Chapter 849: Furious Esteban Walton
Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Furious Esteban Walton
"Alright."
Wyatt Barnes quite appreciated Adan Walton’s straightforwardness and generosity, and directly accepted the offer.
"Headmaster Wood, please relay this matter to Daisy for me... Additionally, I might need to impose on the Wood Family for a little while longer when I return."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Noah Wood with a smile and said, "This time, Headmaster Wood... surely you won’t be asking me to leave the Wood Family again, right?"
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the crowd around them were all petrified.
The Headmaster of the Wood Family, Noah Wood, had once told Wyatt Barnes to leave the Wood Family?
"Has this Noah Wood gone mad?"
"Exactly! Such a guest is hard to come by, and yet he told him to leave the Wood Family?"
...
Instantly, many cast strange glances at Noah Wood.
They had never imagined that the Headmaster of the Wood Family, Noah Wood, had treated Wyatt Barnes in such a manner before, and thankfully Wyatt Barnes bore no grudges. Otherwise, would the Wood Family still exist?
"Not at all! Of course not!"
Noah Wood hurriedly forced a smile and shook his head. If he had known Wyatt Barnes had such formidable strength, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would not have dared to treat Wyatt Barnes in that way.
Reflecting on it now still gave him chills.
Were it not for his daughter being so close to Wyatt Barnes, he feared he would have been doomed.
"Brother Ling Tian, if you don’t mind, from now on you can live with our Walton Family for as long as you wish. How about that?"
When he heard that Wyatt Barnes would be staying in ’Drifting Cloud Town’ for a while longer, Adan Walton’s eyes lit up and he took the initiative to invite him.
Hearing Adan Walton’s invitation, Noah Wood’s expression darkened, but he did not dare to say anything.
The decision of where Wyatt Barnes would go was not his to make.
If Wyatt Barnes truly wished to stay at the Walton Family, he had no way to stop it.
Now, he just hoped that Wyatt Barnes would consider his daughter’s friendship and return to stay with the Wood Family for a while longer. If that happened, the status of the Wood Family in ’Drifting Cloud Town’ would surely soar.
As the head of a family, he had many things to consider.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Family Head Walton. However, the Wood Family’s daughter is a good friend of mine, and I have already promised her that as long as I am in ’Drifting Cloud Town’, I will stay with the Wood Family."
Wyatt Barnes said to Adan Walton.
"That’s really too bad..."
Adan Walton sighed, then called out, "Brother Ling Tian, please."
Watching Wyatt Barnes dive down with Adan Walton to enter the Walton Family estate, Esteban Walton, walking among the Walton Family members, had an even gloomier look on his face.
"Wyatt Barnes... Wyatt Barnes... If you dare, just keep staying in ’Drifting Cloud Town’! When my older brother comes back, I will see to it that his master teaches you a lesson!"
Esteban Walton’s face was cold, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and his lips curled into a chilling smile.
Noah Wood heaved a sigh of relief, his face breaking into a joyous smile.
"Headmaster Wood, congratulations! From now on, your Wood Family will be nothing like it was before."
Many people offered their congratulations.
"Headmaster Wood, sorry about last time, we really needed that batch of goods urgently... How about this, we will prepare another batch of goods in a while and give them to the Wood Family at half price?"
Another person spoke to Noah Wood with a sycophantic smile.
"Elder Cruz, if you give it to us at half price, won’t your company suffer a huge loss? The cost of that batch of goods exceeds half price, doesn’t it?"
Noah Wood exclaimed, looking at the speaker in surprise.
"Heh heh... Headmaster Wood, let’s not beat around the bush, even if I give you that batch of goods for free, it doesn’t matter! However, you need to introduce me to that little brother."
The latter said with a heh-heh laugh.
...
Inside the grand hall of the Walton Family estate,
Wyatt Barnes sat at the head of the table, with the Family Head of the Walton Family, ’Adan Walton’, and the Third Elder ’Rhys Walton’ seated below.
"Brother Ling Tian, may I ask where you come from?" Adan Walton asked curiously.
"Family Head Walton, didn’t I tell you that even if I told you about my origins you wouldn’t know of it?" Wyatt Barnes shook his head and then added, "But since you really want to know, I’ll tell you... I come from the Great Turdo Dynasty."
The Great Turdo Dynasty?
Adan Walton and Rhys Walton exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes, as it was clear that neither had heard of such a place.
Adan Walton smiled awkwardly, then asked again, "Then could you tell me, Brother Ling Tian, what is your relationship with the Wood Family?"
Adan Walton still felt somewhat uncomfortable about Wyatt Barnes coming to make trouble on behalf of the Wood Family that day. Where did this little monster come from, and why did he choose to help the Wood Family?
"I owe the Wood Family’s daughter a favor," Wyatt Barnes answered succinctly, and then added, "A favor that cannot be repaid in a lifetime!"
At first, when Wyatt Barnes mentioned owing ’a favor’ to the Wood Family’s daughter, Adan Walton breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Wyatt Barnes had already repaid his debt to the Wood Family with his actions.
However, Wyatt Barnes’s subsequent remark made Adan Walton smile wryly, "That Miss Wood is truly fortunate to have someone like Brother Ling Tian owe her such a big favor."
"Fortunate may not be the word."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled gently, "She’s very kind... If it weren’t for her, I might very well be dead by now."
Wyatt Barnes’s words shocked both Adan Walton and Rhys Walton.
Listening to what Wyatt Barnes said, did that Miss Wood actually save his life?
No wonder he says he can’t repay her in this lifetime!
It turns out to be a lifesaving grace!
"Brother Ling Tian, may I ask how did Miss Wood save you?"
Rhys Walton asked curiously.
Adan Walton looked towards Wyatt Barnes as well; he was obviously curious. He knew of that Miss Wood, a girl who hadn’t even entered the ’Peep Naught Realm’.
Logically, with such strength, she couldn’t possibly be of any help to Wyatt Barnes, let alone save him.
"Some time ago, while I was cultivating, I mistakenly channeled the Origin Force and fell into devilment... Later, I was found unconscious outside Drifting Cloud Town, and it was she who took me back to the Wood Family."
"After sleeping for a full eighteen days, I only woke up today. If it hadn’t been for her, I might have been eaten by those wild animals, Fierce Beasts, or even Demon Beasts."
When Wyatt Barnes mentioned Daisy Wood, a warm smile appeared on his face. That kind-hearted young girl, he now truly regarded her as his own sister.
In fact, after waking up today, he still felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, he met such a kind-hearted girl. If it had been someone else with ill intentions, just for the ’Storage Ring’ on his hand, they might have killed him.
The Storage Ring on his hand had been bound by his blood. Unless he actively unbound it or he died,
no one else could rebind that Storage Ring.
Exactly for this reason, he felt profound gratitude towards that kind-hearted girl, Daisy Wood.
Adan Walton and Rhys Walton exchanged wry smiles.
They had never imagined the full story to be like this.
They asked themselves if they had encountered an unconscious Wyatt Barnes and didn’t recognize him, they would probably have taken his ’Storage Ring’ and killed him.
After all, it was easy fortune coming their way.
"Miss Wood is really kind-hearted... that little brute of mine truly does not deserve her," Adan Walton sighed.
Hearing Adan Walton mention his mischievous son, Wyatt Barnes seemed to recall something, his expression slightly darkened, "Family Head Walton, I respect you as a person; but as for how you teach your son, I beg to differ... I’ve heard that your son almost does nothing but evil in Drifting Cloud Town. There have been numerous respectable young ladies who, because of him, have committed suicide or mutilated themselves?"
As he spoke, a strong killing intent emanated from Wyatt Barnes.
He didn’t consider himself a Sage and had no intention of universally saving all beings, but the actions of that profligate son of the Walton Family still crossed his line.
"Brother Ling Tian, you are right, it’s my failure in parenting," Adan Walton gave a bitter smile. He was well aware of his son’s deeds, having tried to educate him countless times and breaking who knows how many canes in the process.
But his son never repented, and gradually, he too had grown tired of trying to discipline him.
What else could he do?
Personally kill his own son?
"Family Head Walton, I shall let bygones be bygones out of respect for you ... but from now on, if I hear that your son commits any more acts that provoke both heaven and man, then you can’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Having said this, Wyatt Barnes abruptly stood up. At this moment, he had no intention of staying at the Walton Family’s place any longer.
"Family Head Walton, Third Elder, I’ll take my leave!"
Wyatt Barnes greeted Adan Walton and Rhys Walton before promptly leaving.
By the time Adan Walton and Rhys Walton reacted, Wyatt Barnes had already left the Walton Family’s great hall and disappeared from their sight.
"Hahaha..."
Surprisingly, after Wyatt Barnes left, Adan Walton burst into laughter.
"Family Head, what is..."
Rhys Walton was dumbfounded. The man’s own son had been threatened with death, and he was still able to laugh?
"From now on, I’d like to see that little brute dare to run amok!"
Adan Walton muttered to himself before he left the great hall, heading directly to find his younger son.
His son had been so brazen all these years, merely relying on the Walton Family’s influence. In Drifting Cloud Town, the Walton Family was the leading clan; no one dared to provoke the Walton Family.
Now, there was someone unafraid of the Walton Family, threatening his son, giving him a glimmer of hope.
He couldn’t manage his son, but now, finally, someone could.
Storming into the courtyard where Esteban Walton lived, he railed at the freshly returned Esteban, who hadn’t even warmed his seat, and conveyed to him Wyatt Barnes’s words.
Before Esteban Walton could recover, Adan Walton briskly left, feeling refreshed.
"Wyatt Barnes!"
Esteban Walton’s face was extremely ugly as he raised his hand to smash the only stone table in the courtyard to pieces, gritting his teeth, "Not only did you ruin my chance with Daisy, but you dare to meddle in my affairs?!"
"I will make you die! Definitely!!"
Esteban Walton’s eyes were filled with a cold and chilling light, his teeth gritted with hatred.
At the Wood Family estate.
"Young Master Barnes, the Family Head and Elders have been waiting for a long time ... please, come inside."
As soon as Wyatt Barnes arrived at the gate, a Wood Family disciple greeted him with utmost respect and led him in.
"Thank you, Young Master Barnes."
Just as he entered, Wyatt Barnes heard a series of thunderously loud voices. Looking up, he saw Noah Wood leading a group of people bowing to him in unison to express their thanks.
Daisy Wood was among them, and at this moment, Daisy, with her previously furrowed brows now fully relaxed, had regained her lively nature.
