Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2068: Leilani Brightfall’s Boldness

Huff! Huff! Huff!

...

In the eyes of the crowd inside the tavern, the hand Wyatt Barnes was using to hold Bless Easton’s fist suddenly had a clearly visible ’swirl’ appear around it.

The swirling vortex twisted in the void, causing the air to ripple, akin to a stone crashing onto the calm surface of water, creating circles of waves.

"Ah—"

In the moment the vortex appeared, everyone heard a heart-wrenching scream, akin to a pig being slaughtered, which came from Bless Easton.

Currently, Bless Easton’s face was extremely contorted, his features completely twisted together, and his entire body was trembling violently, as if he were enduring extreme pain.

This pain seemed to make Bless Easton’s eyes about to burst!

"What is... happening?"

"This young man in purple seems to have some skills... otherwise, how can he make the Garcia Clan’s Second Young Master suffer such pain without any visible actions?"

"Looking at the Garcia Clan’s Second Young Master’s expression and hearing his screams... it seems he’s enduring inhuman pain and torment! I really don’t know how this young man in purple did it!"

"It seems there’s a very strong Divine Sense fluctuation between them... could it be that he is using soul attack techniques to torment the Garcia Clan’s Second Young Master?"

"Possibly!"

...

While Wyatt Barnes was wantonly devouring Bless Easton’s ’talent root,’ the crowd inside the tavern was also becoming restless.

Many were shocked by Wyatt Barnes’ supernatural methods, while others perceived a strong Divine Sense fluctuation, vaguely guessing that Wyatt was using soul attack techniques to torment Bless Easton.

Yet, they would never dream:

Wyatt Barnes knows how to swallow others’ talent roots to strengthen his own ability.

They never expected:

That Wyatt was currently using this method to devour Bless Easton’s talent root!

The white-clad woman standing beside Wyatt Barnes, Lei Brightfall, the Brightfall Family’s eldest daughter in Airebright City, was initially surprised by Wyatt Barnes’ powerful strength.

Now, seeing Bless Easton in such agony under Wyatt’s hand, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her beautiful autumn eyes.

"Ah—"

Bless Easton continued to scream miserably.

The screams, akin to a pig being slaughtered, entered the ears of the tavern’s patrons, making them shiver, as if sharing his plight.

Currently, apart from Bless Easton himself, perhaps no one could understand his pain.

His pain was not from his body but his ’soul’!

At this moment, Bless Easton felt as if his soul were on fire, and a terrifying force was pulling out parts of his soul like drawing silk, leaving him as if enduring Soul Refining pain!

Fortunately:

That terrifying force came fast and went fast!

In a moment, his soul returned to normal.

He let out a long breath of relief, but his clothes were soaked in sweat, while he was still breathing heavily, feeling like he had just circled the Hell Gate.

Bang!!

While Bless Easton was gasping for air, a loud crash echoed as Wyatt Barnes released Bless Easton’s fist and sent him flying with a palm strike.

Without preparation, Bless Easton flew out like an arrow, smashing through the window, and landing on the street outside.

For a moment, the pedestrians on the street became lively.

Many people recognized Bless Easton, "Isn’t this the Garcia Clan’s Second Young Master? Why is he so disheveled?"

"I think he ’flew’ out of the tavern... judging by his appearance, he seems to have suffered a great loss."

"In Airebright City, only a direct descendant from the Fenning Family would dare treat the Garcia Clan’s Second Young Master like this... I wonder which young talented member of the Fenning Family acted!"

...

The crowd of pedestrians gossiped around the disheveled Bless Easton, all amazed at his ’encounter’.

The scene of the Garcia Clan’s Second Young Master being tormented by someone is not commonly seen.

"Wow!!"

After spewing out a mouthful of clotted blood, Bless Easton, facing the surrounding pedestrians’ pointing and talking, looked back at the tavern with a vengeful glare and then left in disgrace.

"No matter who you are, I, Bless Easton, will not let you off today! You are doomed!!"

On his way back to the Garcia Clan mansion, Bless Easton was secretly furious, preparing to return to the clan and complain to his father to have the family experts avenge him.

He wanted to kill that young man in purple and wash away the humiliation he just endured!

Meanwhile, inside the tavern, Wyatt Barnes, who had just sent Bless Easton flying, casually sat down in front of the watching crowd.

"Miss Brightfall, please sit."

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes invited Leilani Brightfall beside him to sit down.

Upon hearing this, Leilani Brightfall snapped back to reality and sat down accordingly.

When she looked again at Wyatt Barnes, there was no trace of ’joy’ at Bless Easton being chased away, but rather a hint of ’worry’ in her eyes.

"You should leave ’Airebright City’ quickly... That Bless Easton will definitely return to the Easton Family to get more people. Once the Easton Family’s experts arrive, you won’t be able to leave!"

Leilani Brightfall spoke directly, urging Wyatt Barnes to leave.

She had a good impression of this young man who was different from ordinary men and didn’t want to see him suffer at the hands of the Easton Family’s experts, so she urged him to leave as soon as possible.

Upon hearing Leilani Brightfall’s words, all the drinkers in the tavern nodded silently.

They also felt that the young man in purple should leave, and now was the best time to do so. If he delayed any longer, the Easton Family’s experts would definitely arrive!

"Miss Brightfall, I appreciate your kindness."

However, in face of Leilani Brightfall’s ’reminder’, Wyatt Barnes shook his head immediately, "I have something to take care of in ’Airebright City’ and won’t be leaving for now."

Indeed.

He came to Airebright City to inquire about places in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land where there are many ’evil people’, right?

He hasn’t gathered the information yet, so naturally, he wouldn’t leave.

The Easton Family?

A mere ’third-rate power’ in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, he, Wyatt Barnes, didn’t even take them seriously!

"Waiter! Another set of tableware!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, Wyatt Barnes called to the tavern waiter to add another set of tableware.

As he already had his own tableware, this additional set was undoubtedly for Leilani Brightfall!

"Is he not afraid of death?"

This was the thought in the hearts of all the drinkers in the tavern, as well as the tavern waiter’s.

"Waiter, no need to add."

Just as the tavern waiter hesitated about fetching more tableware, Leilani Brightfall spoke again to stop him.

At the same time, she placed some Holy Stones on the table to cover Wyatt Barnes’ meal expenses.

"Come with me!"

After setting down the Holy Stones, Leilani Brightfall, with a look of urgency, swiftly grabbed Wyatt Barnes’ hand and pulled him toward the tavern exit, moving in a hurry.

At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten about the ’propriety between men and women’!

And Wyatt Barnes was so taken aback by Leilani Brightfall’s ’actions’ that he forgot to refuse as she forcibly led him out of the tavern.

This time, even he was completely shocked by Leilani Brightfall’s ’behavior’.

Who knew this lady of nobility had such a ’bold’ side?

As Leilani Brightfall pulled Wyatt Barnes’ hand and left the tavern in a blaze of action, they naturally attracted the attention of many passersby on the street.

"Eh? Isn’t that the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family?"

"The eldest lady of the Brightfall Family? The number one beauty of Airebright City? It really is her!"

"My god! What did I just see? The eldest lady of the Brightfall Family is... actually holding a man’s hand?"

"Isn’t she about to be engaged to the Easton Family’s Second Young Master ’Bless Easton’? What’s going on?"

"Just now, it seemed Bless Easton was thrown out of the tavern... And now the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family is holding a man’s hand. Could it be that the person who threw Bless Easton out wasn’t from the Fenning Family, but actually the man that the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family is holding?"

...

As passersby watched Leilani Brightfall walking away holding Wyatt Barnes’ hand, they couldn’t help but gossip.

Many men even beat their chests in frustration, feeling as though their hearts had broken!

The eldest lady of the Brightfall Family, ’Leilani Brightfall’, was acknowledged as Airebright City’s number one beauty, and now she was, of her own accord, holding a man’s hand, obviously indicating an unusual relationship with him.

"No wonder the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family never wanted to marry the Easton Family’s Second Young Master ’Bless Easton’... As it turns out, she already has someone else in her heart!"

Many passersby made this deduction in their minds.

However, as some drinkers came out from the tavern, the passersby outside learned the entire story.

"That young man in purple didn’t know the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family beforehand?"

"Are you sure there’s no mistake?"

"So, it was love at first sight between the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family and that young man in purple? She’d rather sit beside a stranger than next to the Easton Family’s Second Young Master ’Bless Easton’... Bless Easton truly is pathetic, being completely outdone by a stranger!"

"If that’s truly the case, then Bless Easton is certainly pitiful. But why do I feel that it’s unlikely the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family met that young man in purple for the first time today?"

"I also feel they didn’t meet for the first time today... Maybe they pretended not to know each other in front of Bless Easton. Otherwise, why would the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family take the initiative to hold his hand?"

...

Not only the crowd of passersby didn’t quite believe the eldest lady of the Brightfall Family ’Leilani Brightfall’ would take the initiative to hold a man’s hand.

Even Leilani Brightfall herself never imagined she would one day take the initiative to hold a man’s hand.

As she held Wyatt Barnes’ hand and led him away from the tavern, deep into an isolated, deserted alleyway, Leilani Brightfall’s taut nerves finally relaxed.

Once her tightly wound nerves relaxed, she finally came to her senses and hastily let go of Wyatt Barnes’ hand.
