Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1064: Resounding Slap

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1064: Resounding Slap

Wyatt Barnes calmly watched the young man who suddenly appeared, "The ’Third Young Master’ of the Gagnon Family from Northumberland?"

The sudden appearance of the Gagnon Family’s Third Young Master, as well as his current stance, undoubtedly revealed one thing.

He was on Dion Gagnon’s side.

However, even so, Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained unchanged, as though his demeanor would remain unaltered even if Mount Tai were collapsing in front of him.

"Younger brother, you really command quite the presence!"

Just as Zen Gagnon heard the words of the Gagnon Family’s Third Young Master and was momentarily at a loss, a loud voice came, attracting the attention of everyone present.

In the distance, a young man flew over swiftly, arriving beside Zen Gagnon in an instant.

"Second Young Master!"

As soon as the young man appeared, Zen Gagnon and five other Gagnon Family scions hurriedly paid their respects.

Seeing the young man, Dion Gagnon slightly furrowed his brows, but eventually gave a slight bow as well.

"It’s the Gagnon Family’s Second Young Master, ’Jadiel Gagnon’!"

"I really didn’t expect that this ’Alchemist Contest’ wouldn’t only bring out the Gagnon Family’s Third Young Master but also the Second Young Master."

"The Gagnon Family’s Second Young Master is said to be one of the two leading heirs to the next generation head of the family."

"The only one who could possibly contend with the Gagnon Family’s Eldest Young Master for the position of the family head in the next generation must be the Eldest Young Master ’Kartier Gagnon’ himself."

"That’s right! As for this Gagnon Family’s Third Young Master ’Damari Gagnon,’ although not bad, he still falls short compared to the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master... However, I heard he is the Eldest Young Master’s biological brother."

...

Many people whispered among themselves.

These individuals all had a certain understanding of the Gagnon Family from Northumberland.

"So that’s how it is."

With his exceptional hearing, Wyatt Barnes naturally took in all these whispered conversations and seemed to understand something all at once.

"Second Brother, you aren’t thinking of protecting them, are you? They are despicable and unworthy of entering our Gagnon Family!"

Seeing Jadiel Gagnon appear, Damari Gagnon’s eyes flashed coldly, and he spoke in a deep voice.

However, Jadiel Gagnon ignored him, as if he hadn’t heard a word, and looked towards the young man in purple standing not far away.

"We meet again."

Jadiel Gagnon said with a slight smile.

"Yes, we meet again."

The young man in purple being stared at by Jadiel Gagnon was none other than ’Wyatt Barnes.’ Faced with Jadiel Gagnon’s initiative to greet him, Wyatt Barnes also responded with a smile.

When Jadiel Gagnon had just appeared, Wyatt Barnes recognized him.

It was the ’brother’ from the pair of siblings he had met on the road when he, Winnie Romero, and Taoi Romero left the Great Mini Dynasty to go to the ancient desert city.

He remembered.

Back then, it was Taoi Romero who, by chance, saved the lives of that pair of siblings.

At that time, Wyatt Barnes had heard the siblings say that they were from the ’Gagnon Family of Northumberland,’ but back then, he didn’t have any concept of what those four words meant.

It wasn’t until he arrived in this ’Land of Northumberland’ that he understood the significance behind the words ’Gagnon Family of Northumberland.’

A family with a legacy of ten thousand years!

An alchemist family!

In their history up to now, they have had over a dozen ’Grade One alchemists’!

"Jadiel Gagnon."

Jadiel Gagnon looked towards Wyatt Barnes and suddenly spoke, clearly introducing himself.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile.

At the same time, his gaze swept over Jadiel Gagnon and Zen Gagnon standing together, and his mind stirred with a guess at what might be going on.

"Just now, this Elder Zen Gagnon didn’t seem inclined to intervene... but in the blink of an eye, he appeared to be intentionally protecting me."

"I was wondering why he would help me... Now it seems that it was undoubtedly Jadiel Gagnon who signaled him. Jadiel Gagnon must have been hiding in the shadows from the start and recognized me."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

This moment, the fog that had recently shrouded Wyatt Barnes completely dissipated.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes greeting Jadiel Gagnon like an old friend, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers changed more or less.

"He actually knows the Gagnon Family’s Second Young Master?"

The middle-aged man in green, along with his two companions, changed their expression, revealing a hint of wariness in their eyes.

They never imagined that the young man in purple, whom they despised to their bones, actually knew the distinguished Second Young Master ’Jadiel Gagnon’ from the Gagnon Family of Northumberland.

Moreover, the relationship between them seemed to be rather significant.

"No wonder just now Zen Gagnon was willing to offend me to meddle in this affair... It turns out he is the friend of the Second Young Master! It seems that earlier it was also the Second Young Master from the shadows who signaled Zen Gagnon to help him."

Dion Gagnon’s face darkened as he secretly guessed at some of the happenings.

At the same time, his eyes flickered with a cold gleam, and his forbidding gaze never left the purple figure in the distance.

Noticing a sinister gaze sweeping over him, Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and gave Dion Gagnon a cursory glance but didn’t bother with him.

A Grade Three alchemist?

At Level Eight of the Transforming Void Realm?

To be honest, whether in ’alchemy’ or ’Martial Dao cultivation,’ Wyatt Barnes didn’t take this Dion Gagnon seriously.

"Wyatt Barnes... actually knows the Gagnon Family’s Second Young Master?"

Finley Yellow stood to the side, looking at Wyatt Barnes, who was smiling and making eye contact with the Gagnon Family’s Second Young Master ’Jadiel Gagnon,’ and while his heart filled with regret, it felt as though it was bleeding.

He knew.

He had missed an opportunity to connect with the Gagnon Family’s Second Young Master.

If he hadn’t avoided Wyatt Barnes like avoiding the plague earlier, if he hadn’t said he didn’t know Wyatt Barnes, he would certainly now be considered a friend by Wyatt Barnes.

If he were a friend of Wyatt Barnes, it would have been as easy as flipping his hand to establish a relationship with the Second Young Master of the Gagnon Family through Wyatt Barnes.

However, he had destroyed all of that with his own hands.

"I wondered why Second Brother you were protecting them... so it turns out to be someone that Second Brother you know,"

Kartier Gagnon took a deep look at Jadiel Gagnon, his voice tinged with surprise.

"Second Brother you really have a wide circle of friends, knowing all sorts of people from all walks of life."

His tone was laced with sarcasm, and after a pause, he continued, "However, no matter if they are friends of Second Brother you, according to the rules of our Gagnon Family, someone of despicable character is not allowed into the Gagnon Family!"

Still, Jadiel Gagnon did not bother with him, just as he had not before.

This made Kartier Gagnon’s face grow uglier.

"How did you come to our Gagnon Family?"

Jadiel Gagnon looked at Wyatt Barnes, asking with some surprise.

"I thought I’d mix in with your Gagnon Family, maybe work as a ’Sacrificial Officer’ or ’Honorary Minister’."

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile, telling the truth.

Sacrificial Officer? Honorary Minister?

As soon as Wyatt Barnes’s words fell, the room fell into dead silence.

Even Jadiel Gagnon was taken aback,

becoming a Sacrificial Officer or an Honorary Minister for their Gagnon Family was not so easy.

If one were a martial artist, at the very least a ’Martial Emperor Realm’ strength was required, only Martial Emperor-level experts were qualified to become a Sacrificial Officer or an Honorary Minister for their Gagnon Family.

If one were an alchemist, one must also be at least a ’Grade Two alchemist’ to be eligible.

Martial Emperor-level experts?

Grade Two or higher alchemists?

Jadiel Gagnon sized up Wyatt Barnes, shaking his head to himself, thinking that Wyatt Barnes had just been joking.

"Hahaha... "

After the silence, many people came back to their senses and burst into huge laughter.

For a while, the majority of people present looked at Wyatt Barnes as if looking at an ’idiot’.

"Him, if not relying on the relationship with the Second Young Master of the Gagnon Family, I’m afraid it’s questionable whether he could even advance smoothly in the ’Alchemist Competition’, let alone becoming an external family member of the Gagnon Family."

"Exactly! He should take a reality check in the mirror, see what he is made of... and he wants to become a Sacrificial Officer or a Protector of the Gagnon Family? Does he even qualify?"

"I think he’s just boasting too much... But, having the guts to boast in front of so many people, I think he’s just asking to be insulted!"

"Probably just daydreaming."

...

Many people spoke sarcastically about Wyatt Barnes, all without exception thinking he was just blowing hot air or daydreaming.

To become a Sacrificial Officer or Protector of the Northumberland Gagnon Family?

Without the strength of the ’Martial Emperor Realm’ or being a ’Grade Two’ or higher alchemist, don’t even think about it!

"This Wyatt Barnes, he really has lost his mind!"

The middle-aged man in green and his two companions looked at Wyatt Barnes again, their faces filled with mockery, thinking that Wyatt Barnes was completely delusional.

"He’s a fool."

Dion Gagnon scoffed.

"Haha... Second Brother, is your friend’s mind okay?"

Damari Gagnon couldn’t help laughing uproariously, his eyes full of disdain as he looked at Wyatt Barnes.

Slap!

Almost at the moment Damari Gagnon’s words fell, a loud and crisp slap suddenly sounded.

Immediately after, everyone saw.

On one side of Damari Gagnon’s face, the Third Young Master of the Gagnon Family, a stark red palm print appeared, and within moments, that side of his face was completely swollen, resembling half a pig’s head.

Simultaneously, everyone noticed that in front of Damari Gagnon, there appeared a figure, a figure clad in purple.

Looking at the figure in purple, most people including Jadiel Gagnon were involuntarily taken aback.

"You... you dare to hit me?"

Damari Gagnon, covering his swollen cheek, stared fiercely with blood-red murderous intent, fixated on the young man in purple standing before him, wishing nothing more than to kill him on the spot.

However, although he was furious to the extreme, wishing to dismember the person before him, he still did not act rashly.

Since the other party was able to slap him without any reaction on his part, it showed that the other’s strength far surpassed his own.

"Third Young Master, you keep saying that I have despicable character... yet aren’t you, with your words, casually insulting others, also considered despicable in character?"

After slapping Damari Gagnon, the person standing before him was none other than Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes faced Damari Gagnon with calm eyes, a faint smile emerging at the corners of his mouth.

This smile, in Damari Gagnon’s eyes, was like the grin of a demon.

"Dion Gagnon, kill him!"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the murderous intent in Damari Gagnon’s eyes intensified as he suddenly shouted with a sharp command.

Whoosh!

Almost as Damari Gagnon’s voice sounded, the already poised Dion Gagnon leaped out, shooting toward Wyatt Barnes’s position like a bolt of lightning.

"Die!"

Dion Gagnon’s gloomy face displayed bone-chilling coldness, his eyes filled with extreme severity, and as he raised his hand, a spirit knife appeared out of thin air, slashing down directly above Wyatt Barnes’s head.

Hum!

A piercing sound of the knife’s whir echoed in response.
