Chapter 163 How Come You're not Dead?

The Ward Estate!

After Henry and Rowan returned, their faces still showed shock and relief.

Thank goodness they didn't really offend Lachlan!

Erik, Caelan, and Reeva were all in a room drinking tea waiting for news.

Everyone wanted to know the outcome of tonight's events.

"Reeva, you won!"

Henry sighed as he spoke after returning home.

"I won?"

Reeva raised an eyebrow before laughing. "Of course! I told you so."

With curiosity and anticipation written on her face, she asked, "Did Lachlan really take out all of the Lowe family's experts by himself? The battle must have been intense and shocking?"

Erik and Caelan also looked at Henry with curiosity. They too wanted to know what happened.

But Henry just smiled bitterly while shaking his head. "It was definitely shocking but not intense at all."

He then held up one finger saying, "Lachlan only used one kick to injure all of the Lowe family's experts. He didn't kill them but his ability to control the situation is what makes him truly terrifying!"

If Lachlan had killed everyone from the Lowe family tonight, it might not have been as shocking because it would show that he couldn't control himself unless he went all out. But that wasn't what happened; instead he injured them without killing them off completely.

"What? One kick? How is that possible?" Even Reeva who had complete faith in Lachlan was surprised by this revelation.

Caelan, Erik, and Gabriela were even more shocked than her.

For a moment there was silence in the living room as everyone tried to process what they had just heard.

Half an hour later...

A man with braided hair whose limbs were covered in plaster was carried into the room.

Erik and Henry looked at him coldly.

"Braid," said Henry sternly while staring down his subordinate. "Tell me again how exactly did Lachlan disable you from head-to-toe? Don't leave out any details."

The look in his eyes was sharper than ever before making Braid feel uneasy when meeting their gaze.

"I... I..."

Braid Man felt a sudden fear in his heart and stuttered, "I... I was asked to take the money and..."

After listening to him, Henry's face turned pale with anger as he gritted his teeth. Erik snorted coldly, his eyes filled with a hint of danger.

Henry grabbed Braid Man's hair from behind and asked word by word, "You mean someone paid you to sell Mr. Willis' daughter in the mountains?"

"I... I just wanted to scare him..." Braid Man felt the terrifying expressions on Henry and Erik's faces and spoke fearfully.

"Why didn't Mr. Willis just kill you?" Henry bit his teeth while slapping Braid Man across the face.

He and Erik knew how much Lachlan cared about his daughter Nora. They investigated Lachlan thoroughly and knew that he would do anything for her, even selling a kidney! He even sacrificed himself for compensation when he was hit by a car!

How could they say they were going to kidnap Lachlan's daughter? How could Lachlan not fight back?

"Henry, Lachlan left you enough face!" Erik sighed.

"I know..." Henry smiled bitterly as he wished he could chop Braid Man into pieces. He never mentioned this before!

"Rowan, take him away! Don't let me see him again!" The next second, Henry pointed at Braid Man with gritted teeth.

The next morning...

Perhaps as a reward for last night's events, Goddess CEO finally spared Lachlan today without torturing him at work after dropping Miranda off at the company building. After sending Miranda off safely at work, Lachlan went alone to that mountainous area on the outskirts of town where he climbed up that peak once again which helped break through Uppecia realm last night.

There was some difference between urban areas and mountainous areas in terms of spiritual energy; although both were thin, it was still better than nothing.

Lacking any bottleneck after breaking through Uppecia realm, Lachlan grasped onto cultivation like it was food or water. Yesterday's incident made it clear how important strength really was. Even though this world may be civilized society now, the law of nature still applied: the strong prey upon the weak. However, in modern society, the Earth's spiritual energy was too thin…

After entering the Uppecia realm, Lachlan clearly felt that his progress had slowed down immensely.

"It's so difficult. After a whole day, my strength barely improved!"

He had been training until the afternoon and was somewhat frustrated. Indeed, he had crossed the bottleneck of the Energy Refining stage and entered the Uppecia realm. However, it seemed that there was another bottleneck right after entering Uppecia.

"If only I could find a place with rich spiritual energy, it would be great..."

Lachlan thought to himself. However, he considered such places to exist only in novels and movies.

After checking the time, Lachlan packed up and started to head down the mountain. As soon as he got in the car, he received a phone call from Philip.

"Mr. Willis, do you have time to come to my house? The landscape designer who previously tried to harm us with geomancy tactics is here again. It seems like he is not satisfied with failing to harm us before. I don't even know him, and I have no idea why he holds such a deep grudge against us. I suspect he's here to harm us again. Can you help us?"

Philip's voice was filled with panic as he lowered his voice to ask Lachlan for help.

Lachlan's attitude towards Philip had become extremely cold due to Darwin's actions.

"Why should I help you? You should ask your son what he has done first."

Lachlan sneered and hung up the phone directly.

On the other end of the line, Philip was left stunned. He hadn't expected Lachlan to refuse him so decisively.

"That little brat, what has he done?"

Philip muttered to himself, growing frustrated. He recalled that night when his son Darwin had acted so strangely towards Lachlan. This only added to his anger and confusion.

Remembering the nightmarish incident with the blood mirror, Philip couldn't help but shudder. The landscape designer who had set up the geomancy formation had returned, and it seemed that his intentions were far from good.

Desperate to have Lachlan help, Philip no longer counted on Master Soidho. All his hopes were now pinned on Lachlan.

Just then, a man knocked on the door and walked in with a smile. Philip put on a calm facade but felt a sense of unease and dread in his heart.

"Uh... Mr. Hurst, what brings you here?" Philip asked, trying to hide his discomfort.

"Why were the two ponds I designed for you last time filled in?"

The man wore a suspicious expression as he stared at Philip and inquired.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
