Chapter 513 Kill You, We'll Take It Ourselves!

Erik, Henry, and Emmett looked at the formation of the Ward family in lylonio with anger and seriousness on their faces.

They seemed preoccupied today.

"Erik, did you bring the key?"

Anders, the old patriarch, faced Erik's mockery with apparent indifference, asking lightly.

Erik chuckled and surveyed the room before speaking in a deep voice, "Are the four Grandmasters from our family and Joseph Hall present?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the two groups of people on both sides, saying, "Have our old friends from the Cohen family and Mountshifters also arrived?" "Heh, so all of you are here today to help them deal with me, is that right?"

Erik's tone was filled with strong derision and anger. owns this text.

Joseph was, in fact, a mid-level Divine Realm expert, equivalent to the mid-level of Uppecia, and the strongest among the Ward family in lylonio.

The Cohen family and Mountshifters, on the other hand, were the acquaintances of Master Flame in the past.

Now, one became an ancient martial arts family, while the other became a tomb-raiding sect specializing in moving mountains and unearthing tombs, proficient not only in cultivation but also in mystical arts. Leading the Cohen family was a middle-aged man and a young man. The middle-aged man exuded a deep aura, while the young man had a sharp and proud temperament.

However, the latter's expression froze for a moment and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes upon seeing Lachlan.

"Hmm? It's him? How did this guy come here?"

"He actually survived the personal trials of the Clan Grand Competition last time? Did he just scrape by all the way?"

The young man from the Cohen family pondered inwardly.

Previously, during the Clan Grand Competition held at the Hudpids Sect, the Cohen family naturally sent talented individuals to participate.

The young man was one of the chosen disciples, but his abilities were limited. He gave up on the subsequent individual ranking trials and left the Hudpids Sect with the rest of the Cohen family members. As for Mountshifters, they were led by a tall and burly old man and an enchanting beauty.

The sturdy old man wore a vintage-style armor, which turned out to be a defensive magical tool.

Next to the alluring beauty was a giant man over two meters tall.

However, this giant man had a vacant look in his eyes, his skin turning blue, clearly not resembling a normal person.

Lachlan squinted and glanced at the enchanting beauty and the giant man, his expression subtly changing.

This giant man wasn't human at all!

He was, in fact, a corpse puppet crafted from a dead body!

At this moment, the sturdy old man from Mountshifters burst into laughter resembling the sound of bronze bell. "Hahaha, Erik, don't misunderstand us! We didn't come here specifically to help the boss deal with you. We just want to see What's inside Master Flame's tomb."

With that said, the enchanting beauty by his side followed up with a sly smile, "However, if anyone hinders us from exploring the tomb today, they will become our enemies! Kekeke..." "Erik, we've been old friends for many years. I hope you won't force us to turn hostile! Hand over the key!" said the middle-aged man from the Cohen family, looking at Erik expressionlessly. Seeing this scene, the Ward family members in lylonio revealed a hint of amusement and mockery.

"Hmph! Whether we hand over the key or not is the Ward family's business and seems unrelated to all of you," Henry retorted coldly to the group.

Erik gestured to his grandson, then took a deep breath and looked at Anders with a low voice, "Anders, I can give you the key today! But I have one condition!"

Seeing the formation of the Ward family today, Erik knew that not handing over the key was definitely not an option.

Not to mention the Ward family, even the members of the Cohen family and Mountshifters wouldn't let it go easily.

Since that was the case, it was better to strive for the greatest benefit directly.

Anders smiled without confirming or denying, "A condition? Tell me."

Erik's voice sank as he said, "Regardless of what's inside that tomb, my family should receive thirty percent! If you agree to this condition, I will hand over the key!"

As soon as his words fell, Anders burst into hearty laughter, his face carrying a hint of mockery as he looked at his younger brother.

"Erik, do you think that's even possible? When you left lylonio with your branch, it meant you had separated from the family. What does the legacy left by Master Flame have to do with you?" Upon hearing this, Erik gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I leave lylonio, I am still a member of the Ward family."

"Hmph! Spare me the nonsense! As

elhet

a gesture, I have already rescued Caleb and his wife from the hands of those bandits! Hand over the key, and I will hand the people over to you. This condition is already sufficient. Otherwise, I can have them delivered back to the desperadoes at any time, and I won't care if they live or die!" Anders said without a doubt, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

Upon hearing these words, Erik, Henry, and the others' faces turned pale.

In the next moment, Joseph looked

at Erik's group with disdain and

sneered, "Erik, can't you see the current situation? What right do you have to negotiate with the family? Is it useful for you to withhold the key? Even if we kill you, we can still find it on your body. We haven't laid a hand on you yet because of the past family relations. Don't force your brother, don't force us! And don't force the old friends of the Cohen family and Mountshifters! Otherwise, what kind of storm can you stir up with this group of nobodies?" The Divine Realm expert pointed at the

people around Erik with a

contemptuous expression.

As his words fell, Erik's face flushed with anger.

In the next moment, he looked at his elder brother and asked word by word, "Is that so? If I don't hand over the key, will you kill me?"

"Erik, don't force me! To prevent the decline of the entire family, this underground tomb must be opened!" Anders said with a gloomy expression.

Erik's face was filled with mockery upon hearing this. They were from the same roots, yet they were about to fight each other for the possible treasure left by Master Flame. "Grandpa, what should we do?" At this moment, Henry, clenching his fists tightly, shouted to his grandfather with gritted teeth.

Erik took a deep breath and said to Anders, "Bring out Caleb and his wife first. I need to at least see if they are still alive, right?"

"Show me the key, and I'll let you see them. Don't worry, Caleb and his wife are fine," Anders said expressionlessly.

"You..." Erik was infuriated, his eyes wide open. In the next moment, he turned his head and looked at Emmett and Lachlan beside him, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Today, these two were his biggest trump cards and reliance. He hoped that by cooperating with Lachlan and Emmett, he could fight for some benefits.
