Chapter 448 Perhaps Only Him

Lachlan couldn't help but chuckle at Edward's words. "You want to see my account? You're really bored, aren't you? Are you going to complain about fairness again after seeing my account and say that personal assets don't mean anything in front of family power? And next, are you going to want to see my Priocia Decree?"

His tone turned cold as he spoke with a hint of dominance. "Remember this, there is no fairness in this world! Only fools pursue fairness! The strong will only make themselves an unfair existence for others." Edward was left speechless and his face twitched with anger. owns this text.

Kiera's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lachlan while Jude was visibly upset.

"Enough, Edward! Stop stirring up trouble!"

"Whether Lachlan and Kiera are a good match or not doesn't need your judgment! If you want Kiera to marry Jude, forget it! I won't let my granddaughter become a tool for your family's alliance!"

"If there is nothing else, you can leave now," Erik said sternly as his face darkened.

Erik's face turned serious, and he spoke bluntly to Edward, indicating that it was time for him to leave. Edward's expression fluctuated upon hearing this.

The next second, he took a deep breath, calmed his emotions and disordered breath, and said in a deep voice, "Erik, I have a message from my grandfather to deliver to you!"

"Speak!" Erik's face tensed, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Edward gritted his teeth and said, "My grandfather said that keeping that key in your hands will only bring disaster to your lineage and be of no use to you. He advises you to return the key to us for the benefit of everyone!"

Upon hearing this, Erik's face darkened instantly, and he angrily replied, "Return it to you? This key in my hands originally belongs to our lineage. How can I return it to you? Is your grandfather trying to threaten me? Go back and tell him not to bother! Hmph!"

"Rowan! Escort our guest out!"

After saying that, Erik waved his hand directly, giving the order to escort Edward out.

Edward's face showed various emotions, and in the end, his tone carried a hint of threat. "Erik, take care of yourself! Even if not for your own sake, consider others."

"Let's go!"

With those words, he covered his chest and, along with Jude and the others, left the Ward Residence unwillingly.

Lachlan stood on the side and picked up some clues from Erik and Edward's conversation. It seemed that Erik had something the Ward family in lylonio desired. However, as an outsider, he tactfully refrained from prying further.

After chatting for a while about other topics, Lachlan bid farewell as well.

After Lachlan left, Erik and Kiera had a solemn expression on their faces.

"Grandpa, what should we do? It seems that he can't let go of the key in your hands. This time, he even made threats. He might take action sooner or later. If they really pose a threat to our lineage, can we stand against them?" Kiera asked with concern.

Erik sat there with a solemn expression. The next moment, his tone changed as he looked at Kiera. "Kiera, any progress between you and Lachlan...?"

Hearing this, Kiera paused for a moment, a blush appearing on her lovely face. She awkwardly and embarrassedly said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? There's nothing between me and Lachlan. I'm just using him as a shield!"

Erik sighed involuntarily upon hearing her words. "If only there were something..."

Kiera's eyes sparkled as she looked at her grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, are you thinking... of asking Lachlan for help? Does he... have that ability?"

Erik pondered for a few seconds, neither confirming nor denying, "I don't know. But... you saw the strength he displayed just now! If they truly become a threat to our lineage, perhaps... only Lachlan can help us. This young man

Kiera pouted, "Grandpa, aren't you overestimating him?"

Erik smiled, sighed, and said, "Maybe... We'll see when the time comes! Hmph! If I have to make a choice, I would rather place a glimmer of hope in Lachlan than let my brother have his way!"

And at this moment, on the other side!

After Edward and Jude left the Ward Residence, they got into a top-of-the-line Audi A8L. Both of them had unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Edward still had a lingering look of horror on his face, while Jude was full of resentment.

"Mr. Ward, are you okay?" Jude asked with feigned concern.

In reality, Jude was somewhat disdainful of Edward, thinking that this guy always boasted about himself but turned out to be nothing special. He screamed once, and it made him cough up blood. What a pathetic loser...

"I'm fine!" The unhealthy flush on Edward's face had faded, and now he looked somewhat pale. The next second, he gritted his teeth and said, "Where did this Lachlan come from? What's his background? His strength is at least at the Grandmaster Realm. How come we've never heard of such a young Grandmaster before? When I get back, I'll definitely investigate this person thoroughly!"

Jude nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'll have our family look into this guy too! Damn it, this guy was acting so arrogant today."

They had hoped to humiliate this "rival" and give him a good beating, but instead, they ended up being thoroughly embarrassed by him...

After Lachlan left the Ward Residence, he brought Nora back home from Mason's in the afternoon. Despite being only five years old, Nora's physique had been transformed by Lachlan's training to a level comparable to a peak-stage cultivator.

The most noticeable change during this period was the significant increase in Nora's height.

It must be said that Nora was extremely intelligent, and after the initial stages of breathing and meditation training, she had already grasped the essence of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Lachlan was preparing to teach Nora the "Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra," the same cultivation technique he had once given to Reeva. In Lachlan's memory, it was considered an excellent technique.

Perhaps as Nora's own strength increased, it might also be effective in countering the curse within her.

After explaining some introductory concepts to Nora, Lachlan let her contemplate on her own. After all, she was still a young child, and her understanding might not be as good as an adult's, so it had to be taken slowly. Otherwise, it could potentially cause mental damage to Nora, as the cultivation process required intense concentration.

Just at that moment, Lachlan received a phone call.

It was from Raphael!

"Lachlan, you've made me very angry!"

As soon as Raphael connected the call, he launched into a barrage of accusations.
