Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1550: Being Honest with Each Other
Chapter 1550: Chapter 1550: Being Honest with Each Other
Trevor Baillie, no matter what, is a three-star Saint Markings master, crucial to the Moon Radiance Sect.
Quinton Jimenez knew that even if he intervened, he would be stopped by Remy Mitchell, and it would also make Remy Mitchell displeased, so he held back from taking action.
If he were alone, with his ’Saint Realm’ cultivation, he naturally wouldn’t need to fear Remy Mitchell.
However, he still had many descendants in the Moon Radiance Sect, and if he wanted them to live well in the future, he couldn’t afford to overly offend Remy Mitchell. Everything needed to be done in moderation.
Just like now, Remy Mitchell had explained to this extent, and if he still didn’t get the hint, he would be deliberately going against Remy Mitchell.
"Elder Baillie, I am deeply sorry for the trouble caused to you today."
After Quinton Jimenez left, Remy Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to Trevor Baillie with a wry smile.
"Sect Leader, this matter has nothing to do with you; there is no need for you to apologize."
Trevor Baillie shook his head. Naturally, he wouldn’t vent his anger towards Quinton Jimenez upon the Sect Leader, who had always treated him well.
If it weren’t for this, he would have long been unable to resist the allure from other forces and left the Moon Radiance Sect.
"In any case, I do bear some responsibility for this... How about this, I heard that your junior brother has many relatives and friends who have joined the sect, I’ll give each of them a million merit points as a token of apology to you, Elder Baillie."
Remy Mitchell was a shrewd person, knowing that if he directly compensated Trevor Baillie, it would be rejected, so he claimed he would give merit points to Taoi Romero and others.
And the facts proved that this was the right approach.
"In that case, many thanks to the Sect Leader."
Although Trevor Baillie was reluctant to accept Remy Mitchell’s compensation, this compensation concerned his junior brother’s relatives and friends. Given the substantial merit points, it was indeed quite useful for his junior brother’s relatives and friends, so he didn’t refuse.
"Elder Baillie, you’re too kind."
Seeing Trevor Baillie tacitly accept the compensation, Remy Mitchell finally breathed a sigh of relief and took his leave.
And as the Sect Leader of the Moon Radiance Sect, Remy Mitchell’s promises were as good as gold. In less than half a day, an Inner Sect elder came to Trevor Baillie’s residence to transfer the merit points to Taoi Romero and others.
One million merit points each!
Now, Taoi Romero and his group were no longer newcomers to the Moon Radiance Sect, and they naturally understood what merit points meant. It was precisely because of this understanding that they were all dumbfounded.
"These merit points are from the Sect Leader?"
Only after the Inner Sect elder left did Taoi Romero and the others withdraw their gaze from the crystal cards in their hands, exchanging glances and seeing bewilderment in each other’s eyes.
They didn’t know what had happened at all.
To them, the Sect Leader of the Moon Radiance Sect was someone high above, out of their current reach.
Yet, such a high-ranking existence inexplicably gave each of them a million merit points.
"It must have been Elder Baillie who fought for us."
Enzo Hawkins speculated.
For a moment, everyone else agreed, concluding that only Elder Baillie could have such influence.
When Wyatt Barnes learned of this matter, it was already several days later.
He had just emerged from the Jewel Tower and came to find Taoi Romero and others, wanting to see if they were adapting well to the Moon Radiance Sect. During the conversation, he learned that each of them had received a million merit points.
When he heard the merit points were from the Moon Radiance Sect Leader, he was somewhat astonished.
For a moment, he had an inkling that the matter might not be that simple.
What a joke!
One million merit points for each of Taoi Romero and his group, totaling nearly ten million merit points.
Even if the Moon Radiance Sect Leader had plenty of merit points, it was impossible to give them away like this, especially to a group of people who had only recently joined the Moon Radiance Sect.
Out of curiosity, Wyatt Barnes went to find Trevor Baillie without delay.
"Senior Brother, I heard that the Sect Leader gave Uncle Romero and the others a million merit points each... What’s going on?"
Upon seeing Trevor Baillie, Wyatt asked directly.
Seeing the confusion on Wyatt’s face, Trevor Baillie smiled faintly, "It’s nothing really, just the Sect Leader insisting on compensating me. Knowing I wouldn’t accept it directly, he came up with this method to make it impossible for me not to accept."
"The Sect Leader compensating you?"
Wyatt was even more puzzled upon hearing this, "Why would he compensate you?"
"Because of Abu Dunn."
Trevor Baillie gave Wyatt a deep look.
These past few days, Trevor Baillie had been pondering the issue repeatedly.
Was Abu Dunn’s death truly a coincidence?
Although he didn’t believe his junior brother had the power to kill Abu Dunn, it was all too coincidental.
Previously, Abu Dunn had often left the sect alone without incident.
But this time, when he was chasing after Wyatt, he had an accident and lost his life.
"Abu Dunn?"
Upon hearing Trevor Baillie’s words, Wyatt raised an eyebrow, "I think I’ve heard of him... He seems to be the mentor of that Sail Fenning I killed earlier."
Although his expression remained calm, ripples stirred in Wyatt’s heart.
"It seems that Abu Dunn also had a Soul Bead."
Wyatt thought to himself.
"These days, there have been two widespread rumors outside that you probably haven’t heard yet, Junior Brother?"
Trevor Baillie asked with a smile.
"What news?"
Wyatt Barnes truly didn’t know, as he had been secluded in training on the third level of the Jewel Tower, striving to reach the ’Peak of Entering the Saint Realm.’ Although he hadn’t completed the final breakthrough, he was already at the final ’bottleneck.’
Because Taoi Romero and others hadn’t gone out recently, they also didn’t know about those two pieces of news and thus couldn’t tell Wyatt.
Next, Trevor Baillie relayed the two pieces of news that were spreading outside to Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, "I didn’t expect so much to happen outside while I was in seclusion... Senior Brother, who do you think released these two pieces of news?"
"Is there any need to guess?"
Trevor Baillie’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing through them, as if ready to devour someone.
"Indeed, there’s no need to guess."
Wyatt Barnes chuckled.
"As for the Sect Leader’s compensation gift, it’s also related to the latter piece of news... A few days ago, the Sect Leader and Elder Quinton Jimenez came together to confirm whether Abu Dunn’s death was related to me."
At this, Trevor Baillie recounted the events from a few days ago.
"Elder Jimenez?"
Wyatt Barnes was puzzled.
"He’s a Supreme Elder of the Moon Radiance Sect, one of the few Saint Realm experts in the Moon Radiance Sect."
Trevor Baillie explained.
Saint Realm expert!
Wyatt Barnes was slightly surprised, "Could there be some connection between him and Abu Dunn?"
To have Elder Jimenez go to such lengths over Abu Dunn’s death, it was hard to believe there was no relationship between them.
"I didn’t expect Abu Dunn’s death to make Elder Jimenez apologize to me... To have a Saint Realm expert bend for him, the relationship between Abu Dunn and him is definitely not simple, probably not even limited to master and disciple."
Trevor Baillie stated with certainty.
"Maybe he’s his illegitimate son."
Wyatt Barnes said casually.
Wyatt Barnes didn’t realize that his offhand remark, almost in jest, happened to be true.
"Senior Brother, your request for Elder Jimenez to take the Thunder Punishment oath was truly ruthless... At that time, Elder Jimenez probably wished he could kill you?"
Wyatt Barnes seemed to be laughing, but he felt quite heavy-hearted inside.
The reason Trevor Baillie did that was all to protect him.
In return, he couldn’t even confess to the fact that he killed Abu Dunn in front of Trevor Baillie.
"He certainly wished he could kill me!"
Trevor Baillie coldly laughed, "Unfortunately, the Sect Leader wouldn’t let him succeed... Even if he did kill me, his days in the Moon Radiance Sect wouldn’t be good afterward. By then, not only the Sect Leader but the other Saint Realm experts in the Sect would be dissatisfied with him. He might be able to leave, but he’s not alone, unless he doesn’t care for his descendants."
Although Trevor Baillie spoke lightly, Wyatt Barnes could still sense the danger Trevor Baillie faced at the time, feeling touched yet frightened.
If Trevor Baillie really got into trouble on his account, Wyatt Barnes would never forgive himself for life.
"Senior Brother, there’s something I haven’t confessed to you."
Taking a deep breath, Wyatt Barnes told Trevor Baillie, "I was the one who killed Abu Dunn."
Boom!
Wyatt Barnes’s words struck Trevor Baillie like a bolt from the blue.
His junior brother killed Abu Dunn?
Originally, although he suspected Abu Dunn’s death was related to his junior brother, he never imagined it was this junior brother who killed Abu Dunn... He just thought his junior brother had some hidden background, able to command a strong expert to kill Abu Dunn.
Now, Wyatt Barnes’s words made him deeply realize the mistake in his previous thinking.
"Junior Brother, you... you really killed Abu Dunn?"
After a long pause, Trevor Baillie asked in disbelief.
"Senior Brother, I have no reason to lie to you... At the beginning, before I left the Sect, I deliberately spread the news that I was going back home, intending to lure Evander Mullins. Who knew, later Evander didn’t come after me, but instead, Abu Dunn came, completely unexpected."
Wyatt Barnes said, "He meant to kill me, but unfortunately, he eventually died at my hands."
"Junior Brother, you should have discussed your plan with your Senior Brother earlier... The reason Evander didn’t chase after you was because I monitored him closely after you left."
Trevor Baillie laughed bitterly, "Under my watch, how could he have the opportunity to pursue you?"
"Senior Brother, you..."
Trevor Baillie’s words left Wyatt Barnes speechless.
He realized, with Evander Mullins’s nature, how could he not have pursued him.
It turned out his senior brother had stopped Evander.
"Junior Brother, in the future, if you have any plans, discuss them with your Senior Brother... to avoid having your Senior Brother ruin your ’good deeds’ again."
Trevor Baillie sighed, emphasizing the words ’good deeds.’
"Senior Brother, I shouldn’t have kept it from you."
Although Trevor Baillie didn’t blame him, Wyatt Barnes still felt apologetic.
