Chapter 595 Orderwarden
Chapter 595 Orderwarden
Whoosh!
Lachlan felt his body spin, and the next moment, a strange force brought him into the void.
Not far away, five black-clothed individuals were running desperately, occasionally glancing back as if they were afraid of something.
"Can they escape?" The old man sneered, his words filled with disdain.
Immediately, Lachlan saw the old man reach out into the void, and the five individuals let out a scream the next moment. Their bodies seemed to be instantly imprisoned by the surrounding air, leaving them suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
"Practitioners from the ancient realm are not allowed to act recklessly in the mundane world!"
"Come with me, all five of you."
As the old man's icy voice fell, the black-clothed individuals in front suddenly began to struggle violently, their eyes filled with unstoppable fear.
"It's an Orderwarden!"
"I don't want to go with you! It's better to die than to follow you!"
"Escape! Find any means to escape!"
The five individuals continued to struggle, but soon one figure broke free and turned into a golden light, fleeing into the distance without looking back. Hmph!
Seeing this scene, the old man snorted coldly.
With a wave of his whisk, a white radiance shot out, directly hitting the back of one of the black-clothed individuals. Ah! A miserable scream rang out as blood splattered, and a high-level Golden Core expert fell just like that.
Lachlan stood by, dumbfounded. Who was this old man?
As another expert fell, the remaining four became quiet, their eyes filled with despair, giving up on struggling.
The old man turned his head and looked at Lachlan. "Young friend, you handled this situation well."
"You prevented a greater calamity. Otherwise, some old undying thing would have criticized me for being incompetent."
The old man's expression changed quickly. When he looked at Lachlan, his face was already filled with a smile.
"May I ask, who are you, senior?" Lachlan cautiously asked the old man. Although he didn't know the old man's identity, his abilities were undoubtedly the most terrifying he had ever seen. Even if he used all of his trump cards, he might not be a match for him!
If the Dragon Ancestor's soul were to revive, perhaps he would have a chance to fight.
"Hehe." The old man chuckled lightly and spoke calmly, "The cultivation realm has regulations that prohibit individuals from the ancient realm from acting recklessly in the mundane world."
"As a result, a supervisory organization was formed, called the Orderwarden."
"And I, am one of the Orderwarden."
The old man's voice was calm but thunderous in Lachlan's ears.
Orderwarden?
This old man was one of the Orderwarden?
No wonder his strength was so formidable, giving him an unfathomable feeling!
But Lachlan quickly breathed a sigh of relief. With the presence of the Orderwarden and the death and capture of the five Golden Core experts, at least he didn't have to worry too much about powerful enemies targeting his family.
This temporarily lifted a burden from his heart.
At this moment, the old man waved his whisk, and he and the four black-clothed individuals disappeared directly into the air, leaving Lachlan alone in place, dumbfounded.
Ancient Willis family!
It must be the ancient Willis family!
The news about me obtaining the inheritance must have reached the ancient Willis family's ears.
It must have been that Wicked Bone who leaked the information!
Lachlan snorted inwardly and quickly disappeared from the spot.
When Lachlan returned to the Harris family, they had already recovered from the panic. Thanks to the spirit medicine given by Lachlan, Eduard had regained most of his physical strength, and his spirit had noticeably improved.
Upon seeing Lachlan, Eduard sighed deeply and smiled wryly, saying, "Mr. Willis, I owe you my life again."
"Mr. Harris, you exaggerate! It was because of me that you all got involved in this."
"I should be the one apologizing."
Lachlan was Sincerely grateful to
Eduard, who had always treated him well and took care of Miranda and the others. After exchanging pleasantries and ensuring that everyone was unharmed, Lachlan
hurriedly left with Mason.
Watching Lachlan's departing figure, Scarlet opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something to make him stay, but ultimately remained silent.
On the way, Mason, who was with his brother-in-law, took on the role of the driver. At this moment, Mason occasionally glanced at Lachlan while driving, wearing a hesitant expression. "Mason, what do you want to say?"
Lachlan noticed this and raised an eyebrow, asking.
As soon as the words fell, Mason's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he awkwardly said, "Brother-in-law, you and Scarlet..."
Lachlan immediately understood and wore a bitter smile on his face.
"Mason, don't overthink it. Scarlet and I have nothing between us. That woman was just talking nonsense earlier."
"How could I have any involvement with a woman you are interested in? Heh..."
Mason must have heard Ariel's words at the Harris family and probably harbored some resentment and suspicion. Lachlan had to explain.
"Well, I know that you wouldn't have any improper thoughts about Scarlet."
Upon hearing this, Mason laughed self-deprecatingly. "But just because you're not interested in her doesn' mean she's not interested in you, brother-in-law. Actually, I can sense that Scarlet seems different towards you."
swr
"Take this birthday incident, for example. If I hadn't said I would bring you along, she wouldn't have let me come. Ahem..."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's expression became somewhat peculiar.
Could it be that Scarlet really has some feelings for me?
But thinking about it, it didn't seem possible... it couldn't be.
The first time he woke her up from Conor's clutches and removed the malicious silver needles from her body, Scarlet had shown great enthusiasm towards him.
Although some misunderstandings arose between them later when he asked Eduard to help promote the "Lowe's Golden Wound Medicine," they had managed to resolve them. Moreover, he had saved her life from the hands of Sagi Fujino, a powerful individual from Skiola.
Although he had been a bit rough with Scarlet at the time, the two acts of saving her life... could it be?
As he pondered, Lachlan couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Mason, you're overthinking it. Scarlet probably just feels grateful for me saving her, nothing more. Don't think too much about it."
Lachlan coughed and advised his younger brother-in-law.
Mason shook his head self-deprecatingly and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Lachlan knew it was best not to say anything more.
Love was something that couldn't be forced.
If Scarlet didn't have feelings for Mason, Lachlan couldn't do anything about it.
All he could do was keep a distance from Scarlet.
