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.
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 Iylonio 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!"
