Chapter 975: That Person is Me
“The disappearance of the two masters from the Wynter family is indeed related to that person! But it’s hard to say if it was done by that person.”
Terry Wynter carefully chose his words, speaking with trepidation.
Their Wynter family could barely be considered a hidden power, but in front of the Ancient Wynter Family, especially facing someone like Sigmund Wynter who was in the Hollow Void Realm, they felt as insignificant as ants.
“I ask you, who is that person?”
Sigmund Wynter asked coldly.
A terrifying pressure enveloped Terry Wynter.
Terry Wynter felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his expression showing hesitation and struggle.
He was deeply grateful to that person.
If it weren’t for that person, his daughter Stephanie Wynter would have long been harmed by the Ghost Plaque Sect.
So unless absolutely necessary, he would never betray that person.
But now, facing the Ancient Wynter Family, he had no other choice.
“Dad! Don’t say it!”
Stephanie Wynter looked at her father, shaking her head desperately.
The Ancient Wynter Family was so powerful that if they knew their masters indirectly died at Lachlan’s hands, they would definitely hunt Lachlan down worldwide.
Not only would Lachlan be found and captured…
The consequences were unimaginable!
“Stephanie, if I don’t say it, our whole family will suffer!
Consider it my apology to him.”
Terry Wynter gave a bitter smile, showing deep helplessness.
Although the Ancient Wynter Family said they were also part of the family,
Would they really treat them as family?
If he didn’t speak, no one could guarantee that the Ancient Wynter Family wouldn’t wipe out their branch.
“Speak! Tell us what happened, and everything will be fine!”
At this moment, Jerome Wynter advised.
“That person is called…”
Terry Wynter nodded and was about to say Lachlan’s name.
Stephanie Wynter kept shaking her head, but it couldn’t change anything.
However, at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
“That person is me!”
Whoosh!
Before the words had even settled, Lachlan’s figure had already disappeared from where he stood and appeared in front of Stephanie Wynter and Terry Wynter.
He stood there, looking at Sigmund Wynter and the others with a calm expression.
Wow!
At this moment, the entire reception hall fell silent for a moment before erupting into an uproar.
“Lachlan, you…”
Pandora Wynter looked at Lachlan in astonishment.
Jerome Wynter frowned, unable to understand the situation.
Sigmund Wynter and the other masters from the Wynter family instantly locked their gazes on Lachlan.
“Lachlan!”
Stephanie Wynter was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lachlan, she instinctively shouted with joy.
Then she suddenly thought of something, stood up, grabbed Lachlan’s arm, and urged anxiously, “Lachlan, why are you here? You need to leave quickly!”
Terry Wynter and the other members of the Wynter family also showed expressions of shock upon seeing Lachlan.
Terry Wynter’s face changed several times before he shook his head with a trace of guilt. “Lachlan, I’m sorry…”
Lachlan smiled faintly at Stephanie Wynter. He hadn’t expected this girl to care so much about him.
He patted her hand. “It’s okay!”
“Hmph, leave? Can he leave?”
Sigmund Wynter snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Lachlan.
Deep in his eyes, there was a flash of uncertainty.
Mid-stage Hollow Void?
This kid turned out to be a master at the Mid-stage Hollow Void level.
When Lachlan followed Vice Patriarch Jerome Wynter and the others in earlier, he had concealed his aura so well that Sigmund Wynter and the others hadn’t noticed him immediately.
“Leave? I never said I wanted to leave!”
Lachlan smiled indifferently and pointed at Stephanie Wynter and the others. “Alright, this matter has nothing to do with their family. If there’s anything, come at me.”
“Come at you? So you’re saying Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter were killed by you?”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sigmund Wynter asked coldly with a stern expression.
“Lachlan, you…”
“Big brother, wait a minute! Lachlan is my grandson, there must be some misunderstanding!”
Jerome Wynter looked at Lachlan with confusion and then spoke to Sigmund Wynter.
“Your grandson? Jerome Wynter, I’ve never heard you mention having such a grandson.”
Sigmund Wynter sneered with a look of doubt.
“We’ll talk about that later. Let Lachlan explain first!”
Jerome Wynter’s eyes flickered as he looked at Lachlan with confusion.
Lachlan smiled. “Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll explain!
The two masters from the Ancient Wynter Family died because of someone from the Ancient Willis family.
That day, a peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ancient Willis family chased me to Summer Sea Manor. Coincidentally, he encountered two people from the Ancient Wynter Family…”
Lachlan recounted the events.
The Ancient Willis family’s Shadow Dread and Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter all had him as their target.
So a conflict broke out!
In the end, Shadow Dread perished!
Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter fought to mutual destruction and were severely injured and dying.
Later, when Lachlan asked about the Treasure Map and Divine Feather’s purpose, due to the pride of Nascent Soul cultivators, they chose to end their own lives directly.
“That’s what happened!
I admit that their deaths are somewhat related to me.
But it shouldn’t be considered a major connection, right?”
After finishing his explanation, Lachlan asked in a low tone.
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Ancient Wynter Family present exchanged glances with each other.
Many of them looked at Patriarch Sigmund Wynter as if waiting for his decision on how to deal with Lachlan!
“Alright then. Since it’s a misunderstanding and Lachlan didn’t know any better,
Let’s let this matter pass.”
Jerome Wynter waved his hand dismissively, trying to resolve the situation for Lachlan.
However, Sigmund Wynter snorted coldly. “Just let it pass? Our masters died tragically, how can we just let it pass?
Jerome Wynter, I only gave him a chance to explain because you said he’s your grandson.
Even if Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter didn’t die directly because of him, he’s still connected to their deaths!
We must give an explanation to Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter in their graves!”
