Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2077: It’s Time to Make a Move!

Hev Easton’s words were also very straightforward:

As long as the Brightfall Family hands off ’Wyatt Barnes’ to their Easton Family, then their Easton Family will overlook today’s affairs, and even continue to join forces with the Brightfall Family to fight against Airebright City’s leading family, the Fenning Family!

For most people in the Brightfall Family, this is undoubtedly a profit-without-loss ’deal’!

After all, this self-proclaimed ’Eden Lee’ young man in purple is merely a loose cultivator, not a member of their Brightfall Family.

If the Brightfall Family hands this Eden Lee over to the Easton Family for them to handle, the Easton Family will no longer pursue Leilani Brightfall’s actions and won’t hold a grudge against the Brightfall Family!

"Family Head!"

As soon as Hev Easton finished speaking, the Brightfall Family’s second master ’Jaxton Brightfall’ immediately looked at the Brightfall Family head ’Collin Brightfall,’ saying with anticipation, "This Eden Lee is not one of our family members, there’s no need to let him, an outsider, drag our Brightfall Family down!"

"As long as you hand over this Eden Lee, the young mistress doesn’t have to marry into the Easton Family, and the Easton Family won’t hold her actions today against her."

"For our Brightfall Family, for the young mistress, and even for you, family head... it’s a guaranteed profit-without-loss ’deal’!"

By the end of it, Jaxton Brightfall’s tone was excited and urgent.

He wished he were the family head of the Brightfall Family so he could immediately agree to the ’conditions’ proposed by Hev Easton.

In his view, these conditions were too tempting!

It not only resolved today’s matter but also alleviated the ’conflict’ between their Brightfall Family and the Easton Family, bringing countless benefits to the Brightfall Family.

Meanwhile, Collin Brightfall couldn’t help but frown.

Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that the ’conditions’ proposed by Hev Easton involved a certain level of compromise, posing a great temptation for him.

If he cooperates, indeed, as Jaxton Brightfall said, it’s a profitable venture!

However, remembering that ’Eden Lee’ is his daughter’s friend, Collin Brightfall found himself in a dilemma and immediately looked at Leilani Brightfall, his gaze becoming extremely complex.

"Father!"

Seeing Collin Brightfall looking over, Leilani Brightfall naturally also guessed her father’s thoughts.

Without any hesitation, she immediately stated, "What I did today might have been somewhat abrupt, but that’s only regarding Brother Wind Eden Lee. As for the Easton Family... I don’t think my actions have anything to do with the Easton Family!"

"From start to finish, I never agreed to any ’marriage arrangement’ with Bless Easton... In other words, what I, Leilani Brightfall, did has nothing to do with the Easton Family!"

"What right does the Easton Family have to use me to threaten the Brightfall Family?!"

Leilani Brightfall’s words were firm and resolute, stating directly that regardless of what she did, it was unrelated to the Easton Family.

And indeed, that was the truth.

As Leilani Brightfall finished speaking, the faces of the Easton Family members turned extremely unsightly, glaring angrily at her.

"Leilani Brightfall!"

Bless Easton, the second young master of the Easton Family, couldn’t help but growl at this moment, "Now, in Airebright City, who doesn’t know that your Brightfall Family and our Easton Family are to be united, and you and I are the ’symbols’ of this union..."

"In the eyes of the people of Airebright City, you are bound to marry into our Easton Family sooner or later; it’s only a matter of time!"

"Due to this, your actions today have made the Easton Family a ’laughingstock’ in Airebright City! And now, you say your actions have nothing to do with our Easton Family?"

By the end, Bless Easton was almost hysterical, nearly growling.

"Then who is to blame? If not for your Easton Family’s unilateral wishes and spreading ’false news,’ how would the people of Airebright City be mistaken?"

Leilani Brightfall said calmly.

"Unilateral wishes?"

Leilani Brightfall’s words felt like a thorn that made Bless Easton’s face alternate between pale and flushed.

Thinking back, between Leilani Brightfall and him, it seemed indeed to be his wishful thinking!

"Unilateral wishes?"

Hearing Leilani Brightfall’s words, Hev Easton’s face also turned sullen.

Suddenly, Hev Easton looked at the Brightfall Family’s second elder, speaking seriously, "Elder Wells Brightfall, if I remember correctly... it was you personally who nodded in agreement to the marriage between our Easton Family and your Brightfall Family, wasn’t it?"

"Looking at it now, it seems your words as the Brightfall Family’s second elder don’t hold weight in the Brightfall Family!"

"Since they hold no weight, why did you promise so earnestly regarding the marriage union between our two families?"

By the end, Hev Easton’s voice also turned colder.

At the same time, he also informed everyone of one thing:

The marriage union between the Brightfall Family and the Easton Family was orchestrated by the Brightfall Family’s second elder, ’Wells Brightfall’!

As Hev Easton spoke, Leilani Brightfall also looked incredulously at Wells Brightfall, saying agitatedly, "Second... Second Elder, how... how could you decide my marriage?"

All along, Leilani Brightfall only thought that it was the Brightfall Family’s second master ’Jaxton Brightfall’ leading a group of elders from the Brightfall Family to pressurize her father to marry her off to Bless Easton, thus achieving the union between the Brightfall Family and the Easton Family.

From start to finish, even though the marriage union between her family and the Easton Family was being circulated loudly amongst the people of Airebright City, she always believed it was the Easton Family alone promoting this matter.

But she didn’t expect that the Brightfall Family’s second elder, ’Wells Brightfall,’ actually agreed to this marriage on behalf of the Brightfall Family!

Up until the previous moment, she was still in the dark.

"Father!"

Immediately following this, as if realizing something, Leilani Brightfall looked first to her father, Collin Brightfall, the head of the Brightfall Family.

As she looked at Collin, there was a mix of apprehension and unease hidden deep within her autumn-colored eyes.

Right now, she only hoped that her father was also unaware of this matter.

Otherwise, she truly felt that there would be no one in this world she could trust.

"Wells!"

As Collin Brightfall’s expression changed drastically and he spoke out in anger, Leilani couldn’t help but feel a hint of relief.

At least now she could be sure that her father had not known about this in advance.

As head of the Brightfall Family, Collin indeed did not know about this matter.

Upon hearing Hev Easton’s words, he immediately looked angrily at Wells Brightfall and roared almost in a low growl: "What gives you the right to decide my daughter’s marriage? And to do so without the knowledge of me, her father!"

Even the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family now couldn’t help but frown.

This was something he just found out as well.

The Second Elder of the Brightfall Family overstepping his bounds; even he found it hard to tolerate.

"What gives me the right to decide your marriage?"

Wells first looked at Leilani, saying calmly: "Simply because you are a member of the Brightfall Family, and I am the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family! For the sake of the family, you sacrifice a little of yourself to fulfill the entire family, what’s wrong with that?"

"As for you..."

The next moment, Wells turned to Collin and said blandly: "If I had told you about this in advance, would you have agreed to let me do it? Moreover, having your daughter marry into the Easton Family is no loss, and it would even make your position as the ’head’ more stable..."

"Otherwise, who knows when the Brightfall Family might be wiped out by the Fenning Family, and you won’t even be able to remain ’head’!"

Wells’ words seemed to still be considering Collin Brightfall’s position.

"Do you think I’m all that eager to be the ’head’?"

Collin laughed in extreme anger at Wells’ words, "In my eyes, the position of head is not worth a fraction of my daughter... Wells, you are not qualified to decide my daughter’s marriage!"

"Hmph!"

Wells snorted coldly, then added: "Now, even if I wanted to decide your daughter’s marriage, the Easton Family would no longer take her... I really don’t understand, Collin, how you could raise such a loose and wanton daughter!"

"You’ve got a death wish!"

Upon hearing Wells dare to insult his daughter like this, Collin was instantly furious, the Saint Origin within him roaring out as he struck swiftly at Wells.

However, although he and Wells were both ’Saint Immortal First Transformation’ experts, their strengths differed greatly.

Bam!!

About the time a single breath passed, accompanied by a loud bang, Collin was sent flying by a punch from Wells.

"Aagh!"

"Aagh—"

...

As Collin was punched away by Wells, he spat out blood one after another, then heavily fell to the ground in the distance, in utter disarray.

"Father!"

At this moment, Leilani finally came back to her senses, and after calling out in concern, she flew out to her father’s side, helping him up.

Simultaneously, the look in Leilani’s eyes as she stared at Wells now contained deep hatred.

"Wells!"

Just as Wyatt Barnes’ expression darkened and he prepared to act, an angry, harsh voice rang out, causing the Holy Power he had stirred within to relent a bit.

It was the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family, its face gloomy, glaring at Wells with eyes blazing coldly.

"Grand Elder!"

Seeing the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family looking over, Wells’ expression changed.

Though his strength far surpassed that of Collin Brightfall, when compared to this Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family, he was still somewhat inferior.

As a ’Saint Immortal First Transformation’ expert, while his strength was superior to Collin Brightfall, it was nonetheless weaker than this Grand Elder, ranking in the ’upper middle tier’ among Saint Immortal First Transformation experts.

"Grand Elder, everything I, Wells, have done has always been for the good of the family... If you think I’ve done wrong, feel free to strike me down!"

Suddenly, Wells’ demeanor hardened, and he spoke earnestly to the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family.

This tactic of ’retreating in order to advance’ immediately caused the Grand Elder to hesitate.

As the Grand Elder, he naturally also hoped for a brighter future for the Brightfall Family.

Upon reflection, while what Wells had done was excessive, considering the family’s interests, it was somewhat understandable.

"Well made argument about family interests!"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes moved deftly, taking a step forward, and looked at Wells with a derisive smile.

Seeing the Grand Elder hesitate due to Wells’ words, Wyatt realized it was time for him to act!
