Chapter 514 Let Us Know What Pain Feels Like?
Although Erik knew he was unlikely to win, he still wanted to try his best.
At least he wanted to show a strong and determined attitude, hoping that they would have some reservations.
Erik was unsure of Lachlan's exact strength, but he was definitely above Grandmaster level. And Emmett was also a Grandmaster-level expert! If they really fought, even if there were heavy casualties on their side, Anders had to consider whether or not it would be worth it for him to harm the enemy and hurt himself in the process.
So at this moment, Erik looked towards Lachlan and Emmett with a probing and questioning gaze.
Henry and others also looked at Lachlan and Emmett's reactions.
Facing Erik's gaze, Lachlan hesitated for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Ward, let them give us the hostages, and you can hand over the key. For now, let's not consider anything else!" Upon hearing this, Erik, Henry, Emmett, and everyone on their side couldn't help but be stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. The members of the Ward family in lylonio showed a smug smile and bursts of triumphant laughter.
"Erik, did you hear that? This young man by your side knows how to seize the opportunity!" Anders said with a smug grin.
"... Handsome boy, you're quite wise," mocked the enchanting woman from the Mountshifters with a few chuckles.
Erik's expression turned dark, his gaze at Lachlan flickering uncertainly, even mixed with a hint of suspicion. In his eyes, Lachlan was his last reliance, and he had even higher expectations for him than Emmett.
However, he didn't expect Lachlan to advise him to compromise directly, without even fighting for their side.
"Mr. Willis, what do you mean by this?" Henry directly questioned, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and blame.
"What I mean is, give them the key, and let's not consider anything else for now!" Lachlan said, looking at the somewhat unpleasant expressions of the people, then added, "The underground tomb may not necessarily hold a treasure. It might have something else..."
"Hmph! Erik, is the ally you found? Who besides me would genuinely help you? The smooth-talking person, regardless of his strength, has unreliable character! He compromises as soon as he sees the opponent has more experts?" Emmett coldly snorted, interrupting Lachlan's words, speaking with anger and disdain.
Lachlan frowned, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words. It was useless to say more to them now.
"Emmett, you really are a stubborn old man! What? Lachlan here has lost his nerve, and you still want to stand up for Erik, even at the cost of your life?" Edward sneered coldly at this moment.
With those words, Emmett's eyes widened in anger, and he took a step forward, shouting, "If you truly push things to the limit, I will make you pay the price today. Erik's request is not unreasonable. The treasures inside this underground tomb should rightfully have a share that belongs to him. If you refuse, even if I die here today, I will skin you and make you feel pain. You better think it through!" As he spoke, the old friend of Erik's emitted a powerful aura befitting a Grandmaster-level expert. However, the members of the Ward family all wore mocking and disdainful expressions.
In the next moment, Joseph snorted coldly, stomped his foot, and charged directly towards Emmett. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of him and threw a punch.
Emmett's face changed, and he quickly raised his arm to block. However, accompanied by a muffled sound, Emmett's body was sent flying. When he landed, he spewed out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with sorrow, anger, and shock.
"Hmph! Do you think you can make us feel pain? Do you have the strength for that?" Joseph coldly sneered at Emmett, his tone full of disdain and contempt.
"You..." Emmett's face turned red, a mixture of shock and anger, and a sense of powerlessness surged within him.
At this moment, Erik quickly walked over and helped Emmett up, saying, "Emmett... let it go...!" He then glanced in Lachlan's direction, shook his head with a touch of melancholy. In the next moment, he took out a quaint, palm-sized copper key from his body.
"The key is here! Give me Caleb and his wife, and I'll give you the key," Erik said through gritted teeth. "Today, I admit defeat!"
Upon hearing this, Anders brightened his eyes, laughed heartily, and wore a smug expression on his face.
"Erik, you should have done this earlier!"
"Edward, go bring Caleb and his wife over!"
He gestured with a victorious attitude.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Edward nodded with a smile and quickly left the hall.
As he left, he cast a cold glance towards Lachlan, a hint of ill intent in his eyes.
Next, everyone on Erik's side had an extremely unpleasant expression, hardly saying a word.
Especially, no one paid any attention to Lachlan anymore!
In a stifling and unusual atmosphere, Edward and several guards finally returned with a man and a woman.
"Grandpa! Henry, why are you here?"
The man in his early thirties was Caleb, Erik's eldest grandson.
"If I didn't come, wouldn't you have been harmed by Anders?"
Erik glanced coldly at Anders, then with a strong sense of unwillingness and resentment, he directly threw the key at Edward's feet.
The next moment, he greeted Caleb and his wife and said to everyone, "Let's go!"
Everyone from the Ward family in
lylonio, as well as the Cohen family
and Mountshifters, showed
expressions of triumph upon finally obtaining the key.
However, as Erik's group turned to leave, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait a minute!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Edward had an unfriendly look as he stared at Lachlan.
"What? Do you still want something?" Henry, seeing this, angrily questioned.
Erik's expression also turned dark as he looked at this so-called family, then turned to Anders and asked,
"Anders, we've given you the keynet
won't you let us leave? Are you really willing to disregard our longstanding relationship and exterminate us all?"
Anders shook his head, also with a questioning expression, and looked at Edward.
"Edward, is there something else? If
not, let Erik and the others go! After
all, they haven't gained anything
from this trip. Let's spare them, shall we? Hehehe..."
