Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2080: Fearless in Ignorance

"I... I agree then."

After glancing at Wells Brightfall, who was kowtowing continuously towards her, Leilani Brightfall looked at Wyatt Barnes not far away. Finally, under the signal from Wyatt’s gaze, she agreed.

Hearing Leilani agree, Wells Brightfall’s body suddenly trembled with joy.

"Thank you, Miss Leilani! Thank you, Miss Leilani!!"

After a burst of gratitude, Wells Brightfall finally stood up and immediately positioned himself behind Leilani Brightfall. He quickly assumed his role as Leilani’s ’servant.’

"Patriarch, I’m sorry for the earlier offense... After this matter, should you deem punishment necessary, I, Wells Brightfall, will gladly accept it without hesitation!"

Standing behind Leilani, Wells greeted Collin Brightfall.

In the past, as the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, his strength far surpassed that of the family head, allowing him to disregard the family head.

This was evident from his previous fight with Collin Brightfall where he injured Collin.

But now, everything has changed.

Collin Brightfall, in his eyes, was no longer just the ’patriarch of the Brightfall Family,’ but also the father of his current master.

As for his master Leilani Brightfall, she was under the protection of that powerful loose cultivator who called himself "Eden Lee!"

Eden Lee could easily kill him!

Because of Eden Lee, he became Leilani Brightfall’s servant and naturally dared not treat Collin Brightfall as he did in the past.

Phew!

The Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family stood not far away. Seeing Wells’s lucky escape, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, his back felt cold with sweat, his clothes damp and clinging to him.

To be honest.

Upon first meeting ’Eden Lee’ and hearing him claim to be merely a ’loose cultivator,’ he hadn’t given Eden Lee much thought.

Later, entering this main hall, he heard of the conditions proposed by the Easton Family’s Patriarch, Hev Easton.

In his heart, he was also willing to hand Eden Lee over to resolve the feud between the Brightfall Family and the Easton Family!

After all, Eden Lee was not part of the Brightfall Family; there was no need to fall out with the Easton Family over him!

Falling out with the Easton Family held only disadvantages for the Brightfall Family.

If the two families were to fall out, the leading family in Airebright City, the Fenning Family, could easily defeat them separately, extinguishing the Easton Family first, then the Brightfall Family!

Or possibly extinguish the Brightfall Family first, then the Easton Family!

In the prospect of the family’s survival, a mere loose cultivator seemed insignificant.

However, because Eden Lee was a friend of Leilani Brightfall and he considered Leilani to be half a ’granddaughter.’

He had those thoughts, yet didn’t express them openly.

Only, the way things unfolded completely exceeded his expectations!

Firstly, the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, Wells Brightfall, without obtaining the consent of Collin and Leilani Brightfall, privately betrothed Leilani to the Second Young Master of the Easton Family, forming a marriage alliance, which was discovered.

Then, the seemingly unremarkable loose cultivator "Eden Lee" stepped forward and sternly rebuked Wells.

Immediately after, Wells was enraged and attempted to attack Eden Lee.

At the critical moment, the Second Lord of the Brightfall Family, Jaxton Brightfall, attacked Eden Lee first but was instantly killed in one move by Eden!

Eden’s swift sword strike that killed Jaxton was so quick that even he, at the pinnacle of the first transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm, close to the second transformation, couldn’t see a thing.

At that moment, a cold dread involuntarily welled up inside him!

He had a very certain intuition:

Even if he were in Jaxton’s place, he too would be instantly killed by that sword!

"The third transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm... This Eden Lee must be at least a third transformation Saint Immortal or higher! Even the second transformation of the Saint Immortal Realm couldn’t perform such a terrifying strike!"

This was the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family’s inner thought when Wyatt Barnes killed Jaxton.

And this thought wasn’t unique to him.

Even Collin Brightfall, Wells Brightfall, the Easton Family’s Patriarch Hev Easton, and their Grand and Second Elders shared the same belief!

Because of this, faced with the approaching Wyatt Barnes, Wells crumbled!

For this reason, the other five experts of the Saint Immortal Realm, including the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family, didn’t feel that Wells’s capitulation to Wyatt Barnes was shameful.

In fact, they felt it was normal and nothing to be surprised about!

The main hall of the Brightfall Family quickly fell silent once more.

Finally, Wyatt Barnes was the first to break the silence in the main hall.

He suddenly turned around, and then looked at a group of people standing not far away, calmly observing them...

And the group being watched by Wyatt was none other than the ’Easton Family.’

Seeing Wyatt shift his focus onto them, despite being mentally prepared, the Easton Family couldn’t help but panic, their faces changing color collectively.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

...

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes stepped forward slowly, walking towards the Easton Family.

This scene seemed to be repeating the earlier situation when Wyatt approached Wells Brightfall.

However, when faced with Wyatt Barnes, Wells Brightfall immediately conceded, kneeling down to apologize.

In the end, to save his life, he even agreed to become the servant of Leilani Brightfall!

"Now, will the Easton Family kneel down and apologize like Wells Brightfall did?"

At this moment, no matter if it was Collin Brightfall, the head of the Brightfall family, or the Grand Elder of the Brightfall family, they couldn’t help but ponder this same question.

Thud!

Thud!

...

With each step Wyatt Barnes took, a soft sound resonated on the ground.

And this series of soft sounds, when it reached the ears of the Easton Family entourage, it was like thunder, startling them to their core.

At this moment, only Bless Easton, the second young master of the Easton family, and two ordinary elders felt slightly better.

Although they realized Wyatt Barnes’s strength was formidable, they didn’t have an accurate understanding, nor were they certain if Wyatt could be stronger than their three Saint Immortal Realm experts combined!

At present, neither Hev Easton, head of the Easton family, nor the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Easton family, could withstand as Wyatt Barnes approached step by step!

Of course, they differed slightly from Wells Brightfall, who had been isolated and helpless before.

They stood together in a group, and although they feared Wyatt, they felt slightly better than Wells Brightfall.

Even as Wyatt Barnes approached them, they did not kneel and beg for mercy like Wells Brightfall did.

However, the terror in their hearts was no less than what Wells felt at that time...

"It seems the head of the family, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder are not afraid of this Eden Lee!"

The apparent ’calmness’ of the three Saint Immortal Realm experts of the Easton Family misled Bless Easton and the two ordinary elders, causing them to believe that the three were not afraid of the purple-clad young man before them.

This allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief, and they thought Wyatt Barnes was not as fearsome as imagined.

If Hev Easton and the other two knew the thoughts of Bless and the others, they might have been so angry they’d spit blood!

Were they not afraid of the purple-clad young man?

In reality, they were more than eager to kneel and beg for mercy, praying the other party wouldn’t trouble them or the Easton Family!

However, because the three stood together with no one leading, they remained inactive.

"Just now..."

Wyatt Barnes’s calm gaze first landed on Hev Easton, head of the Easton Family, speaking softly: "Patriarch Easton, you seem to want the Brightfall family to hand me over... are you planning to invite me to your Easton home as a guest?"

"Since the patriarch invites so warmly, it makes it hard for me to refuse... shall I accompany you back to the Easton home?"

As he spoke, a hint of mockery appeared in the depths of Wyatt’s eyes.

This statement terrified Hev Easton, causing his legs to nearly buckle beneath him!

As Hev Easton felt his legs go weak, and he wished he could slap himself for saying those words earlier.

"Eden Lee, you’re dreaming!"

An indignant shout suddenly echoed through the Brightfall family hall, shocking everyone inside and drawing all eyes.

Instantly, including Wyatt Barnes, everyone’s gaze fell on the source of the shout.

Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes.

As for the others, besides the two ordinary Easton elders and the one who shouted, they were momentarily stunned.

The one who shouted was none other than Bless Easton, the second young master of the Easton family!

Now, Bless Easton mustered his courage, looking at Wyatt Barnes with a somber face.

Seeing everyone’s sight on him, he straightened slightly and shouted, "My father asked the Brightfall family to hand you over because he intends to slaughter..."

Bam!!

"Ah—"

Before Bless Easton could finish, he was interrupted.

As he was cut short, a loud noise was accompanied by a piercing scream.

The two sounds occurred almost simultaneously.

Boom!

About half a breath later, another soft thud echoed, sounding like something heavy hitting the ground.

It was Bless Easton, halfway through his words, being kicked away by a panic-stricken Hev Easton.

Throughout, Hev Easton didn’t even have time to sternly rebuke Bless; he only managed to stop him from speaking further.

When he kicked Bless away, Hev Easton felt his lungs were about to explode from rage!

This prodigal son!

Even now, couldn’t he see how formidable this loose cultivator was?

Didn’t he notice he and the Grand Elder and Second Elder had to play subservient roles before him?

"Fath... Father!!"

Kicked away with only minor superficial wounds, Bless Easton was initially filled with anger.

But upon realizing his father was the one who kicked him, he was utterly confounded, "Father... what... what are you doing?!"
