True, Max Wood said that Wyatt Barnes didn't need to do anything for the Magnolia Commerce Guild.
But as the saying goes.
Take other people's money, owe other people favours...
Once he accepted money from the Magnolia Commerce Guild, becoming the 'Honorary Elder' of the Guild, given his character, he would never stand idly by should the Guild encounter any trouble.
Therefore, Wyatt Barnes chose to reject.
He knew clearly within his heart.
Once he agreed to Max Wood, he would undoubtedly bear a responsibility.
He didn't want to shoulder this responsibility for money sake.
Not to mention he currently wasn't short of money.
Even if he was, he had many ways to earn it.
"It seems we at the Magnolia Commerce Guild are not so fortunate."
Realising Wyatt's firm decision, Max Wood sighed and had a thought.
He was able to stay calm in the face of a billion taels of gold and blatantly reject his invitation.
This Brother Wyatt Barnes was truly no ordinary person!
