Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 857: Approve, Approve!

Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Approve, Approve!

"No..."

Esteban Walton heard Briggs Colby asking Noel Walton a question, and since he was facing away from Noel and unable to communicate through Origin Force vocalization, he immediately became anxious. He opened his mouth, trying to stop Noel.

Smack!

Wyatt Barnes, who was ready for it, raised his hand and sent a slap flying across Esteban’s face, leaving him dizzy, "Shut up! Say one more word, and I’ll turn your face into a pig’s head!"

"You!!"

Watching Wyatt treat his brother this way, Noel’s face changed drastically and his eyes turned bloodshot, but he was completely incapable of exerting any force at that moment and could only watch helplessly.

"Father, Master, stop him quickly!"

Noel pleaded for help from Adan Walton and Briggs Colby, but soon realized that neither his father nor his master had any intention of coming to Esteban’s rescue.

For a moment, he faintly sensed something odd about the atmosphere.

"Father, what’s happening?"

Noel looked bewilderedly toward Adan Walton.

"Noel, answer your master’s question,"

Adan Walton said with a grave expression.

Only then did Noel notice Briggs Colby looking at him sternly, and he dared not delay, recounting everything Esteban had told him when he had just entered the Walton household.

"That Wyatt Barnes, not only did he impersonate a disciple of the Five Elements Sect’s Niklaus Woodson to bully men and women outside, but he also forcibly took over my brother’s fiancée, pressured the Wood Family to annul their marriage with us, making our Walton Family lose face!"

Noel looked toward Wyatt Barnes, his teeth clenched with anger, "That’s why I wanted to teach him a lesson myself, and it has nothing to do with Esteban! Besides, Master, don’t you think he deserves to be taught a lesson?"

"Impersonating our Niklaus Woodson disciple?"

Briggs Colby, after hearing Noel Walton’s words, his face darkened as he looked coldly towards Wyatt Barnes, "What’s your explanation?"

"Explanation?"

Wyatt Barnes laughed, glanced at Briggs Colby, and said, "Elder Colby, to tell the truth, before I helped the Wood Family annul the marriage agreement with the Walton Family, I didn’t even know about the existence of the Five Elements Sect, let alone any ’Niklaus Woodson.’"

"As for my reason for seeking the marriage annulment with the Waltons, Family Head Walton knows very well... If Family Head Walton can’t give a clear account, I’ve brought the person concerned here too."

With that, Wyatt Barnes looked toward Daisy Wood standing behind Noah Wood, "Daisy, come here."

Daisy obediently stood beside Wyatt Barnes, her eyes shyly looking towards Briggs Colby.

To her, an elder of the Five Elements Sect was a distant figure to be looked up to, and facing him directly made her heart fill with trepidation.

"There’s no need for Miss Wood to speak for herself in this matter."

Adan Walton took a deep breath and then proceeded to explain to Briggs Colby the farce of the marriage agreement between the Wood Family and the Walton Family, while also disclosing all the wrongdoings his younger son had committed over the past few years.

"Thus, it’s my wayward son who is unworthy of Miss Wood! Elder Brother Ling Tian sought to annul the marriage with our Walton Family for a just cause, with an open heart, only to repay Miss Wood for the life-saving grace she had extended, seeking nothing beyond that."

As he said this, Adan Walton looked angrily at Esteban Walton, who had his back to them, and said sharply, "But I never expected that my wayward son would twist the truth in front of Noel... The real culprit of bullying men and women is him, yet in his narrative, it became Elder Brother Ling Tian!"

"Regarding the impersonation of a disciple from the Five Elements Sect’s Niklaus Woodson and such, it is certainly a slander he crafted against Elder Brother Ling Tian, meant to infuriate Noel, to make Noel stand up for him!"

Adan Walton’s anger surged towards the end, causing his robes to flutter around him without any wind, rustling loudly.

"What?!"

Noel, upon hearing his father’s words, turned pale and stared incredulously at Esteban’s back, murmuring, "It was Esteban... When did Esteban change in this way? How could Esteban turn out like this?!"

"No! Impossible! Impossible!!"

Noel couldn’t accept the fact that his brother was a profligate and frequently bullied men and women, and the shock rendered him breathless, leading to his heart getting flooded with rage, causing him to faint once more.

"Third Elder, please take the Young Master down to rest."

Adan Walton sighed and then turned to look toward Rhys Walton, who had been standing silently to one side, signaling to him.

"Yes."

Rhys Walton respectfully acknowledged and then supported the unconscious Noel Walton away.

"It seems I misunderstood you,"

Briggs Colby looked at Wyatt Barnes, forcing a smile that appeared amiable, "Your name is Wyatt Barnes?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Very well, very well."

Briggs Colby sized up Wyatt Barnes, wearing a pleased smile on his face.

"Elder Colby, he’s the young man I mentioned to you before,"

Adan Walton, sensing Briggs Colby’s interest in Wyatt Barnes, spoke up with a smile, "On that day, he sought to repay Miss Wood for saving his life by single-handedly entering our Walton estate, first defeating me, then our Senior Elder, and succeeding in annulling the ludicrous marriage agreement between the Wood and Walton families."

"To go to such lengths to repay the debt of a life saved, it’s rare indeed."

Briggs Colby’s gaze upon Wyatt Barnes became even more approving—he could tell from this incident alone that Wyatt Barnes’s character was completely without issue.

His previous concerns were entirely unnecessary.

Moreso, Wyatt Barnes’s martial Dao talent was simply terrifying!

A young man who appeared only to be about twenty-five years old was capable of defeating the Senior Elder of the Walton Family who was in the sixth level of the Cave Void Realm.

Even in their Five Elements Sect, they did not possess such an outstanding disciple!

"Perhaps, he is our ’Niklaus Woodson’s’ opportunity!"

As Elder Colby’s gaze fell upon Wyatt Barnes, it became somewhat excited, as if he could see the rise of their Niklaus Woodson, as if he could see the dropped jaws of people from the other three peaks.

"Family Head Walton, if you praise me any further, I might just blush."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile and then raised his hand to drop Esteban Walton on the ground. A sharp gleam flickered in his eyes, "Family Head Walton, about this matter... how do you plan to resolve it?"

Once Wyatt had spoken, Elder Colby’s gaze also shifted toward Adan Walton, becoming somewhat more piercing.

Clearly, the Third Elder of the Five Elements Sect also disapproved of Esteban Walton’s despicable actions, especially since Esteban had trapped his own brother, who was also his disciple, making him even angrier.

However, as they say, ’Even an upright official struggles to settle a family dispute.’ He knew in his heart that he was ultimately an outsider in the Walton Family and it was not appropriate for him to interfere in these affairs.

"Brother Barnes, rest assured, I will give you and Elder Colby a satisfactory explanation!"

Adan Walton took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Dad, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please spare me this time, spare me this time!"

Esteban Walton, noticing the cold and fierce glance from Adan Walton, seemed to realize what was about to happen. He couldn’t help but shiver, his voice trembling as he pleaded for mercy.

Unfortunately, the pleading of Esteban Walton did not diminish the severity in Adan Walton’s eyes; it seemed he had also given up on his youngest son.

Then, to Wyatt Barnes’ astonishment, Adan Walton approached Esteban Walton and raised his hand, knocking the despondent and limp Esteban unconscious on the ground.

Crack!

Crack!

...

Four consecutive sounds of bones breaking reverberated, chilling to the bone. It was Adan Walton, who in a matter of seconds had crushed all four limbs of his son Esteban Walton’s skeleton.

Given how ruthlessly he had acted, even if there were ’Grade One Return-Life Pills,’ it was doubtful Esteban Walton’s crippled limbs would ever recover.

"From today onwards, this wicked son will spend his lifetime in the Walton Family. The Walton Family will ensure he lives peacefully in his bed for the rest of his life, never again causing trouble outside."

Adan Walton’s cold voice conveyed his resolve.

They say ’Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs,’ but now Adan Walton was in a difficult position and had no choice but to make a firm decision.

Otherwise, who knows what trouble his youngest son could cause in the future.

The Walton Family elders sighed, but none of them found Esteban Walton pitiable; in their view, this might even be the best outcome for him.

"Brother Barnes, let’s go back."

As soon as the sound of bones breaking was heard, Daisy Wood’s pretty face turned deathly pale, and she couldn’t help but close her eyes, not daring to look.

"Alright."

Wyatt Barnes nodded with a smile, then took Daisy Wood’s hand and bid farewell to Adan Walton and Elder Colby, "Family Head Walton, Elder Colby, since matters here have concluded, I will take my leave..."

After speaking, Wyatt Barnes, with Daisy Wood in tow, and Noah Wood started flying away from the Walton Family’s main hall.

"Brother Barnes!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes about to leave, Adan Walton became anxious. He had just bragged to Elder Colby that he would introduce Wyatt Barnes to him.

"Do you need something, Family Head Walton?"

Wyatt Barnes paused midair, asking with a puzzled look.

"It’s not that I need something, but rather Elder Colby. I wonder if you might be interested..."

Adan Walton looked at Wyatt Barnes, intending to ask if Wyatt was interested in joining the Five Elements Sect, but before he could finish his question, Wyatt cut him off, "Are you asking if I am interested in joining the Five Elements Sect, Family Head Walton?"

"Exactly!"

Adan Walton nodded, surprised that Wyatt Barnes had guessed his thoughts.

"I am."

Wyatt Barnes didn’t beat around the bush, nodding his head, then turned to the excited Elder Colby with a slight smile, "Of course, that’s if Elder Colby finds me suitable."

"Suitable, absolutely suitable!"

Elder Colby hurriedly nodded, his face blooming with a smile, where was there any trace of the high bearing expected of a Transforming Void Realm powerhouse?

"Brother Barnes, you... you’re going to the Five Elements Sect?"

Daisy Wood’s pretty face slightly changed, her lips quivering and her eyes brimming with tears, full of reluctance.

"Daisy, if you’re willing, come with me to the Five Elements Sect... I think Elder Colby wouldn’t object to that, right?"

Wyatt Barnes gazed deeply at Elder Colby as he spoke.

"Of course not!"

Elder Colby hastily replied, having recognized Wyatt Barnes’ character and being filled with interest in this young man possessing monstrous talent. He was eager to bring him back to the Five Elements Sect, to bring him back to Niklaus Woodson.

Even though Wyatt’s request might seem excessive to some, it was simply not the same for someone with Wyatt’s exceptional martial prowess; naturally, different rules applied.

"I... I can join the Five Elements Sect?"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Daisy Wood, was momentarily stunned. When she heard Elder Colby’s response, her face was frozen, filled with disbelief.

"Elder Colby, can my daughter truly join the Five Elements Sect?"

Noah Wood likewise was astonished upon hearing Elder Colby’s reply, swallowing hard, he asked incredulously.
