Lachlan was surprised and speechless when he heard the woman in front of him speak.
Scarlet had a good impression of him? This was beyond Lachlan's expectations. But then again, he had saved the rich girl twice, even though she seemed to be unhappy with him on the surface. It was possible that she might have developed some feelings for him.
But if that were true...
Lachlan shook his head silently and glanced towards Mason in the hall. This was the woman his brother-in-law liked, so how could she have feelings for him? As for this woman named Ariel who said he wanted to climb up to the Harris family, Lachlan didn't know what to say.
He didn't have any thoughts about Scarlet at all!
"Hmm?" Ariel raised her eyebrows.
Lachlan's reaction caught her off guard for a moment! According to reason, he shouldn't get angry so easily after being mocked like that. Shouldn't he either retort or leave humiliated? His response was truly unexpected.
It made her feel like her expressions were in vain, shouting for so long but being ignored...
At this moment, she saw Lachlan sizing up Ariel, pursing his lips and saying, "Are you done talking? Let me add a few words."
"I see that your forehead is dark, and if nothing unexpected happens, you should experience a calamity soon!"
"I advise you to restrain yourself in the near future, or else you'll be in trouble."
Upon hearing Lachlan's words, Ariel was momentarily stunned, but soon burst into laughter.
"I never expected that this freeloading son-in-law is actually a trickster!"
"A calamity? Are you planning to harm me? Do you know where we are?"
"This is the residence of Eduard, the Commander-in-Chief of the Edoland Security Forces. If you dare to lay a hand on me, believe me, you'll be taken down immediately!"
Ariel clearly misunderstood Lachlan's meaning; she thought the calamity he mentioned was directed at her. Chuckling lightly, Lachlan shook his head and fell silent.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I've said what I wanted to say."
In Lachlan's eyes, Ariel's forehead turning red and black was an obvious sign of imminent disaster!
On this point, Lachlan wasn't bluffing her!
"Lachlan, is this true?" Scarlet, on the other hand, fully believed Lachlan's words and cautiously asked him with a worried expression.
Just then, Mason, who had been observing from a distance, squeezed through the crowd and his expression was even more grave than Scarlet's.
Mason knew about Lachlan's abilities, so if he said something like that, there must be a reason behind it.
Lachlan nodded and was about to speak again when he suddenly noticed a black aura gathering above Scarlet's forehead.
This black aura appeared out of nowhere, as if it had suddenly manifested.
Turning his head, he saw it above Mason's head too!
Something was wrong!
Lachlan felt a sense of doubt and immediately stood up, his spirit heightened to the extreme, as he began to search carefully around.
The area around the Harris family was eerily quiet, with many guards constantly patrolling, and Lachlan even noticed the presence of several hidden sentinels.
No danger? Then how could all of this be explained?
If it had been just Ariel, it would have been fine, but now both Scarlet and Mason, along with many others inside the house, were experiencing the signs of a calamity.
"Everyone, find a safe place to gather. There may be danger!"
There was no time to think about it, Lachlan shouted at everyone.
As his voice fell, the surroundings instantly became noisy, with everyone staring at Lachlan, not knowing what he meant.
Some were skeptical, some were surprised, and some were dismissive...
"Hahaha, you all really believe in this trickster Lachlan?"
"What nonsense calamity! I think he just wants to create a mysterious atmosphere and gain attention!"
The crowd quickly descended into chaos.
It seemed that the disaster Lachlan had just seen on Ariel and the others had unfolded before his eyes.
Lachlan snorted coldly and spoke in a cold voice to the black-clad individuals, "Who are you?"
As his voice fell, a powerful aura emanated from within him.
Unlike his casual attitude towards Ariel earlier, the current Lachlan exuded a domineering and sharp temperament from head to toe.
As soon as the aura erupted, the black-clad individuals on the opposite side immediately halted their steps.
After exchanging glances, the five of them quickly adjusted their positions and started forming a formation!
"Our master ordered us to capture Lachlan alive!"
A cold shout resounded, and the momentum of the five individuals increased even further after completing the formation!
Without hesitation, they charged straight towards Lachlan.
Their master had only ordered them to capture Lachlan alive, but he hadn't said anything about not causing harm!
The five individuals didn't hold back!
Facing this situation, Lachlan could only hurriedly push Scarlet and Mason to a safe distance with a palm and rushed out of the hall alone, instantly engaging in a fierce battle with the five individuals outside.
Although Lachlan was currently in the early stage of Golden Core, his strength was comparable to the late stage of Golden Core!
Withstanding the powerful fluctuations coming from Lachlan and the others, everyone present widened their eyes, watching in disbelief at this scene!
What on earth was happening?
Ariel, who had been knocked back and weakened, also felt shocked in her heart!
The current Lachlan gave her a completely different feeling!
