Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1076 Kartier Gagnon

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076 Kartier Gagnon

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes seemed to remember something, his brows lifting.

Big brother?

This grey-clothed youth, calling himself "big brother" in front of Jadiel Gagnon?

"Kartier Gagnon!"

Quickly, Wyatt realized who the grey-clothed youth in front of him was.

Within the Gagnon Family, the only person who could call themselves "big brother" in front of Jadiel Gagnon was the legitimate eldest son of the Gagnon family, "Kartier Gagnon", who was also Jadiel’s arch-enemy and the stumbling block to Jadiel’s path to becoming the next patriarch of the Gagnon Family.

Not only that.

"The ’Third Young Master’ of the Gagnon Family, ’Damari Gagnon,’ whom I killed before... I overheard discussions that he was supposedly this Kartier Gagnon’s ’biological younger brother’!"

Biological brother means his own younger brother!

For a moment, Wyatt’s gaze towards Kartier carried a few more traces of vigilance.

"This must be Elder Barnes, right?"

Seeing that Jadiel ignored him, Kartier did not get annoyed and quickly shifted his target, looking towards Wyatt with a radiant smile on his face.

However, the brilliant smile on Kartier’s face seemed incredibly glaring in Wyatt’s eyes.

"This Kartier... does he have a bad relationship with his ’biological brother’ Jadiel?"

Wyatt did not respond to Kartier, instead using Origin Force to inquire with Jadiel.

"They lost their parents when they were young and supported each other, their relationship was naturally very good... for Damari, besides being an older brother, Kartier also played the role of ’father,’ both brother and father!"

Jadiel replied using Origin Force.

All of a sudden, Wyatt felt a chill within.

He did not believe that Kartier was unaware of his killing of Damari.

Yet even so, Kartier could still smile in his presence, which made him feel a cold shiver down his spine, "This Kartier, he’s a highly dangerous person!"

This much, Wyatt could almost ascertain.

Being able to behave normally in the face of the man who killed his younger brother wasn’t something ordinary people could do; those who could were all scheming.

If Kartier had met him with hostility and conflict, he might not have taken Kartier seriously.

But Kartier’s current demeanor made him feel genuinely wary from the bottom of his heart.

An open enemy, not frightful.

A hidden enemy, truly terrifying.

"And who might you be?"

Wyatt looked at Kartier and asked knowingly.

"I am Kartier Gagnon."

Kartier maintained his smile, responding politely to Wyatt.

"Kartier Gagnon? The eldest son of the Gagnon Family?"

Wyatt feigned surprise.

"Yes."

Kartier nodded, then continued, "However, in front of you, Elder Barnes, my position as the eldest son of the Gagnon Family doesn’t count for much... You are a ’Grade One alchemist,’ and even our patriarch and the three Protector Elders have to show you respect."

As he spoke, Kartier’s face showed humility.

Faced with Kartier’s flattery, Wyatt did not pay much attention, instead, he looked deeply at Kartier and asked with a smile, "I heard that... the ’Third Young Master’ of the Gagnon Family, ’Damari Gagnon,’ was your biological younger brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wyatt’s gaze sharpened, locking onto Kartier with a penetrating look.

At the same time, he extended his spiritual power.

"Yes."

Kartier nodded, his smile growing even denser, showing no signs of anger at the mention of ’Damari.’

"Do you know that I killed him?"

Wyatt asked further.

A shock went through Wyatt’s heart as he asked this question.

Because he noticed that when he mentioned ’Damari,’ whether it was his gaze or his spiritual power, none detected any change in Kartier’s emotions.

Not even the slightest bit!

What did this imply?

Either Kartier didn’t care at all about the life or death of his biological brother ’Damari,’

Or Kartier perfectly concealed his emotions.

If it were the former, so be it.

But if it were the latter, then Kartier was far too frightening.

Through the Origin Force query he had just made, he could determine it was not the former; it had to be the latter, which raised an involuntary chill in his heart.

Now, in his eyes, Kartier was like a venomous snake that could easily blend into its surroundings, perfectly hidden.

And such a snake was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, leaving one forever on guard!

Once it strikes, it will kill invisibly.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Wyatt felt his extended spiritual power violently tremble.

That’s when he noticed.

Just as his words fell, there was a significant abnormal fluctuation in Kartier’s emotions.

Kartier’s emotional fluctuation was extremely slight, and fleeting, but his keen spiritual power still clearly sensed it.

Within the emotional turbulence, there lurked a thirst for blood, brimming with murderous intent.

"I know. However, I must thank Elder Barnes for cleaning up my family’s mess! With Damari Gagnon’s temperament, trouble would have inevitably arisen sooner or later. To die at the hands of Elder Barnes can be considered his good fortune."

Kartier Gagnon nodded, his face still adorned with a smile.

However, when his smile caught Wyatt Barnes’s eye, it sent a chill down Wyatt’s spine.

It was also due to Wyatt’s perception through his mental strength that he detected the emotional fluctuations in Kartier Gagnon; otherwise, if judging merely by sight, Wyatt might have been deceived.

"Then it appears I unintentionally provided shade with my planted willow... But there’s no need for your gratitude, as it was merely a trivial effort for me,"

Wyatt Barnes glanced indifferently at Kartier Gagnon and spoke in a calm tone.

"You’re seeking death, boy!"

Just at that moment, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the old man behind Kartier Gagnon, as his energy immediately locked onto Wyatt Barnes.

Following that, he stepped forward, intending to strike at Wyatt.

Whoosh!

However, before the old man could act, he was stopped by an outstretched hand from Kartier Gagnon.

"Elder Barnes, I truly apologize... Elder Lester had a close relationship with Damari Gagnon. If he has been presumptuous, I hope you can forgive him,"

Kartier Gagnon said to Wyatt Barnes with an apologetic face.

Upon hearing this, Wyatt didn’t look at Kartier Gagnon but kept his gaze fixed on the elderly man behind him. The old man’s white hair and eyebrows complemented his hateful and angry stare towards Wyatt.

In an instant, as if perceiving something, Wyatt’s face took on a thoughtful expression.

"This is intriguing indeed."

Wyatt gave the old man a deep look before shifting his gaze. He didn’t engage Kartier Gagnon any further and after beckoning to Jadiel Gagnon, he left alongside him.

Only Kartier Gagnon and the old man behind him remained, standing in the original spot, watching the receding figures of Wyatt Barnes and Jadiel Gagnon.

"Young Master, you should not have stopped me! Just now, I was absolutely confident I could kill him and avenge the Third Young Master,"

The old man, staring at the departing purple silhouette, spoke with a face full of rage and indignation.

"And then what?"

By now, the rich smile on Kartier Gagnon’s face had vanished, replaced by a cold indifference.

"Then..."

The old man, upon hearing this, was momentarily at a loss for words.

If he killed Wyatt, he could indeed become a fugitive, but the Young Master would inevitably be implicated.

After all, his every action represented his Young Master, Kartier Gagnon.

"If you killed him, you would either die or have to flee... And I, even if I could continue to stay with the Gagnon Family, would surely be out of contention for the position of family head! The Gagnon Family wouldn’t want someone who disregards the interests of the family as their head,"

"You should be well aware of this,"

Kartier Gagnon said in a solemn tone.

Indeed, if he let this old man here kill Wyatt Barnes, even if the Gagnon Family didn’t punish him, the family’s higher-ups would undoubtedly hold a grudge against him, believing he had utterly ignored the family’s interests.

Wyatt Barnes was a Grade One alchemist and the top Honorary Minister of the Gagnon Family.

If he were to be killed, it would be a huge loss for the Gagnon Family’s interests.

"Young Master, what about the Third Young Master’s revenge? Are we not going to avenge him?"

The old man said with a sorrowful expression.

"Not avenge him? Impossible! He was my own blood brother! The brother I watched grow up!"

A cold light flickered in Kartier Gagnon’s eyes, but he quickly hid it away, as his slightly fierce expression returned to calm, "However, we must not act rashly... This calls for thorough planning."

"I will follow the Young Master’s arrangements,"

The old man said, his eyes lighting up as he respectfully responded.

On the other side, Wyatt Barnes and Jadiel Gagnon had reached the vicinity of the Gagnon Family Patriarch, Randy Gagnon’s residence. In a mere dozen breaths or so, they would arrive at the mansion in front of them.

"Wyatt, you need to be cautious around Kartier Gagnon... He’s a ’smiling tiger’—one way on the surface, another way in the shadows! Since you killed his blood brother, there’s no way he’d let it go so easily. He’ll certainly not rest until he’s even."

Jadiel Gagnon looked at Wyatt with a serious expression, offering his caution.

Wyatt nodded.

This was something he had noticed long ago without Jadiel Gagnon’s reminder.

"Jadiel Gagnon, the old man behind Kartier Gagnon... do you know ’the details’ about him?"

Wyatt swiftly recalled the old man who had been behind Kartier Gagnon, eager to make a move on him.

"I only know that the old fellow’s surname is ’Lester,’ and people call him ’Elder Lester’... As for his background, I heard he was once a servant by Kartier Gagnon’s grandfather because of his notable talent and later became a collateral member of our Gagnon Family."

"Afterwards, when Kartier Gagnon’s grandfather died, he followed Kartier’s father... And after the deaths of Kartier Gagnon’s parents, he took care of Kartier and Damari Gagnon, the two brothers,"

"It’s said that the old fellow’s strength has stepped into the ’Transforming Void Realm ninefold’, and he’s not very far from the peak of the ’Void Realm.’ His strength is greater than many elders in our Gagnon Family."

Jadiel Gagnon shared everything he knew.

"Transforming Void Realm ninefold?"

Hearing Jadiel Gagnon’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s eyebrows rose in surprise, "That old man is truly hidden deep... He’s clearly a ’Martial Emperor,’ but he proclaims to be only at ’Transforming Void Realm ninefold.’

Just then, when the old man locked on to him with his energy, intending to strike, Wyatt’s mental strength extended immediately, attempting to probe the old man’s cultivation. But as his mental power neared the old man, it seemed to melt into cotton, vanishing without a trace soon after.

At that moment, he knew.

The old man was a ’Martial Emperor’!
