Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1590: A Sleepless Night at Han Residence by the Blue Waves
Chapter 1590: Chapter 1590: A Sleepless Night at Han Residence by the Blue Waves
Upon learning that Keer was also pregnant, Lanni Barnes’s face turned extremely grim.
Originally, knowing he was going to have two grandchildren should have been something to be happy about... But the problem was, only one grandchild’s safety was currently ensured.
The other grandchild’s fate was still uncertain.
According to the message from his son, Wyatt Barnes, Keer had been taken by her twin sister, and her sister had been treating her well, so for now, Keer seemed to be safe.
However, the child in Keer’s belly was a different matter.
"If Keer is really considered a ’Saintess’ by the Fire Worship Sect... If people from the Fire Worship Sect find out she is pregnant, they wouldn’t just kill her but wouldn’t allow the child inside her to live either!"
This was what Lanni Barnes was most worried about.
Although he didn’t know much about the ’Fire Worship Sect,’ he knew that sects like the Fire Worship Sect did not allow their Saintesses to have much contact with men, let alone become pregnant.
"Keer’s twin sister, though a member of the Fire Worship Sect, likely wouldn’t harm her own sister... However, to protect Keer, she might choose to remove the child in Keer’s womb!"
Thinking of this, Lanni Barnes was deeply worried.
That was his grandchild!
Soon, Lanni Barnes took a deep breath, slightly calming his agitated emotions, and regained his composure.
Because he knew, being anxious now was of no use, as the situation was beyond his control.
Now, he only hoped that Keer could safely give birth to the child. Of course, if the safety of Keer was at stake and he had to choose one over the other, he would rather Keer survive well.
He believed that even his son, Wyatt Barnes, would think the same.
"Jovie, you should come back to the Mansion of Azure Clouds with me first. Your Aunt Natalie... no, I should call her Mother. Your mother has been talking about you for a long time. She will definitely be very happy to see you."
Lanni Barnes said to Jovie Lee.
"Dad, bad... Have you found him?"
Jovie originally wanted to call Wyatt Barnes ’bad egg,’ as she usually did, but in front of Lanni Barnes, she corrected herself in time as she spoke.
"The matter concerning him is somewhat complicated; we’ll discuss it on our way back."
Lanni Barnes said.
Jovie nodded obediently, and then she seemed to recall something, looking at Lanni Barnes and saying: "Dad, if I just leave like this, Julia will definitely be very worried..."
"Withered, go to the Mansion of Yearly Hanson one more time."
Lanni Barnes said to Withered. Of course, this was just what he said in front of Jovie Lee; secretly, he conveyed some messages to Withered about what things should and should not be said.
As the matter concerned his son’s future, he didn’t want to go against the wishes of the Elder Destiny.
"Yes, House Master."
Withered replied and left, going back to the Mansion of Yearly Hanson.
"Let’s set off first."
At this moment, Lanni Barnes also called out to Jovie Lee, holding his grandson, and used invisible force to carry Jovie towards the direction of the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
Soon, Withered returned to the vast residence of the Mansion of Yearly Hanson. He hovered in the void, and when he spoke, his voice, imbued with rich True Origin, swept down like a violent storm, spreading across the entire Mansion of Yearly Hanson.
"Inform Miss Julia that our Young Madam and her child have gone home with me."
This was Withered’s original words.
As Withered’s voice spread across the Mansion of Yearly Hanson, Withered also disappeared into thin air in the sky above the Mansion of Yearly, even before the Mansion’s experts could extend their Divine Sense to detect him.
However, the Mansion of Yearly Hanson was destined to be restless that night.
As the group of experts in the Mansion of Yearly Hanson was startled by Withered’s voice, the lackey beside Yearly Hanson, who was guarding outside the large courtyard arranged for Jovie Lee by Ruby for Julia, also heard the voice descending from the sky.
"Mother and child?"
Upon hearing the voice, the lackey beside Yearly Hanson immediately frowned, "Knowing Miss Julia and it’s mother and child... isn’t it referring to that woman inside and her not-long-born son?"
"Wasn’t she supposed to spend a romantic night with the Young Master?"
As the thought occurred to him, the lackey vaguely sensed something was amiss and hurried into the courtyard, arriving at the door of the room where Jovie Lee had previously stayed.
"Young Master, Young Master."
The lackey stood outside the door, called a few times, but after a while, there was no response at all, which startled him, changing his expression slightly.
Taking a deep breath, he tried pushing the door, only to find that it was ajar and easily opened.
As the door swung open, the moonlight poured into the room, revealing a horrifying scene within... A young man in fine clothing lay on the ground, his entire body stained with blood.
The body had more than a dozen bloody holes, making it impossible to distinguish his appearance.
However, having followed Yearly Hanson for years, the lackey knew Yearly Hanson so well that he instantly confirmed that this young man in fine clothing was indeed his Young Master, Yearly Hanson.
"Young Master!!"
Seeing this, the lackey couldn’t help but cry out in fear.
And as his cry echoed, a ghostly figure appeared behind him, and a cold voice asked: "Why are you here?"
"Lord Ruby, Young Master he... he..."
The person who arrived was ’Ruby,’ who had just rushed back.
Upon hearing the voice that descended from the sky, the first thought that flashed through her mind was that someone had taken Jovie Lee and her son away.
So she rushed back immediately.
However, even though she hurried back, she found Yearly Hanson’s lackey standing outside Jovie Lee’s room, which made her face change drastically, and she quickly rushed inside.
Once inside, she discovered Yearly Hanson’s corpse.
Yearly Hanson’s appearance was already unrecognizable, but she recognized his clothes.
Her face immediately darkened, realizing the reason why Yearly Hanson appeared here, and her gaze toward him revealed a cold killing intent.
Realizing that Yearly Hanson was already dead, she looked at the bewildered lackey standing at the door and asked sternly, "What exactly happened here?"
"I... I don’t know."
The lackey shook his head; he truly knew nothing.
"Why are you here? And why is he here?"
Ruby asked with a somber expression.
Under Ruby’s severe gaze and realizing Yearly Hanson was dead, the lackey dared not hide anything, and truthfully recounted the events.
Including the diversion of Ruby.
"Brought it upon himself!"
After hearing the whole story, this was the first thought that came to Ruby’s mind. Regardless of who killed Yearly Hanson, she felt his death was well-deserved.
However, moments later, she felt a bit puzzled.
"Calling Jovie Lee the Young Madam... and Jovie Lee’s man is Wyatt Barnes! I heard Miss Julia mention that Wyatt Barnes’ father is also a strong figure in the Martial Dao Sacred Land... Could it be that his men came to take Jovie Lee and her son?"
The more Ruby thought about it, the more certain she became, and she felt relieved.
If it were truly like this, it would be easier to explain to Miss Julia.
"Yearly!!"
Meanwhile, when the Mansion of Azure Clouds quieted down after being disturbed by the voice descending from the sky, a furious roar arose, stirring up the entire Mansion of Azure Clouds once again.
"He found out."
Upon hearing this roar, Ruby smiled wryly; she could tell it was the voice of their Mansion of Azure Clouds’ Elder.
And that Elder was Yearly Hanson’s grandfather.
Yearly Hanson was also his only grandson.
Now, hearing his angry roar, it was clear he had discovered Yearly Hanson’s death.
More precisely, the Elder had already discovered Yearly Hanson’s Soul Bead was shattered.
She glanced around the room and noticed it wasn’t chaotic, leading Ruby to guess some things, "In other words, when Yearly Hanson had ill intentions, Wyatt Barnes’ father’s men happened to arrive and killed Yearly Hanson and took Jovie Lee and her son away?"
Thinking of this, Ruby also breathed a sigh of relief.
If something had happened to Jovie Lee, not to mention Miss Julia wouldn’t forgive her, she wouldn’t forgive herself either.
Fortunately, Jovie Lee was safe.
As for Yearly Hanson’s death, she didn’t care because she never liked Yearly Hanson before. If it weren’t for Yearly Hanson’s grandfather being the Elder of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, she might have personally dealt with Yearly Hanson long ago.
"It’s... it’s the Elder!"
Yearly Hanson’s lackey outside turned deathly pale upon hearing the furious roar shaking the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
He could imagine that if the Elder found out something happened to his grandson, he would surely not spare him.
After all, he was someone who followed Yearly Hanson.
Even if he wasn’t an accomplice, he was still a person from Yearly Hanson’s side; Yearly Hanson died, and he was unscathed... How would the Elder perceive this?
Thinking about it filled him with despair.
"Lord Ruby, you must help me... I had nothing to do with this! I also advised the Young Master not to provoke Miss Julia’s guests, but he wouldn’t listen."
The lackey knelt before Ruby, pleading frantically.
"I cannot help you in this matter... When the Elder arrives, just tell the truth."
Ruby said calmly.
As she spoke, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "If you dare to deceive in front of the Elder, even if he spares you, I won’t!"
Ruby’s words sent a shiver down the lackey’s spine, and he lowered his head, "Lord Ruby, I understand... I understand."
The Elder’s wrath from the Mansion of Azure Clouds naturally had enormous implications.
Soon, Jovie Lee’s former room was filled not just with Ruby and Yearly Hanson’s lackey, but also the Elder of the Mansion of Azure Clouds and its two Protectors.
Of course, it was partly because the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds was away recently; otherwise, he would surely be present as well.
"Yearly!"
The Elder of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, an aged man in blue attire, looked at Yearly Hanson’s corpse with reddened eyes, exuding a fearsome aura that seemed to lower the room’s temperature slightly.
