Chapter 2710: Chapter 2710: One Million Top-grade Immortal Stones
"That Henrik Collins, a Daai Law Golden Immortal of the Tremblay Family... yet in front of this young man in purple, he was defeated so easily!"
"Wesson Collins, he is the first young master of the Tremblay Family, the most beloved son of the Tremblay Family’s head, and the future head of the Tremblay Family... yet this young man in purple just killed him without a second thought!"
"Who is he exactly? Is he not afraid of the Tremblay Family’s retaliation?"
...
The expressions of shock and disbelief were plain in the eyes of the onlookers as they whispered among themselves, their gaze fixed on Wyatt Barnes.
On one hand, they were shocked by the strength Wyatt Barnes displayed.
On the other hand, they were stunned by his audacity—daring to kill the first young master of the Tremblay Family, Wesson Collins, in their own city right before their eyes!
"Fortunately, the Spacewood Family’s Second Young Master didn’t make a move just now... otherwise, he and the elder behind him would have met a grisly end."
"I saw the Second Young Master of the Spacewood Family and his attendants preparing to attack... but fortunately, Wesson Collins arrived just in time to prevent them."
"So, in a way... Wesson Collins was actually the savior of Spacewood Family’s Second Young Master?"
"It does seem that way."
...
Recalling the scenes moments before, many onlookers couldn’t help but express their amazement when they glanced at Spacewood Family’s Second Young Master, ’Chase Woods’, at his stroke of luck.
"My apologies for any disrespect just now. I hope you can forgive me!"
Regaining his composure, Chase Woods gradually relaxed, bowed, and cupped his hands in apology to Wyatt Barnes, as if nothing had happened.
The elder behind him also followed suit, bowing.
If Wyatt Barnes had only killed Wesson Collins, it wouldn’t have made him act this way.
But Wyatt Barnes also killed Henrik Collins, an elder whose power was comparable to his own, making him realize that Wyatt’s strength was far superior.
It was precisely for this reason that Chase did not dare to act recklessly in front of Wyatt Barnes.
"You used me as your ’sword’... and now you think a mere apology will suffice?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Chase Woods, his eyes narrowing into slits as he asked calmly.
"Then... what would you have me do?"
Chase Woods asked anxiously, with his head bowed.
The saying goes, ’The situation is stronger than the person’; while Chase did not believe that his Spacewood Family had no one to deal with this young man in purple, the fact was their powerful members weren’t currently present, so he could only admit defeat temporarily.
"Take us to your Spacewood Family."
Wyatt Barnes cast Chase a mild glance and said, "Let’s talk on the way."
"Certainly."
Although Chase Woods didn’t understand why Wyatt Jäeger wanted to go to their Spacewood Family, since Wyatt desired it, it played right into his hands, as he thought to himself, "I was worried our Spacewood Family’s strong members wouldn’t get here in time... but since you want to seek your demise by going to our Spacewood Family, I shall indulge you!"
As this thought crossed his mind, a cold, sinister glint flashed through Chase’s eyes as he kept his head down.
The next moment, under the gaze of the bystanders, Wyatt Barnes, accompanied by Leilany, followed Chase Woods and the elder behind him toward the Spacewood Family’s direction.
Everywhere they passed, bystanders made way.
In the blink of an eye, Wyatt and his group vanished from the sight of the onlookers.
It was only at this moment that the crowd collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and people began to discuss candidly without much concern:
"Why did that young man in purple go back to the Spacewood Family with the Second Young Master?"
"From his words, it seems he aims to settle things with the Second Young Master... but why would he want the Second Young Master to take him to the family all of a sudden? Does he really think he can name his price even at the family estate?"
"Isn’t going to the Spacewood Family akin to seeking death? Although he showcased some strength earlier, threatening the Spacewood Family is likely beyond his capability."
"The Spacewood Family... they’re a powerful clan with two ’Heavenly Dao Daai Law Golden Immortals’ overseeing them!"
...
In the midst of discussions, many bystanders couldn’t quite fathom it:
Why would that young man in purple voluntarily bring up going to the Spacewood Family?
Isn’t this akin to a lamb entering a tiger’s den?
"Do you think... there’s a possibility: both the young man in purple and the woman with him were actually hired by the Spacewood Family?"
Just then, a shrewd-looking bystander speculated and guessed, "And everything just now was actually a setup aimed to eliminate the Tremblay Family’s first young master!"
"Earlier, they went to great lengths to create the illusion of hostility between them, perhaps to mislead the dubiously suspicious eyes of the Tremblay Family... now, maybe they’re both heading to the Spacewood Family to collect their reward before leaving our city silently."
"As long as they leave, even if the Tremblay Family suspects they were hired by the Spacewood Family, there will be no evidence... the Tremblay Family wouldn’t outright confront the Spacewood Family without solid proof!"
The bystander’s words, by the time he finished, won the agreement of the majority.
"As I thought... the Second Young Master of the Spacewood Family may be known as a spendthrift, but it shouldn’t reach the extent of spending twenty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones just to make a woman lift her veil."
"Possible! Although he’s been a wastrel, he never did anything so extravagant in all the ways he’s squandered."
"Spending twenty thousand top-grade Immortal Stones just for a woman to lift her veil... indeed absurd."
...
In their exchanges, the crowd further leaned towards believing that by ten to ninety-nine percent, the earlier speculation was correct:
The man and woman were hired by the Spacewood Family.
It’s fortunate that the Second Young Master of the Spacewood Family, ’Qi You’, is not here. Otherwise, upon hearing what these people have said, he would surely be infuriated.
This is definitely the most unjust situation the Spacewood Family has ever faced!
If the man and woman behind him were really hired by the Spacewood Family, would he be feeling this uneasy while bringing them back to the family now?
"What is it that you want, sir?"
As he led the way back to the Spacewood Family residence, Qi You was the first to break the silent atmosphere. He slowly turned his head and asked Wyatt Barnes with a face full of apprehension.
"I want a detailed map covering the entire Yunyuan Immortal Kingdom and surrounding kingdoms..."
As Wyatt Barnes spoke, Qi You’s expression remained calm.
Because, to him, it’s just a trivial matter.
In fact, such a map can be found within their Spacewood Family.
"Additionally, your Spacewood Family should provide me with one million top-grade immortal stones."
Wyatt Barnes continued.
When Qi You heard this, his previously calm expression completely changed.
One million top-grade immortal stones!
Although their Spacewood Family could afford it, it’s still not a small amount.
Even the Spacewood Family elder trailing behind Qi You’s expression slightly changed. Although he had already guessed that this purple-robed youth might extort immortal stones, he didn’t expect him to demand so much.
It’s one million top-grade immortal stones!
Is he that confident he can take it?
"I can’t decide this... I’ll have to ask my father once we return to the Spacewood Family."
Qi You took a deep breath and said.
Wyatt Barnes nodded indifferently, "No problem, I’ll go back to the Spacewood Family with you... However, once we arrive, I’ll only give you one hour. If the million top-grade immortal stones aren’t in my hands by then, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
Saying this, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze towards Qi You suddenly sharpened, emitting a chilling light that made Qi You’s heart tremble involuntarily. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Wyatt Barnes’s eyes.
"Second Young Master... This purple-robed youth demands one million top-grade immortal stones right from the start, he surely has a big appetite!"
The Spacewood Family elder behind Qi You used telepathy to communicate with him.
"He certainly has a big appetite... But he has to live long enough to digest it!"
Qi You replied coldly through telepathy.
"I don’t think he seems like an impulsive person... And the ’bottom line’ of our Spacewood Family in Qi Lv City isn’t really a secret. He probably knows our Spacewood Family’s bottom line well."
The Spacewood Family elder continued through telepathy.
"You mean... despite knowing our Spacewood Family’s strength, he still dares to follow me back and extort us because he doesn’t fear us?"
Qi You’s tone became somewhat heavy.
"That’s more or less what I mean."
The Spacewood Family elder said, "Either he’s hiding his strength... Or his ’background’ isn’t simple."
"No matter whether he’s hiding his strength or who he is... Once we return to the Spacewood Family, let my father test him. If necessary, have the Elder Ancestor and my father test him together!"
Qi You said.
In the Spacewood Family, there are two ’Heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals’ presiding, and these two Heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals are the Spacewood Family’s strongest individuals.
One of them is the current head of the Spacewood Family, who is also Qi You’s father.
The other is the ’Elder Ancestor’ that Qi You mentioned, an elder of the Spacewood Family.
Although both are Heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals, the Elder Ancestor of the Spacewood Family is more powerful than the head of the Spacewood Family!
Soon, led by the two, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany arrived at the Spacewood Family.
"Wyatt Barnes, why are we following them? I don’t like them and don’t want to stay with them."
Once entering the gates of the Spacewood Family, Leilany transmitted to Wyatt Barnes, somewhat displeased.
"We followed them here to get immortal stones... The strange and fun things I bought for you earlier in the city were all purchased with immortal stones. When immortal stones are used, they eventually run out."
"So, we’re here to get more... Once they give us the stones, we can go buy even more strange and fun things."
Wyatt Barnes spoke to Leilany as if coaxing a child.
"Wow!"
After hearing Wyatt Barnes, Leilany’s eyes brightened, then said, "In that case, let’s make them give us all the immortal stones they have, including those in their family... all of them!"
"If they don’t give them... I’ll kill them!"
Saying this, Leilany’s eyes again showed a chilling intent to kill.
Fortunately, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany were communicating via telepathy, otherwise Qi You and the elder would surely be shocked speechless by Leilany’s words.
