“Lachlan, you can’t even protect yourself, yet you still have the audacity to worry about your daughter? Rest assured, after I kill you, I will naturally arrange for that little girl to accompany you,” Sawyer spoke.
“Young man, this is the Wynter family. Do you think you can act recklessly here?” Terry said.
“Mr. Wynter, this young man’s strength should not be underestimated. Even the Core Formation Realm is not his match,” another family head chimed in.
“…,” the remaining family heads hurriedly agreed. In their eyes, once they arrived at the Wynter family, Lachlan was undoubtedly doomed. There was no need to worry about that.
“Indeed, at such a young age, he has defeated the Core Formation Realm,” Terry said with a faint smile. “I want to see if your strength is enough to kill ten Core Formation Realm experts.”
As his words fell, the aura of the ten men surrounding Lachlan, who were all in the Core Formation Realm, instantly surged, crushing down with the pressure unique to the Core Formation Realm.
However, Lachlan remained calm, his expression still indifferent.
Against ten Core Formation Realm experts, even with his own strength, it would be a fierce battle if he didn’t use his Golden Core power.
Moreover, Terry’s strength had reached the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.
They were not affiliated with ancient powers, so there were no restrictions when they made a move.
However, when Lachlan came to save Nora, he had already made up his mind. Even if he had to use True Energy and attract the Orderwarden’s attention, he would rescue Nora.
Furthermore, as long as they attacked him first, his counterattack would not violate the taboos set by the Orderwarden!
“It’s you!”
Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the source of the voice.
They saw a young woman in a light yellow dress walking towards Lachlan.
“Stephanie, do you know this person?” Terry asked.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
“He is the one I told you about, the person who saved me at Moon Guardian,” Stephanie said, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief as she looked at Lachlan.
“Lachlan, you… you came to my house so quickly?”
“Why… why didn’t you even say hello?”
As she spoke, a blush appeared on the girl’s charming face.
She hadn’t realized the current situation yet and thought that Lachlan had come to the Wynter family to find her. After all, he had previously said that he would come to her house and meet her family.
After Stephanie’s voice fell, Terry looked at Lachlan with a puzzled expression, then looked at his daughter, who had a somewhat embarrassed and shy expression, as if he had figured something out.
“I see, no wonder the name Lachlan sounded familiar. So, this young man is the savior of my daughter?” Terry said with a laugh. “Hahaha, young man, you’re quite impressive, actually single-handedly killing those evil cultivators.”
For a moment, Terry’s attitude made a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, leaving Sawyer and the others dumbfounded, unsure of how to react.
They were not idiots. The conversation just now had made it clear that Lachlan had helped Miss Wynter and had seemingly saved her life.
Lachlan did not answer and instead surveyed the ten Core Formation Realm experts surrounding him.
Terry’s face immediately turned serious, and he shouted at his experts, “What are you all standing there for? Retreat!”
“After a few seconds, the Core Formation Realm experts disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Lachlan, what is going on?” Stephanie approached, looking at Lachlan with a hint of confusion on her face.
Finally, she realized that something was not right with the situation.
“Where is Nora?” At this moment, Lachlan temporarily ignored her and turned his gaze toward Sawyer, his voice still cold.
“Who is Nora?” Terry finally reacted and turned to look at Sawyer.
“Mr. Wynter, due to the sudden turn of events, I didn’t inform you in advance. I’ve sent a little girl to the estate,” Sawyer explained.
“Reckless!”
Upon hearing this, Terry’s face instantly changed, and he angrily commanded Sawyer, causing him to fall to the ground.
“Sawyer, you’re so audacious!”
“Someone, quickly bring Nora here.”
The people present fell silent, except for Stephanie, who stepped forward and looked at Lachlan with a complex expression on her face.
“Don’t worry, Nora is safe in our home.”
Soon after, Nora appeared, holding a lollipop in her hand, and rushed towards Lachlan when she saw him.
“Daddy, you came to save me.”
“Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine, Daddy.”
Nora licked the lollipop and said seriously.
After Nora was brought over, she was unharmed. She was placed in the care of a nanny by a few guards. At that time, Nora kept crying and looking for Lachlan. The nanny took out a lollipop to temporarily soothe her.
“A few days ago, I wanted to meet you. Stephanie praised you for single-handedly defeating that evil cultivator. I didn’t expect to meet you like this. It’s really…”
At this moment, Terry’s voice rang out, looking at Lachlan with admiration but also with a hint of embarrassment.
“You must stay here for dinner today and let me and my family show our appreciation.”
Terry’s reaction left Sawyer and the other six families stunned.
To see Terry being so polite to Lachlan at this moment was beyond their expectations.
Their hearts were filled with mixed feelings. Sawyer, who had been silent all along, finally couldn’t bear it and stepped forward, suppressing the severe pain in his right leg, and spoke softly.
“Master, this guy is…”
“Shut up! Lachlan is Stephanie’s benefactor and a guest of my family. What are you?” Terry interrupted before Sawyer could finish, his firm tone making Sawyer collapse to the ground.
Without the protection of the Wynter family, he was undoubtedly doomed today.
The other five families quickly realized the situation and spoke up.
“Mr. Wynter, this has nothing to do with me. Mr. Lewis arranged everything. We didn’t do anything.”
“Kidnapping Lachlan’s daughter was Mr. Lewis’s own doing. We didn’t participate at all.”
Listening to their words, Terry’s face darkened, and he roughly understood what had happened.
“You bunch of animals, relying on others and taking advantage of them!”
Sawyer forcefully steadied his trembling body and cursed angrily.
Sawyer never expected that these guys would betray him at such a critical moment.
Then, he looked at Terry.
“Mr. Wynter, it was indeed me who did this, but these guys are also involved.”
“Nonsense!”
“If it weren’t for you, Sawyer, suppressing us with Mr. Wynter all the time, who would listen to you?!”
“That’s right, concerning what happened to Lachlan, you sent people to do it, and we had nothing to do with it from start to finish.”
“Oakley is right. It was you who proposed to kidnap Lachlan’s daughter.”
As the voices grew louder, Sawyer’s face turned ashen.
He never expected that he would be betrayed after he had wholeheartedly helped the other five families.
Sawyer regretted not eliminating the influence of the other families completely from the beginning.
Even if he were in complete control now, what difference would it make?
Could it be that Terry would cause trouble for himself for the sake of a so-called benefactor?
If there was anyone to blame, it was his own kindness.
Terry slowly raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to stop.
He looked at Lachlan.
“Lachlan, I have offended you in this matter, but our family will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”
As he finished speaking, a hint of killing intent flashed in Terry’s eyes.
However, in the blink of an eye, it disappeared, but everyone present could sense that terrifying killing intent.
“Mr. Wynter, you…”
At this moment, Sawyer completely panicked. Having followed Terry for so many years, he naturally understood what Terry intended to do.
He had only kidnapped the daughter of an outsider, offended the benefactor of the Wynter family, and now he was going to be killed!
“I refuse to accept it!”
“Terry, I refuse!” Sawyer’s eyes widened in anger, bloodshot.
He never expected that it would end up like this!
“Take him away!”
Terry’s face remained calm as he gave a cold snort. Two figures appeared and took Sawyer away.
“As for the rest of you, considering that you have followed me for many years and played a secondary role in this matter, I will spare your lives for now!”
“But just because I spare you doesn’t mean Lachlan will.”
As soon as the words fell, everyone’s spirits rose.
They had already understood Terry’s intentions and all knelt down before Lachlan!
“Mr. Willis, this truly has nothing to do with us. It was all Sawyer’s doing. Please forgive us,” they pleaded.
“I, the Larson family, swear that we will no longer target Flynn. I beg for your mercy, Mr. Willis.”
“From now on, the Nunez family will no longer interfere with Marblightning Group’s business.”
“…”
