Chapter 261 We Can’t Afford to Offend Him, Someone Else Can!
“What did you say? Mr. Ghost is dead?” Abel asked incredulously, his mouth hanging open in shock.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Yeah, Dad! What kind of garbage did you find for me? Lachlan punched him to death!”
“He acted all tough before too, pretending to be mysterious and deep.”
“What the hell? Dad, where did you find this so-called expert? Did someone trick us?” Kristina’s tone was disdainful as she questioned Butch Ghost’s abilities.
If he wasn’t such a waste, would she have been scared by Lachlan like that?
And her son Darwin wouldn’t have had to kneel down to that bastard!
Hearing this, Abel’s eyelids twitched and the wrinkles on his face seemed to spasm a few times.
“What did you say? Butch Ghost was punched to death by Lachlan? Kristina, are you joking with me here?”
Butch Ghost’s death was already shocking enough for him.
But being punched to death by Lachlan?
How could that be possible?
He came from a powerful evil sect. Even if he lost the fight, it wouldn’t be possible for him to be killed instantly!
He thought maybe his daughter was exaggerating.
“Dad, I almost got killed by Lachlan. How could I joke about this? Butch Ghost really was punched to death by him. He was completely useless…” Kristina recounted what happened with Abel listening intently.
After hearing everything Kristina had said, Abel took in a sharp breath and spoke gravely, “Kristina, don’t mess with this guy again! I can tell you clearly now that it wasn’t Butch Ghost who was useless but rather… Lachlan is just too strong!”
Hearing this made Kristina grit her teeth and speak through clenched jaws, “So we’re just going let things go like this then?! That guy extorted so much money from our family and even forced Darwin down on his knees! Dad, I can’t swallow my pride over something like this!! When have I ever suffered such losses before?”
Abel snorted, “You’ll just have swallow your pride whether or not it’s easy! It’s because I’ve spoiled you rotten all these years making it so at your age now. You still don’t know how to restrain yourself! If haven’t suffered any losses yet, then start now!”
Kristina never expected her father would say something like that; she immediately cried out in frustration.
Abel felt both irritated yet sympathetic towards his daughter as he gruffly said, “Alright alright! All I’m saying is we shouldn’t mess with Lachlan anymore but doesn’t mean others can’t handle him.”
“This kid killed Butch Ghost, do you think the Ghost Plaque Sect will let it slide? I just need to pass on the message to the Ghost Plaque Sect and someone will take care of Lachlan! The Ghost Plaque Sect is an incredibly powerful evil sect. Even if Lachlan is strong, he won’t be able to withstand their revenge! We don’t have to do anything, just wait for news of this kid’s miserable death.”
Upon hearing this, Kristina stopped crying and her eyes showed a hint of excitement and anticipation.
“Good! Dad, you’re right!”
“Lachlan killed Butch Ghost. The sect will naturally come for revenge! I’m just waiting to watch the show!”
Meanwhile, on the other side, the private detective who was tracking Lachlan informed Kayden about his entry into the McLaughlin family and caused quite a stir.
Kayden then passed on this information to Isa.
After receiving this news, Isa, who was now under house arrest by the Austin family, had a sinister smirk on his face.
“Lachlan has offended quite a few people! Let’s see how long he can keep jumping around!”
“Bastard! Bastard! You’ll die. You’ll die miserably!!”
…
After leaving McLaughlin family with various newly refined elixirs in hand, Lachlan drove directly towards the Graham family’s estate.
Mason had taken him there once before during their auction event so Lachlan knew his way around.
He saved Declan himself and Jared promised him something in return but until now he hadn’t seen any Heavenly Spirit Jade yet!
Not only that but last time he even tried forcing him into giving up thee Nourishing Essence Pill formula with an old man!
Lachlan had already made it clear that he would go there demanding Heavenly Spirit Jade while creating an unnecessary background story!
If nothing was done about it, then the Graham family would definitely think that he was scared or worse still suspecting him as being full of hot air from last time!
Then comes retaliation and trouble along with it which could hinder future sales of elixirs as well as them trying to get their hands on his formulas again!
Therefore this matter must be resolved immediately, proactively resolved at that!
In addition to all these reasons mentioned above, Lachlan also wanted more cultivation resources from the Graham family if possible.
Around noon, Lachlan arrived at Edoland’s western suburbs where the Graham family’s estate was located.
A few miles away from the Graham family’s estate, Lachlan encountered some of the family’s guards on the road.
“Stop! This is private property. Turn around immediately!” One of them made a hand gesture to signal Lachlan to stop and warned him coldly.
After getting out of his car, Lachlan said calmly, “Tell your master that Lachlan Willis is here to see him.”
The two guards exchanged a glance when they saw how calm and confident Lachlan looked. They were unsure about who he was or what his intentions were.
“Wait here,” one of them said to Lachlan before walking away and making a phone call.
After a while, he came back with a polite tone and said, “Mr. Willis, please follow me.”
Meanwhile, in one of the reception rooms at the Graham family’s estate…
Matthias, the head of the Graham family was sitting there with Harley, the alchemist, and Jared, his steward. There were also several elders present who were all experts in combat skills that surpassed Uppecia!
Harley still looked pale after being injured by Lachlan last time; he hadn’t fully recovered yet.
Jared looked even worse; he had been slapped by Lachlan which left him looking like an idiot with twisted mouth and eyes filled with resentment from time to time.
Of course, he wasn’t really stupid; it was just that some nerves had been damaged by the slap so much so that it seemed unlikely for him ever recover fully again.
“Haha! This young man named Lachlan actually dared to come!” Matthias sipped his tea leisurely as if enjoying himself greatly.
“This kid is really arrogant! For many years now no one has ever dared be so audacious in front us!” A white-bearded elder sneered coldly.
“Mr. Graham! You must help me seek justice for myself and Harley,” Jared spoke up in an aggrieved tone filled with sadness.
Matthias’ face flickered slightly before nodding indifferently saying, “Don’t worry. I know what needs to be done.”
Harley gave Jared a meaningful look but remained silent.
“He’s here!” Someone suddenly exclaimed alerting everyone else present.
The next second, they saw a tall figure swaggering into the living room where there were many experts.
As if, without scruples!
It was like this was his home turf!
