Chapter 483 A Stronger Backing

Lachlan pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out the specific reason why he hadn't made a breakthrough.

In the end, he had to blame it on his recent breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm. Although his field of elixir had completely solidified, perhaps he still needed to follow the steps and experience the mid and late stages of Core Formation before truly breaking through?

The idea of reaching for the sky in one step may be unrealistic?

Lachlan couldn't think of any other reasons at this time...

However, regardless of the situation, Lachlan was incredibly delighted and excited. Compared to the temporary breakthrough failure, the awakening of the advanced attribute of "the Rich Soil" held immeasurable significance in the long run.

After coming out of the underground, Lachlan suddenly realized that it was already dawn!

On the other side...

Oswesh City, a certain detention center!

Penelope walked out from inside, looking visibly thinner. At the entrance, Altha and a few people were waiting.

Seeing her granddaughter's haggard appearance, Altha couldn't help but feel distressed. At the same time, he harbored even more resentment towards Lachlan.

It was worth mentioning that although Diego and his son, along with the Great Joy Corporation, were finished, Altha didn't face much trouble.

Although he had some connections with Diego, there was no direct evidence to prove Altha's involvement in the illegal activities of the Great Joy Corporation.

Moreover, as the president of the Kreanford Medicine Association, he held a considerable social status, so the trouble wasn't significant.

In these past few days, Altha used his connections to find people everywhere and managed to secure Penelope's release. After all, she wasn't a member of the Great Joy Corporation. Although she had instigated them to go against Lachlan that day, thanks to Altha's efforts, she had managed to escape any serious consequences.

"Grandpa!"

Upon seeing Altha, Penelope immediately choked up and called out, throwing herself into her grandfather's embrace. Tears of grievance and resentment welled up in her eyes.

She had gone through a lot of hardships in the detention center these past few days. She had never experienced such mistreatment in her life.

"Alright, Penelope, stop crying!"

"Let's go, we'll talk at the hotel!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you take revenge!"

Twenty minutes later, in a hotel room.

Only Altha and Penelope were present. Penelope looked at her grandfather eagerly and asked, "Grandpa, you said earlier that you can help me get revenge? Is that... true?" "Lachlan has become so powerful that he even killed Mr. Ewing..."

When mentioning Lachlan, besides resentment, fear and regret shimmered in Penelope's eyes. She never expected that the "loser" she had looked down upon during their first meeting would turn out to be such a terrifying existence.

If she could go back, Penelope would never humiliate or underestimate Lachlan again. Instead, she would heed her grandfather's advice and wholeheartedly befriend him. She would even consider actively pursuing him.

However, it was too late now. The enmity between her and Lachlan had already been established!

Facing her granddaughter's fear and doubt, a cold smile appeared on Altha's face.

"Of course, it's true!"

"It seems that Lachlan has also become a cultivator now. But it doesn't matter; no matter how powerful he is, he can never surpass my master."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Both Diego and I were disciples under a great master. Although we were only registered disciples, we were still considered his students. This time, when Diego was killed by Lachlan, I refuse to believe that our master will turn a blind eye."

"As long as my master or even my master's master takes action, Lachlan is destined to die!"

Altha's face revealed a trace of arrogance, exuding absolute confidence.

Upon hearing this, Penelope's spirit seemed to be rekindled, and flames of revenge flickered in her eyes.

"Good!"

"Grandpa, you must make sure your master dismembers Lachlan's body!"

"Lachlan, you despicable man!"

"You definitely can't imagine that apart from Mr. Ewing, we have an even more powerful backer!"

Wuplaysau Town!

After getting off the bus at a bus stop about ten miles away from the town, Lachlan started walking towards the ancient town. The town seemed completely disconnected from the outside world, with no buses going in.

Helpless, Lachlan had no choice but to walk to the ancient town. Along the way, he had a feeling as if he had traveled back in time, with the buildings and scenery exuding an antique charm.

At 9:30 in the morning, Lachlan inquired along the way and finally reached his destination according to the map given to him by Raphael.

He saw a complex of buildings resembling ancient mansions, with small buildings scattered inside. At the entrance gate hung a sign with two large characters: Nemesis Pavilion!

"Nemesis Pavilion? Quite a grand name."

"I hope this time I can successfully meet Kyrie."

"I hope they truly have the ability to change one's destiny and can alleviate the curse within Nora's body."

Lachlan silently prayed in his heart and then walked towards Nemesis Pavilion.

After he knocked on the door of Nemesis Pavilion, a young girl opened it and walked out. She glanced at Lachlan and asked softly, "Who are you, sir? Do you have any business at Nemesis Pavilion?" Lachlan politely introduced himself, "I'm Lachlan, here to see Senior Darius at Nemesis Pavilion."

"Looking for the pavilion master? May I ask which family you're from? Or have you made an appointment with the pavilion master before?" the girl asked while scrutinizing Lachlan.

Nemesis Pavilion belonged to a

semi-hidden power and usually only

received people from the martial world. However, on the first day of each month, they would open their doors to the public, providing medical treatments, dispelling evil, and solving problems that ordinary people couldn't handle for the surrounding area.

But today was clearly not the first day of the month, so the girl asked which family Lachlan was from.

"I'm not from any family, and I

haven't made an appointment. But

could you please inform them for me? Just say that I want to meet the great witch doctor Kyrie. I heard that I need to pass Darius' test to do so, is that correct?" Lachlan asked calmly.

"Oh? You want to meet the Nine-Fingered Master?" The girl was momentarily surprised and somewhat taken aback. After carefully observing Lachlan once again, she nodded and said, "Wait here for a moment."

Lachlan nodded and said, "Thank you."

After a short while, the charming girl came out again and made a gesture for Lachlan to follow her. "Please come with me."

Lachlan followed her as they

wandered through Nemesis Pavilion

and finally entered a two-story

building. Inside the building, a slender old man sat in the hall on the

first floor, his gaze sharp as he

stared at Lachlan.

"Young man, you're the one who wants to see my master?"

"It's truly strange. We should be strangers, but it seems there's a thread of karma connecting us!"

"And it's a malevolent one?"
