Chapter 976: Surrounded by Experts, Acting Recklessly
In truth, it was only because Lachlan possessed the strength of a Mid-stage Hollow Void that he even had the chance to explain himself.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t even have the opportunity to defend themselves.
“May I ask, what kind of explanation do I need to provide?” Lachlan asked calmly and respectfully.
Sigmund Wynter’s expression flickered for a moment before he stared sharply at Lachlan. “Why were Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter tracking you? Is the lost Treasure Map of the Ancient Wynter Family and the Vermilion Bird Divine Ancestor Divine Feather in your possession?”
Upon hearing this, all members of the Ancient Wynter Family immediately tensed up.
Even Jerome Wynter locked his aura onto Lachlan.
The Ancient Wynter Family was currently in decline, with signs of fragmentation.
The Treasure Map and Divine Feather were said to be connected to a priceless treasure of the Wynter family.
Finding them could potentially change the family’s dire fate.
“Lachlan, do you have them?” Jerome Wynter asked in a deep voice.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lachlan smiled and nodded. “I do have a Treasure Map and a multicolored feather. But I don’t know if they are the ones lost by the Ancient Wynter Family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s breathing became more rapid.
Sigmund Wynter urgently said, “Hand them over! We won’t hold you accountable for Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter’s deaths.”
This time, Jerome Wynter frowned but remained silent. Even though Lachlan was his grandson, when it came to the interests of the entire Ancient Wynter Family, as the vice patriarch, he couldn’t openly oppose Sigmund Wynter.
At most, he wouldn’t join in pressuring Lachlan.
“Hand them over? Why should I? Whoever finds such items owns them, right? Do they have the name ‘Ancient Wynter Family’ written on them?” Lachlan sneered, clearly irritated by Sigmund Wynter’s aggressive stance.
Bang!
Sigmund Wynter slammed his chair and glared at Lachlan. “What did you say? How dare you claim the Ancient Wynter Family’s treasures?”
“I said whoever finds the Treasure Map and Divine Feather owns them. You can’t prove they belong to the Ancient Wynter Family. So what? Even if they are lost treasures of the Ancient Wynter Family, I have the family’s blood running through my veins. It’s only right for me to have them. Isn’t that reasonable?” Lachlan retorted with a cold smile.
Since the other party was being so rude, Lachlan saw no need to be polite either. Even though the family patriarch was technically his great-uncle, Lachlan didn’t care about that.
“Scoundrel! You’re courting death!” Sigmund Wynter growled through gritted teeth.
The high-ranking members of Sigmund Wynter’s faction also berated Lachlan.
“Boy, do you even know where you are?”
“How dare you act so arrogantly on Ancient Wynter Family territory?”
“You think you’re part of the Ancient Wynter Family? What right do you have to claim the Treasure Map and Divine Feather?”
“Hand them over, or don’t blame us for being rude!”
Faced with these accusations and threats, a powerful aura suddenly surged from Lachlan.
The pressure of a Mid-stage Hollow Void instantly spread throughout the room.
“Being rude to me? Fine! Let’s see how you plan to be rude!” Lachlan challenged disdainfully, unfazed by the many experts surrounding him.
Mid-stage Hollow Void was often just a smokescreen for his enemies.
Lachlan’s true combat power was now comparable to that of a Powerful Fragmented Void!
Especially with all his divine abilities ready for use.
“Brother, don’t act rashly! Please don’t!” Jerome Wynter quickly intervened to defuse the tense situation.
“Lachlan, don’t be impulsive. We can talk this out. We’re all family, what’s the point of this?” Jerome Wynter tried to mediate.
“Talk it out? Jerome Wynter, is this your good grandson?” Sigmund Wynter snorted coldly.
Jerome Wynter smiled bitterly and reminded him, “Brother, there’s something you might not know. Lachlan is one of the Seeds of the Star Path chosen by the Orderwarden organization. Even if he doesn’t hand over the Treasure Map and Divine Feather, you absolutely cannot harm him! Otherwise, the Orderwarden organization might destroy our entire Ancient Wynter Family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
Sigmund Wynter’s eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils contracting.
“Seed of the Star Path?”
The Ancient Wynter Family patriarch finally showed a hint of uncertainty and caution.
The Seed of the Star Path protection plan had been communicated by the Orderwarden organization to every ancient power.
As the head of the Ancient Wynter Family, Sigmund Wynter was well aware of the consequences of attacking a Seed of the Star Path.
So this was why this kid was so confident?
Sigmund Wynter gritted his teeth in hatred but felt helpless.
The next moment, his expression changed as he suddenly thought of something.
His eyes turned cold as he looked towards Terry Wynter and Stephanie Wynter’s group.
“A Seed of the Star Path? Fine! I indeed dare not harm you. But if I can’t harm you, does that mean I can’t harm them?”
