Although Simeon and the others seemed carefree and nonchalant, Lachlan caught a glimpse of their worry in their eyes just now.
But he didn't ask any more questions!
This mission may involve some confidential information, and although he was a renowned general, it was still just "renown." Some things were better left unasked!
Besides, even those who truly belonged to the military didn't necessarily have the authority to know everything.
After a meal together, Lachlan's friendship with Simeon deepened even further. They both felt that they had similar personalities.
Simeon didn't have the air of arrogance that many children from prominent families had. When they first met, his dislike towards Lachlan was only because he was an "airborne" personnel.
But later on, Lachlan won him over with his strength. Simeon and all members of Dragon Sword Brigade admired him greatly.
During dinner, Lachlan also asked about "Fox" Sierra's situation since she and her master were the last people to see his parents alive. He still wanted to visit Sierra's sect someday to see if there were any clues left behind by his parents before they died.
However, Simeon said that Sierra had already returned to her sect; she was only a special consultant for Dragon Sword Brigade like Lachlan and not actually serving in the military.
On that evening, Lachlan and the others returned to the hotel room they had previously booked after playing until around ten o'clock.
Miranda was taking a shower in the bathroom, while Lachlan accompanied Nora, watching TV.
At that moment, his phone vibrated. Lachlan glanced at it, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. It was a message from Summer!
Upon learning that his parents had been brutally killed by Wicked Bone, Lachlan harbored a deep hatred towards them and the secretive Willis family.
He couldn't currently confront the ancient Willis family or even the secretive Willis family and Wicked Bone head-on. However, that didn't mean Lachlan couldn't do anything.
He had contacted Summer and instructed her to gather as much information as possible about the secretive Willis family and Wicked Bone.
This included any external companies or organizations associated with the secretive Willis family, the people working for them, and more.
After all, even ancient martial forces needed someone on the outside to help them accumulate wealth. The message Summer sent now contained information about the forces or companies secretly supported by the Willis family.
"Hexleaf Industries, Thousandstream Construction, Alpite Antiques, Goldheart Moon's Cobra Brigade..."
Lachlan looked at the information and silently repeated the names of these companies or forces related to the secretive Willis family. As he reached the end, a surge of air rushed through his nostrils.
"The Medical Business Alliance of Corlinet Delta? So this business organization is also connected to the secretive Willis family?"
A cold smile appeared on Lachlan's face as he muttered to himself. It seemed that fate had brought them together.
"Let's see what happens! The ancient Willis family, the secretive Willis family, Wicked Bone! I may not be able to confront you directly right now, but I don't mind finding some leverage through these lackeys you support!"
...
The next day, Simeon played the role of a gracious host and took Lachlan and his family to various places in Iylonio for sightseeing. It was their third day in Iylonio.
Lachlan contacted Erik and arranged to meet them at a hotel in Iylonio.
There, he met Erik and his entourage. Besides Erik, Henry and some of his subordinates from Edoland and the Ward family were also present. It was evident that Henry had brought all the skilled individuals he could.
Interestingly, Erik was accompanied by an older man who appeared to be around the same age as him, dressed in gray clothing. Upon observation, Lachlan realized the man was a Grandmaster-level expert. It seemed that despite losing influence in the family conflict, Erik still had some cards up his sleeve.
"Lachlan, so you've already arrived in Iylonio? Let me introduce you. This is my old friend, you can call him Mr. Perrin," Erik said with a smile after seeing Lachlan.
Emmett Perrin assessed Lachlan briefly, nodded slightly, and kept his attitude reserved.
"Mr. Willis!"
