According to the rules, Colt was supposed to be handled directly by Kamryn!
In other words, Lachlan, as a foreign cultivator, was merely an honorary Grand Marshal. They might have to face formidable opponents from the Willis family, led by a Golden Core expert.
Colt, being a crucial hostage, should be handed over to someone truly responsible and belonging to the military.
However, at this moment, Lachlan wanted to control this crucial hostage, which was not quite reasonable according to the rules. Even though he claimed that his wife and daughter had been captured by the other party, it was only Lachlan's one-sided statement.
Looking at it from another perspective, what if Lachlan betrayed them? Then Colt, the most important bargaining chip they had, would be in danger.
Therefore, when Kamryn heard Lachlan saying this, he can't help but frown. On the other hand, Phoebe, who already held a grudge against Lachlan, questioned him directly at this moment.
As soon as her words fell, Lachlan's gaze suddenly turned icy and sharp. It concerned Miranda and Nora, and he wouldn't back down in the slightest.
"I said, my wife and daughter have been kidnapped by that Kevin, didn't you hear me?" Lachlan glared at Phoebe, gritting his teeth and asking.
Phoebe snorted, "Your wife and daughter have been kidnapped? Who knows if it's true or not? What if you're a spy sent by the other side?"
Lachlan snorted as well, still holding onto Colt without any intention of letting go, and said each word clearly, "If you keep blabbering, I'll turn you into a spy! Do you believe me?"
Hearing this, Phoebe's expression changed! She clearly felt a tangible sense of killing intent, locking onto herself, which made her tremble deep in her heart.
She had thought that her strength now surpassed Lachlan's, but she was still intimidated by his killing intent! Perhaps, this was the reason she needed to gain more experience.
She calmed her mind for a moment, and a touch of anger and disdain appeared on her stunning face. She coldly laughed and asked, "Just relying on you? Lachlan, don't think I'm the same Phoebe from before, the one you could bully in Sacred Medicine Valley!"
"Hehe... Are you trying to bring up our personal grievances?" Lachlan squinted his eyes and asked.
How ridiculous! Did he bully her in Sacred Medicine Valley? It seems like she was the one who used him as a pawn and forced him to jump into the volcano, right? Everything should be based on strength! If her strength is lacking and he retaliates, it becomes him bullying her?
"I'm talking about the rules! Regardless, you're not qualified to handle this hostage. If you don't agree, then try to stop me with force," Phoebe provocatively raised her chin.
"I've said it, Colt must be in my hands! Anyone who tries to stop me, be prepared to fight," Lachlan said coldly, not giving an inch.
"Good! I want to see what qualifies you to be so domineering," Phoebe responded, not surprised but rather pleased. Her eyes flickered with a desire to take action, clearly wanting to fight Lachlan.
Seizing this opportunity to wipe away past humiliation!
