Chapter 313 Release of Information
Matthias was explaining everything to Lachlan because he wanted him to compete on behalf of theGraham family.
In their eyes, Lachlan had a strong background and wouldn't be interested in participating as a lonecultivator. Being taken in by other hidden forces, Lachlan would definitely not be interested. Andnow it seemed that was indeed the case!
Despite being young, Lachlan had already reached mid-level Uppecia cultivation stage. Althoughhis aptitude seemed inferior to Savannah's, it was still good for his age. If he agreed to competeunder the name of the Graham family, they should be able to pass Clan Grand Competition's testwith both Savannah and him passing together and thus keep their family status!
As Matthias finished speaking, Lachlan just smiled without giving any indication of what he thoughtabout it all. After some contemplation though, Matthias offered him a deal, "30%! Mr. Willis, if youhelp us keep our status, then we will give you 30% of all resources obtained during cultivation."
Lachlan raised an eyebrow at this offer; it finally piqued his interest.
However, at this moment, Savannah looked unimpressed and said disdainfully, "Why should wegive him 30%? What can he do even if he goes? Dad didn't you say before that Ghost PlaqueSect's expert disabled him? He didn't even have the courage to fight me!"
She felt nothing but contempt towards Lachlan thinking that despite having connections, his talentwas dull and cowardly.
"Savannah, shut your mouth!" Raul used his authority as head of household while smilingapologetically at Lachlan, "What do you think?"
Lachlan shrugged noncommittally, "We'll see when the time comes."
Hearing this response made Savannah sneer even more contemptuously, thinking she had hit thenail on its head. This guy didn't have enough courage or skill for such competitions.
Meanwhile, Matthias and Raul were disappointed with how things turned out; perhaps Lachlanhadn't fully recovered from previous injuries yet...
...
In the afternoon, Lachlan left the Graham family with Nora. As soon as he got home, he received acall from Eduard.
"Eduard, what's up?" Lachlan answered.
"Lachlan, I have important information to tell you," Eduard said gravely. "It concerns you."
"Oh? What is it?" Lachlan was confused.
"I received reliable information that Deity's Tears has issued a kill order on you and has secretlysent several top assassins into the country to seek revenge for Hades and Dante Black," Eduardexplained. "One of these assassins is Lucifer, who is ranked number one on the international DeathList. He became a Divine Realm master five years ago."
Lachlan raised an eyebrow at this news. "Deity's Tears? That infamous organization with globalinfluence?"
"Yes," Eduard confirmed. "You killed two of their grandmasters when you escorted Conor to Iyloniolast time."
Eduard sounded guilty as he spoke about it; he felt responsible for dragging Lachlan into this messby asking him for escorting Conor.
"I remember," Lachlan said calmly.novelbin
"Lachlan, don't take this lightly!" Eduard warned him urgently. "Although your strength is formidable,these assassins are not easy opponents! And it's not just Deity's Tears, Skiola's Shadow Blade Sectseems to have also sent some high-level experts after you! They're seeking revenge for Sagi andMiyasaki whom you killed before. They were members of Shadow Blade Sect!"
Lachlan frowned at this new development; things were getting complicated now that another grouphad entered the fray besides Deity's Tears.
"You can't let your guard down!" Eduard continued seriously. "I suggest that during this time period,bring your family over here in my security zone where my troops will protect all of you! Even if bothDeity's Tears and Shadow Blade Sect are bold enough to come after us there, we won't let them getaway with anything."
Lachlan couldn't help but feel troubled by all of this news; not only did he have Deity's Tear comingafter him but now there was also Shadow Blade Sect involved too?
Although Lachlan wasn't worried about himself since his skills allowed him even fight against CoreFormation level masters, what worried him more was how his loved ones could be affected by allthese events happening around them.
It was impossible for him to be with Nora or Miranda 24/7, and he didn't even know when theexperts from Deity's Tears and Shadow Blade Sect would show up. Could he just sit around with hiswife and kid and not do anything?
After thinking for a few seconds, Lachlan spoke to Eduard in a serious tone, "Eduard, I appreciateyour kindness! However, I have my own way of dealing with this." After hanging up with Eduard,Lachlan immediately called Mason.
Deity's Tears and Shadow Blade Sect were coming after him but he had no idea where they were. Itwas like they were hiding in the shadows while he was out in the open!
Lachlan decided to release some information to lure them out while also getting himself out ofEdoland safely.
"Mason, help me spread the word that I'm heading to the Capital to seek revenge against the Austinfamily and the Britt family!"
Mason was shocked by what he heard from Lachlan. "Brother-in-law... are you really going throughwith this?"
"Don't worry about it. Just spread the message," replied Lachlan firmly.
Later that afternoon, news leaked from one of Mason's men that Lachlan was planning on seekingrevenge against the Austin family and the Britt family after his wife and child were almost killedyesterday.
Many people thought he was being too reckless by targeting two of the Capital's four major familieswho were known for their power and influence.
However, those who knew Lachlan believed he could actually pull it off!
At that moment in time at a meeting room within the Capital sat Lincoln Austin (Caelan's brother),Alexander (the current head of family), Aurora Austin (Lincoln's daughter) along with other coremembers all looking grim-faced as they discussed what had happened.
"I believe everyone knows about the news," said Alexander solemnly. "That arrogant fool! Does hereally think he can take on our family?" exclaimed Lincoln angrily.
"The power of our family is not something one person can shake," added Alexander confidently.
"Do you really think that just because our older brother compensated him before, the Austin familyis afraid of him?"
The Austin family in Capital!
Caelan, Lincoln Austin, Alexander who was the current head of the Austin family, Aurora Austin, andseveral core members of the Austin family were all seated in a conference room, their expressionsless than pleasant.
With Caelan's restored appearance and the shadows in his heart seemingly dissipating after allthese years, he had returned to the family and had been staying in the Capital during this time.
"The news, I believe everyone is aware of it," Alexander sat there, his tone somber.
"Hmph! Lachlan is too audacious. I refuse to believe that he would dare to attack our family!"
"The power of our family, how could it be easily shaken by him alone?"
"Does he really think that because our eldest brother made amends with him, our family is afraid ofhim?"
"If he dares to come, we won't be polite!"
"Yeah, if he comes looking for trouble, we'll make sure he never leaves."
The members of the Austin family spoke one after another with anger, confidence and dominance intheir tone.
They were used to feeling untouchable on this side of the Capital.
When they heard that someone dared to threaten the Austin family like this, they all felt that Lachlanwas overestimating himself.
"Dad, what do you think?" Alexander asked with a serious face.
Caelan shook his head and said to these younger members of the family word by word, "If Lachlanreally comes here to cause trouble, it's not him who will suffer. It's us who will be in big trouble."
He snorted coldly and continued, "Do you all think too highly of yourselves? Just because we areone of the four major families in the Capital doesn't mean we're invincible. Even Isa understoodbetter than you guys and has already fled!"
