"Hehe, it's quite a coincidence. What brings you here?" Lachlan chuckled and gestured towards the row of corpses lined up nearby.
Lightless's eyelids twitched several times as he asked in a panicked tone, "You... you're Lachlan?"
At this moment, Black Star stood at a distance looking equally breathless.
After seeing Lachlan in person, both he and Lightless were thoroughly shocked.
Isn't this guy... the biggest dark horse from Clan Grand Competition?
He even managed to overpower Hudpids Sect's mid-Core Formation!
Not only that, on their way back, they witnessed firsthand just how powerful Lachlan's "background" was.
A Golden Core expert from the Wood family tried to intercept him but was directly crushed by an old man protecting him from behind.
At that time, not only they two, but also Black Moon Cult's young master were scared out of their wits. They repeatedly warned each other not to provoke this "Landon".
However now, how did this terrifying young powerhouse end up here?
"I am indeed Lachlan. Do you have any questions?" Lachlan nodded his head slightly.
Lightless swallowed hard and looked at both Emmanuel and Cara who had just gotten off with Lachlan earlier before asking cautiously, "You... are the Lowe family's new head? Is the Lowe family under your control now?"
Lachlan shook his head saying, "No it isn't mine but my father-in-law's. I know about NC Organization's grudge against the Lowe family but I believe we should let bygones be bygones."
Regarding the deaths in the Lowe family and the previous killings of many experts, Lachlan didn't care. He had no intention of seeking justice for the Lowe family. He only wanted the NC Organization to stop causing trouble for the Lowe family after his father-in-law took office.
Upon hearing this, Lightless was momentarily stunned, then a hint of excitement appeared on his face, as if he had heard something pleasantly surprising.
He nodded vigorously, saying, "Good! Good! It's better to resolve conflicts with enemies. We didn't know that the head of the Lowe family is now Mr. Graham... Oh no, Mr. Willis, your father-in-law. According to your wishes, let's consider this matter settled. Thank you, Mr. Willis, for not holding grudges and being understanding. Mr. Willis, please rest assured that the NC Organization will never interfere with Edoland in the future. If you need any assistance from us, feel free to ask."
When Lightless realized that Lachlan was Landon, he almost wet himself, fearing that Lachlan would hold him accountable.
Nathaniel had repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble in Edoland and to avoid provoking Landon. But now, he had foolishly provoked him.
If Lachlan decided to act, Lightless, as a peak-level expert in the Uppecia stage, would be nothing compared to him. Hearing Lachlan say it was settled, Lightless heaved a sigh of relief, feeling extremely fortunate. He understood that the Yuhdence branch had undoubtedly been wiped out for nothing, and Thunderstorm had died in vain. He didn't dare to seek revenge against Lachlan!
Hearing Lightless's words, Lachlan waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "I don't need your help. It's best if we keep our distance from each other."
Lachlan felt no goodwill towards the NC Organization. Their actions had been without any moral boundaries.
Upon hearing this, a tinge of embarrassment appeared on Lightless's face, and he awkwardly nodded, saying, "Okay! I understand..."
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers were incredibly captivating.
Had it been resolved just like that? The NC Organization's leader, who had previously been so domineering, threatening to wipe out the entire Lowe family, now appeared meek and obedient in front of Lachlan, like a submissive dog?
The situation seemed hopeless, with so many people fighting to the death. But after Lachlan arrived, with just a few words... it was settled?
Victoria was dumbfounded. The hysterical, deranged expression on her face from earlier seemed frozen in place. She had prepared herself to die with Lachlan, even behaving like a madwoman, venting her hatred towards him, much like a dying dog's final bark. However, after all her shouting and hysteria, it was all... a waste of emotions?
