Lachlan sat alone in a car with Kyrie, heading straight to a place called Vanatown in the western part of Sutroydor. Kyrie's senior disciple, Darius, and several other followers were in two other cars, also keeping an eye on the hostage named Kevin.
Previously, Wicked Bone had told Lachlan to meet him in Sutroydor West. He was likely cautious and didn't give the specific location, just a general idea of this place.
"Lachlan, are you saying that my great niece has fallen into the hands of an elder from the secretive Willis family?" Kyrie asked in a deep voice.
Over the phone, Lachlan briefly explained the situation, but he didn't have many details.
"Yes, Kyrie. Wicked Bone is a formidable cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, but I don't know if he will bring other helpers from the Willis family. It concerns Nora, so I have no choice but to trouble you again," Lachlan nodded, seeming somewhat embarrassed.
Kyrie sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Lachlan, what are you saying? We're sworn brothers. How can I stand idly by when my niece has fallen into the hands of villains? Don't worry, isn't he just a trashy early Nascent Soul cultivator? He's no match for us!"
"Yes, but Wicked Bone, besides being a Nascent Soul expert, is also knowledgeable in various unorthodox techniques. We should be cautious," Lachlan nodded.
Speaking of this, the great witch doctor chuckled coldly, "Unorthodox techniques? Heh, I know them too. Don't worry!"
Then, his tone changed, and he looked at Lachlan, asking tentatively, "Lachlan, why does he want you to go there and what does he aim to achieve by using my great niece as leverage?"
Upon hearing Kyrie's question, Lachlan pondered for two seconds and finally said in a deep voice, "Kyrie, I won't hide it from you! Wicked Bone's goal is the inheritance within me."
"Inheritance?" Kyrie's face twitched, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"That's right! The ancient Willis family has passed down a Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant for generations, and it contains an unparalleled inheritance. I have obtained this inheritance. Wicked Bone's objective is the legacy within my mind."
Lachlan, who was driving, turned his head and glanced at Kyrie, wanting to see his reaction.
After considering it, he decided to reveal this secret to Kyrie. After all, Wicked Bone already knew about this secret within him, and it would likely be revealed to the world sooner or later. Now that he was seeking Kyrie's help, it was the same thing to keep it hidden from him.
By speaking out, he could also demonstrate his sincerity. Of course, Lachlan admitted that he was taking a gamble.
After hearing Lachlan's words, Kyrie slowly nodded and looked at Lachlan with a glimmer of satisfaction and amusement in his eyes.
In fact, Kyrie had already suspected something.
But now that Lachlan had voluntarily told him, it was a different matter, representing Lachlan's trust in him.
"Lachlan, don't worry. I will keep this secret to myself. At least, it won't be leaked from me. This time, I will definitely deal with Wicked Bone and rescue my great niece," Kyrie said with a cold snort, his tone full of arrogance.
Seeing Kyrie's reaction, Lachlan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed that this elder brother of his could be relied upon.
He wasn't driven by personal gain!
...
On the other side, in the secluded mountains behind the secretive Willis family.
A courtyard where the Supreme Elder resided, two middle-aged men stood outside the gate.
"Atticus!"
"Nuno."
"We request an audience with the Supreme Elder!"
The two middle-aged men shouted, but their tone carried respect and caution.
Hua...
As the voice fell, the gate of the courtyard swung open on its own, revealing a spacious entrance.
"Come in!"
