Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2074: Brightfall Family Patriarch

"Spare your lives?"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Jaxton Brightfall and a group of Brightfall Family elders were first taken aback, then couldn’t help but sneer in unison.

They only felt that this young man in purple was just too naive!

Leilani Brightfall was still alright.

Although Leilani had also offended the Easton Family, as the ’eldest miss’ of the Brightfall Family, along with the protection of their family head, even if they wanted to hand Leilani over to the Easton Family, they could only talk about it; it was impossible to achieve.

But what about this young man in purple?

Perhaps Leilani would do her utmost to protect him.

But now, it was already good if Leilani could protect herself, so how could she protect this young man in purple?

"Naive! Ridiculous!"

"In front of so many people, he humiliated the Second Young Master of the Easton Family, Bless Easton, and now he hopes the Easton Family would be merciful? Is he out of his mind?"

"He likes to dream, so just let him have his dream!"

"Exactly. Besides, since he’s willing to go to our Brightfall Family’s main hall to meet with the Easton Family, let him have his moment of rhetoric."

...

A group of Brightfall Family elders talked among themselves, in their words, they all felt Wyatt Barnes was ’talking nonsense in his sleep’!

However, since Wyatt Barnes was willing to go to the Brightfall Family’s main hall to see the Easton Family, they said no more.

After all, Wyatt Barnes was not a member of their Brightfall Family, and though they were elders, they had no authority to dictate Wyatt Barnes’ actions.

As long as Wyatt Barnes didn’t drag the Brightfall Family down with him, they were happy to ignore him.

"Since you are so agreeable... then come with us!"

Jaxton Brightfall looked at Wyatt Barnes with a mocking gaze and said.

After he spoke, he stared intently at Wyatt Barnes.

As if Wyatt would be captured and taken away if he showed any refusal.

The other Brightfall Family elders also looked at Wyatt Barnes at the same time.

They shared the same thought as Jaxton Brightfall.

As long as Wyatt Barnes was willing to go to the Brightfall Family’s main hall to meet the Easton Family, and their family cleared their relationship with him, they wouldn’t be implicated...

If Wyatt Barnes wasn’t willing to go, the Easton Family would surely think the Brightfall Family was sheltering him!

That would surely deepen the ’conflict’ between the Brightfall Family and the Easton Family.

Which wouldn’t be in their interests, nor was it something they wanted to see.

"What’s this? Are you worried that I’m all talk?"

Hearing Jaxton Brightfall, and upon noticing his threatening gaze, Wyatt Barnes glanced at him calmly and asked leisurely.

"I hope you’re not all talk... otherwise, I’d have to take you by force!"

Jaxton Brightfall sneered.

"With just you?"

Hearing Jaxton Brightfall, Wyatt Barnes burst into laughter, and under Jaxton’s angry gaze, he turned to Leilani Brightfall, "Miss Brightfall, I don’t know the way... can you take me to your family’s ’main hall’?"

When speaking to Leilani, Wyatt Barnes’ tone shifted to gentle and friendly.

"But..."

However, hearing Wyatt Barnes, Leilani hesitated.

Initially, she thought her father could rely on the Brightfall Family’s power to protect Wyatt Barnes.

But now it seemed Jaxton Brightfall and a group of family elders wished to send Wyatt Barnes away, fearing implications from him.

Although the elders here with Jaxton Brightfall didn’t represent all family elders, they accounted for more than ’fifty percent’ of them...

Such a number of elders, plus Jaxton Brightfall, the ’Second Master,’ refusing to protect Wyatt Barnes.

Even her father, the family head, would find it difficult to shelter Wyatt Barnes!

"Rest assured."

Seeing Leilani’s hesitation, Wyatt Barnes smiled, his voice calm yet filled with immense confidence, somewhat affecting Leilani.

"Could it be... you have a way to make the Easton Family not dare to touch you?"

For a moment, Leilani couldn’t help but secretly ask Wyatt Barnes.

Because until now, she knew nothing about Wyatt Barnes’ ’background.’

Hearing the strong confidence in Wyatt’s tone, her first thought was that Wyatt’s ’background’ was extraordinary, at least not afraid of the Easton Family, one of the three major families in Airebright City.

"You’ll see when the time comes."

Wyatt Barnes responded to Leilani, his tone still confident, yet leaving some suspense, further convincing Leilani that Wyatt’s ’background’ was extraordinary.

At the very least, capable of a ’counterattack’ in the contention against the Easton Family!

Instantly, Leilani put her mind at ease, left her independent mansion first, and led Wyatt Barnes towards the Brightfall Family’s main hall.

At this moment, her heart was full of curiosity about Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’.

Only, at this moment, she could never have dreamed:

Wyatt Barnes’ ’confidence’ did not come from some background or pedigree of his, but from his own strength!

The Easton Family, as a third-rate power, might have decent strength.

But in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, they were insignificant!

"Let’s go!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes following Leilani Brightfall as they left, heading towards the Brightfall family’s main hall, Jaxton Brightfall immediately called out to a group of Brightfall elders, leading them to follow along.

"Hmph! The young miss is too wilful this time... If possible, I really wish the family would hand her over to the Easton Family for punishment!"

"Exactly! She’s been reckless before, but this time she’s truly gone too far, openly displaying such intimacy with a man in front of so many people in Airebright City..."

"Everyone knows in Airebright City that she is about to marry the Second Young Master of the Easton Family, about to enter the Easton Family!"

"Her actions were tantamount to giving the Easton Family a resounding slap in the face!"

"Now, we can only hope our Brightfall Family can hand over that young man in purple to slightly quell the Easton Family’s anger... As for the mistakes the young miss made, our Brightfall Family can compensate elsewhere."

"No matter what, we absolutely cannot let the Easton Family break with our Brightfall Family... I think, as long as we’re willing to compensate, the Easton Family should not break with our Brightfall Family. After all, the Eastons know that without us, they cannot contend with the Fenning Family!"

...

On the way to the Brightfall main hall, a group of Brightfall elders whispered among themselves again.

Wyatt Barnes naturally heard these whispers as well.

To this, he only shook his head silently.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes cast a glance full of pity at Miss Brightfall, Leilani Brightfall, beside him.

He couldn’t help but feel sorry for her, as she was treated by her own family as a ’tool’ to maintain relations with the Easton Family!

"Ahead is our ’Brightfall main hall’... Are you really sure? If you’re not, you should leave now, I will hold them off!"

Suddenly, Leilani Brightfall slowed her pace and transmitted her voice to Wyatt Barnes.

Simultaneously, Wyatt Barnes also saw in the distance a ’hall’ standing there.

From afar, the hall looked grand and majestic, like a giant beast sprawling there, and its open door seemed like the beast’s gaping maw.

"You? Hold them off?"

Upon hearing Leilani Brightfall’s transmission, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be startled.

Though he had already asked Elder Fire to investigate earlier, discovering that the group behind led by the Brightfall family’s second master, Jaxton Brightfall, were not beings above the ’Saint Immortal Realm’.

The strongest, Jaxton Brightfall, only had cultivation at the ’peak of the Heavenly Saint Realm’.

However, relying solely on Leilani Brightfall’s ’Earth Saint Realm’ cultivation, it was impossible for her to hold off Jaxton Brightfall and others!

"As long as I threaten with my life, saying anyone who chases you will cause me to ’commit suicide’ on the spot... I think, even Jaxton Brightfall wouldn’t dare chase you! He would worry, after I die by suicide, my father wouldn’t spare him!"

Seeming to see through Wyatt Barnes’ ’doubt’, Leilani Brightfall once again transmitted this to Wyatt Barnes.

Her words carried a tone of ’ready to face death with equanimity’!

Though knowing Leilani Brightfall was convinced Jaxton Brightfall and others would not dare chase him under her ’threat’, that’s why she spoke such words.

But hearing Leilani Brightfall say this, Wyatt Barnes’ heart couldn’t help but tremble, warmth rising.

After all, he and Leilani Brightfall only met today.

Even if Leilani Brightfall was confident in her threat to Jaxton Brightfall and others.

But her willingness to do this for him was enough to show she was a rare kindhearted girl, unwilling for him to be harmed because of her.

"Why? Does Miss Brightfall not believe me?"

After taking a deep breath silently, Wyatt Barnes also responded to Leilani Brightfall at an opportune moment, his tone mixed with a few hints of teasing.

"No, it’s just... I’m a bit worried. Since you’re sure, let’s go in... I also want to see the expression on the Easton Family’s faces when they realize they don’t dare touch you."

Leilani Brightfall communicated back to Wyatt Barnes in transmission.

Speaking this, her tone also carried an air of ’playfulness’.

However, hearing her tone also seemed to completely affirm that Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’ was not simple.

At least it would make the Easton Family hesitate, unable to act against him.

"Hmm?"

Arriving outside the Brightfall main hall, Wyatt Barnes saw three people approaching from another direction, one of whom was a middle-aged man in fine clothes accompanied by two elderly men with white hair.

"Father!"

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes heard Leilani Brightfall’s voice next to him, followed by seeing her walk quickly forward to greet the finely dressed middle-aged man.

"Is he the Brightfall Family head?"

In an instant, Wyatt Barnes also realized:

The finely dressed middle-aged man before him was undoubtedly the Brightfall Family head, Collin Brightfall!

Collin Brightfall was a tall middle-aged man, his face chiseled and firm like it was carved from stone, his features very upright, making it easy to imagine him as a handsome man in his youth.
