Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628 So Coincidental
Life and Death Battle ans fighting to the bitter end!
"Oh my gosh! What kind of grudge exists between the top person on the ’Heavenly List’ from the Anderson Manor in Ridge South, ’Kash Lynch’, and Mr. Barnes that they’re having a life and death battle?"
"The last ti he challenged Mr. Barnes, he didn’t ntion it was going to be a life and death battle... Announcing it now, if Mr. Barnes isn’t confident, he might likely back out."
"It’s so ruthless! To engage in a life and death battle."
...
When the people throughout the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom snapped back to reality, they were abuzz with discussions.
Many began to worry whether Wyatt Barnes would still participate, upon learning that tomorrow’s battle was a ’Life and Death Battle’.
A Life and Death Battle — deciding life and death!
It’s not sothing to joke about.
A person’s life, you only live once, and once it ends, it ans death and the end of one’s path.
If there wasn’t so deep grudge or hatred, generally, one wouldn’t engage in a battle to the death.
Soon, public opinion in the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom began to shift again.
"Life and Death Battle... After Mr. Barnes finds out that this battle is a life and death one, I don’t know if he’ll still participate in tomorrow’s fight against Kash Lynch."
"If I were Mr. Barnes, I definitely wouldn’t participate. Since the other side dares to issue a life and death battle, it’s obvious that they’re full of confidence and co with ill intentions. Agreeing to it would be like jumping into a pit dug in advance by the opponent."
"Although Mr. Barnes is quite strong, compared to Kash Lynch, he might still fall short... After all, Kash Lynch is the strongest on the ’Heavenly List’, reputedly the number one person below the Saint Realm within Anderson Manor in Ridge South! In Ridge South’s Anderson Manor, no one under the Saint Realm might be his match."
...
More and more people believed that Wyatt Barnes, upon learning the battle was one of life and death set by his opponent, would back down or even flee the battlefield.
"Life and Death Battle?"
The first person in the Swayer Family to receive this news was Micah Swayer.
"Why on earth does Kash Lynch harbor such animosity towards Mr. Barnes that he would challenge him to a life and death battle... it’s clearly a plot to kill Mr. Barnes!"
Micah Swayer’s face turned sowhat sour.
Originally, Wyatt Barnes voluntarily leaving the Swayer Family had filled him with guilt.
Now, hearing that Kash Lynch wants a life and death battle with Wyatt Barnes, his initial reaction was to worry about Wyatt Barnes’ safety.
After all, a ’Life and Death Battle’ is no joking matter!
With his eyes flashing, Micah Swayer went to the courtyard where his son Beau Swayer resided.
Though Wyatt Barnes had announced his departure from the Swayer Family, no longer an Honorary Minister, he had not yet planned to leave the Swayer Family estate before leaving Fletcher Kingdom.
"Mr. Barnes, do you know that ’Kash Lynch’ from the Anderson Manor in Ridge South?"
Micah Swayer ca to find Wyatt Barnes and asked straightforwardly upon seeing him.
"No, I don’t know him."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "I only heard of his reputation after arriving at Fletcher Kingdom. I know he’s the number one on the ’Heavenly List’, a direct descendant of the Lynch family in Anderson Manor, and recognized by most as the number one person below the Saint Realm in Anderson Manor."
"Family Head Swayer, why do you ask this?"
Wyatt Barnes looked puzzled.
"This... doesn’t make sense."
Hearing Wyatt Barnes and seeing the puzzlent on his face, Micah Swayer felt even more confused.
"Father, what’s going on?"
Beau Swayer asked.
"News from King Archer’s mansion states that tomorrow Kash Lynch will fight Mr. Barnes... and it’s a ’Life and Death Battle’!"
Micah Swayer looked at Wyatt Barnes and said.
Life and Death Battle!
Beau Swayer’s face changed dramatically, "That Kash Lynch wants to take Mr. Barnes’ life?!"
Life and Death Battle, fighting to the bitter end!
Without deciding life and death, it won’t end.
"Life and Death Battle?"
Hearing Micah Swayer’s words, Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes, a cold, sharp gleam flashing by.
This news was equally unexpected for him.
"Since Mr. Barnes doesn’t know Kash Lynch, there’s only one possibility... soone from King Archer’s mansion wants your life, Mr. Barnes! It might even be King Archer himself!"
As head of the Swayer Family, Micah Swayer quickly connected the dots after a bit of thought.
"But why would King Archer want you dead, Mr. Barnes?"
To this, Micah Swayer was utterly baffled.
Beau Swayer also looked equally perplexed.
Only Wyatt Barnes remained calm, as if he wasn’t the least bit puzzled by this matter.
He didn’t have to guess King Archer’s motives, it surely revolved around the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ in his possession, "Going all the way to Ridge South’s Anderson Manor to engage the number one on the ’Heavenly List’ to deal with , just for the Demon Sealing Monunt... that King Archer is truly persistent!"
"I know."
Just then, a familiar voice ca from outside, and into the courtyard stepped ’Jordan Swayer’, the venerable elder of the Swayer Family.
"Grandpa Jordan, do you know why King Archer wants Mr. Barnes dead?"
Beau Swayer’s eyes lit up.
In an instant, both Micah Swayer and Wyatt Barnes looked towards Jordan Swayer.
Micah Swayer showed a look of curiosity.
Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brows, secretly alard, "Could it be that the news about the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ in my possession has already spread? Even the grand elder of the Swayer Family knows?"
However, with Jordan Swayer’s explanations, he soon realized he was overthinking.
Yet, it was sothing he hadn’t expected, such a coincidence in the world.
According to Jordan Swayer, the reason King Archer wanted him dead was to repay a life-saving debt owed to a servant from years ago.
That servant left King Archer’s household years earlier and established a notorious gang near the southern border of Fletcher Kingdom, living quite freely as its head.
However, about half a year ago, his third brother was killed by a mysterious expert.
He brought this mysterious expert’s portrait with him, traveling far to the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, just for a promise King Archer gave him back in the day, willing to perform a service within his power.
His request was for King Archer to kill the mysterious expert in the portrait.
The mysterious expert was Wyatt Barnes.
"It’s him."
As Jordan Swayer spoke, Wyatt Barnes recalled the events from when he first arrived at Fletcher Kingdom.
During that ti, a lieutenant from a bandit group attempted to rob him after extorting a village, and was instead killed by him.
Back then, he hadn’t destroyed the body.
He figured a bandit group, akin to an eight-tier power, even if they all ca out, posed no threat to him.
"Who would have thought, the leader of a bandit group akin to an eight-tier power could have ties to the Fourth Prince ’King Archer’ of the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family."
For a mont, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but sigh, "It seems, next ti, I really can’t underestimate anyone."
"So that’s how it is."
Both Micah Swayer and Beau Swayer ca to a realization after hearing Jordan Swayer’s words.
