Chapter 290 Spread the Message
After Hawkeye Ghost left, he went straight to the McLaughlin family. Kristina and Darwin were eagerly waiting for him.
“Mr. Ghost, how did it go? Did you take care of Lachlan?” Kristina asked anxiously.
Darwin also had a look of anticipation on his face, waiting to hear news of Lachlan’s death.
However, Hawkeye Ghost snorted coldly and shook his head. “Not yet.”
Upon hearing this, Kristina and Darwin exclaimed in surprise, “What? He… he hasn’t been taken care of yet? Mr. Ghost, are you not strong enough to defeat him?”
Darwin also looked uncertain and thought to himself: Is Lachlan really that powerful? If Butch Ghost couldn’t take him down and even his master wasn’t a match for him…
Hearing their words, Hawkeye Ghost raised an eyebrow and looked at Kristina with a sinister gaze. He grabbed her by the neck like she was a chick being held by its mother hen.
“You bitch! My disciple died helping you deal with this Lachlan guy! How dare you talk back to me?! Do you want me to crush your neck like I would with a chicken?”
“How could I not be able to defeat that Lachlan guy? I beat him half-dead already! He’s barely hanging onto life!”
“I’m just being merciful by giving him seven days before taking care of business.”
Kristina was now being strangled in mid-air by Hawkeye Ghost. She felt like she couldn’t breathe as her face turned red from lack of oxygen.
Feeling the evil aura emanating from Hawkeye Ghost made her tremble all over in fear.
“No… Mr. Ghost… I didn’t mean anything else! I’m sorry…”
“I knew it all along; that Lachlan guy is nothing compared to you!” She opened her mouth wide trying hard not to offend or upset him any further while complimenting his strength at the same time.
“Yes yes yes! You have immense power beyond measure; crushing Lachlan would be as easy as crushing an ant! My mom didn’t mean any disrespect towards you either so please don’t get angry; please don’t!”
Darwin quickly chimed in too looking very scared but sincere.
Hawkeye ghost snorted coldly once more before finally relenting. He threw Kristina onto the ground causing her scream out loud upon impact.
“After seven days pass, I will come back for my disciple’s revenge against Lachlan! And remember, you are responsible for my disciple’s death too! You have seven days’ time to prepare 50 million dollars as compensation!”
With these final words spoken harshly, he left abruptly.
Within these seven days, he wouldn’t lay a hand on Lachlan again, but he couldn’t help worrying that the kid might have some powerful backing.
After he left, Kristina and Darwin looked shaken.
The next second, the mother and son stared at each other with a hint of resentment in their eyes.
“50 million! We have to come up with another 50 million?” Kristina’s face twitched with annoyance and pain.
“What should we do, Mom?” Darwin was at his wit’s end.
They never expected that because of one Lachlan, they would have to spend nearly 200 million dollars inside and out for this period of time.
“What else can we do? Will we dare not pay?”
“Damn it! It’s all because of Lachlan!! Forget it. As long as we can kill this bastard, let’s spend another 50 million!” Kristina gritted her teeth.
Darwin nodded then changed his tone, “Mom, do you think Hawkeye Ghost can really kill Lachlan? He said he beat him half to death. Is it true or false?”
Kristina blinked a few times, “It should be true. I feel like this old guy is quite scary.”
As she spoke here, she suddenly thought of something and a cold smile appeared on her face, “Whether it is true or false doesn’t matter; let’s find someone to try it out! Let’s spread the news about Lachlan being seriously injured to his enemies so they will test him for us!”
“Ideally speaking, if someone could directly kill Lachlan without waiting for seven days later!”
Darwin brightened up when he heard this, “Right! Haha… spread the news about Lachlan being seriously injured; there won’t be anyone who won’t take advantage of him!”
…
After driving back to Emerald Green Estates, Lachlan called Emerson on the phone.
He hesitated whether or not to tell him about his serious injury so that Emerson could come back in these few days to help protect Nora.
But after thinking about it carefully, he decided against telling anyone except asking if Emerson had recently obtained any cultivation resources by exchanging medicine.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Emerson; rather, he just didn’t want anyone else involved in this matter.
Furthermore, Nora and Miranda both had their own “Suppressing Talisman” from him which would keep them safe even against ordinary people.
If there were enemies who couldn’t be dealt with using Suppressing Talismans alone, then even with Emerson’s current strength, he wouldn’t be able to handle them.
That afternoon, Lachlan stayed home without going anywhere. He only brewed several medicines for treating internal injuries while combining Minor Revitalizing Pills together with Dragon Energy within himself in order to recover from his injuries. This time, his injuries were extremely severe!
If it weren’t for the nourishment of dragon energy, Lachlan would have died after taking two blows from Hawkeye Ghost. Even now, he’d almost crippled with his strength severely damaged. His meridians were all broken and his body was empty, with no trace of the pure and thick true energy that used to flow through him.
His field of elixir felt like it was dried up too. The only thing worth celebrating was that a strand of dragon energy still flew out from his “dragon kidney,” spreading throughout his body and constantly repairing himself.
“I hope I don’t become a cripple this time! Otherwise, I’m really done for!” Lachlan sighed bitterly to himself.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious mansion in Kreanford that covered an enormous area…
Isa had been confined here for days and wasn’t allowed to leave the Austin family even once.
According to Caelan and Alexander’s plan, they wanted Isa to leave Kreanford or even go abroad. But Isa refused stubbornly and kept delaying things until he told his father that as long as he stayed within the family, there was no way he’d run into Lachlan.
Alexander had no choice but to assign someone to watch over Isa since he was still his son after all; they couldn’t use force on him.
At this moment, Isa received some news which made him feel both excited yet uncertain at the same time. He called Kayden immediately, “Have you heard about what happened in Edoland? Lachlan was almost killed by a top-notch expert.”
Kayden replied with surprise, “What? No idea!”
Kristina didn’t know Kayden personally; she just passed on this news to Isa.
“You useless piece of trash! What did I hire you for in Edoland? To keep an eye on every move Lachlan makes! How could you not know about something like this?” Isa scolded coldly.
“Mr. Austin… I can’t possibly have someone watching over Lachlan 24/7! He’ll definitely notice if we do so… Besides, is this news reliable? With how strong Lachlan is… who could nearly kill him?” Kayden said with a bitter smile while expressing doubt towards such news.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
