Chapter 2106: The Nilles Family Chapter 2106: The Nilles Family Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation âYou bastard!
How dare you talk to me like that!â The Third Elderâs face twisted in fury.
Wilma Nilles closed her eyes and lowered her head, bracing herself for the slap.
The Nilles family had strict family rules.
Even if it was now an outer sect elder of the Myriad Demon Sect, in their eyes, it was a trivial matter.
They rarely interfered with his affairs, but if he truly struck a member of the Nilles familyâs elders, they would undoubtedly take him back and enforce their rules.
Even the higher-ups of the Myriad Demon Sect wouldnât intervene.
After all, most of them hailed from the eight great families and would never side with him.
Just as the Third Elderâs palm was about to land, a slender hand shot out, gripping his wrist firmly.
âWhy didnât you resist?â Braydon Nealâs voice was calm but sharp as he held the Third Elderâs wrist, turning to Wilma.
Wilma looked away, her expression distant.
She didnât want to be dragged into this confrontation.
The Nilles family was one of the eight major families within the Myriad Demon Sect.
It boasted countless experts, including several level-nine transcendents.
But none of that was the real concern.
The most formidable figure was the Nilles familyâs ancestor, the founder of the Myriad Demon Sect.
âYou brat!
Do you even know who I am?â The Third Elder glared at Braydon, his face ferocious.
âI am the Third Elder of the Nilles family!
How dare you stop me?â Braydon sneered coldly.
âAnd who do you think you are?â In a flash, his sword was drawn, its gleaming blade pressing against the Third Elderâs neck.
âA dog with a cheap disguise, thinking no one can see through it,â Braydon mocked.
âYouâve got three seconds.
Either reveal your true form or Iâll let the so-called Third Elder perish right here.â Shock flickered across the Third Elderâs face.
He hadnât expected Braydon to see through him so easily.
âThree.â Braydonâs cold voice echoed as his eyes glinted with killing intent.
âWait, Iâll change back!â The Third Elder quickly raised his hands in surrender, realizing Braydon meant every word.
As the Third Elder reverted to his original form, Wilmaâs eyes widened in astonishment.
She hadnât noticed that the man before her was an imposter.
In an instant, the figure before them transformed, revealing a shifty-eyed man.
âImre Baucom!
Itâs you!â Wilma exclaimed, her voice sharp.
âWho sent you?
And how dare you impersonate the Third Elder?
Do you even realize the severity of such a crime?â Imre shrugged off her words with a smirk.
âWilma, spare me the lecture.â âSince I dared to take on the Third Elderâs appearance, itâs obvious I was ordered to.â He paused, his tone turning cold.
âThe Third Elder asked me to remind you to keep your distance from people with differing backgrounds.
The family is arranging a suitable marriage for you.
All you need to do is wait.â With that, Imre turned and fled, his figure vanishing in seconds.
Braydon watched him disappear without giving chase.
âJust another coward who bullies the weak and cowers before the strong,â he muttered.
Braydon turned back to Wilma.
âWho is that guy?
How can someone like him act so arrogantly, even with you being an outer sect elder of the Myriad Demon Sect?â Wilmaâs expression grew complicated, her lips pressed tightly together.
âThe Nilles family is divided into factions.
My father is the family leader, but the familyâs power isnât entirely in his hands,â she explained.
âApart from the Patriarch, thereâs the Elders Council, the Law Enforcement Team, and others.
âImre is a subordinate of the Third Elder in the Elders Guild.
He specializes in disguise and espionage.
Heâs also a disciple of the Sixth Peak.
âUsually, he handles covert operations for the Third Elder, often impersonating him.â She sighed.
âIt seems the Third Elder has already caught wind of this situation.â Braydon frowned.
âSo, the Third Elder intends to use you as a pawnââŹâmarry you off to another family to secure resources for the Nilles family?â Wilma nodded, her sadness evident.
âImreâs words make it clear.
I always believed that as long as I didnât rely on the Nilles familyâs power, they wouldnât try to control my life.
But now, I realize that individual desires mean nothing compared to the familyâs interests.
âMy parents didnât love each other either.
Their union was purely for the familyâs benefit.â Braydon remained silent, listening to her sorrowful words.
Heâd witnessed many such situations before.
Individual wishes were often crushed under the weight of larger interests.
The lasting power of familial structures rang true in such moments.
It was no surprise that the Nilles family would exploit Wilmaâs value to its fullest.
Despite not being as gifted as her sister, Wilmaâs talents werenât insignificant.
More importantly, as the family leaderâs daughter, her status alone was enough to make her desirable to countless suitors.
Braydon finally broke the silence, his voice calm.
âThis isnât happening immediately.
We still have time to prepare.
And if it comes to it, we can leave the Myriad Demon Sectâs territory altogether.â Wilma smiled faintly, but there was a trace of sadness in her expression.
âBraydon, did you know?
I thought I was his daughter.
Even if he didnât care about me, I was still his daughter.
âBut now I understandââŹâwhen it comes to the familyâs development, anything and anyone can be sacrificed.â Suddenly, Braydon reached out, gently ruffling Wilmaâs hair.
For the first time, his tone softened.
âDonât overthink it.
When the time comes, weâll figure something out.â âIf the Nilles family dares to force you into a marriage, Iâll fight them.
If I win, the choice is yours.
If I lose, Iâll take you away.â Wilma stared at him, her expression softening.
Slowly, a genuine smile spread across her face.
âAlright.â
