Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2079: Two Paths

"No! No!! No... No! Absolutely not!!!"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Wells Brightfall, the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, was immediately frightened pale, his body trembling violently, nearly scared out of his wits!!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

In his panicked defense, Wells Brightfall began to kowtow even faster.

With each loud bang, the floor of the Brightfall Family’s main hall cracked beneath his forehead, a network of terrifying cracks spreading out like a giant spider’s web.

At this moment, Wells Brightfall completely abandoned ’identity’ and ’dignity’.

Now, he had only one thought left:

Survive!

As someone who had reached the ’First Transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm’, only Wells himself knew the hardships he endured to get here.

Hundreds of years of struggle had led to his achievements today!

If he were to die just like that, he would be leaving this world forever, rendering his centuries of effort futile!

At this thought, he naturally felt extremely reluctant!

He knew that even if he made no further progress in cultivation, with his current level, living for another thousand years would pose no problem.

Precisely because of this, Wells Brightfall desperately wanted to live on...

He hadn’t lived enough!

He had another thousand years of life!

Earlier, when Wyatt Barnes approached him menacingly, Wells considered all this.

Facing the intangible pressure from Wyatt, his mental defenses completely collapsed...

At this moment, he even didn’t hesitate to kneel and plead for mercy from Wyatt, just to continue living!

To him now, as long as he could survive, nothing else mattered!

"No?"

Wyatt Barnes looked coldly at Wells Brightfall, who was kneeling and kowtowing for mercy, a cold smile playing at his lips as he leisurely said, "So, are you suggesting... I’m deaf? Or am I blind? Is that it??"

As he spoke, Wyatt’s tone grew more intense.

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Wells Brightfall realized he had misspoken.

Noticing the intensification in Wyatt’s tone, his heart trembled, and he was nearly scared out of his wits once again!

Following this, he kowtowed even more vigorously, pleading, "Sir, I had eyes but failed to see the mountain... I beg for your mercy! If you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to serve you diligently without any complaint!"

"Sir, spare my life! Spare my life!!"

With his face stained by the blood dripping from his forehead, Wells Brightfall now seemed more like a guilty slave than a ’Saint Immortal Realm expert’!

If anyone present could understand Wells’ current feelings, it would be the other five ’Saint Immortal Realm experts’!

Wyatt Barnes’ previous sword strike to kill the Brightfall Family’s Second Lord, Jaxton Brightfall, induced a fear deep from their souls!

After that, the thought of opposing Wyatt didn’t even occur to them.

Therefore, seeing Wells act so submissively in front of Wyatt, they did not look down on Wells at all; rather, they found it completely understandable.

"You like serving like an ox or a horse?"

Annoyed by Wells Brightfall’s repeated pleading, Wyatt Barnes frowned and asked sternly.

"Yes, yes... I am willing to serve as an ox or a horse!!"

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Wells Brightfall couldn’t help but sigh in relief, for he sensed a ’turning point’.

A ’turning point’ that might allow him to survive!

"I don’t need you to serve like an ox or a horse!"

However, Wyatt’s next words felt like an icy plunge to Wells Brightfall, making him feel inexplicably cold all over.

Just when Wells Brightfall felt like the sky was about to collapse on him.

"However..."

Wyatt Barnes changed his tone and continued, "If Miss Brightfall wishes for you to serve her like an ox or a horse, I might consider letting this go!"

Wyatt’s words suddenly made Leilani Brightfall, who was supporting her father, the focus of everyone present.

"I..."

Initially shocked by Wells Brightfall’s demeanor in front of Wyatt, Leilani was at a loss upon hearing Wyatt’s words and feeling the gazes directed at her.

Bam!!

Before Leilani could gather her thoughts, a spectral figure appeared in front of her, immediately kneeling on the ground.

A closer look revealed it was none other than Wells Brightfall, the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, who had been kneeling before Wyatt moments ago.

"Second Elder, you..."

Seeing the once high and mighty Second Elder, Wells Brightfall, kneeling in front of her, Leilani was frightened, her expression changing with a hint of panic.

No wonder Leilani reacted this way.

In the past, within the Brightfall Family, as the Second Elder and the second strongest person in the family, Wells Brightfall’s status surpassed even the head of the Brightfall Family!

He was second only to the Grand Elder.

Yet today, this being whom even her father, the head of the Brightfall Family, Collin Brightfall, feared was kneeling in front of her, a younger member of the family!

Leilani was utterly dumbfounded.

"Miss Brightfall, from this day on, I, Wells Brightfall, am your ’dog’!"

While Leilani Brightfall was stunned with fear, Wells Brightfall declared with unwavering conviction:

"From now on, Miss Brightfall, whoever you point to, I will bite without hesitation! If you don’t believe me, I shall make a ’Thunder Punishment Oath’ right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wells Brightfall took action.

He pricked his finger, and a drop of blood rose into the air. As Wells Brightfall spoke his oath, the ’Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation’ of the oath soon responded:

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

The sound of nine thunderclaps signified that the ’Thunder Punishment Oath’ made by Wells Brightfall had been acknowledged by the oath’s tribulation, leaving no room for repentance.

Unless he wished to be struck dead by the Thunder Punishment!

From Wells Brightfall’s previous actions, it was apparent that he feared death.

With the constraint of a Thunder Punishment Oath, naturally, he wouldn’t dare to act against it.

"Second Elder, you... you don’t have to do this!"

When Wells Brightfall declared he would be her ’dog,’ Leilani Brightfall was taken aback.

Now, seeing Wells Brightfall even make a ’Thunder Punishment Oath,’ she quickly recovered, gesturing urgently at Wells Brightfall to stop.

All along, with Wells Brightfall as the ’Second Elder of the Brightfall Family,’ Leilani Brightfall had always approached him with utmost respect, never daring to be negligent.

Yet today, this person whom she had always needed to respect in the past, swore a Thunder Punishment Oath saying he’d be an obedient ’dog’ by her side!

How could she possibly accept this?

She was lucky not to be scared into a heart attack!

"Miss Brightfall, the Thunder Punishment Oath is made; from now on, this old servant will follow only your commands!"

Wells Brightfall’s blood-stained face showed no expression, but his words were filled with firm resolve and an incontrovertible tone.

"Miss Brightfall, since he wants to serve as your subordinate, just let him... In this way, you’ll have another person at your disposal in the future."

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes also spoke to Leilani Brightfall.

The ’performance’ of Wells Brightfall satisfied him greatly, alleviating all the anger he harbored towards Wells Brightfall.

"Wyatt..."

Hearing Wyatt Barnes speak, Leilani Brightfall looked at Wyatt Barnes immediately, starting to speak, but then remembered Wyatt Barnes’s previous ’reminders,’ quickly changing her tone: "Brother Eden, I already have many maids and servants by my side..."

"Do you mean to say you lack people to order around?"

Wyatt Barnes interrupted Leilani Brightfall’s words and asked.

"Yes."

Leilani Brightfall hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Though she didn’t understand why their family’s Second Elder ’Wells Brightfall’ feared Wyatt Barnes so much, the thought of Wells Brightfall being her servant made her uncomfortable.

"If that’s the case, there’s no need to keep him!"

Hearing Leilani Brightfall’s response, Wyatt Barnes nodded, then looked at Wells Brightfall again, a fierce glint in his eye.

Almost as Wyatt Barnes’s words fell, and his gaze sharply turned towards Wells Brightfall.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

...

Wells Brightfall frantically began kowtowing to Leilani Brightfall, pleading with agitation, "Miss Brightfall, I beg you... I beg you to accept me! Please! I beg you!!"

Now Wells Brightfall was entirely devoid of his previous arrogance.

Now, he only wanted to be a servant by Leilani Brightfall’s side, so that he could continue to live.

Even if living in humiliation, it nevertheless meant survival.

"Leilani, take him in."

At the same time, the head of the Brightfall Family, Collin Brightfall, supported by Leilani Brightfall, also regained his senses and immediately advised Leilani Brightfall to accept Wells Brightfall as a servant.

Seeing Wells Brightfall, the one who had just injured him, end up in such a plight, Collin Brightfall only felt a sense of refreshment, as if he were dreaming, but he wasn’t too surprised.

Wells Brightfall’s current ’behavior’ seemed insane, but he could understand.

After all, Wyatt Barnes’s formidable strength was right there, leaving Wells Brightfall with only two paths:

The first path, death!

The second path, life, but he must become a servant to his daughter Leilani Brightfall!

"Father..."

Hearing her father’s words, Leilani Brightfall was stunned, not expecting her father would also persuade her to accept Wells Brightfall as a servant.

"Leilani, your Brother Eden is no ordinary person... he goes to such lengths for you, you should appreciate it!"

Collin Brightfall conveyed to Leilani Brightfall, continuing to advise her.

No ordinary person!

Now, even if Leilani Brightfall’s reaction was slow, she had already guessed that Wyatt Barnes was no ordinary person.

If he were ordinary, how could he kill their family’s second master ’Jaxton Brightfall’?

How could he make their family’s Second Elder ’Wells Brightfall’ kneel and beg for mercy, agreeing to such an unreasonable demand to become her servant?

From start to finish, even the strongest Grand Elder of their Brightfall Family had only stood silently by, watching without speaking a word.

Clearly.

Even the Grand Elder of their Brightfall Family, the person she had respected most in the past...

Now, in front of Wyatt Barnes, didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly!!
