Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1625: The First on the Heavenly Ranking

The gray-clothed elder, the leader of the Fletcher Kingdom branch of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, knew very well what the ’heavy’ painting in his hand meant.

This painting was directly conveyed from the headquarters of their Shadow Mountain Black Market.

Any branch, as long as they could find the person in the painting, could receive a significant reward.

If they could bring the person in the painting back to the headquarters, the leader of that branch would have the opportunity to follow the highest leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market for ten years and receive his guidance.

This latter temptation was enough to drive anyone crazy!

The highest leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market was the most esteemed leader within the organization and was also a top expert in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

To be able to follow such a formidable person for ten years and receive his guidance was undoubtedly a dream come true.

For this reason, when the elder heard the news reminding him of a young man who had stirred up the Fletcher Kingdom months ago named ’Wyatt Barnes’, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Jing Yuan, take a trip to the capital city of the Fletcher Kingdom and meet with that Swayer Family honorary minister there to see if he is the person in the portrait."

The leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market’s Fletcher Kingdom branch, ’Hayden’, handed the painting to the middle-aged man with a wave of his hand, "Once you’ve copied this painting, set off."

"Yes, Leader."

Jing Yuan nodded solemnly, taking the portrait and leaving.

If Wyatt Barnes were here and saw the painting in Hayden’s hand, he would be astonished to find out that the person in the portrait was indeed him, portrayed vividly and with extreme likeness.

The capital city of Fletcher Kingdom, at King Archer’s mansion.

"King Archer, if that Wyatt Barnes continues to hide within ten days, I’ll have no choice but to return to Anderson Manor in Ridge South... I can only suppress my cultivation for at most another month."

In the main hall of King Archer’s mansion, a young man in a white robe lightly glanced at the Fourth Prince, King Archer, and said.

His words came out without any consideration, as if he did not regard the other party as a prince at all.

A trace of anger flickered in the depths of King Archer’s eyes, but he suppressed it, forcing a smile, "Mr. Lynch, rest assured, within ten days, even if Wyatt Barnes doesn’t want to come out, he will! To be challenged by the number one on the Heavenly List from the distant Anderson Manor in Ridge South is his fortune. His avoidance is really ignorant!"

"There’s no need to flatter me. I’m here only for the reward you promised... If he doesn’t show up within ten days, I’ll leave. As for the deposit, it won’t be refunded!"

The white-robed young man, Kash Lynch, said indifferently, appearing quite unsympathetic.

"Of course, of course."

Despite Kash Lynch’s lack of understanding, King Archer did not dare to show any anger.

The young man in front of him was not only the number one person on the Heavenly List in the region of Anderson Manor in Ridge South but also a member of a powerful six-tier family within the Anderson Manor. That family was not inferior to the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom in strength.

The white-robed young man was also a direct descendant of that family.

Two months ago, he had invited this number one person on the Heavenly List from the Lin Family of Anderson Manor to the Fletcher Kingdom specifically to kill Wyatt Barnes and seize the Storage Ring from Wyatt Barnes.

To be precise, it was to seize the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in Wyatt Barnes’ Storage Ring!

Of course, regarding the matter of the Demon Sealing Monument, he did not disclose it to the white-robed youth ’Kash Lynch’, only mentioning that he wanted some things inside Wyatt’s Storage Ring that were extremely important to him.

The deal between him and Kash Lynch was that once Kash Lynch killed Wyatt Barnes and seized Wyatt’s Storage Ring, he would hand it over to him.

In return, he would offer an additional reward.

To convince Kash Lynch, he had made a considerable sacrifice, but the thought of obtaining the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ made him feel it was all worth it.

"Hmph! Farewell."

With a cold snort, the white-robed youth ’Kash Lynch’ turned and left with an arrogant demeanor that showed he did not regard King Archer in the slightest.

King Archer watched Lynch’s back with a sullen expression.

"Fourth Prince, this Kash Lynch is too arrogant! You are the Fourth Prince of our Imperial Family, destined to inherit the throne, yet he dares to treat you like this."

Hemingway Wood, who had stood silently by the side, took the opportunity to flatter.

"Hmph! Others might fear me as the Fourth Prince of the Imperial Family, but Kash Lynch and his Lin Family are in no need of such apprehension... His Lin Family is not weaker than our Imperial Family."

King Archer snorted, momentarily putting Hemingway Wood in an awkward position.

"Hemingway, how is it that two months have passed, and yet there is no movement from the Swayer Family?"

Soon, King Archer’s cold eyes turned towards Hemingway Wood.

"Fourth Prince, over these past two months, I’ve truly tried everything... Yet, outside, the news has been spreading that the Swayer Family honorary minister ’Wyatt Barnes’ has been afraid to face Kass Lynch, the first on the Heavenly List from Anderson Manor, which means his reputation is already in tatters. But he still will not show himself, and I am helpless."

Hemingway Wood said with a bitter smile.

"Since you are helpless, you need not bother with this matter anymore."

King Archer said indifferently.

Hearing this, Hemingway Wood breathed a sigh of relief, truth be told, he had long been reluctant to take care of this errand.

That Swayer Family honorary minister, Wyatt Barnes, clearly did not dare to accept the challenge.

Had it been otherwise, he would have appeared by now.

The people in the capital city of Fletcher Kingdom soon discovered that the talk in the streets had shifted.

For the past two months, the streets had been abuzz with the matter of Kash Lynch, the top of the Heavenly List from Anderson Manor, coming to Fletcher Kingdom to challenge the Swayer Family honorary minister, ’Wyatt Barnes’, and how Wyatt Barnes had stayed behind closed doors refusing the challenge.

Of course, the news from the Swayer Family claimed that Wyatt Barnes was in seclusion.

However, most people didn’t believe this, and more believed that Wyatt Barnes was afraid of Kash Lynch and thus dared not fight.

In recent days, although the discussions still revolved around Wyatt Barnes and Kash Lynch, more people began mentioning that Kash Lynch was a guest of honor at ’King Archer’s mansion’. free𝑤ebnovel.com

King Archer’s Manor!

If these three words aren’t associated with the Swayer Family, there’s nothing to it.

But now, connected to the Swayer Family, it stirs the imagination of many.

After all, the Swayer Family is closely aligned with ’King Honorston’s Manor’, which is well-known.

Facing the challenge from a distinguished guest of King Archer’s Manor, an Honorary Minister of the Swayer Family under King Honorston’s command chose to avoid the fight... to some extent, doesn’t this imply that King Honorston’s Manor is inferior to King Archer’s Manor?

Soon, similar comments spread widely with the encouragement of interested parties.

For a time, King Honorston’s Manor couldn’t sit still and began to exert pressure on the Swayer Family.

In the Swayer Family, Micah Swayer had just sent off people from King Honorston’s Manor with a frown, and he finally went to the courtyard where his son ’Beau Swayer’ resided.

"Beau, is there still no sign of Mr. Barnes coming out of seclusion?"

Micah Swayer asked Beau Swayer.

"What’s going on, father? Are you still worried about the rumors outside? You really shouldn’t care; Mr. Barnes doesn’t concern himself with such vain reputations."

Beau Swayer said with a smile.

"The situation is different now."

Micah Swayer smiled bitterly, then informed Beau Swayer of the recent visit from King Honorston’s Manor and the rumors spreading in the Capital City over the past few days, where people claim ’King Honorston’s Manor’ is not as good as ’King Archer’s Manor’.

Although, so far, Wyatt Barnes has had no direct contact with King Honorston’s Manor.

Since he is an Honorary Minister of the Swayer Family, and the Swayer Family is a power closely aligned with King Honorston’s Manor, they are somewhat connected and externally labeled as associated with King Honorston’s Manor.

As for Kash Lynch, as a distinguished guest of King Archer’s Manor, he is also labeled as associated with King Archer’s Manor.

"What does the King Archer’s Manor want to do?"

Beau Swayer’s expression turned extremely unsightly.

"I’ve always felt something is amiss... Initially, I just thought Kash Lynch had heard of Mr. Barnes’s reputation, so he wanted to challenge Mr. Barnes. But now it seems the matter isn’t that simple, there seems to be King Archer’s Manor’s involvement, providing fuel to the fire."

Micah Swayer said piercingly.

"You’re saying... that Kash Lynch was likely brought in by King Archer’s Manor to strike against King Honorston’s Manor?"

Beau Swayer’s pupils narrowed.

"It’s very possible."

Micah Swayer nodded, "It’s just a pity Mr. Barnes hasn’t come out of seclusion yet... since Mr. Barnes went into secluded cultivation last time, seems like it has been over three months now, right?"

"Yes. Over three months."

Beau Swayer nodded.

"Now, King Honorston’s Manor can’t sit still... The people sent by King Honorston, ordered by King Honorston, gave me two choices."

Micah Swayer sighed.

"What choices?"

Beau Swayer frowned.

"King Honorston said, if Mr. Barnes is really in seclusion, then make sure to find a way to get him to come out and ask whether he has confidence against Kash Lynch... If confident, fight! If not, then retreat."

Micah Swayer said.

"How to retreat?"

Beau Swayer frowned even more.

"Have Mr. Barnes publicly announce his separation from our Swayer Family, henceforth having no association with us."

Micah Swayer sighed.

"How can this be!"

Beau Swayer’s face changed dramatically, "Mr. Barnes is my lifesaver, how can we let him do this! Father, I don’t agree."

"No! There’s also a second choice... Father, what is the second option King Honorston gave you?"

Upon saying this, Beau Swayer seemed to have caught a life-saving straw.

"The second option is based on Mr. Barnes not being in seclusion... this option is simply to retreat!"

Micah Swayer sighed deeply.

"So what did the Family Head Swayer choose?"

At that moment, accompanied by the sound of a door opening, a purple figure emerged from one of the rooms in the courtyard, basking in the sunlight.

The purple figure turned out to be a young man in purple clothes, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary.

"Mr. Barnes!"

Seeing the young man in purple, Beau Swayer’s eyes lit up as he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Barnes."

Micah Swayer smiled bitterly, knowing that Mr. Barnes had heard everything he had just said, feeling somewhat awkward.

The young man in purple who stepped out the door was none other than Wyatt Barnes, who had been in seclusion for a full three months.
