The group who barged into the Lowe family’s residence carrying coffins was none other than the Hernandez family. Leading them was Arlo’s father, Ollie.
Although Kamryn had previously advised the Hernandez family not to hold Lachlan responsible, considering that he was killed during the Clan Grand Competition while competing, Ollie, who was grieving the loss of his son, could not swallow this grievance. Not a day went by when he didn’t yearn to kill Lachlan and avenge his son, Arlo.
Furthermore, Ollie was unaware of Lachlan’s true strength. Although Arlo had witnessed Lachlan’s power during their encounter in the Goldheart Moon District, that mission was classified by the military, and the information was not shared with other members of the Hernandez family. The reclusive Wood family was also unlikely to communicate with the Hernandez family and reveal that Lachlan had a formidable expert supporting him, someone capable of instantly killing those in the Golden Core Realm.
So Ollie, filled with rage and without any reservations, stormed in to kill them all. The Hernandez family was one of the most powerful ordinary Ancient Martial Arts families, and Ollie, as a second-generation expert, had reached the late stage of Core Formation.
Today, he came with a determination to destroy Lachlan’s family, causing them to experience the pain of losing their loved ones. When they heard the name and background of the Hernandez family, especially Ollie’s strength, even Matthias and Raul’s expressions changed. They wore a solemn look.
It should be noted that Raul’s strength was only at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and not everyone could easily improve their strength like Lachlan. Many cultivators remained stuck in the Uppecia Realm and were unable to reach Core Formation in their entire lives. The Graham family, being an ordinary Ancient Martial Arts family, had Raul stuck at the mid-stage of Core Formation for decades, making it almost impossible for him to advance further. Matthias had only recently broken through to the early stage of Core Formation. As for the other strong members of the Graham family, they were only in the Uppecia Realm. It could be said that the late stage of Core Formation was an existence that no one present could contend with.
At this moment, the previously joyous atmosphere in the Lowe family suddenly changed. Emmanuel and Cara exchanged a glance and saw the confusion and seriousness in each other’s eyes. In the next second, Emmanuel stepped forward and asked Ollie in a deep voice, “My son-in-law killed your son? Is there some misunderstanding in all of this? What exactly happened?”
Lachlan hadn’t mentioned the Clan Grand Competition to Emmanuel, so he had no knowledge of the events.
“You are Lachlan’s father-in-law? Good! Very good!”
“And this old lady by your side should be Lachlan’s mother-in-law, right?”
“You don’t need to know what happened. Just prepare to die!”
“If you don’t want to involve others, then come forward and die!”
Ollie’s face was filled with a cruel and cold smile as he spoke.
“If you dare to harm my parents, try it!”
Mason spoke coldly at this moment, already prepared to fight to the death. Although he felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness from the formidable aura emanating from the other side, behind him stood his parents, as well as relatives and guests from the family. Even if it meant ending up dead, he would fight to the death.
“My parents? It seems you’re Lachlan’s brother-in-law, that damn scoundrel?”
“Good, very good! Don’t worry, you’ll be joining him on the road today, no need to rush!”
Upon hearing this, Ollie grinned savagely.
In an instant, the entire Lowe Mansion was filled with a murderous intent. The ordinary members of the Lowe family, including the guests, instinctively retreated. A sense of panic spread throughout the entire Lowe Mansion.
At this moment, Raul’s face carried a hint of seriousness as he said, “Mr. Hernandez, I am Raul, the patriarch of the Graham family! As far as I know, your son died during the Clan Grand Competition held by the Hudpids Sect, right? The Ancient Martial Arts Alliance has long established rules that the Clan Grand Competition involves competition and risks, and no one is allowed to pursue it afterwards. By coming here seeking revenge, aren’t you going against the rules?”
Upon hearing this, Ollie’s expression twisted in anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “So the Graham family’s trash is here too? Going against the rules? I don’t care about rules! All I know is that my son died! No matter who killed him, they must pay with their lives, tenfold!”
“Aren’t you afraid of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance sanctioning the Hernandez family?” Raul angrily asked.
The constant belittling of the Graham family by the other side, and the contemptuous attitude of the powerful Hernandez family, made the patriarch’s face incredibly ugly.
With a cold sneer, Ollie said, “Sanction? Hahaha… Let me tell you, I’ve already withdrawn from the Hernandez family. If the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance wants to sanction, they can sanction me alone! I have nothing to lose now, so what is there to fear? As long as I can avenge Arlo and make Lachlan and his family pay, I am willing to pay any price!”
As he spoke, his tone was filled with extreme madness and fanaticism.
The pain of losing his son had driven Ollie to the point where he disregarded everything. In order to seek revenge, he had even voluntarily left the Hernandez family and been expelled from the clan. Those who came with him today were all trusted experts from his own faction.
Staring coldly at Raul and Matthias, he gritted his teeth and said, “If I remember correctly, that damn Lachlan used the name of your Graham family to participate in the Clan Grand Competition. Arlo’s death is also related to your Graham family. Perfect, both the patriarch and the old patriarch of the Graham family are here today. I will take care of all of you and send you on your way together!”
“Hernandez, don’t be so arrogant and unreasonable! In every Clan Grand Competition, there are casualties among the young members of each family. If everyone seeks revenge afterwards like you, what kind of order would that be? Besides, as far as I know, it was Arlo who targeted Lachlan throughout the Clan Grand Competition, even wanting to kill him. That’s why he ultimately brought calamity upon himself. Who can you blame but yourself? Don’t push it too far!”
Matthias sternly shouted.
“Enough talk! Even if Arlo targeted Lachlan, so what? Only Arlo can kill others, but others can’t kill my son? I am indeed arrogant and unreasonable, pushing it too far. What can you do about it?”
As he spoke, Ollie’s expression turned ferocious as if he had been provoked.
His words were filled with a domineering, arrogant, insane, and resentful tone.
“Attack, kill!”
With that, he let out a cold shout and charged forward, like a vengeful ghost.
Behind him, the other dozen or so experts from the Hernandez family followed closely behind.
Each of them exuded a chilling intent to kill.
