Chapter 596 Temporarily Cease Fire
Lachlan came home without any hesitation and called all of his family members out, speaking to them in a serious tone. "I may have to leave home for a while. If there's anything you need, you can ask the Graham family for help."
"Also, don't worry about Nora. I'll take care of it myself."
Huh?
Listening to Lachlan's somewhat eager words, the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Mason all had a startled expression on their faces. Only Miranda, who had known about this beforehand, remained relatively calm. However, a tinge of reluctance and resentment filled her beautiful eyes.
Lachlan sighed and told them every detail of what had happened today, with the purpose of making them understand the seriousness of the situation.
The place he was going to this time was naturally the Broken Pulse Sect. On one hand, he had promised Kyrie to join the Broken Pulse Sect, where Nora was currently located. On the other hand, the Broken Pulse Sect was an archenemy of the ancient Willis family. By joining the Broken Pulse Sect, he would have the support of the sect, giving him more confidence in dealing with the ancient Willis family.
After hearing the account from Miranda, the four of them stood there in silence for a long time without speaking. Miranda, this time, would not be going with Lachlan. Her strength now surpassed even Lachlan's, and she wanted to stay behind to protect her parents and younger brother. In addition, Miranda also wanted to be able to provide financial assistance to Lachlan in the future. The development of the company could not be abandoned.
As for Emmanuel, Cara, and Mason, their expressions became slightly grave after listening to Lachlan's narration. "You don't have to worry too much! People from the ancient realm wouldn't dare to harm ordinary folks like you!" Lachlan reassured.
"Miranda has gained power now, and the Graham family will also take care of you."
Lachlan consoled them.
"Lachlan, our concern is not about our own safety, but..." Emmanuel sighed and hesitated to continue. However, in the end, he didn't say anything more. The situation that Lachlan and Nora were about to face was so dire that they wouldn't stop Lachlan from going to the Broken Pulse Sect.
That night, Miranda, with a seductive charm surpassing the previous night, beckoned to Lachlan. Her beautiful face was now blushing, and her heart was filled with shyness. She had to adopt a strong posture even in such matters, seemingly determined to take the initiative.
At this moment, Miranda, like a queen, made Lachlan's heart race, wishing to prostrate himself at her feet and let her have her way. This time, it wasn't the influence of the evil spirit on Miranda, but the genuine and legitimate wife herself. Could Lachlan resist such temptation?
That night, the temperature in the room remained high. Afterwards, Miranda's blushing face didn't fade for a long time as she lay in Lachlan's embrace, her eyes reflecting a mix of happiness and a hint of melancholy. "Honey... When will you come back from the Broken Pulse Sect?" Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep reluctance.
Lachlan's heart filled with tenderness, and he softly said, "It won't be long. Maybe I'll be back soon. I'm just going to the Broken Pulse Sect to lay low and see how Nora is settling in. Once Nora is stable there and the ancient Willis family lies low, I will leave the Broken Pulse Sect. After all, I can't stay hidden there forever, relying on others for protection. I have to rely on my own strength to confront the ancient Willis family."
"Mmm," Miranda felt the man next to her exuding determination, confidence, and even a touch of heroism, and her beautiful eyes shimmered with a hint of admiration. She believed that her man would one day stand at the pinnacle of this world.
"Baby, do you think I can achieve an extraordinary state in one go?" However, in the next second, the previously domineering and heroic guy had a mischievous smile on his face and kissed Miranda's smooth forehead, asking, "Ah? What do you mean by achieving an extraordinary state?"
Miranda was momentarily stunned, like a little white rabbit, asking in confusion.
However, in the next second, she also understood. She lightly bit her tempting red lips and pinched Lachlan's chest. The usually cold and dominant goddess now had a coquettish and complaining look, stirring up Lachlan's desire.
He wanted to continue pampering her, but in the end, Lachlan restrained himself. Miranda was still inexperienced, and Lachlan's heart was filled with tenderness.
Meanwhile, in another place, a
arn
dilapidated temple in the mountains, a slender figure shrouded in a black cloak restrained their aura to the utmost. On that gloomy and thin face, there was an expression of seriousness and panic. This person was none other than the hig elder of the ancient Willis family, the trusted powerhouse of Maximus Willis, the man with white eyebrows, known as "Diretide," a formidable expert in the later stage of Nascent Soul.
But even such a person showed a hint of fear in their eyes at this moment.
By their side was Wicked Bone. It was with the help of Wicked Bone, which imprisoned Summer's soul, that they directly tracked Lachlan's whereabouts.
However, Diretide didn't personally take action and instead sent five Golden Core experts to test the waters. And as expected, the outcome was tragic. All five Golden Core experts were targeted by Orderwarden and met a miserable end.
"Orderwarden, this organization has been inactive for centuries!"
"The major ancient forces even suspected they had disappeared."
"Now it seems they're still around!"
"Still restricting the activities of people from the ancient realm in the mortal world."
"Damn it, in this case, how can I complete the task assigned by my master?"
Diretide's expression was ferocious, tinged with a hint of fear. If he had personally taken action earlier, he would have fallen into Orderwarden's hands by now.
Wicked Bone's gaze flickered, but he didn't dare to speak.
After a moment, Diretide contemplated for a while and made a call to Maximus.
"Diretide, how is it? Did you capture Lachlan?" Maximus asked with anticipation in his tone.
"Master, Orderwarden has appeared!" Diretide said in a solemn tone.
"What? Orderwarden?"
"They still exist?" Maximus' tone froze, filled with doubt.
"Yes!" Diretide reported everything that happened to Maximus in detail. After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Diretide's forehead started to sweat, sensing the pressure from his master. He knew he had failed this time. Would his master be furious?
However, in the next second,
Maximus chuckled lightly, "Diretide, you did the right thing. Having those five useless ones make a move to test if Orderwarden is still here is the correct approach. You are my right-hand man, and I cannot afford to lose you. Come back!"
"Master, how about I risk my life to capture Lachlan? Perhaps there will be a moment of oversight from Orderwarden," Diretide said fearfully and sincerely.
The elder, however, stopped him,
saying, "No! I said you are my
right-hand man. How can a mere Lachlan compare to your life? For now, Lachlan is still a worldly
person, right? If we act against him now Orderwarden will undoubtedly intervene. He's going to join the Broken Pulse Sect, isn't he? Let him join the sect and become a disciple of an ancientsect before we make our move. Come back!"
"Yes, master!"
