresolved?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Since Young Master Beau was not harmed, there’s nothing more to do... The Swayer Family may appear glamorous, but it’s full of internal and external troubles. Even the family head couldn’t easily sever ties with Hunter Swayer’s side. If they split, it would undoubtedly shake the foundation of the Swayer Family and provide an opportunity for external enemies."

Jordan Swayer sighed. Though he felt dissatisfied, he was powerless, as that’s the current trajectory of events.

"External enemies? Isn’t the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom supporting the Swayer Family?"

Wyatt Barnes frowned, "Could anyone ignore the Imperial Family and oppose the Swayer Family?"

"Imperial Family?"

Jordan Swayer shook his head, "Not to mention ’the most heartless Imperial Family,’ the relationship between our Swayer Family and the Imperial Family hinges solely on ’Honorable Concubine Lela.’ And forces daring to oppose the Swayer Family likely have similar ties or even closer connections with the Imperial Family."

"The open and covert rivalries among our families are actually condoned by the Imperial Family... They even worry when we live peacefully. Perhaps one day when peace reigns, the Imperial Family would deliberately stir conflict among us."

Jordan Swayer sighed towards the end.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, for he understood this.

The Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom naturally hoped the lesser powers below wouldn’t coexist peacefully, as such peace could lead to their rapid rise, possibly even threatening the Imperial Family’s position.

To eliminate this threat, the Imperial Family was naturally content to see lower entities bickering.
