Chapter 2106: The Nilles Family Chapter 2106: The Nilles Family Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “You bastard!

How dare you talk to me like that!” The Third Elder’s 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 family’s elders, they would undoubtedly take him back and enforce their rules.

Even the higher-ups of the Myriad Demon Sect wouldn’t intervene.

After all, most of them hailed from the eight great families and would never side with him.

Just as the Third Elder’s palm was about to land, a slender hand shot out, gripping his wrist firmly.

“Why didn’t you resist?” Braydon Neal’s voice was calm but sharp as he held the Third Elder’s wrist, turning to Wilma.

Wilma looked away, her expression distant.

She didn’t 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 family’s ancestor, the founder of the Myriad Demon Sect.

“You brat!

Do you even know who I am?” The Third Elder glared at Braydon, his face ferocious.

“I am the Third Elder of the Nilles family!

How dare you stop me?” Braydon sneered coldly.

“And who do you think you are?” In a flash, his sword was drawn, its gleaming blade pressing against the Third Elder’s neck.

“A dog with a cheap disguise, thinking no one can see through it,” Braydon mocked.

“You’ve got three seconds.

Either reveal your true form or I’ll let the so-called Third Elder perish right here.” Shock flickered across the Third Elder’s face.

He hadn’t expected Braydon to see through him so easily.

“Three.” Braydon’s cold voice echoed as his eyes glinted with killing intent.

“Wait, I’ll change back!” The Third Elder quickly raised his hands in surrender, realizing Braydon meant every word.

As the Third Elder reverted to his original form, Wilma’s eyes widened in astonishment.

She hadn’t noticed that the man before her was an imposter.

In an instant, the figure before them transformed, revealing a shifty-eyed man.

“Imre Baucom!

It’s you!” Wilma exclaimed, her voice sharp.

“Who sent you?

And how dare you impersonate the Third Elder?

Do you even realize the severity of such a crime?” Imre shrugged off her words with a smirk.

“Wilma, spare me the lecture.” “Since I dared to take on the Third Elder’s appearance, it’s obvious I was ordered to.” He paused, his tone turning cold.

“The 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.” With that, Imre turned and fled, his figure vanishing in seconds.

Braydon watched him disappear without giving chase.

“Just another coward who bullies the weak and cowers before the strong,” he muttered.

Braydon turned back to Wilma.

“Who is that guy?

How can someone like him act so arrogantly, even with you being an outer sect elder of the Myriad Demon Sect?” Wilma’s expression grew complicated, her lips pressed tightly together.

“The Nilles family is divided into factions.

My father is the family leader, but the family’s power isn’t entirely in his hands,” she explained.

“Apart from the Patriarch, there’s the Elders Council, the Law Enforcement Team, and others.

“Imre is a subordinate of the Third Elder in the Elders Guild.

He specializes in disguise and espionage.

He’s also a disciple of the Sixth Peak.

“Usually, he handles covert operations for the Third Elder, often impersonating him.” She sighed.

“It seems the Third Elder has already caught wind of this situation.” Braydon frowned.

“So, the Third Elder intends to use you as a pawnaEUR”marry you off to another family to secure resources for the Nilles family?” Wilma nodded, her sadness evident.

“Imre’s words make it clear.

I always believed that as long as I didn’t rely on the Nilles family’s power, they wouldn’t try to control my life.

But now, I realize that individual desires mean nothing compared to the family’s interests.

“My parents didn’t love each other either.

Their union was purely for the family’s benefit.” Braydon remained silent, listening to her sorrowful words.

He’d 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 Wilma’s value to its fullest.

Despite not being as gifted as her sister, Wilma’s talents weren’t insignificant.

More importantly, as the family leader’s daughter, her status alone was enough to make her desirable to countless suitors.

Braydon finally broke the silence, his voice calm.

“This isn’t happening immediately.

We still have time to prepare.

And if it comes to it, we can leave the Myriad Demon Sect’s territory altogether.” Wilma smiled faintly, but there was a trace of sadness in her expression.

“Braydon, did you know?

I thought I was his daughter.

Even if he didn’t care about me, I was still his daughter.

“But now I understandaEUR”when it comes to the family’s development, anything and anyone can be sacrificed.” Suddenly, Braydon reached out, gently ruffling Wilma’s hair.

For the first time, his tone softened.

“Don’t overthink it.

When the time comes, we’ll figure something out.” “If the Nilles family dares to force you into a marriage, I’ll fight them.

If I win, the choice is yours.

If I lose, I’ll take you away.” Wilma stared at him, her expression softening.

Slowly, a genuine smile spread across her face.

“Alright.”
