As Caelan finished speaking, the faces of the Austin family were filled with shock and disbelief as they looked at their old patriarch.
"Grandfather, are you... joking? Can one Lachlan really bring disaster to our family?" asked a third-generation core member of the Austin family, looking disgruntled.
"That's right! Even if Lachlan is powerful, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Isa has already run away. What can he do?" Amelie, Isa's mother asked through gritted teeth.
Caelan said seriously, "If we don't make a statement as the family, it's not impossible that Lachlan will implicate other members of our clan in his anger! You may not know this yet but Lachlan holds Priocia Order and has unlimited counterattack rights! Who dares to harm him or his family's enemies; even if he kills them all, he won't be held responsible. Do you understand? Even if we use our political and military power in accordance with regulations against him as the Austin family, we cannot convict Lachlan."
After Caelan spoke, everyone from the Austin family showed expressions of doubt and uncertainty.
"But we also have many experts in our clan! Reeva has now broken through to become a grandmaster!" someone said unwillingly.
"Lachlan alone can kill all these so-called experts including me!" Reeva sighed bitterly at this point.
For a while afterward, there was an oppressive atmosphere inside the conference room. Everyone had an extremely ugly expression on their face.
After some time passed by, Caelan said heavily, "Immediately issue a public announcement expelling Isa from the family! In addition to that, expose any illegal acts committed by Isa before submitting them to the Capital Punishment Department for punishment issuing wanted orders against him!"
As soon as Caelan finished speaking, Alexander and Amelie turned pale instantly.
"Caelan! Are you... going too far?" Amelie questioned sorrowfully and resentfully.
Caelan snorted coldly, "Hmph! That scoundrel only cares about his own safety. Does he still care about the entire family? Do it my way; this is an order!"
"Yes," Alexander replied hoarsely nodding his head.
That evening...
Inside the Britt family's villa!
The Britt family patriarch Abel had an expression of disdainful contempt on his face when hearing how cowardly the Austin family was acting.
Kristina sneered, "Exactly! They were so scared that they issued a public announcement and expelled Isa from the family, even cooperating with the enforcement department to hunt him down?"
Darwin rolled his eyes. "Whether or not Lachlan dares to come to the Capital, even if he does, what kind of trouble can he stir up alone? The Austin family is making a big fuss over nothing!"
Abel, the head of the Britt family nodded and snorted coldly with a hint of caution in his tone.
"But Lachlan is indeed powerful. Even Butch Ghost's master died at his hands. We cannot be too complacent! Just to be safe, I will contact our family's forces in Jueham War Zone. If Lachlan really dares to cause trouble here, we'll have the military come and suppress him! I don't believe that no matter how arrogant he is, he would dare confront our country's violent machinery!"
"Kristina and Darwin," Abel continued as Kristina nodded in agreement. "You two stay at the family estate; I guarantee your safety."
"Thank you Dad," Kristina said gratefully.
Darwin chimed in with a laugh.
Upon hearing Abel's arrangement, they immediately became confident and fearless.
