After hearing the name Cobra Syndicate, Lachlan made a decision.
A glimmer of hatred flickered in his eyes. He knew he couldn't directly retaliate against the Willis family, but he could do something about their supported forces. It was time to slowly take back some interest.
At this moment, Moises continued, "This matter is somewhat peculiar! As you know, the Goldheart Moon District is another emerging 'poison zone' in the world, aside from the triangular area near Southeast Gorge. It is also located in the border area between three countries. Both the Cobra Syndicate and the Fiercetalon Armed Syndicate are engaged in cultivation, drug production, and trafficking, committing numerous crimes. Among them, many key members and leaders of the Cobra Syndicate are from Priocia."
"After this incident, the Cobra Syndicate unexpectedly surrendered to our border troops, turning over a large quantity of drugs and promising to return to the country for trial. They also handed over the Enigma Ruins to the Priocia authorities. As a condition, they want to seek asylum within our military and jointly confront the Fiercetalon and the Deity's Tears organization they have hired."
Lachlan nodded and said, "Heh, perhaps they fear death? After all, there might be a glimmer of hope if they return and surrender willingly. But if they can't withstand the forces of the Fiercetalon and the Deity's Tears, they will likely meet a gruesome end."
Moises nodded in agreement, "That's probably their consideration. The current situation is that the Deity's Tears has already sent people and had one battle with our military and the Cobra Syndicate, but we managed to repel them. It was a costly victory, inflicting significant casualties on both sides. We're concerned that the Fiercetalon and Deity's Tears won't give up easily, especially considering that Deity's Tears might send even stronger experts. At that time, the situation could become extremely dangerous. Therefore, Iylonio is preparing to send the Dragon Sword Brigade in advance, including practitioners like you, to ensure we can control the ruins."
At this point, Moises hinted meaningfully, "According to intelligence, that mysterious ruin holds opportunities beneficial to practitioners. If you participate in this mission, you naturally gain the right to explore the site. So, Lachlan, what do you think now?"
Lachlan coughed a few times and said earnestly, "Mr. Wagner, I don't really care about the opportunities or lack thereof. What matters to me is that I want to do something for the country."
After Lachlan's words fell, Moises laughed heartily, "You little brat..."
Moises only believed that Lachlan was going for the ruins, unaware that Lachlan's true objective was the Cobra Syndicate. After giving some further instructions, Moises let Lachlan leave.
They agreed to meet the day after tomorrow, and Lachlan would join the mission. After parting ways with Moises, Lachlan made two phone calls, one to Miranda and the other to Nora.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Simeon was still taking Nora to visit the park, while Miranda was discussing cooperation with Hazel.
Lachlan first went to pick up Nora and then headed to the business hotel to meet Miranda.
That evening, they were in the suite of the hotel where they were stationed in Iylonio.
Nora had spent almost the entire day playing with Simeon, and now that her excitement had worn off, she was already asleep in the bedroom.
"How was your day? Did you manage to resolve things for Erik?" Miranda asked, leaning against Lachlan in the living room.
"Yeah, I took care of the Ward family in Iylonio. It went pretty smoothly. When your husband takes action, there's hardly any suspense, heh..." Lachlan nodded and chuckled.
