Kevin laughed as if he had heard a joke, mocking and taunting Lachlan. He thought Lachlan was just fooling around. But this poor guy was unlucky enough to make up a place to buy some time.
However, it turned out he accidentally mentioned the Goldheart Moon District. He happened to be taking someone there himself. Kevin believed he had exposed Lachlan's lie.
However, upon hearing this, Lachlan's mind quickly turned, and he vaguely guessed something. He was also coming to the Goldheart Moon District? In that moment, Lachlan connected many dots in his mind.
His first reaction was a sudden realization of who wanted to harm his wife and daughter, with himself as the ultimate target-Xander! It should be him.
Summer had provided him with information about the organization supported by the hidden Willis family, the Medical Business Alliance of Corlinet Delta. So, it made sense that the other party could be involved with skilled members of the hidden Willis family. And coincidentally, the other party threatened to come to the Goldheart Moon District. The identity of this person seemed to become apparent!
"Your family name is Willis, right?" Lachlan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
The mocking laughter on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped after Lachlan asked that question. Kevin stared blankly, with a look of astonishment, and there was no movement from his phone for a moment.
"Your name is Kevin! You're a member of the hidden Willis family, aren't you?" Lachlan asked again.
This time, Kevin's expression completely turned into shock and disbelief.
"How do you know?" he asked coldly, his tone filled with suspicion.
In an instant, it seemed like the situation had shifted from being proactive to passive. Kevin's mind, still under the influence of the drugs he had taken, became somewhat confused.
"I really am in the Goldheart Moon District! And I can tell you that Colt is in my hands right now! If you don't want him to die, don't harm a single hair on my wife and child! Can you... understand?" Lachlan said sternly.
After Lachlan's words fell, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Then, a frustrated and angry voice erupted.
"What the f***! Who do you think you're fooling? Colt is in your hands? Do you think I'll believe that?"
"Don't believe it? If he's not in my hands, how would I know about Colt? Just wait a moment, and I'll make you see!" Lachlan sneered.
From the tone of the other party, he could sense that they cared about Colt. That gave him leverage. He wouldn't be completely passive.
Saying that, Lachlan turned and walked into the tent, his expression terrifying, heading towards Colt.
"Lachlan, what are you doing? He's still useful!" Kamryn saw Lachlan's posture and his face changed suddenly. He asked in shock.
Colt, looking at the young man who had crippled him, showed a panic and fearful expression.
"What are you going to do? Don't... don't do anything reckless!" Colt asked, trembling.
Lachlan lifted Colt up and faced Kamryn, saying, "Of course, he's still useful!"
He then brought the phone close to Colt's mouth and said in a chilling tone, "Speak!"
"What... what should I say?" Colt asked, confused and trembling.
"It's Kevin on the phone! Tell him that if he doesn't want you dead, he better not do anything reckless!" Lachlan said each word distinctly.
