Chapter 258 Being Trapped Doesn’t Mean Being Killed!
Lachlan walked up to the front gate of the McLaughlin family’s villa, his eyes cold as he kicked it open with one swift motion.
The heavy iron gate flew off its hinges, a fitting punishment for those who refused to pay their debts.
Kristina and her son Darwin rushed out at the sound of the commotion, while Butch Ghost sneered and followed suit.
Upon seeing the broken gate, Kristina’s face darkened with anger.
“Lachlan, you are too arrogant!” Darwin seethed through gritted teeth.
“How much is a broken door worth? Let’s consider it as interest! With 80 million dollar in the bank, the daily interest alone would be enough to buy several doors, right?” Lachlan sneered and asked.
Upon hearing this, Kristina pointed at Lachlan and cursed, “You dare to come, Willis! I didn’t expect you to have the audacity to extort the Mclaughlin family. I think you’re asking for death! Since you have come to our doorstep today, don’t bother leaving!”
“Hehehe…”
At this moment, Butch Ghost stared coldly at Lachlan and let out a sinister laugh, “It seems like this kid is the one!”
Lachlan glanced at the blood-dressed man and stared coldly at Kristina, “It seems like you have made up your mind to cheat me. You’ve already found someone to deal with me?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
With that, he pointed at Butch Ghost and said sternly, “Do you think he is enough to give you the confidence to cheat me?”
“What’s the matter? Can’t he kill you? Lachlan, be sensible and return the previous 50 million to us, oh no, now you have to return 100 million! Hahaha… Otherwise, today will be your last day!” Darwin said with a cold smirk.
Following Lachlan’s previous approach, he started to use leverage!
When Butch Ghost saw Lachlan pointing at him, especially when he heard this, his face turned sinister.
What did he mean, all by himself?
How dared he look down on him?
Butch Ghost said in a cold voice, “Boy, remember my name! My name is Butch Ghost, and I’m gonna kill you! Soon, you’ll be my 100th ghost! Eight-gate Illusion Array, up!”
The words fell, the Mclaughlin family’s courtyard suddenly appeared a special array of waves in all directions!
Lachlan’s face changed, and he could feel the scene twisting and turning.
Caught in the middle of the Eight-Gate Illusion Array, he was momentarily disoriented.
Even, no one can see beyond the array. Kristina, Darwin, et cetera!
Lachlan frowned, stomped his feet, and sprinted forward, trying to break out of this strange formation.
However, he felt that he had rushed out of the hundreds of meters, but found himself still trapped in it!
What he didn’t know at this point was… ! To those outside the formation, he was like a headless fly, constantly circling!
“Hahaha, look at him acting like an idiot!” Darwin laughed mockingly as Kristina watched Lachlan with amusement.
“You won’t be able to escape! Once you’re caught in this Eight-Gate Illusion Array, you’re nothing but a lamb waiting for slaughter!” Butch Ghost’s voice echoed from all directions within the formation.
Lachlan sneered coldly but looked cautious as he stood still. He hadn’t expected the expert brought by Kristina to have some tricks up his sleeve.
Suddenly, without warning, a withered hand clawed towards Lachlan’s back heartlessly!
Caught off guard and unable to sense any attacks while stuck in the Eight-Gate Illusion Array; there was no way for Lachlan to react on time!
With a muffled sound accompanying it, the attack landed heavily on Lachlan’s body causing his blood and energy inside him churn slightly.
“A Half-Step Grandmaster?” Despite taking damage from that attack, Lachlan sneered again after feeling its power.
He felt more stable now than before because he knew that it would be difficult for someone with such strength as Butch Ghosts’ level could kill him easily!
As soon as he fell into this illusionary array, Lachlan had formed an aura shield around himself which protected against most harm – though not completely immune since it caused some internal injuries when hit by such powerful attacks!
“Hmm? You can take quite a beating.” Even Butch Ghost sounded surprised that his attack failed to finish off their target!
Kristina and Darwin were stunned, and they shouted at Butch Ghost, “Mr. Ghost, don’t hold back!”
Butch Ghost snorted coldly. “I know,” he said with a sinister smile. “Kid, it seems like you still have some strength left! But it’s okay. If one attack doesn’t kill you, I’ll come for a second!”
“Are you ready? I’m about to strike! Hehehehe…”
He looked at Lachlan in the illusion array as if he were playing with a mouse.
It was as if Lachlan was just a living target.
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into the illusion array and kicked Lachlan in the stomach.
Boom!
Lachlan groaned again from being hit and swayed once more.
“Damn it, you’re pretty tough!” Butch Ghost said.
“I bet you can take more hits!”
When Butch Ghost saw that his kick had landed solidly but only made Lachlan sway slightly instead of knocking him down completely, his expression turned suspicious and surprised.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
His attacks continued to land on Lachlan’s body relentlessly because of the Eight-Gate Illusion Array trapping him there.
All Lachlan could do was rely on his physical strength and protective energy to withstand them all.
However, when he tried to counterattack later on, he couldn’t even touch this guy who seemed untouchable.
This made Lachlan feel quite frustrated!
But at this moment, Butch Ghost became even angrier.
On his pale ghost-like face appeared expressions of fury mixed with terror.
After attacking for so long without causing any damage to this young man?
What kind of power did this kid have??
“Mr. Ghost, what are you doing? Kill him already!” Kristina urged impatiently while frowning.
“Yeah! He’s just standing there letting you kill him. Why haven’t you done it yet? Can’t you… do anything?” Darwin also questioned skeptically.
They watched as Butch Ghost hit Lachlan repeatedly but the latter remained unscathed – not even bleeding!
What kind of game was this?
“You bastard! Shut up!” Butch Ghost snapped angrily at the McLaughlin family mother-son duo.
Why wasn’t he able to kill him?
Was it because he didn’t want to or simply couldn’t ?
This kid’s defense power was too abnormal!
“Heh-heh… How’s my defense? Does it make you feel hopeless?” At that moment, Lachlan’s mocking voice rang out loud!
“Just because I’m trapped doesn’t mean I’m easy prey.”
Heh-heh…
Even if a fierce dragon was trapped in a deep pool, it was not something a jackal can provoke.
