Emerald Green Estates!
Miranda and two others sat in the living room, their faces tense. Miranda's pretty face also carried a hint of guilt. Victoria's last words reminded her of something.
No wonder she found NC Organization familiar. The last time they were caught by Kayden, Nora used Suppressing Talisman to take down a Transmutation Force expert who claimed to be from NC Organization.
So this whole thing was really because of her family?
At that moment, Mason's phone vibrated and he looked at the message with an angry expression on his face.
"Sis, you don't have to blame yourself anymore. I've found out what happened. Romeo colluded with people from NC Organization and tried to blow up your new factory but ended up blowing up his own instead! Unfortunately for him, there was a leader from NC Organization in that factory who died along with him."
"Afterwards," Mason continued explaining what he had learned to Miranda and Cara, "Romeo went looking for help from the Lowe family by trying to implicate them." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
The incident when Cobra and his men approached the Lowe Residence, including the subsequent events where Charlie and other skilled members of the Lowe family went to return the bodies but were all killed, was not widely publicized by the Lowe family. However, there are no secrets that can be kept forever.
After Mason had someone thoroughly investigate, he immediately understood the whole story.
"It seems that Grandma was afraid of retaliation from the NC Organization, so she planned to capture me and hand me over to them, using it as leverage to help the NC Organization expand its influence in Edoland! She wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to reach a settlement with the NC Organization!"
After a brief contemplation, Mason figured out the situation.
"It should be something like this!"
Miranda, with a furrowed brow, spoke in a cold tone.
At this moment, Cara was so angry that her whole body was trembling. "Victoria, you have such a heart, actually using your own son and grandson to please others! How dark is your heart!"
"For the sake of self-preservation, what wouldn't my grandmother do?" Mason said with a cold laugh, his tone full of bitterness. He had initially thought that Victoria wouldn't harm her own grandson under any circumstances, but now it seemed he was too naive.
"Now, what do we do? Dad is in the hands of the NC Organization. How do we rescue him?" Miranda anxiously asked.
Mason sighed, "As far as I know, the main hall of the NC Organization in Kreanford is guarded by two Grandmaster-level experts. It's impossible for us to forcibly rescue someone. Miranda, is there still no contact with brother-in-law?"
A touch of sorrow appeared on Miranda's face, "I tried various ways, but I couldn't reach him. Your brother-in-law said he was going to participate in some Clan Grand Competition for cultivators, where there might be no signal. But he promised it wouldn't take long, and he would definitely come back after it ended. Mason, try to stall for time, wait until your brother-in-law returns!"
Mason nodded, "That's the only option. The NC Organization wants to force me into submission using Dad. Dad should be safe for now. Hopefully, brother-in-law will return soon. If not, I may have to compromise. Compared to Dad's safety, my current influence doesn't count for much."
On the other side, Lachlan was currently within the sect territory of Hudpids Sect, where there was no network or signal on his phone. It was impossible for him to be contacted.
This night, he sat cross-legged in the courtyard, crazily practicing the Dragon Soul Immortal Technique. He wanted to make further progress before the personal ranking trial.
However, despite the rich spiritual energy in this place, after a whole night, Lachlan still couldn't break through the bottleneck of the late Uppecia stage.
He felt like he was stuck there.
The field of elixir in his lower abdomen, approaching solidification, couldn't fully condense.
Simply put, the concentration of absorbed spiritual energy didn't meet the standard. It was like trying to drive a nail into a big tree but hitting a knot.
No matter how many times you hit it with insufficient force, it wouldn't work. Only when the force reached a certain level, with a powerful strike, could it possibly break through the knot.
"... Breaking through to the Core Formation Realm is so difficult. I wonder if it will get even harder as I advance to higher realms?"
Feeling the sunrise, Lachlan finally opened his eyes and sighed inwardly.
At this moment, he didn't know that the reason for his current difficulty was entirely due to him being a "Perfect Uppecia." Once he broke through, it would be an entirely different scene!
"Tsk tsk, didn't expect that, although your aptitude is dull, you are quite diligent in cultivation."
At this moment, a quirky voice sounded. Savannah, dressed in male attire, walked out of the house.
Seeing Lachlan meditating in the courtyard, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and she instinctively mocked him.
"Hey, you didn't practice here all night, did you?" She couldn't help but ask.
Lachlan chuckled, "Did you watch me all night?"
"Don't flatter yourself. Who do you think you are?" Savannah sneered at his response.
After breakfast, the two, along with Sophie, returned to the sparring field from yesterday.
The number of participants today was less than a third of yesterday, indicating that most people chose to give up on the ranking trial, unwilling to play games with their lives.
Those who stayed were confident in their abilities and at least felt they had some self-defense capabilities. Generally, their strengths were at or above the late Uppecia stage.
At this time, several members of the Hernandez family, accompanied by a senior at the Core Formation stage, were also waiting here.
Arlo's figure was among them. When Lachlan and the others arrived, Arlo immediately noticed them, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"I said, you mid-Uppecia trash, don't tell me you also want to participate in this trial?" Arlo looked at Lachlan, asking sarcastically.
"What's wrong, afraid I'll snatch your herbs?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow and replied.
"Well, I'll be waiting for you! I want to see where your confidence comes from! Is it the sissy from your family, giving you that confidence?" Arlo pointed at Savannah, asking.
Another member of the Hernandez family loudly mocked, "He probably thinks he can take a beating, haha..."
"Taking a beating is useless if your attack power is as weak as scraping therapy!"
Arlo sneered and then said ominously, "You better pray not to encounter me in the Sacred Medicine Valley. Otherwise, I want to see how well you can take a beating!"
