Chapter 568 Furious Outrage
Chapter 568 Furious Outrage
Lachlan sat alone in a car with Kyrie, heading straight to a place called Vanatown in the western part of Sutroydor. Kyrie's senior disciple, Darius, and several other followers were in two other cars, also keeping an eye on the hostage named Kevin.
Previously, Wicked Bone had told Lachlan to meet him in Sutroydor West. He was likely cautious and didn't give the specific location, just a general idea of this place.
"Lachlan, are you saying that my great niece has fallen into the hands of an elder from the secretive Willis family?" Kyrie asked in a deep voice.
Over the phone, Lachlan briefly explained the situation, but he didn't have many details.
"Yes, Kyrie. Wicked Bone is a formidable cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, but I don't know if he will bring other helpers from the Willis family. It concerns Nora, so I have no choice but to trouble you again," Lachlan nodded, seeming somewhat embarrassed.
Kyrie sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Lachlan, what are you saying? We're sworn brothers. How can I stand idly by when my niece has fallen into the hands of villains? Don't worry, isn't he just a trashy early Nascent Soul cultivator? He's no match for us!"
"Yes, but Wicked Bone, besides being a Nascent Soul expert, is also knowledgeable in various unorthodox techniques. We should be cautious," Lachlan nodded.
Speaking of this, the great witch doctor chuckled coldly, "Unorthodox techniques? Heh, I know them too. Don't worry!"
Then, his tone changed, and he looked at Lachlan, asking tentatively, "Lachlan, why does he want you to go there and what does he aim to achieve by using my great niece as leverage?"
Upon hearing Kyrie's question, Lachlan pondered for two seconds and finally said in a deep voice, "Kyrie, I won't hide it from you! Wicked Bone's goal is the inheritance within me."
"Inheritance?" Kyrie's face twitched, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"That's right! The ancient Willis family has passed down a Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant for generations, and it contains an unparalleled inheritance. I have obtained this inheritance. Wicked Bone's objective is the legacy within my mind."
Lachlan, who was driving, turned his head and glanced at Kyrie, wanting to see his reaction.
After considering it, he decided to reveal this secret to Kyrie. After all, Wicked Bone already knew about this secret within him, and it would likely be revealed to the world sooner or later. Now that he was seeking Kyrie's help, it was the same thing to keep it hidden from him.
By speaking out, he could also demonstrate his sincerity. Of course, Lachlan admitted that he was taking a gamble.
After hearing Lachlan's words, Kyrie slowly nodded and looked at Lachlan with a glimmer of satisfaction and amusement in his eyes.
In fact, Kyrie had already suspected something.
But now that Lachlan had voluntarily told him, it was a different matter, representing Lachlan's trust in him.
"Lachlan, don't worry. I will keep this secret to myself. At least, it won't be leaked from me. This time, I will definitely deal with Wicked Bone and rescue my great niece," Kyrie said with a cold snort, his tone full of arrogance.
Seeing Kyrie's reaction, Lachlan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed that this elder brother of his could be relied upon.

On the other side, in the secluded mountains behind the secretive Willis family.
A courtyard where the Supreme Elder resided, two middle-aged men stood outside the gate.
"Atticus!"
"Nuno."
"We request an audience with the Supreme Elder!"
The two middle-aged men shouted, but their tone carried respect and caution.
Hua...
As the voice fell, the gate of the courtyard swung open on its own, revealing a spacious entrance.
"Come in!"
A deep, old voice resounded.
Atticus and Nuno exchanged glances and cautiously bent their waists as they walked in. Their faces carried a hint of unease and fear.
These two men had previously accompanied Kevin to the Goldheart Moon District.
After the battle in the valley, the two
of them had fled in different directions. At that time, the Nest of Malevolence had been activated by Vanaro so Lachlan didn't have the time to chase after them, allowing them to escape in triumph.
They didn't stay in the Goldheart Moon District any longer and returned directly to Priocia.
Half a minute later, in an ancient and quaint hall, the two men met Silas Willis, one of the Supreme Elders of the secretive Willis family.
Silas appeared spirited despite being over a hundred years old, looking as if he were only in his fifties. He sat there, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
The contours of his facial features bore a striking resemblance to Colt, the former leader of the Cobra Syndicate.
Thump! Thump!
Upon seeing the Supreme Elder, Atticus and Nuno both fell to their knees on the ground.
"Supreme Elder, we deserve death! We deserve death..."
"Please forgive us!"
Silas' face flickered, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Colt? Is it related to my grandson Colt?"
"You went to the Goldheart Moon District before to help Colt resolve some trouble. But where is Colt? Why hasn't my grandson returned?"
At this moment, Atticus swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. He spoke with a strained tone, "Colt... he... he's dead!"
As he said this, both he and Nuno knocked their heads on the ground repeatedly.
"Supreme Elder, please accept our condolences!"
"It's our incompetence that failed to protect Colt!"
"We deserve a thousand deaths. Please punish us, Supreme Elder..."
Upon hearing this terrible news, Silas sat there, trembling slightly, his eyes widening.
"What did you say? Colt is dead?"
"What happened? You few Golden Core experts couldn't retrieve my grandson from a group of miscellaneous rabble?"
"Why are only you two useless ones back? What about Colt? What about the others?"
The Supreme Elder of the secretive Willis family asked in a mix of grief, anger, and astonishment.
Colt was his most beloved grandson!
And yet... he died just like that?
Atticus's face was filled with fear, his
voice tinged with a sob, "Supreme Elder, the situation is extremely complicated. Colt... didn't die at the hands of the armed forces in the Goldheart Moon District. He died in the hands of... Wicked Bone's great-grandson, Kevin."
Atticus prostrated himself on the ground, speaking with genuine fear.
As the words fell, Silas's face displayed disbelief.
"What? He died at the hands of our own people? What exactly happened?"
With that, Atticus and Nuno, trembling with fear, but with a clear and organized account, recounted the events. During the battle in the valley facing Lachlan, who seemed invincible, Kevin chose to betray his own team.
Atticus and Nuno held deep grudges against him and would not cover up for him in the slightest.
