Chapter 969: Mother’s Sister?
Eason Jenkin asked this question, and the two exchanged a glance, both coming to a similar suspicion.
“There is a deadly Feng Shui array set up in this ancient tomb, and the Fortune-Altering Divine Object was likely taken by the person who set up the array. And the person Lachlan was chasing before was…”
Pandora Wynter analyzed.
“Exactly! So, should we go ask that young man?” Eason Jenkin said cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Pandora Wynter’s expression turned serious.
They had witnessed Lachlan kill a Corpse King with strength comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage with a single punch, knowing that his power was far beyond theirs. Asking someone like him about the whereabouts of a treasure felt like negotiating with a tiger. It was likely to be a very dangerous endeavor.
However, instinctively, Pandora Wynter felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Lachlan.
“Alright! Let’s go ask him. Although this young man is powerful, he has a kind heart and repeatedly warned everyone about the dangers inside the tomb. He probably won’t blame us.”
Pandora Wynter nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Lachlan activated his divine sight, observing every move and word of Eason Jenkin and Pandora Wynter. Various questions arose in his mind.
For the sake of their family’s fortune? Which family are they from? And that woman named Pandora, who looks so much like his mother, what is her relationship to her?
Lachlan pondered these questions, quietly waiting.
Moments later, Eason Jenkin and Pandora Wynter searched through the camp in the valley and finally found where Lachlan was.
Lachlan ended his divine sight and opened his eyes to look at them, asking calmly, “Are you looking for me?”
Pandora Wynter and Eason Jenkin exchanged a glance, and Pandora smiled at Lachlan, saying, “Mr. Lachlan, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Pandora Wynter, from an ancient family known as the Ancient Wynter Family. With your strength, you must be aware of ancient families, right?”
As she finished speaking, a look of surprise and excitement flashed deep in Lachlan’s eyes.
Pandora Wynter? She also has the surname Wynter! And his mother was named Aliya Wynter. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
“What can I do for you?” Lachlan asked calmly, hiding his surprise.
Pandora Wynter carefully chose her words and asked, “Did you manage to catch the villain who set up the deadly array earlier?”
“I did! I killed him,” Lachlan nodded.
“Then, did you find anything on him?” Pandora Wynter probed further.
The next second, she smiled awkwardly and decided to be straightforward.
“It’s like this, it’s rumored that this ancient tomb is the true resting place of the sage Spike Keller from over three thousand years ago. He supposedly carried a Fortune-Altering Divine Object that could even change the fate of a nation. But now, that object is missing. We suspect that the villain who set up the deadly array might have had it. Since you killed him, did you see that treasure?”
Lachlan smiled and nodded, “To be honest, the Fortune-Altering Divine Object is with me. Why? Are you planning to take it from me?”
Strength determines confidence! Lachlan wasn’t afraid to let them know. Even if they coveted it, they needed the strength to take it.
Upon hearing this, Pandora Wynter and Eason Jenkin exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up.

Eason Jenkin quickly waved his hand and smiled, “Don’t misunderstand! It’s just that this treasure is of great significance to our Ancient Wynter Family. Could you lend it to us? We only need to use it to help reverse our family’s misfortune. We promise to return it afterward.”
Hearing this, Lachlan smiled faintly, “Borrow it and return it?”
Pandora Wynter and Eason Jenkin’s faces froze for a moment upon hearing this and quickly assured him repeatedly.
Lachlan waved his hand dismissively and instead focused on Pandora Wynter, asking, “Madam… may I ask you a question first? If your answer satisfies me, I’ll lend you the Fortune-Altering Divine Object.”
“What question?” Pandora Wynter’s eyes lit up as she asked eagerly.
“Do you know Aliya Wynter?” Lachlan asked seriously, word by word.
“Aliya Wynter? Which Aliya Wynter?” Pandora stammered in surprise. “I… I know an Aliya Wynter! She… she’s my sister! My biological sister! Which Aliya Wynter are you talking about? Where is she?”
Hearing this name, Pandora Wynter’s eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling with emotion.
Lachlan felt a wave of emotion surge within him. The next second, he took a deep breath and retrieved an old photograph from his Space Bracelet, a family photo taken with his parents. In the photo, his mother Aliya Wynter looked gentle and beautiful. Every time he looked at this photo, Lachlan’s eyes would well up with tears.
“This is her! My mother, Aliya Wynter!” Lachlan took a deep breath and handed the photo to Pandora Wynter.
Pandora Wynter took the photo and stared intently at Aliya Wynter in it, her breathing becoming rapid. Her eyes also turned slightly red.
“Sister? Is this really my sister?” Pandora Wynter choked out.
The next second, she grabbed Lachlan’s shoulders urgently and asked, “Where is she? Where is your mother? She’s my sister! Are you my sister’s son?”
