CHAPTER 2039: CHAPTER 2039: WYATT BARNES’ DECISION

"Absolutely!"

In response to Paisley Flores’ repeated inquiries, Wyatt Barnes replied in an icy tone, resolute and unyielding.

His cold voice reverberated, captivating the heart and seemingly causing the surrounding air to drop several degrees in temperature.

Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ unwavering response, Paisley Flores, though still doubtful, found a familiar feeling in the young man’s gaze.

Back then, when she took her sister away from the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land,

the young man’s gaze who blocked her way was no different from the one before her now.

In her mind, the two overlapped without any sense of discord.

"How is it possible for you to have such power?"

Paisley Flores gasped, still finding it hard to believe, yet realizing she had no choice but to accept what she couldn’t deny.

Because Wyatt Barnes stood right in front of her, with a power that had already surpassed her own.

"How I obtained this power is none of your concern... I told you, I’m here to see Keer and her daughter, not you. Where are they now?"

Wyatt Barnes eventually asked the timely question.

"Since you didn’t come to see me, why not go directly to them?"

Paisley Flores asked.

At this moment, Paisley Flores hadn’t realized that when she spoke with Wyatt Barnes again, her tone softened, no longer as overbearing as before.

It seemed she was either intimidated by the power Wyatt Barnes displayed or moved by his long journey to find her sister at the Fire Worship Sect.

However, one thing was certain.

The hatred Paisley Flores once held towards Wyatt Barnes suddenly gave way to a thought that emerged from her heart, feeling that Wyatt Barnes was indeed a worthy match for her sister.

It should be known that, in the past, she considered Wyatt Barnes a "toad," believing from the bottom of her heart that he wasn’t worthy of her sister.

Now, after witnessing Wyatt Barnes’ power, a shift in her mindset occurred, one so subtle she herself hadn’t noticed it.

"Do you think that if I just say I want to see Keer and her daughter, the elders of the Enforcement Hall would allow it?"

Wyatt Barnes sneered.

Paisley Flores, hearing this, suddenly realized the truth.

Her sister was different from her.

Her sister had committed a grave offense against the Fire Worship Sect, labeling her as a highly sensitive individual within the sect... Not even those ’Golden Flame Elders’ of the Fire Worship Sect could easily meet her sister, let alone Wyatt Barnes.

"From the beginning, they weren’t imprisoned with me."

Paisley Flores sighed, "When I brought ’Luna’ back, I hid her in my residence... until she gave birth to your daughter."

Paisley Flores paused for a moment.

"Luna?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, vaguely realizing that the ’Luna’ Paisley Flores mentioned was another name for Keer.

"Luna named your daughter ’Sienna Barnes’."

Paisley Flores looked at Wyatt Barnes and said.

Sienna Barnes!

It was this statement from Paisley Flores that caused Wyatt Barnes to lose his composure, his heart suddenly trembling as if stirred by something.

Adonis Barnes was the name Jovie gave to their son.

Sienna Barnes was the name Keer gave to their daughter.

Though the names differed, they expressed the same sentiment... longing for him, ’Wyatt Barnes’!

"Since you could find your way here, I assume you’ve heard about what happened later... I concealed Luna’s situation from almost everyone, but, in the end, it was discovered by ’Emma Wenston.’ She even went to report me to the Enforcement Hall."

As ’Emma Wenston’ was mentioned, a streak of fierce cold light flashed in Paisley Flores’ eyes.

Were it not for Emma Wenston, her sister wouldn’t have been detained by the Enforcement Hall, nor would she be imprisoned by the Enforcement Hall herself!

"Because of Emma Wenston’s report, Luna and her daughter were taken by the Enforcement Hall... Meanwhile, I went to seek my master, one of the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, the ’Bo Protector’. I intended to seek my master’s help, but he said I was foolish and advised me to surrender to the Enforcement Hall."

Paisley Flores sighed, "I know my master did this for my own good... When the Sect Leader comes out in the future, and learns I surrendered, he might spare me on account of my master."

"But, regarding Luna, my master said he was powerless and could only leave it to the Sect Leader to decide!"

Paisley Flores’s complexion gradually became heavy, and by the end, her eyes showed a deep sense of worry.

"Decide? What is there to decide?"

After listening to Paisley Flores, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but scoff, "Regardless of Keer’s original unwilling presence in the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land... what does her subsequent life have to do with the Fire Worship Sect?"

"She and I fell in love, we had children together, what does that have to do with the Fire Worship Sect? What right does the Fire Worship Sect have to decide her life? To decide her life and death?"

As Wyatt Barnes spoke, his icy tone trembled slightly, clearly showing his extreme anger, as if the fury that had been suppressed in his heart for so long erupted all at once!

"I know you’re unwilling... How could I be willing either?"

Paisley Flores gave a bitter smile, "Didn’t you just ask me whether I still think bringing Luna back to the Fire Worship Sect was the right choice? Let me tell you, I still think it was the right choice!"

"Because as long as Luna was in the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, people from the Fire Worship Sect sent there could find her sooner or later!"

"However, I never expected that even if I found her, brought her back, and hid her... she would still be discovered in the end!"

At this point, a murderous intent flared again in Paisley Flores’s eyes.

And this murderous intent was clearly directed at ’Emma Wenston’.

Having vented, Wyatt Barnes’s mood also calmed considerably.

From Paisley Flores’s words, he could sense that she truly cared for Keer, though her way of caring might not align with his wishes, her intentions were kind.

"Really don’t know what you were thinking... bringing Keer back to the Fire Worship Sect and walking into a trap! Could you not have settled her outside?"

However, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t resist mocking Paisley Flores’s foolish act of bringing Keer back to the Fire Worship Sect.

"Settle her outside? Would I be at ease doing that?"

Paisley Flores said solemnly, "That is my own sister, my long-lost sister... If I don’t see her for even half a day, I would worry whether something happened to her! Also, at that time, in my opinion, the most dangerous place was also the safest place."

"Only, I never calculated that ’Emma Wenston’ was hiding in the shadows watching me, and even discovered that I had brought Luna back!"

Bringing up ’Emma Wenston’ again, the murderous intent in Paisley Flores’s eyes intensified.

Sensing Paisley Flores’s true sorrow, Wyatt Barnes refrained from blaming her further and instead changed the topic: "Do you know where Keer and her daughter are being held?"

"I don’t know."

Paisley Flores shook her head, "The Prisoner Surveillance Hall is large, with many stone cell rooms inside... Luna and her daughter are likely in one of them. Rest assured, before our Fire Worship Sect’s ’Sect Leader’ exits seclusion, the Enforcement Hall won’t harm a hair on them!"

"However, if the Sect Leader comes out of seclusion, Luna and her daughter fear..."

Here, a trace of reluctance and regret flickered in Paisley Flores’s eyes:

"If I could choose, I would rather not have taken her away from the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land... Although it seems like a mistake to me now. But then, even if she ended up being brought back by the Fire Worship Sect, it would have at least given her more time to reunite with you and her daughter."

"Now, whether the two of them will ever reunite with you is uncertain."

Without realizing it, tears rolled down Paisley Flores’s cheeks, and her words suggested that she did not believe her sister could survive.

"We will definitely reunite!"

However, Wyatt Barnes’s response was resolute: "I will definitely rescue Keer and her daughter before your Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader comes out of seclusion! If anything happens to Keer and her daughter because of the Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader..."

"In the future, not only will I tear him apart, but I will personally destroy the foundation of the Fire Worship Sect... ensuring its eternal disappearance from the Martial Dao Sacred Land, becoming part of history!"

As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes’s tone grew colder, seemingly echoing from an ice cave, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Previously, if Paisley Flores heard Wyatt Barnes say this, she would have thought he was overestimating himself.

But now, seeing the transformation of Wyatt Barnes’s abilities over the years, she had no doubt about his claims.

Wyatt Barnes had that potential!

"Perhaps, if your talent is revealed... even the Sect Leader would hesitate to act against Luna! But the precondition is that you must show the ’potential’ that would make the entire Fire Worship Sect wary!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes, Paisley Flores’s eyes lit up, and she spoke excitedly.

"Of course, you mustn’t stay in the Fire Worship Sect; they mustn’t find you... otherwise, if they extinguish you as a threat in the cradle, the Sect Leader will have no more qualms."

Paisley Flores finished in one breath.

Her words served as a reminder to Wyatt Barnes, prompting his desire to showcase his ’potential’ within the Fire Worship Sect!

"It seems that after leaving the Enforcement Hall, I should leave the Fire Worship Sect immediately... Once I enhance my innate spiritual root to a ’Purple Color Root’ and return, showcasing it will surely shock the entire Fire Worship Sect, as well as the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land Upper Domain!"

With the decision made in his heart, Wyatt Barnes continued:

"As long as the Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader does not come out of seclusion before then, I will have the chance to use my ’potential’ to make the Fire Worship Sect hesitate to harm Keer and her daughter... As long as they can’t eliminate me before my potential is realized, they wouldn’t dare harm Keer and her daughter for a day!"
