Upon hearing Yin Master’s words, Gilberto also felt uneasy in his heart.
“Is that so? Yin Master, take me back to the hidden world of the Willis family then. If what you said is true and this incident will bring disaster, which you can’t handle, then wouldn’t I be in even greater danger?” Gilberto grabbed Yin Master’s arm, feeling a sense of panic for some unknown reason.
Upon hearing this, a cold expression crossed Yin Master’s face as he furrowed his brow and shook off Gilberto.
“What are you kidding about? I can return to the hidden world of the Willis family, but why should you come with me? Don’t forget your identity! You are responsible for accumulating wealth for the family on the outside,” Yin Master said, his expression turning grim. “But if there is indeed a formidable expert on the other side, I will be in danger in Slocmore!”
“Yin Master, you can’t just abandon me!” Gilberto pleaded.
“Get lost! What does your safety have to do with me? You’re just a tool for accumulating wealth for the family. Do you really think you’re my superior, and that I should obey your orders?” Yin Master said, kicking Gilberto away and wearing a mocking and impatient expression.
The next second, Yin Master started packing his things to leave.
However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded out.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Following the voice, they saw a figure that appeared in the living room, seemingly out of nowhere.
With cold and mocking eyes, the figure stared at Yin Master and Gilberto.
“Hehe, Mr. Carter is here too? That’s great, saves me the trouble of finding you,” the person said.
If it wasn’t Lachlan, who else could it be?
Upon seeing Lachlan suddenly appear, both Yin Master and Gilberto’s faces changed.
The next second, a fierce intent flashed across Yin Master’s face. Instead of immediately thinking about dealing with Lachlan or escaping, he curled his fingers into claws and suddenly reached for Gilberto’s head.
At that moment, his palm turned pitch black, emanating a dense and lingering corpse aura.
In that instant, Gilberto felt his entire body’s hairs stand on end. A pervasive sense of fear engulfed him, causing his soul to tremble.
As a skilled expert sent by the hidden world of the Willis family to assist him, Gilberto was aware of some of Yin Master’s methods. Yin Master had even performed this move in front of Gilberto before, showcasing its power. It was used on a company owner who refused to cooperate with the Medical Business Alliance of Corlinet Delta. The owner had been brought to Yin Master by Gilberto’s men, and Yin Master used this move, striking the owner’s head.
In the blink of an eye, the owner had turned into a powerful controlled corpse puppet under Yin Master’s control.
Gilberto never expected that Yin Master, at a time like this, would use this ruthless move against him. Was he planning to turn him into his puppet, assisting him in battle and helping him deal with Lachlan?
In that moment, Gilberto felt like he had fallen into an icy abyss, his body and soul freezing completely.
But before he could react, a hand seemed to appear out of thin air, firmly grabbing Yin Master’s wrist above Gilberto’s head.
“If you want to kill him, I’ll be the one to do it! Hehe…” Lachlan coldly laughed.
Crack!
The next moment, he exerted force with his hand.
With the sound of bones shattering, Yin Master’s right wrist was crushed by Lachlan.
Aside from his corpse manipulation techniques, Yin Master’s strength was equivalent to a peak-stage expert of the Uppecia realm. Even without using True Energy, Lachlan had no problem dealing with him.
“Who… who are you?” Yin Master’s face turned pale as he asked in shock.
Peng!
Lachlan didn’t waste any words; with immense force, his fist struck the opponent’s chest. The heavy force of earth power caused the opponent’s chest to cave in under the impact.
Puff!
Yin Master crashed through a wall in the room and landed in a sorry state on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“As you’re both about to die, does it matter who I am?” Lachlan spoke coldly, temporarily ignoring Gilberto as he approached Yin Master step by step.
“Would you dare to kill me? I am from the hidden world, the Willis family. My master is Wicked Bone of the Willis family. If you harm me, my master and the Willis family will never let you go.”
From the moment they clashed, Yin Master knew he was no match for Lachlan. Despite resorting to various dark arts, they were meaningless in the face of absolute strength. Consequently, he could only bring up his background in an attempt to intimidate Lachlan.
However, as he finished speaking, a mocking smirk appeared on Lachlan’s face.
“The hidden world, the Willis family? Wicked Bone? How convenient. I enjoy killing those associated with them!”
With that, Lachlan’s figure turned into a blur, instantly reaching Yin Master.
The next moment, as Yin Master looked on resentfully, Lachlan’s kick snapped his neck.
“If you love controlling corpses so much, I’ll make you one too!” Lachlan sneered as he looked at the lifeless Yin Master with a cold snort.
At this moment, Gilberto stood frozen in place, realizing there was no chance of escape in front of this young man.
Witnessing the seemingly powerful and versatile Yin Master be killed at first sight by Lachlan, Gilberto felt a sense of inexplicable horror.
“Do you know me?” Lachlan sat on the sofa, staring at Gilberto.
“I do! You’re Lachlan, Miranda’s husband! In Iylonio, it was you who broke my son’s leg.”
Gilberto swallowed hard, his tone tinged with fear and resentment.
“Yes, it was me! Now that you know who I am, you should understand my purpose here, right?” Lachlan nodded, asking with a sneer.
“I do!” Gilberto took a deep breath.
“Do you have any last words? Speak up.”
Lachlan’s voice was menacing, not hiding his intent to kill.
Upon hearing this, Gilberto’s expression changed rapidly. The fear of death replaced the hatred he felt towards Lachlan.
Did he truly hate Lachlan and Miranda so much? Perhaps not.
His true hatred lay in his own helplessness, his inability to provoke the Willis family.
He blamed himself for his son’s death at the hands of a member of the hidden world, the Willis family, unable to avenge his son. Instead, he transferred this hatred onto Lachlan and Miranda.
However, as he faced the equally powerful and despair-inducing Lachlan, his mindset underwent a shift.
“No!”
“Don’t act rashly!” Gilberto exclaimed urgently.
“Oh? Why?” Lachlan raised an eyebrow.
“Do you have a feud with the hidden world, the Willis family?” Gilberto organized his thoughts internally and then asked urgently.
“Hehe…” Lachlan chuckled noncommittally. “And?”
Gilberto gritted his teeth. “Enemies’ enemies are friends! Lachlan, I have a grudge against the Willis family. My son died at the hands of the Willis family’s people.”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan couldn’t help but chuckle, “Enemies’ enemies are friends? Hehe… Do you have the qualifications? Can you help me deal with the Willis family, or what?”
“I can.” Gilberto quickly responded, then changed his tone, “Anyway, I’ve worked for the Willis family for many years. I know some of their secrets. I believe I have value to offer you.”
With that, his eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth, “As long as you promise to spare me, I’ll tell you valuable information right now.”
Faced with life and death, Gilberto’s loyalty to the Willis family was no longer relevant. Especially considering the recent series of events that had soured his feelings towards them. His son Xander had died at the hands of Kevin. The conduct of the Yin Master sent by the Willis family had further disheartened him. He knew that Yin Master’s disrespect towards him wasn’t just his own attitude; it was indicative of how he was perceived within the ranks of the Willis family. In their eyes, Gilberto was merely a tool, disposable at any moment.
“Oh? What information? You tell me first.” Lachlan asked with keen interest.
“You have to promise not to kill me first!” Gilberto said nervously.
“You don’t have the right to bargain with me. If the information you provide is useful, I might consider sparing you. Even if I agree now, what if I change my mind later, what can you do?”
