Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1626: The Swayer Family Gets Caught in the Crossfire

Chapter 1626: Chapter 1626: The Swayer Family Gets Caught in the Crossfire

Of course, when we say three months here, we mean three months outside.

Inside the Jewel Tower, however, a full fifteen months have passed, which is one year and three months.

"Family Head Swayer, immediately announce to the public... From today, I, Wyatt Barnes, officially depart from the Swayer Family, and am no longer an Honorary Minister of the Swayer Family."

Wyatt Barnes said to Micah Swayer.

"Mr. Barnes, you don’t have to do this!"

Beau Swayer’s expression changed dramatically, not expecting Wyatt Barnes to make such a direct choice.

"Mr. Barnes, perhaps from the perspective of the Family Head, I might wish for you to leave the Swayer Family... However, as a father, I cannot fathom the words to let you depart from the Swayer Family! After all, you saved my son’s life."

Micah Swayer looked at Wyatt Barnes, speaking gravely.

Beau Swayer is his only son!

"Mr. Barnes, there’s no rush to make a decision... let’s think of another way. Perhaps there’s a better solution, one that doesn’t require you to leave the Swayer Family."

In the end, Micah Swayer also pleaded for Wyatt to stay.

Upon hearing Myles Swayer’s words, a typically calm Wyatt Barnes unexpectedly smiled.

"Mr. Barnes, you..."

Seeing the smile on Wyatt Barnes’ face, both Micah Swayer and Beau Swayer were bewildered, unsure why Wyatt was smiling.

"Family Head Swayer, it’s already commendable that you can say such words."

Wyatt Barnes said, "As for my decision, it will not change... Of course, my decision has nothing to do with you or Young Master Beau. I never planned to stay long in the Fletcher Kingdom, and leaving was only a matter of time."

"Indeed, although I am leaving the Swayer Family and no longer serve as an Honorary Minister, I will remain with the Swayer Family for a while longer. In some time, I will officially leave the Swayer Family and the Fletcher Kingdom."

Wyatt Barnes continued.

Currently in the Fletcher Kingdom, with Taoi Romero and others settled, there is nothing left that concerns him.

What he needs to do is quickly identify the force behind Julia and look for his fiancée, ’Jovie Lee.’

His time in the capital of the Fletcher Kingdom hasn’t been short, and he has gathered a lot of useful information, initially identifying the force behind Karina Hanson as the one known as ’Azure Wave Hanson Manor.’

Next, he plans to head to ’Azure Wave Hanson Manor’!

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, both Micah Swayer and Beau Swayer were silent, as they had long known Wyatt would leave someday, but didn’t expect it to be so soon.

"Mr. Barnes, even if you’re leaving, there’s no need to cut ties with our Swayer Family."

Beau Swayer insisted.

"Young Master Beau, my mind is made up, no need to persuade me."

Wyatt Barnes smiled, speaking as if he had seen through the mundane world.

"However, when announcing my departure from the Swayer Family as an Honorary Minister, I also ask Family Head Swayer to issue another statement on my behalf... I, Wyatt Barnes, in my personal capacity, accept the challenge of the top-ranked champion from Anderson Manor in Ridge South’s Heavenly List! As for the date, he can decide."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Micah Swayer and said something that left both Micah Swayer and Beau Swayer dumbfounded.

Mr. Barnes actually wants to accept a challenge from the strongman of Anderson Manor in Ridge South?

This made it impossible for them not to be stunned.

Previously, when they heard Wyatt Barnes’ decision to leave the Swayer Family, they naturally assumed it was because Wyatt Barnes couldn’t dare to accept the challenge from that strongman.

But now, it seems that’s not the case.

"Mr. Barnes, are you... confident?"

Micah Swayer asked in a daze.

"Would I accept the challenge if I wasn’t confident?"

Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly, thinking of the top-ranked champion of the Heavenly List. Even before his recent closure, he didn’t fear, let alone now.

"Mr. Barnes, if you’re so confident, then there’s even less need for you to leave our Swayer Family."

Micah Swayer added.

"Family Head Swayer, please first help me relay the news."

Wyatt Barnes changed the topic, clearly not wanting to change his decision.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes resolute in his decision, Micah Swayer sighed inwardly but didn’t persist, realizing his efforts would be futile.

This Mr. Barnes isn’t someone who changes his mind easily.

The capital city of the Fletcher Kingdom was buzzing with a new hot topic, and immediately another bombshell news came, causing the entire capital to stir.

The Swayer Family announced:

Honorary Minister Mr. Barnes announced his departure from the Swayer Family and henceforth will no longer be part of it.

"Mr. Barnes actually announced his departure from the Swayer Family?"

"Seems he truly hasn’t retreated into seclusion."

"Hmph! Is he scared of the top-ranked champion from Anderson Manor in Ridge South?"

"Isn’t it obvious? If he wasn’t scared, why would he make such a decision... Knowing that lately, because of him, many have been saying ’King Honorston’s Palace is not as good as King Archer’s Palace?’"

"Once Wyatt Barnes leaves the Swayer Family, he’ll have no ties with King Honorston’s Palace, and naturally, no one will compare them to King Archer’s Palace."

"Looks like over the past two months, Wyatt Barnes really was hiding because he feared the strongman from Anderson Manor... Hah! I even once idolized him, thinking he was truly in deep seclusion."

"You were too naive."

...

Throughout the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, similar discussions filled the air.

All of this stemmed from the announcement that Wyatt Barnes was separating from the Swayer Family, leading nearly everyone to believe that Wyatt made this decision because he was afraid to confront the formidable figure from Anderson Manor in Ridge South.

This belief was shared even within King Archer’s residence.

"He actually announced his separation from the Swayer Family?"

Upon hearing this news, King Archer was taken aback and turned to look at the middle-aged man standing below, who was drenched in cold sweat. "Hunter Swayer, is this your strategy?"

The middle-aged man was none other than Hunter Swayer, the Swayer Family’s Second Master from the past.

A few days ago, King Archer instructed Hemingway Wood not to meddle in this matter and subsequently sought Hunter Swayer’s counsel. He asked Hunter if there was a way to provoke Wyatt Barnes into action, and Hunter confidently pledged to achieve this.

The shift in public sentiment within the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom over these days was actually orchestrated by him behind the scenes.

He had one goal: to put pressure on King Honorston’s residence.

King Honorston’s residence, concerned with its reputation, would naturally follow suit and press the Swayer Family... In his view, at that point, Wyatt Barnes would find it difficult not to act.

However, to his great surprise, after several days, the news came that Wyatt Barnes wanted to break away from the Swayer Family.

This was completely unlike what he had envisioned!

In his impression, Wyatt Barnes was a proud and resolute young man, and under such circumstances, it seemed impossible for him to avoid the battle.

But now, it seems he was mistaken.

Hemingway Wood stood on the other side, looking at Hunter Swayer with a somewhat mocking gaze.

As the public opinion in the Capital City shifted over these days, he guessed Hunter Swayer’s intentions, which greatly displeased him.

His displeasure stemmed from his initial belief that Hunter Swayer’s method might be effective... But now that it turned out otherwise, he couldn’t help but feel a smug satisfaction, thinking, "This is what you get for trying to take all the credit; now you know strategies can’t be carelessly offered, right?"

"Hunter Swayer, are you speechless now?"

Seeing Hunter Swayer standing there, dumbfounded and silent, King Archer’s expression grew even more sullen.

"Your Highness, I didn’t expect things to..."

Hunter Swayer took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a voice from outside, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, good news! Good news!"

A middle-aged man, without permission, barged in directly.

"Don’t you know the rules?"

King Archer’s already gloomy face turned even darker.

"Forgive me, Your Highness the Fourth Prince! But this news is indeed urgent... Your Highness the Fourth Prince, the Swayer Family released another message stating that after Wyatt Barnes announced his separation from the Swayer Family, he will challenge Mr. Lin in his own name!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, King Archer was stunned, his gloomy expression vanished, eyes shining like the brilliant stars in the night sky.

"He’s challenging him?"

The once cold-sweating Hunter Swayer also shone with excitement and joy upon hearing the middle-aged intruder’s words.

This news came at a very timely moment!

At that time, both King Archer and Hunter Swayer were overjoyed.

If there was anyone present who wasn’t pleased, it could only be Hemingway Wood.

"Damn it! Wyatt Barnes actually accepted the challenge... Why didn’t he do it earlier?"

Hemingway Wood’s face was extremely displeased, but at this moment, no one paid attention to him.

"Quick! Go invite Mr. Lin immediately,"

King Archer urgently instructed the middle-aged man.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man responded and left.

At the same time, this news spread throughout the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom.

In an instant, this even more astonishing news completely overshadowed the previous "shocking news."

"Mr. Barnes has announced his departure from the Swayer Family and will challenge the top expert from Anderson Manor’s ’Heavenly List’ in his own name?"

Many people’s eyes lit up, faces full of anticipation.

"I knew it, my idol would never retreat without fighting!"

"How come I remember you were still disparaging Mr. Barnes this morning? How did you suddenly change your tune?"

"Pfft! Don’t wrongfully accuse me, I never said that."

"I’m sure you did! Dare to take a Thunder Punishment oath?"

"..."

Similar discussions played out throughout the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom.

In an instant, Wyatt Barnes’s reputation, which had plummeted, suddenly soared from Hell to heaven, and he was praised everywhere in the Capital City.

Meanwhile, it was the Swayer Family that ended up being criticized.

"Hmph! It must be that the Swayer Family forced Mr. Barnes to leave... I really want to see what expression the Swayer Family will have if Mr. Barnes wins this battle."

"Swayer Family? Pfft! Ungrateful wretches! Have they forgotten how Mr. Barnes once pulled their eldest young master back from Hell Gate?"
