Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: Gagnon Family’s Third Young Master
The youth in purple was, of course, ’Wyatt Barnes’.
As for the middle-aged man standing behind Wyatt Barnes, it was ’Fill Bear’.
When Dion Gagnon uttered those words and fixed his gaze on Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear, everyone else’s eyes followed suit and landed on the two of them.
Soon, people standing near Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear began to distance themselves, as if deeply afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.
Before long, the spot where Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear stood was utterly deserted.
Other than the floating ice coffin beside Wyatt Barnes, only Finley Yellow was standing there, although his complexion didn’t look too good either.
He wanted to leave, but considering he knew Wyatt Barnes, it seed sowhat inappropriate to do so.
As Finley Yellow hesitated, Dion Gagnon’s gaze fell upon him and he asked indifferently, "Are you with them?"
Once Dion Gagnon had spoken, Finley Yellow’s complexion greatly changed, and he hurriedly waved his hands saying, "No... No! I don’t know them, I don’t know them."
In a panic, Finley Yellow quickly moved away from Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear as if running from a plague.
Finley Yellow’s words clearly reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears.
However, Wyatt Barnes didn’t mind.
Putting aside the fact that his acquaintance with Finley Yellow was a brief one, even if Finley Yellow were his friend, he had the right to make his own choices, which couldn’t be forced.
In this regard, he was very open-minded.
At this mont, the large space was left with only Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear standing there.
To be precise, there were three people.
There was also Winnie Roro, lying inside the ’ice coffin’ floating beside Wyatt Barnes.
"You two, with such poor character... Our Gagnon Family does not welco you! Your qualification for today’s alchemy competition has been revoked," Dion Gagnon said to Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear, his tone casual yet undeniable.
His words carried an air of unquestionable authority.
It was as if he were the ’judge’ who controlled life and death, his re statent sentencing Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear to a fate from which they couldn’t escape.
Standing to the side, Zen Gagnon slightly furrowed his brow.
He could clearly see what was happening; it was nothing more than Dion Gagnon intentionally supressing the young man in purple and the people with him.
As for the reason.
He had just noticed Dion Gagnon exchanging aningful glances with soone attending the alchemy competition—the middle-aged man in green seed familiar, as if he had seen him sowhere before.
"That’s right! He visited our Gagnon Family before; he’s Dion Gagnon’s cousin."
Soon, Zen Gagnon finally rembered and could almost confirm that Dion Gagnon was abusing his power for personal gain.
Nevertheless, even so, although he was dissatisfied, he still didn’t plan to intervene and stop Dion Gagnon’s actions.
No matter what.
The young man in purple and the people with him were strangers to him.
And Dion Gagnon, after all, was still an elder of the Gagnon Family.
He couldn’t possibly offend the latter for the sake of the forr.
So, he chose to remain silent.
"Poor character?" Wyatt Barnes suddenly laughed, his laugh bright and radiant, leading everyone except for Fill Bear to think he had gone mad.
"Keep laughing... You won’t be laughing for much longer," including the middle-aged man in green, the three middle-aged n who had been injured by Wyatt Barnes outside of the Northumberland Gagnon Family looked at Wyatt Barnes with a mocking smile.
In their eyes.
Since one of the two chief judges of today’s alchemy competition had already announced revoking the young man in purple’s qualification, he was dood to be kicked out.
"Didn’t you hear what I said?" Dion Gagnon, seeing that Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear had not reacted to his words, felt his authority challenged. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he asked in a deep voice.
"Elder Dion Gagnon, what you are doing is against the rules,"
However, instead of a response or departure from Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear, Dion Gagnon was t with a voice of righteous indignation.
"Elder Zen Gagnon, what do you an by this?" Dion Gagnon turned to look at Zen Gagnon next to him, his expression growing darker.
The one who questioned him was ’Zen Gagnon’.
Zen Gagnon’s recent changes in expression had all been seen by Dion Gagnon, who knew Zen Gagnon had no intention of interfering.
Just monts ago, Dion Gagnon thought Zen Gagnon was being sensibly nonintrusive, yet unexpectedly, Zen Gagnon stepped in.
Although the turn of events was sowhat abrupt, Dion Gagnon didn’t think too much of it—only feeling that Zen Gagnon publicly refuting him was a deliberate move to slight him.
"Elder Dion Gagnon, you claim that their character is flawed, yet you have no explanation for it. Could it be that you have t them before, or perhaps you know them?" Zen Gagnon appeared to have beco a different person, initially seeming to condone Dion Gagnon’s actions motivated by personal grudges but now sounding as though he was the embodint of justice and fairness.
Zen Gagnon’s sudden shift—not only Dion Gagnon but even Wyatt Barnes were sowhat surprised.
When Dion Gagnon righteously declared the cancellation of his alchemy competition qualification and demanded he leave the Gagnon Family, Wyatt Barnes had seriously observed the judge ’Zen Gagnon’s’ expression.
Back then, Zen Gagnon was a bystander.
Now, the unexpected transformation left him sowhat unable to react.
"What caused Zen Gagnon to suddenly change like this? What motivated such a change?"
About this, Wyatt Barnes was completely puzzled.
Yet he felt there must be a reason.
Zen Gagnon’s action would undoubtedly offend Dion Gagnon, an elder who had worked with the Gagnon Family in Northumberland for many years.
If he knew Zen Gagnon and was on good terms with him, that would be one thing.
But the problem was that he didn’t know Zen Gagnon at all.
All that Zen Gagnon was doing now was for him, a person he had never t.
There must be a demon behind an abnormal event!
Wyatt Barnes found himself in agreent with this saying.
"I don’t know them!"
Facing Zen Gagnon’s questioning, Dion Gagnon’s eyes flashed coldly as he said in a deep voice, "However, soone does know them! And they experienced firsthand being injured by him."
"The person you’re talking about being injured by him... where are they? Can they be called out to speak for themselves?"
Zen Gagnon raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "After all, who knows if they are deliberately framing... Elder Dion Gagnon, what do you think?"
"Hmph!"
Dion Gagnon snorted coldly, then glanced at three middle-aged n including the one in green, and said indifferently, "Since Elder Zen Gagnon wants to know the ins and outs of the incident, you all tell him everything."
"Yes!"
Initially, the three middle-aged n thought that the purple-robed young man who injured them would soon be expelled, but they never expected Zen Gagnon to intervene unexpectedly.
Hearing Dion Gagnon’s summons, they did not dare to delay and imdiately responded in unison.
Then, they looked at Zen Gagnon.
"Elder Zen Gagnon, earlier outside the Gagnon residence, he openly injured the three of us... We three have never seen him before, let alone known him," the middle-aged man in green said righteously to Zen Gagnon. "Such scum, if allowed into the Gagnon Family, will only tarnish our na!"
"He randomly attacked people near the Gagnon residence, injuring those who were here to participate in the ’Alchemist Competition,’ people who could possibly beco mbers of the Gagnon Family. A person like that has no right to enter the Gagnon residence!"
"And his accomplice there, abetting evil! Once these two enter the Gagnon Family, it’ll be like two pieces of rat droppings ruining a whole pot of porridge."
The other two middle-aged n added their agreent, speaking righteously.
At the sa ti, the surroundings erupted into noise.
"If that’s really the case, the two of them indeed don’t deserve to join the Gagnon Family."
"Hmph! The Gagnon Family is one of the most prominent clans in our region of Northumberland; how could we tolerate such violently disposed individuals."
"Get out!"
"Out!"
...
After hearing the words of the middle-aged man in green and his companions, a group of people around them pointed at Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear, speaking rudely.
Wyatt Barnes completely ignored this scene, remaining composed from beginning to end as if the storm’s center wasn’t him but soone else.
However, just because he could remain calm didn’t an others could do the sa.
"You’re accusing others before being accused yourself!"
Fill Bear’s face turned a deep shade of red as he faced the pointing and comntary around him, suddenly shouting out as he pointed at the three middle-aged n in green, shaking, "The Young Master did injure you, but why don’t you tell the whole story?"
"With so many people here, why did the Young Master only injure you three and not anyone else?"
By the end of his speech, Fill Bear was so agitated that his body began to tremble.
It didn’t matter what others said about him.
But it was absolutely unacceptable for others to speak ill of his Young Master!
Fill Bear’s words turned the focus of the scene from Wyatt Barnes to the three n in green, "That’s right, why did he only injure you?"
"When I arrived, I passed by him too, but he had no intention of hurting us."
"Could it be that you provoked soone and therefore got taught a lesson?"
...
Many began to question the credibility of the three middle-aged n in green.
Just when the brows of the middle-aged n in green furrowed and Dion Gagnon’s face remained dark.
"Hmph!"
A sudden cold snort overpowered the noise of the crowd.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a handso young man dressed in brocade flew out and appeared before Zen Gagnon and Dion Gagnon, standing there proudly.
"Third Young Master."
The mont the newcor appeared, Zen Gagnon, Dion Gagnon, and five other mbers of the Gagnon Family promptly saluted him.
Perhaps, in terms of cultivation and expertise in ’alchemy,’ the newcor wasn’t on par with them. But he was a direct descendant of the Gagnon Family, with a high status that far exceeded that of these collateral relatives.
Such is the family hierarchy!
The ’direct line of descent’ was paramount.
"I’ve been listening in the shadows and I’ve heard everything about the incident... Since Elder Dion Gagnon feels they don’t deserve to stay with us in the Gagnon Family, then just let them be kicked out," said the Third Young Master of the Gagnon Family, as soon as he appeared, looking down at Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear as if they were ants he could crush at any mont.
"Third Young Master, you..."
Zen Gagnon’s expression changed slightly.
"What? Elder Zen Gagnon, do you not trust Elder Dion Gagnon’s judgnt, or do you also doubt mine?"
The Third Young Master of the Gagnon Family interrupted Zen Gagnon, looking at him with intense eyes.
