Chapter 459: Chapter 459 I Will Not Attend
Back in the day, Wyatt Barnes’s reputation in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom was indeed soaring.
Perhaps only a few people in the powerful Royal Kingdoms had heard of Wyatt Barnes, but stories about him were still being circulated in countries surrounding the Crimson Heaven Kingdom.
Wyatt Barnes, in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, was undoubtedly a legend.
To Kanan Nigel, given Wyatt Barnes’s current state of cultivation, the young and talented Original Infant Realm First Level brought by the royal envoy from Ableton Sun Kingdom was nothing.
Perhaps, Wyatt Barnes just needs a single finger to knock him down.
"No... Brother Nigel, I will not participate in the ’Wrestling Friendship’ between the Crimson Heaven Kingdom and the talented youth of Ableton Sun Kingdom."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, he had no interest in the ’Wrestling Friendship’ between the young talents of the two countries.
In his view, with his current state of cultivation, participating in the ’Wrestling Friendship’ was simply a form of bullying.
"Not participating?"
Kanan Nigel was taken aback and bitterly laughed, "Wyatt, if you don’t participate, we of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom will surely lose... Once we lose, our kingdom will have to pay three years of taxes!"
Three years of taxes for the Crimson Heaven Kingdom was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Anyone would feel the sting.
"Wyatt... I know you have entered the Sect of Green Forest Imperial Kingdom, so you stand at a higher height now and don’t care about the people brought by the special envoy of Ableton Sun Kingdom. However, this ’Wrestling Friendship’ not only affects the face of Crimson Heaven Kingdom but also relates to the three-year tax of our kingdom..."
Atharv Nigel looked at Wyatt Barnes and sighed, "This time, Uncle Nigel also hopes that you can make a move to help our Crimson Heaven Kingdom. If we lose three years of taxes to Ableton Sun Kingdom, they may use these taxes to strengthen their army and subsequently attack our country... At that time, it will inevitably plunge the people into misery and suffering."
"I think, you wouldn’t want to see the people of Crimson Heaven Kingdom plunged into war and displaced, would you?"
By the end, Atharv Nigel’s face was extremely solemn.
"Uncle Nigel."
After hearing Atharv Nigel’s long speech, Wyatt Barnes felt exhausted, "I think you misunderstood... I only said that I wouldn’t participate in the ’Wrestling Friendship’, but I didn’t say that I wouldn’t help the Crimson Heaven Kingdom win this bet."
By the end, Wyatt Barnes could only helplessly shake his head.
"Wyatt, what does that mean? If you don’t participate in the ’Wrestling Friendship’, how can we win this bet?"
Atharv Nigel and Kanan Nigel both looked confused.
"You’ll know by then... By the way, Uncle Nigel, Brother Nigel, when will the ’Wrestling Friendship’ take place?"
With a mysterious smile, Wyatt Barnes immediately asked Atharv Nigel and Kanan Nigel.
"Coincidentally, it’s tomorrow."
Atharv Nigel said, "At that time, the ’Wrestling Friendship’ will take place within the palace... The emperor and the special envoy of Ableton Sun will be present. Not only that, young talents of the Imperial family and the three major clans will all be present."
"Tomorrow? Such a coincidence... Well, I will come to Lord Crawford’s Mansion early tomorrow morning and proceed to the palace with you."
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"Uncle Nigel, is Grandfather Nigel here?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Atharv Nigel and asked. Now that he had come to Lord Crawford’s Mansion, he thought he should take the opportunity to see Lord Crawford as a courtesy.
"My father has been traveling recently."
Atharv Nigel shook his head, pleased that Wyatt Barnes had thought of his father.
"Wyatt, how exactly will you help us win the bet with Ableton Sun Kingdom?"
With a pair of curious eyes, Kanan Nigel couldn’t wait to ask.
"Brother Nigel, you’ll know by tomorrow..."
Wyatt Barnes shrugged, deliberately keeping them in suspense.
Although Kanan Nigel was itching to know more, he had no way out since Wyatt Barnes refused to spill the beans. He could only wait for the arrival of the ’Wrestling Friendship’ the next day.
"Wyatt, I heard that the training environment in the Sect of the Green Forest Imperial Kingdom is excellent... Is that true?"
"Wyatt, have you ever seen a ’Enter Void Realm’ practitioner in the Green Forest Imperial Kingdom during these years?"
"Wyatt, you..."
Then, Kanan Nigel kept asking Wyatt Barnes about the Green Forest Imperial Kingdom, seemingly not knowing fatigue and annoyance.
Eventually, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t take it anymore and quickly left.
His departure was almost like a fleeing.
After seeing Wyatt Barnes off, once Wyatt Barnes’s figure disappeared from view, Kanan Nigel murmured with a sense of unfinished business, "I haven’t finished asking..."
"Okay, you still want to ask now? Wyatt was scared away by you."
Atharv Nigel glared at Kanan Nigel with annoyance.
Kanan Nigel sheepishly smiled, turned his pupils, and mumbled, "Just now, when I was asking Wyatt questions... Dad, you seemed to be very interested too? Now, why are you blaming me..."
"What did you say?"
Atharv Nigel, who had a keen hearing, faintly heard Kanan Nigel’s whisper and glared at him, raising his voice.
"No... no... nothing! Nothing!"
Seeing this, Kanan Nigel immediately became subdued.
Outside, he was the Young Marquis of Lord Crawford’s Mansion, a ’general’ who dominated the three armies, and admired by thousands of soldiers.
But at home, in front of his father, Lord Crawford, he would always be just a kid.
After leaving the Lord Crawford’s Mansion, Wyatt Barnes didn’t go anywhere else and directly returned to his mansion.
Upon returning to the mansion and just entering the backyard, Wyatt Barnes heard a series of pleasant laughs.
"Helen Sinclair?"
Wyatt Barnes recognized the owner of the voice and raised an eyebrow.
In the backyard pavilion, the woman sitting opposite Christina Lee had long, supple hair, flowing like a cascading waterfall, dancing in the wind.
Her stunning cheeks appeared as if they had been meticulously sculpted.
Helen Sinclair sat there with an elegant demeanor as if she were a fairy descended from the heavens...
As soon as Wyatt Barnes entered the backyard, Helen noticed it and looked over. A joyful smile crossed her beautiful face, and she stood up somewhat awkwardly, "You... you’re back?"
Helen glanced at Wyatt Barnes and then shyly lowered her head, like a child caught eating sweets without permission.
"Helen, long time no see."
Wyatt Barnes gave Helen a slight smile. He could tell that his mother had not previously told Helen about his return.
"Yes, it’s been a long time. I’m glad you’re back... Aunt Natalie missed you very much in these past years..."
Helen nodded gently and didn’t sit down again until Wyatt came over and took a seat.
Her blurry, autumn-water-like eyes occasionally sneaked a glance at the man before her...
After not seeing him for several years, the man had grown more mature and appealing.
Unconsciously, a blush spread on Helen’s pretty face, making her look even more charming and pitifully adorable.
"Wyatt, have you seen Uncle Nigel yet?"
Having seen the subtle changes in Helen’s demeanor after Wyatt’s appearance, Christina Lee inwardly sighed and then redirected the topic to Wyatt.
"Hmm."
Wyatt Barnes smiled and nodded. "Yes, I have. Despite not seeing each other for several years, Uncle Nigel is still as vigorous as ever."
"When do you plan to visit the Barnes Family and the Imperial Palace?"
Christina Lee asked again.
"As for the Barnes family, I can visit them in a couple of days... I need to rest today. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Crawford Mansion first, and then enter the palace with Uncle Nigel and Brother Nigel. By the way, I’ll also meet His Majesty."
Wyatt Barnes responded slowly.
"Is it about the ’Meet by Martial Arts’ event with the young talents of the Ableton Sun Kingdom?"
Apparently, Christina Lee was also aware of the matter.
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
After a while, Christina Lee glanced at Wyatt Barnes, then at Helen sitting beside him. She then stood up and said, "You two haven’t seen each other in a long time, so have a good talk... I’m going back to my room for cultivation."
After saying this, Christina sighed and left the backyard.
For a moment, it was only Wyatt Barnes and Helen Sinclair left, sitting opposite of each other in the backyard pavilion.
Wyatt Barnes felt slightly awkward, unsure of what to say.
In the end, Helen was the first to break the silence, "Did Keer and Jovie Lee come back with you?"
Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "No. They went on a long journey with the elders of the Sect. They will probably be back after some time."
"Hmm."
Helen nodded.
"How have you been these past years?"
Helen noticed that Wyatt Barnes didn’t react for a while after answering her question. So, she muttered, ’blockhead’, and initiated the conversation.
"It’s been alright."
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
He never considered himself clumsy, but facing Helen now made his feelings exceedingly complex...
To say that he didn’t hold feelings for Helen would be impossible.
Since ancient times, heroes have been drawn to beauties. Even though he didn’t consider himself a hero, he admitted that he found it hard to resist a beauty like Helen.
Even when they were both in Aurora City, during the Sinclair Clan’s hosting of the Hidden Dragon List’s genius convention, he was mesmerized when he first saw ’Helen’. He had a keen interest in this woman who seemed like a fairy descended from heaven.
After all, every person had an appreciation for beauty.
If Keer and Jovie Lee were not in his life, he might have pursued Helen. As for feelings, they could develop slowly...
Like with Jovie Lee before.
However, now that Keer and Jovie Lee were in his life, Wyatt had inherited a significant responsibility.
He had to consider the feelings of the two girls.
Of course, while this was the case, it didn’t mean that Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t consider taking a third wife in the future. He just won’t be as frivolous as he was before.
If he and Helen were truly fated to be together, he wouldn’t let the opportunity slip away.
But for now, it seemed that their destinies didn’t align.
Afterward, Helen asked Wyatt a lot about the Green Forest Royal Country. Clearly, she was full of longing for it.
"I really envy Keer and Jovie, who can be by your side at all times, accompanying you on your adventures."
Helen expressed with a clear look of envy.
Always by my side?
Guilty, Wyatt couldn’t help but sweat at Helen’s words.
In the past few years, the time he had actually spent with Keer and Jovie cumulated might come up to a mere month.
The rest of the time, he was all alone.
