Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2076: Hev Easton’s ’Terms

"Family Head Brightfall, you’ve truly raised a fine daughter!"

Facing the enthusiastic greeting from Family Head Brightfall, ’Collin Brightfall,’ Family Head Easton, ’Hev Easton,’ wore a face full of cold sarcasm, and his words were anything but polite.

He came with people to demand an explanation, so naturally, he wasn’t going to be polite to Collin Brightfall.

Being polite at this time would be akin to giving away the ’initiative,’ making it hard to strive for greater benefits.

As the head of the Easton Family, Hev Easton was clearly aware of this.

"Hmph!"

On the other side, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Easton Family faced the proactive greeting from the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Brightfall Family with a cold snort, then turned their heads, not even sparing them a glance.

It was as if the two of them owed them money.

This made the latter pair’s expressions look somewhat unpleasant.

However, despite their unpleasant expressions, they couldn’t blow up.

After all, in their view, the Easton Family was in the right today, and the Brightfall Family was not.

"Family Head Easton, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing Hev Easton’s words, the smile on Collin Brightfall’s face completely disappeared, replaced by a sullen look.

As the head of the Brightfall Family, for the sake of his family, he could be polite in front of Hev Easton.

But Hev Easton was now talking about his daughter, and to him, his daughter was more important than his own life!

Therefore, he couldn’t accept others talking about his daughter.

They could say anything about him, but not about his daughter!

Because of this, when he spoke again, Collin Brightfall’s tone turned completely sullen, adding a tense atmosphere to the hall.

Conflict was on the verge of breaking out!

"What do I mean?"

Facing the sullen face of Collin Brightfall, Hev Easton couldn’t help but sneer, "Collin Brightfall, do you really not know what I mean? Don’t tell me you knew nothing about your darling daughter’s actions today!"

As he spoke, Hev Easton’s gaze fell upon ’Leilani Brightfall’ beside Wyatt Barnes, his eyes radiating a chilling light, as if ready to devour someone.

"Family Head!"

At this moment, ’Jaxton Brightfall,’ the second master of the Brightfall Family, spoke to Collin Brightfall: "In today’s matter, we are indeed at fault... I know you care for the eldest lady, but she truly went too far this time!"

Collin Brightfall never expected Jaxton Brightfall to undermine him at such a moment.

For a moment, his expression grew even gloomier.

Even the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family frowned, feeling that Jaxton Brightfall was going too far.

Only the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family had no reaction, as if Jaxton Brightfall’s words were not out of place.

"This Jaxton Brightfall... is he really from the ’Brightfall Family’?"

As Wyatt Barnes looked at Jaxton Brightfall again, his eyes narrowed, feeling that this so-called ’second master’ of the Brightfall Family didn’t seem like one, but more like someone from the Easton Family.

In these circumstances, it’s one thing for the Easton Family to speak ill, given their different stance.

But Jaxton Brightfall, as someone from the Brightfall Family, is not speaking up for his family; instead, he’s speaking for the Easton Family!

Even though Wyatt Barnes was an outsider to the Brightfall Family, he felt that Jaxton Brightfall’s words were ill-considered, practically a ’liability’!

"Master Jaxton of the Brightfall Family truly understands!"

Upon hearing Jaxton Brightfall’s words, Hev Easton seized the opportunity, then looked at Collin Brightfall, sneering: "It’s just that his Martial Dao talent is slightly inferior to yours, Collin Brightfall... otherwise, there’s no way you’d be sitting as the family head today!"

Through his words, Hev Easton shamelessly elevated ’Jaxton Brightfall’ while belittling ’Collin Brightfall’!

This made Collin Brightfall’s expression increasingly unpleasant.

"Hahahaha..."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but laugh, as if he had heard the biggest joke.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Immediately, Hev Easton’s eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Wyatt Barnes, coldly asking.

The voice wasn’t loud, but it was infused with profound Saint Origin, overpowering Wyatt Barnes’s laughter and clearly reaching everyone’s ears.

If this weren’t the Brightfall Family’s hall, he would have already killed the person who humiliated his son!

"I laugh at your wishful thinking!"

In the moment Wyatt Barnes restrained his laughter, he faced Hev Easton’s snake-like gaze without any fear, mockingly saying: "Jaxton Brightfall is just a ’white-eyed wolf’!"

"Even if such a person had more talent, if they became the head of the Brightfall Family, they would inevitably lead it to decline... Thankfully, he didn’t become the head, or else the Brightfall Family might already be subordinated to the ’Fenning Family’."

"And your Easton Family might have already been wiped out by the Brightfall Family under his leadership, united with the Fenning Family!"

As Wyatt Barnes spoke, he grew increasingly brazen, bluntly calling Jaxton Brightfall a ’white-eyed wolf’ and suggesting that if Jaxton had become the family head, he would have pledged allegiance to the Fenning Family, leading the Brightfall Family as their pawn.

As Wyatt Barnes’s words fell.

Whether it was the Family Head Brightfall ’Collin Brightfall’, or the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, they all looked at Wyatt Barnes in astonishment, as if something he said had struck a chord within them.

It’s important to note that in the past, Jaxton Brightfall had indeed suggested having the Brightfall Family surrender to the Fenning Family and ally with them to destroy the Easton Family.

He also mentioned that even if the Fenning Family became dominant, the Brightfall Family could still gain a share of the benefits.

However, in the end, they decided against it.

"Eden Lee, you’re courting death!!"

Listening to Wyatt Barnes’s blatant mockery, Jaxton Brightfall couldn’t restrain his anger any longer.

As he roared in fury, his Holy Power surged within him, ready to burst forth!

"What? Did I hit ’a nerve’, and now you’re angry out of shame?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze shifted slowly from Hev Easton to Jaxton Brightfall, and he couldn’t help but let out a mocking laugh.

This only made Jaxton Brightfall even more furious, as if he was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

It could be imagined.

If Jaxton Brightfall really lost control of his emotions, he would act without hesitation and likely attack Wyatt Barnes immediately.

"Insolent!!"

At that moment, a loud shout echoed throughout the Brightfall Family’s main hall, its lingering sound reverberating.

The one who issued this shout was none other than the ’Second Elder of the Brightfall Family’!

The Second Elder glared at Wyatt Barnes and, with a cold voice, said, "Eden Lee, you, a mere Loose Cultivator, what right do you have to yell and insult the people of our Brightfall Family in our own hall?"

Loose Cultivator!

The mention of this by the Second Elder immediately brightened the eyes of Hev Easton and his entourage from the Easton Family.

When they were on their way here to the Brightfall Family, they had worried that the mysterious purple-robed youth who insulted Bless Easton might have formidable backing.

If the purple-robed youth was connected to a force that the Easton Family couldn’t afford to provoke, no matter how angry they were, they would have to hold back, unless they disregarded the safety of the Easton Family!

Upon hearing from the Second Elder that the purple-robed youth was just a Loose Cultivator, they were immediately at ease.

In their view:

A Loose Cultivator is not worth worrying about!

"Insulting people of the Brightfall Family?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the Second Elder with an increasingly cold tone, "Could it be that you, as the ’Second Elder of the Brightfall Family’, also think it’s right for Jaxton Brightfall to diminish our family’s prestige and boost the Easton Family’s morale at a time like this?"

"Moreover, the Family Head and the Grand Elder haven’t spoken... don’t you, as a mere ’Second Elder’, feel you’re overstepping?"

Wyatt Barnes’s questions lingered, further challenging the Second Elder.

"You... you..."

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes’s words rendered the Second Elder ashen with rage, unable to find a rebuttal.

How could he refute this?

Admit that he thought Jaxton Brightfall’s actions were correct?

Argue that he wasn’t overstepping?

The Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, one of the three Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses in the family, was the only supporter of forcing the eldest daughter, Leilani Brightfall, to marry into the Easton Family.

Wyatt Barnes had already learned this from Leilani before entering the Brightfall Family’s main hall...

This was why Wyatt Barnes had no fondness for the Second Elder.

If the Second Elder hadn’t jumped out, it would have been fine.

But now that he did, and even targeted Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt naturally showed no courtesy!

"Family Head, Grand Elder... I... I was merely stating facts, and I never intended to ’diminish our own family’s prestige or boost another’s morale’!"

With such a serious accusation from Wyatt Barnes, Jaxton Brightfall’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly looked toward the Family Head and Grand Elder to urgently explain, as if afraid that delaying his defense would further anger them.

"Tsk tsk..."

At this moment, Hev Easton, who had been silent, sneered and then said with a mocking smile, "The Brightfall Family, it seems, has indeed fallen... A Loose Cultivator can actually shout and cause a commotion in the Brightfall Family’s main hall!"

"If it were in our Easton Family, such a Loose Cultivator wouldn’t have known how many times they’d have died by now!"

Saying this, Hev Easton looked at Wyatt Barnes with eyes full of killing intent and disdain.

"Is that so?"

Wyatt Barnes, devoid of fear, stared back and coldly retorted.

"Family Head Brightfall!"

Wyatt Barnes’s fearless gaze further enraged Hev Easton, turning his face sullen in an instant as he looked to Family Head Brightfall, Collin Brightfall.

"Today, as long as you hand over this Loose Cultivator to me and let me take him away from the Brightfall Family... the unpleasantness between our two families, our Easton Family will overlook it, and we can write it off!"

Hev Easton’s voice boomed like thunder through the Brightfall Family’s main hall, "Even if our two families cannot become ’in-laws’ in the future, we can still unite to face the ’Fenning Family’ together!"
