Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1648 Attitude Shift
Chapter 1648: Chapter 1648 Attitude Shift
"Take me to see Julia?"
Hearing the City Lord of Green Wave City, Wyatt Barnes was momentarily stunned, then he understood, considering Karina Hanson’s current situation.
It seemed likely that things were as he guessed.
Karina Hanson was most probably under house arrest.
"Thank you, City Lord."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, expressing his gratitude to the City Lord of Green Wave City.
"If you are truly the young lady’s friend, then you are a guest of our Hanson House in Green Wave City, and of course, I cannot treat you poorly."
The City Lord of Green Wave City said.
And the meaning behind his words was clear, everything was for the sake of Karina Hanson.
If Wyatt Barnes wasn’t Karina Hanson’s friend, he wouldn’t bother with him.
Actually, this was understandable.
As the City Lord of Green Wave City and the person in charge of the Green Wave City’s branch of Hanson House, he himself was also a highly respected elder within Hanson House. With Hanson House as his backing, and coupled with his not inconsiderable strength, naturally, he was haughty and dismissive of ordinary people.
The fact that he treated Wyatt Barnes politely was mostly out of regard for his family’s young lady, ’Karina Hanson’.
If he confirmed that Karina Hanson did not have such a friend, he would no longer be so polite, and not only would he be impolite, but he might also punish Wyatt Barnes.
The thoughts of the City Lord of Green Wave City, Wyatt Barnes could guess somewhat, but he was not worried.
Because he indeed knew the young lady of Hanson House in Green Wave City; she was Karina Hanson, who used to follow alongside him, calling out ’Brother Leandro’ on the left, and ’Brother Leandro’ on the right.
"City Lord, could you have your people pass on a message to Julia for me?"
Although Wyatt Barnes believed that upon hearing the name ’Leandro’, Karina Hanson would think of him immediately.
But just in case, he decided to prepare thoroughly.
"Of course."
The City Lord of Green Wave City nodded in agreement, as he saw this as a minor matter.
"Have your people tell Julia, ’Brother Leandro is here’. "
Wyatt Barnes said.
Brother Leandro?
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, the City Lord of Green Wave City squinted slightly.
This form of address somewhat startled him.
After all, if they weren’t close, one generally wouldn’t address someone this way.
And according to what this young man named ’Leandro’ said, the young lady of their Hanson House in Green Wave City actually called him ’Brother Leandro’?
In just that instant, his attitude changed dramatically.
"Elder Brother Ling Tian, let me first take you to rest."
At this moment, when greeting Wyatt Barnes once again, the tone of the City Lord of Green Wave City became much warmer, as if standing before him was not a stranger but an old acquaintance he had known for many years.
The change in the City Lord of Green Wave City’s attitude was within Wyatt Barnes’ expectations, so he wasn’t surprised.
After leaving the main hall, the City Lord of Green Wave City introduced himself, "My name is Colin Hanson, and I am the External Affairs Elder of Hanson House in Green Wave City, usually responsible for all the affairs of Green Wave City... If Elder Brother Ling Tian does not mind, you can call me ’Big Brother’, calling me ’City Lord’ sounds a bit distant."
If he were an ordinary martial artist who had not broken through to the Saint Realm, Colin Hanson wouldn’t have treated him as a brother.
Even if his talent was high, not lower than Wyatt Barnes’.
Colin Hanson’s willingness to lower his position and treat Wyatt Barnes as a brother was mostly because of the young lady of their Hanson House, Karina Hanson.
In Hanson House, although he was an elder with a not-so-low status, compared to Karina Hanson, there was quite a gap.
Most importantly, he deeply respected the House Master of their Hanson House, Karina Hanson’s father, because when he was young, the House Master saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
Because of this, he also greatly respected Karina Hanson, the House Master’s daughter.
"Brother Colin."
Wyatt Barnes had always reciprocated courtesy with others, and so far, Colin Hanson had left a good impression on him.
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ address, Colin Hanson immediately beamed with a broad smile.
Actually, when Wyatt Barnes had just asked him to pass a message to Karina Hanson, he was already nearly certain that Wyatt Barnes was Karina Hanson’s friend, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to act presumptuously at the City Lord’s mansion of Green Wave City, unless he had a death wish.
However, the stern-faced young man in the purple robe before him didn’t look like someone with a death wish at all.
More importantly, the young lady of their Hanson House in Green Wave City seemed to have a good relationship with this person, so his attitude changed dramatically in that instant as well.
"Brother Colin, although I just arrived in Green Wave City, I’ve heard about the Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion wanting to marry Julia, this matter..."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Colin Hanson, and before he finished his sentence, he noticed Colin Hanson’s expression darkening.
"The Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion is nothing but a toad lusting after a swan! He is a notorious playboy and is not worthy of the Eldest Miss at all."
Colin Hanson spoke in a solemn voice, clearly very dissatisfied with this marriage arrangement.
His life was saved by the House Master of the Green Wave Hanson House, so naturally, he sided with Karina Hanson on this matter.
"But I heard that this Sky-scraping Mansion is a fourth-rate power... In this case, it might be difficult for the Green Wave Hanson House to refuse, right?"
Wyatt Barnes asked.
"It’s indeed hard to refuse."
Colin nodded, took a deep breath, and continued, "Right now, regarding this matter, our Green Wave Hanson House is divided into two major factions... One faction, led by the House Master, is unwilling to agree to this marriage. The other faction, headed by the Eldest Elder, wants the Eldest Miss to agree to the marriage to avoid offending the Sky-scraping Mansion."
"Which side is prevailing now?"
Wyatt frowned and asked.
"The Eldest Elder’s side."
Colin’s eyes flashed with anger as he said in a deep voice, "Honestly, I never noticed there were so many cowards in our Green Wave Hanson House before... In the face of Sky-scraping Mansion, they all turn cowardly, deeply afraid that the people of Sky-scraping Mansion will kill them. Using a young girl’s lifetime happiness to trade for their own peace, they don’t even feel ashamed!"
Hearing Colin’s words, Wyatt realized the situation was dire.
"Brother Leandro, can you tell me about the situation in Green Wave Hanson House?"
Wyatt asked.
"Elder Brother Ling Tian, it’s not that I don’t trust you... It’s just that it involves some secrets of our Green Wave Hanson House, and before verifying your identity with the Eldest Miss, I can’t reveal too much to you."
Colin apologized to Wyatt, "This way, once your identity is confirmed with the Eldest Miss, I will lay everything about our Green Wave Hanson House on the table and explain clearly to you... How does that sound?"
"Brother Leandro, there’s no need to feel sorry, this is only natural, I can understand."
Wyatt understood Colin’s concerns, so he didn’t continue to probe further.
With Colin’s arrangement, Wyatt stayed at the City Lord’s mansion in Green Wave City, where Colin arranged a spacious courtyard for him. The courtyard had a wide area to practice martial arts, as well as several vacant rooms.
The rooms were spotless, indicating regular cleaning by someone.
After bidding farewell to Wyatt, Colin left, as he had other matters to attend to.
Although Colin didn’t find Wyatt’s identity suspicious, just to be safe, he sent someone to the residence of Green Wave Hanson House to find the Eldest Miss ’Karina Hanson’ to confirm.
After Colin left, Wyatt returned to his room, closed the door, and entered the third level of the Jewel Tower to continue his training.
"If only I could break through to the ’Saint Realm’... maybe I could help Julia."
Thinking about Karina Hanson’s current predicament, Wyatt felt a bit heavy-hearted.
In his eyes, Julia was like his sister, someone he needed to protect and care for, no different from a real sister.
Concerning Julia’s happiness, even he was anxious.
"Although Julia’s father is the House Master of Green Wave Hanson House, being a fifth-rate power, it’s naturally impossible for the House Master to have the final say! Unless Julia’s father’s strength is overwhelmingly dominant, suppressing everyone in Green Wave Hanson House. But as it stands, Julia’s father’s strength is clearly not at that level yet."
Thinking about what Colin just said, Wyatt’s heart grew heavier, as if a large stone was pressing down on it.
Taking a deep breath, Wyatt forced himself to calm down and devoted himself entirely to his training.
Meanwhile, as Wyatt was training, a person also departed from the City Lord’s mansion in Green Wave City.
After leaving the City Lord’s mansion, this person left Green Wave City and headed north, spending a day and night to reach a misty mountain range.
Beyond the mountain range was the location of Green Wave Hanson House’s residence.
He was from the City Lord’s mansion of Green Wave City and also a member of Green Wave Hanson House, so he faced no obstruction along the way, reaching the central area of Green Wave Hanson House’s residence effortlessly.
"I am the deputy commander of the guards at the City Lord’s mansion of Green Wave City, here on business for the Eldest Miss."
Standing outside the residence of the Eldest Miss ’Karina Hanson’ of the Green Wave Hanson House, the burly man in armor, dusty from travel, spoke to the two maids at the entrance.
Immediately, one maid went inside to report.
"The Young Miss invites you in."
Soon, the maid came out again and led the burly man inside.
In the backyard of the residence, there was a vast lake, with a pavilion on one side of it.
Sitting alone on one side of the pavilion was a woman of unmatched beauty, quietly leaning there, seemingly making everything around her lose its color.
However, between her brows, there was a trace of melancholy, as she stared at the lake, lost in thought.
"Young Miss."
It wasn’t until the maid spoke that the woman snapped out of it and looked at the burly man beside the maid, forcing a smile and asked, "Is it Uncle Zaiden who needs to see me?"
The man was from the City Lord’s mansion of Green Wave City, and the only person she knew well there was Colin Hanson, who was also the City Lord.
"Yes, Eldest Miss."
The burly man replied respectfully.
