Sawyer had been loyal to Terry for decades, following him faithfully. In Westunity City, the Wynter family’s large and small industries were all managed by Sawyer alone. Now, only Terry could rebuild another one.
However, after putting in so much effort, as long as he could win over Lachlan, it would be worth it.
Without the dog, they could still be cultivated, but Lachlan was different.
In recent years, the Wynter family had experienced some disintegration. For some unknown reason, clan members would leave the family or disappear for various reasons, as if the Wynter family had been cursed with misfortune.
Stephanie had previously gone to the Moonlit Monastery to pray for the family, largely because of this.
In this situation, Terry’s principle was to ally with all the strong individuals he could find.
“Mr. Wynter, you’re too polite.”
Lachlan was not pretentious either and drank his wine in one gulp.
“If you don’t mind, you can just call me Terry. It feels awkward to address me as Mr. Wynter all the time.”
“Terry.”
Lachlan smiled lightly.
Upon hearing this, Stephanie’s expression beside them became somewhat strange, and she cast a displeased glance at her father.
At this moment, Terry was unaware of his daughter’s little thoughts and was very happy to hear Lachlan call him this way.
“Hahaha, whether it’s in Westunity or the surrounding areas, if you encounter any difficulties, just speak up.”
“I can’t promise anything else, but I’m confident about this.”
Lachlan’s expression remained calm; he naturally understood Terry’s intentions. The Wynter family was not without its uses for Lachlan either.
Based solely on Stephanie’s striking resemblance to his own mother, Lachlan suspected that there might be some connection between the Wynter family and his mother. However, it was not yet the time to ask about these matters.
…
Meanwhile, outside Summer Sea Manor, several blurred figures approached.
These people were hidden in the darkness of the night, moving at an extremely fast speed. Even if they passed by ordinary people, it was doubtful that anyone could detect them.
This indicated that they were all top-notch experts!
“Yes, this is the place. The information was given by the Elder.”
“We must act quickly this time and capture Lachlan before leaving!”
“Lachlan is now a member of the ancient sect, Broken Pulse Sect. We can make a move against him. However, remember not to harm others easily, so as not to attract the attention of the Orderwarden.”
The man in the lead seemed shrouded in shadows. He was Diretide, a loyal subordinate of Maximus, the Elder of the ancient Willis family.
Last time, they almost succeeded, but the Orderwarden arrived in the end and took away their target.
The Elder’s command this time was clear: they must capture Lachlan and obtain the inheritance within him before the Patriarch sensed that something was amiss.
The attitude of the Patriarch of the ancient Willis family last time was unexpectedly to find Lachlan, who possessed the inheritance, and make him the successor.
The Elder and the Patriarch did not share the same goal. The Elder only wanted to achieve his own objectives before the others in the ancient Willis family noticed.
As the words fell, the six men in black robes moved slightly and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
At the same time, one kilometer away from Summer Sea Manor.
A man in fiery red clothes furrowed his brow.
“Can you sense it? There are several powerful fluctuations!”
A burly man with unfamiliar facial features stood behind the man and nodded slightly upon hearing his words.
“With these auras, the strength of the other party is not to be underestimated. Moreover, they seem to be heading in the same direction as us.”
“Could it be that besides us, there are others coveting the Divine Feather and the Treasure Map… and they are one step ahead of us?”
“Let’s go. We can’t let the items fall into someone else’s hands.”
In an instant, the two figures turned into shadows and disappeared from the spot.
And on the other side!
Terry, who was at the banquet, and Lachlan and the others, were unaware that someone had infiltrated.
“My daughter, she stays at home all the time. Since she wants to go out with you, let her go.”
“But Lachlan, don’t worry, I will send someone to protect her.”
Terry leaned over and whispered in Lachlan’s ear, a hint of ambiguous smile on his face.
Terry only had one daughter, so naturally, he doted on her. He almost always fulfilled her requests. And if Stephanie could be with Lachlan, it would be a great boost for the Wynter family.
Lachlan smiled bitterly at the words, but before he could politely refuse, his expression suddenly changed!
He suddenly felt a warning sign and his expression became serious as he looked towards the hall’s entrance.
Terry noticed his reaction and followed his gaze, his previously smiling face turning grim.
Outside the door stood six men in black robes, emitting an intimidating aura.
It was evident that they were not ordinary martial practitioners from the mundane world.
“How audacious!”
“Do they really think Summer Sea Manor is a place anyone can come to? Guards!”
As Terry’s voice sounded, dozens of Core Formation Realm experts immediately appeared.
However, before these Core Formation Realm experts could make a move, a horrifying scene unfolded.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Accompanied by resounding explosions, dozens of Core Formation Realm experts unexpectedly knelt down without any warning.
Even the ground beneath them was shattered by a powerful impact.
Terry and the others felt their breathing becoming difficult.
“Daddy!”
Nora’s big eyes were filled with nervousness as she tightly grasped Lachlan’s clothes.
“Don’t worry, Nora, everything will be fine!”
Lachlan patted his daughter’s head to reassure her.
“Terry, I’ll leave Nora to you for now. These people are here for me.”
After handing Nora over to Terry, Lachlan’s gaze became firm as he nodded slightly.
Golden Core Realm auras, and there were five of them! The leading man was even more unfathomable, with strength surpassing that of the Golden Core Realm.
“People from the ancient Willis family? It seems you’re still not giving up.”
Lachlan’s expression remained calm as he spoke casually.
From the moment they appeared, Lachlan had a faint guess.
The ancient Willis family! It must be them again!
“Attack!”
With the order from the leader, the five Golden Core Realm experts charged towards Lachlan like projectiles.
“People from the ancient Willis family?”
“This person is ours, get lost!”
Just at that moment, another cold shout suddenly rang out.
