At the outskirts of the Fire Spiritual Vein!
Ancestor Garraway, Ancestor Salazar, and other elders of the Ancient Wynter Family had long departed.
However, Pandora Wynter remained, waiting for Lachlan to emerge.
Jerome Wynter, her grandfather, had also stayed for several days, occasionally coming to check.
At this moment, Jerome Wynter arrived once more!
Seeing his daughter standing there, looking in the direction of the Fire Spiritual Vein, Jerome Wynter’s face showed a mix of heartache and sighs.
“Pandora, are you still waiting for Lachlan?
There’s no need to stay here all the time. If he can come out, he will.”
Jerome Wynter sighed and advised.
Compared to his initial resolve, Jerome Wynter’s determination had waned, and he too began to question: Can Lachlan really come out?
It’s already been over ten days!
“No! I want to wait here for Lachlan.
When he comes out, I want him to see his Aunt Pandora first.
My sister and brother-in-law are gone; who else does Lachlan have?
I am his Aunt Pandora. If I don’t care for him, who will?”
Pandora Wynter shook her head firmly.
Her eyes looked towards the Fire Spiritual Vein like a mother longing for her child’s return.
As they say, an aunt is like a mother!
With Lachlan’s mother gone, his Aunt Pandora was like a mother to him!
“Alright! Then as his grandfather, I’ll wait with you!”
Jerome Wynter nodded.
He felt an indescribable heartache for his grandson Lachlan.
Being at the peak of Late-stage Hollow Void and with Pandora Wynter at the late stage of Nascent Soul, they could wait here for months without eating or drinking and still survive.
So, he decided to wait with his daughter!
“Hehehe, Jerome Wynter, Pandora, you’re still here?”
At this moment, a mocking voice sounded.
Sigmund Wynter appeared with several elders of the Ancient Wynter Family, leisurely walking over.
Seeing Pandora Wynter and Jerome Wynter standing there, the head of the Wynter family immediately mocked them.
“What else?”
Jerome Wynter’s face darkened as he retorted.
Sigmund Wynter chuckled: “If you ask me, you should stop waiting!
It’s been over ten days; Lachlan probably won’t ever come out!
The former head and three Ancient Fragmented Void Ancestors entered the Lost Land together and never returned.
Do you really think Lachlan can come out alive?”
Sigmund Wynter’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude as he mocked.
Hearing this, Jerome Wynter’s face turned livid: “Brother, isn’t it too early to say that?”
“Uncle, Lachlan is also your grandson. Even if not by blood, do you have to curse him like this?
Do you have any dignity or grace as an elder?”
Pandora Wynter’s face showed anger as she questioned Sigmund Wynter.
Wow!
Hearing this, there was an uproar at the scene.
Sigmund Wynter’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Pandora Wynter with a chilling gaze.
These ancient martial forces still retained some old traditions and customs from ancient Priocia.
For Pandora Wynter, a junior, to confront her uncle and head of the family so disrespectfully made Sigmund Wynter furious.
“How dare you! Pandora Wynter, how dare you speak to the head of the family like that!”
An elder of the Ancient Wynter Family also angrily rebuked.
“I’m just telling the truth! Uncle, aren’t you just afraid that if Lachlan really comes out and removes the family’s misfortune, it will threaten your position as head?
Is that why you want him to die in the Lost Land?”
Although she hadn’t known Lachlan for long, Pandora Wynter already saw him as her own child.
She only knew one thing: he was her dearest sister’s son!
Which meant he was her son!
Hearing someone repeatedly say that Lachlan would never come out made Pandora Wynter extremely angry.
At this point, she no longer cared about any etiquette.
“Outrageous! Jerome Wynter, will you discipline your daughter or not?”
“If you won’t teach her respect for elders, I will!”
Sigmund Wynter’s face was extremely dark as he pointed at Pandora Wynter and questioned Vice Head Jerome Wynter.
Jerome Wynter’s face showed a mix of emotions as he stood there silently.
He was also furious at Sigmund Wynter’s repeated curses towards his grandson.
“Fine! If you won’t teach her, I will!”
Sigmund Wynter nodded and coldly looked at Pandora Wynter: “You unfilial child, how dare you defy me! Kneel!
Or don’t blame me for using family punishment!”
As he spoke, Pandora Wynter gritted her teeth and stubbornly stood there, glaring at Sigmund Wynter with defiance.
“Outrageous!”
“How dare you! I command you to kneel!”
Sigmund Wynter shouted angrily.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and rushed towards Pandora Wynter.
The pressure of a peak Late-stage Hollow Void descended overwhelmingly!
