Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 848: The Walton Family Backs Down

Chapter 848: Chapter 848: The Walton Family Backs Down

He naturally recognized these people.

Not long after he and Wyatt Barnes had arrived over the Walton Family estate and he had shouted those provocative words at the Walton Family, he noticed these individuals among the crowd of onlookers.

At that moment, the looks they gave him were crystal clear: they wished to sever all ties with him, fearing they would be drawn into trouble.

Even until this moment, not a single one of these people, who would call him brother on any other day, had bothered to greet him.

Not even with a simple "Origin Force-incorporated shout"!

But now, with Wyatt Barnes toying with the strongest of the Walton Family, the Grand Elder, right in his palm and the Wood Family appearing triumphant, these people couldn’t wait to cozy up to him.

In an instant, Noah Wood felt a chill in his heart.

Of course, Noah Wood did not ignore these people entirely because they had more or less some connections with his Wood Family, and there were many things for which his family still relied on them.

"Headmaster Wood, who is that?"

A crowd surrounded Noah Wood, eyeing the purple-garbed youth from afar with a mix of dread and respect in their eyes, curiously inquiring of Noah Wood.

After all, this purple-garbed youth had come alongside Noah Wood, standing up for the Wood Family.

"He’s a friend of my daughter,"

said Noah Wood, smiling, even though his eyes were filled with complicated emotions when he looked at Wyatt Barnes.

A moment ago, seeing Wyatt’s incapacity to overcome the Grand Elder of the Walton Family, his heart had sunk, completely devoid of the high spirits he had when he first arrived.

But just when his hope was all but extinguished, thinking that the Wood Family would meet its doom, Wyatt Barnes turned the tides.

In an instant, his heart that had plunged from heaven into hell soared back up to heaven again.

He knew, his daughter was saved! The Wood Family was saved!

"A friend of your esteemed daughter?"

Instantly, glimmers of excitement appeared in the eyes of the group around Noah Wood, with some even asking suggestively, "Headmaster Wood, could there be a possibility between them? If the Wood Family could secure such an excellent son-in-law, you could completely surpass the Walton Family and become the number one family in Drifting Cloud Town!"

Hearing this, Noah Wood looked toward the arrogantly standing youth in the distance, his face a bitter smile.

He could tell that his daughter was quite fond of this handsome, outstanding young man; from his daughter’s perspective, a relationship was entirely possible.

But the problem was, the young man had no such intentions!

As someone who had been through it all, he could see that the young man’s affection for his daughter was that of a brother towards a younger sister, devoid of any other feelings.

"I’m afraid he might not fancy my daughter."

Noah Wood sighed, knowing that for a prodigy like Wyatt Barnes, his daughter was destined to be just a passer-by in his life.

Upon hearing Noah Wood’s words, the crowd around did not seem surprised.

"Even if he cannot become something more with your esteemed daughter, as long as he remembers to visit Drifting Cloud Town occasionally and to stop by the Wood Family, that alone would ensure your family’s peace for generations,"

someone else said.

"Indeed, Headmaster Wood, your daughter has certainly met a noble this time,"

the people around said enviously, looking at Noah Wood.

At these words, Noah Wood felt his spirits uplifted for a moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

The Grand Elder of the Walton Family was still there, continuously swinging his giant hammer, each strike falling on the air, causing terrifying blasts and stirring up roiling heat waves.

To the onlooking crowd, the Grand Elder of the Walton Family seemed like a madman.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, what did you do to the Grand Elder?"

Finally, Family Head Walton, Adan Walton gave up on the idea of rousing the elder. Not only had he tried words and the shaping of Origin Force to awaken the elder, but he had also contemplated physically restraining him.

However, every time he tried to approach, the elder swung his hammer toward him, scaring him witless and deterring him from getting any closer.

In the end, even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to bow to Wyatt Barnes and compromise.

"What’s the matter, Family Head Walton, are you saying the Walton Family is conceding defeat? If that’s the case, do you remember our agreement?"

Wyatt Barnes asked with a faint smile.

Adan Walton gave a wry smile and nodded, "Yes, we have lost. The marriage arrangement between the Wood Family and the Walton Family is to be annulled as of today!"

"Father!"

From afar, Esteban Walton, standing among the Walton crowd, changed color dramatically, stepped forward harshly, and roared angrily, "I don’t agree! Daisy Wood is my fiancée, I refuse to call off the engagement!"

"Hmm?"

Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brows and glanced toward Esteban Walton, realizing that this man was the Walton Family scion engaged to Daisy Wood.

No wonder he had felt the man’s hostile gaze; he was the one intimately involved.

In response to Esteban Walton’s outburst, Wyatt Barnes did not react and instead serenely looked toward Adan Walton, trusting that the latter would handle the situation.

"Shut up!"

Adan Walton glared at Esteban Walton and scolded him coldly, "Second son, put away those ridiculous thoughts! From this moment on, if you dare say another word, I will have you thrown out of the Walton Family immediately!"

Chastised harshly by Adan Walton, Esteban Walton was stunned and indeed dared not speak another word.

What a joke!

Get out of the Walton Family?

He wouldn’t dare even if it meant death!

Without the Walton Family, he was nothing.

Of that, he was well aware.

Esteban Walton stared at Wyatt Barnes with hatred, grinding his teeth, filled with extreme loathing, "It’s all because of this Wyatt Barnes... all because he meddles in other people’s business!"

At that moment, Esteban Walton wished he could hack Wyatt Barnes into a thousand pieces, but the thought of Barnes playing the Walton Family’s Grand Elder in the palm of his hand made a shiver run up his spine.

"Wyatt Barnes, I will never let this go! Never!"

Esteban Walton’s eyes were filled with a sinister gleam as he roared with fury in his heart.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, the marriage contract between the Wood Family and Walton Family, as of today, no longer exists... Furthermore, my Walton Family will not trouble the Wood Family over this matter,"

Adan Walton said sincerely to Wyatt Barnes, then turned to the ’deranged’ elder with a bitter smile, "Now, can you restore the Grand Elder to normal?"

"He is more normal than anyone."

Wyatt Barnes spoke indifferently, and at the same time, with a thought, he retracted the Soul Technique ’Thousand Illusions’, and the illusory space enveloping the Walton Family’s Grand Elder dissipated.

Naturaly, the Grand Elder of the Walton Family wasn’t insane; he had merely been attacking an illusory ’himself’ in that illusory space.

With the illusionary space gone, the Grand Elder immediately spotted Wyatt Barnes and swung up his giant hammer to strike again.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, what are you doing? I’ve done as you asked, why haven’t you released the Grand Elder?"

A familiar and low voice entered the ears of the Walton Family’s Grand Elder, leaving him thunderstruck.

"Family Head, what did you say? You want him to release me?"

The Grand Elder frowned at Adan Walton and then scolded angrily, "Foolish! Can’t you see that in the face of my attacks, he could only dodge clumsily? Just give me time, and I will surely crush him into a meat patty!"

The Grand Elder berated Adan Walton, causing him to be momentarily stunned, and then his expression brightened, "Grand Elder, you’re lucid now?"

"I’ve always been lucid!"

The Grand Elder frowned impatiently, "Enough, off you go! Once I’ve smashed this damned brat into a meat patty, we’ll talk."

Saying that, he turned around, ready to strike at Wyatt Barnes again.

"Family Head Walton, if this senior makes a move again, I don’t mind letting him indulge in madness once more!"

Wyatt Barnes said directly to Adan Walton with a cold smile on his lips.

"No! No!"

Adan Walton panicked, hurriedly flashing in front of Wyatt Barnes to shield him, and with a bitter smile looked at the elder, "Grand Elder, you’ve been defeated... There’s no need to continue this battle!"

"What do you mean I’ve been defeated? Family Head, you’re not that old, have you become senile too?!"

The elder hummed discontentedly.

"Grand Elder, if you don’t believe me, feel free to ask the Second Elder, Third Elder... just now, Wyatt Barnes stood there, and from beginning to end, you never touched him; you were just attacking the air by yourself,"

Adan Walton was indeed afraid that the elder would strike at Wyatt Barnes, who would surely counter with that unfathomably mystic technique again.

Who knew if Walton’s techniques used on someone would leave any sequelae?

The Grand Elder was their Walton Family’s main pillar and could not be lost!

"What?!"

Hearing Adan Walton’s serious words, the elder was stunned, "How is that possible?! I was clearly chasing down that boy and pounding away; it’s just that he was too quick, and I didn’t hit him! When did I attack the air?"

"Grand Elder, what the Family Head said is true."

At that moment, Rhys Walton said with a bitter smile as he looked at the elder.

"Yes, Grand Elder, we all saw it with our own eyes."

The other Walton Family members nodded their heads, corroborating what Adan Walton and Rhys Walton had said.

For a time, the elder fell silent.

As he noticed the many gazes sweeping over him, he began to realize that he might have indeed done those absurd things a moment ago.

Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed the elder’s mind, and he looked at Wyatt Barnes with a complicated expression, "Did I really fall into an ’illusionary realm’ you created?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, not denying it.

"But I didn’t detect any presence or fluctuation of ’Inscription’ or ’Inscription formations’."

The elder frowned, although he wasn’t an inscriptionist, he was confident he could easily sense the presence and fluctuations of inscriptions and inscription formations.

"I didn’t use inscriptions or inscription formations."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "This is a technique I have mastered on my own, as for what exactly it is, I’m afraid I can’t disclose that to you, senior."

Hearing this, the elder sighed, then turned to leave with a somewhat disheartened demeanor, vanishing into the Walton Family estate in an instant.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, would you care to visit my Walton Family estate?"

At that moment, Adan Walton looked at Wyatt Barnes and extended the invitation, clearly not forgetting what he had previously said to Barnes.
