Chapter 293 Lachlan, What Do You See Me As?
After everyone had left, Lachlan calmly got into the car. When Miranda got in, she looked at him with a hint of confusion and asked, “What’s going on? Why did they think you were beaten up?”
Lachlan remained silent and shook his head.
The goddess CEO’s face showed a hint of displeasure. “Lachlan! You think you’re so great now that you won’t even talk to me?”
Lachlan’s face turned bitter and then suddenly flushed an unhealthy red.

He couldn’t hold it back any longer and vomited blood.
His strength was that of a mid-level Uppecia warrior. In addition to his powerful true energy, his physical body was also incredibly strong. Even without inner energy or true energy, he could easily defeat Dark Force masters.
However, when he attacked just now, it inevitably aggravated the injuries inside his body!
Originally he wanted to suppress it and not show it in front of anyone but couldn’t hold back anymore when he felt something sweet in his throat!
Miranda who had been angry before was suddenly shocked when she saw this scene. Her eyes showed thick fear and concern.
“Lachlan!”
“Are you okay? Do we need to go to the hospital? I’ll drive!”
She even started speaking gibberish as she panicked after seeing Lachlan spit out blood.
Looking at her panicking appearance made Lachlan feel complex emotions flash through his starry eyes for a moment.
The next second he wiped away the blood from his mouth with some tissues before shaking off Miranda’s concerns by saying, “It’s okay; spitting out this blood is good enough! We don’t need to go to the hospital; don’t forget I’m also a doctor.”
Miranda looked at him anxiously again, “What happened exactly? Were you really hurt by someone?”
Lachlan hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Yes, I met someone whose strength far surpassed mine! This time… I don’t know if I can make it through safely…”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was self-deprecating laughter from him followed by saying, “Don’t worry about all that though; let’s go get our divorce papers filed.”
Slap!
Upon hearing this statement, Miranda slapped Lachlan across the face with anger written all over hers, “Lachlan! You bastard! What do you mean?! Is this why you suddenly wanted to divorce me today?”
“What do you take me for?”
“Heh… you’re so noble aren’t ya?! Are you worried about dragging me down?”
“I don’t need you to think for me! I’m not leaving this marriage for now!!”
Lachlan touched his numb cheek and let out a bitter smile. Looking at the goddess CEO, who was teary-eyed and full of resentment, he felt his heart skip a beat. They say that couples are like birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes they each fly their own way. However, Miranda didn’t want to leave him now? Honey… was this what you meant by using him up already?
He moved his lips, wanting to say something to Miranda and ask her why she wanted to split up right after their wedding. But as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he swallowed them back down again. What was the point of asking so many questions now? Perhaps in seven days’ time he would be dead anyway. Why add more burdens?
…
That morning at the Thompson family villa!
The cold man Blaine’s body was lying on the ground with Sarah and Mohamed standing beside it looking grim-faced. Romeo and Harlow father-daughter duo were also present along with Isa’s confidant Kayden.
As they say: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, these three groups had gathered together.
Romeo’s trusted aide Rohan was carefully examining Blaine’s body while everyone else looked on expectantly.
“After checking thoroughly,” said Rohan with a cold smirk on his face, “I can confirm that Lachlan did not use any true energy when killing Blaine! Even if someone who has cultivated inner strength doesn’t intentionally use it during an attack there will still be traces of it left behind.”
“Unless they’re purely physical cultivators! But Lachlan is not like that, so I can basically conclude that Lachlan’s strength has truly been nullified! Even when he took action, he couldn’t use any internal force at all!” added Rohan confidently.
“Oh?” Mohamed asked incredulously, “Blaine is a Dark Force expert. Are you saying that Lachlan could have killed him solely based on physical strength? Is that even possible?”
“If there was too great a difference between their strengths, then it wouldn’t be impossible!” replied Rohan solemnly.
As he spoke these words though, fear crept into his heart. After all, he wasn’t even as strong as Blaine himself; if things had gone differently earlier, then perhaps it would have been him lying dead instead…
And when others heard this, their faces showed a mix of shock and horror.
To lose one’s inner strength and rely solely on physical strength to defeat a Dark Force expert?
Hiss…
So, before Lachlan lost his inner strength, his power was even more terrifying?
“What do we do now? If Lachlan’s power is gone, even if he relies solely on brute force, we can’t kill him!” Sarah frowned and said unwillingly.
“Yeah! This bastard is just an animal! How can he be so fierce after being disabled?” Harlow gritted her teeth.
The others looked at each other with uncertain expressions.
Damn it! Lachlan was too damn awesome! Even if he was seriously injured and his inner strength was gone, these people still couldn’t handle him. This was too discouraging!!
“Forget it. We can’t kill him but someone else will eventually get the job done. At least now we know that the information provided by the McLaughlin family mother and son was true! Lachlan losing his inner strength means that there really is a top-notch master who wants to kill him. Let’s just wait for it!” Kayden spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with conviction.
“That’s right! Anyway, Lachlan this bastard will die sooner or later!” Sarah said bitterly.
Half an hour later…
Kayden left the Thompson family and reported this news along with everyone’s speculations to Isa!
“Good! Good job indeed! Hahaha!” Isa learned that Lachlan had been disabled; he suddenly revealed a look of madness mixed with pleasure.
Then his heart began beating erratically again.
Since Lachlan had already been disabled, what did he have left to fear?
Can he do something about it again?
