A Bentley Mulsanne with an Edoland license plate pulled up at the entrance of the Austin family estate.
Lachlan got out of the car and walked forward with a stern expression. His starry eyes glinted with sharpness, but he paused for a moment when he saw a wanted poster and notice posted on the gate.
After examining it, Lachlan sneered, "The Austin family sure knows how to play."
At that moment, the gate suddenly opened and several people stepped out. Caelan was at the forefront followed by Alexander, Amelie, Reeva and other key members of the Austin family.
"Lachlan! You're here!" Caelan greeted him politely with a gesture to come inside.
Alexander added jokingly, "Mr. Willis, you came from afar; we should have welcomed you properly!"
Lachlan snorted, "Caelan, you know why I'm here. Don't try to act like nothing happened."
Caelan sighed, "I know Isa deserves punishment for what he did but unfortunately he escaped two nights ago."
Lachlan smirked, "Did you guys let him go intentionally?"
The members of the Austin family were displeased by his words as they were all influential figures in the Capital city while Lachlan was just one person who dared to confront them so brazenly.
"What do you mean 'let him go'? Do we have any responsibility for babysitting my son?" Amelie pointed her finger at Lachlan angrily. "Willis! Don't be too arrogant! Do you even know where this is? This is the Austin family!"
Lachlan's starry eyes suddenly became sharp as dangerous light flickered within them.
Just then there was a loud slap sound.
Caelan slapped his daughter-in-law hard across the face. "Shut up! It's always the mother who spoils her son. If you had disciplined him properly, he wouldn't have ended up like this. That bastard knows he's in trouble but doesn't even have the courage to stay and face it! Has he thought about what consequences the rest of the family might suffer because of him?"
Reeva looked at Lachlan with pleading eyes. "Lachlan, you won't take your anger out on the entire family, will you?"
Caelan turned to Lachlan and spoke earnestly. "Lachlan, the Austin family has already disowned Isa and cut all ties with him. We even reported his past crimes ourselves and will cooperate with authorities to catch him."
Lachlan stared at Caelan intensely. "Caelan, I only have one question for you: Is Isa really no longer part of the Austin family?"
Caelan nodded firmly. "Yes, it's true! If you don't believe me, go in there yourself and look around. And if you do find him... I won't say a word if you tear that scumbag apart into a thousand pieces." He paused before adding softly, "I just hope... you won't act impulsively and hurt innocent people."
Hearing this exchange between Caelan and Lachlan made everyone tense up.
"Innocent? My daughter is only five years old. Did Isa think about her innocence when he tried to kill her?" Lachlan sneered coldly before continuing in a threatening tone, "This time I'll spare other members of your precious family because we used to be friends... but if I ever find out that anyone from your clan is still associated with Isa in any way... don't blame me for crushing everything here!"
His powerful voice echoed through every corner of their surroundings as an intimidating aura emanated from his body.
The members of the Austin family present were all angry after hearing Lachlan's words but they dared not speak out against such an imposing figure.
Caelan's expression changed several times, and he spoke with difficulty, "Alright, I have it in mind!"
Finally, Lachlan restrained his momentum, turned around, and got into the car.
Once he left, everyone from the Austin family let out a sigh of relief, followed by a series of cold snorts.
