Chapter 950: Surrounded by Blood Light
At this moment, Lachlan looked at Adele with a blank expression and said, “I don’t need your favor!”
Hearing this, Adele raised an eyebrow and replied, “Don’t need it? Perfect!
I still have a score to settle with you.
I look forward to you reaching the Shattered Void Realm soon, so I won’t have to hold back when I deal with you!
Right now, you’re only acting this way because of the Seed of the Star Path protection plan set by the Orderwarden organization, right?
Heh, we’ll see about that!”
When dealing with the great demon Kendrick’s rebirth, they could join forces.
But once that was over, they reverted to being competitors, even enemies!
Adele still harbored resentment for Lachlan’s attempts to kill her in the Mirror of Trials.
She intended to settle this score with Lachlan!
After she finished speaking, Lachlan nodded, “Fine! We’ll see! Go ahead and get your Four Elements Divine Fire.”
With that, he turned and left the secret chamber.
Initially, Lachlan was indeed disinterested and felt it inappropriate to ask the Duncan family for such a divine item due to Samantha’s death.
So, he genuinely didn’t want to compete with Adele.
However, upon hearing his stance, Adele’s first reaction was to sneer, “Heh… Do you lack confidence in beating me now?”
Her tone was filled with contempt, arrogance, and disdain.
This ignited a spark of anger in Lachlan.
Did she really think that just because she was at the Early-stage Fragmented Void, he wouldn’t dare provoke her?
No matter how extraordinary she was, he didn’t believe she could withstand a collision in the Mirror of Trials!
So when Lachlan said, “I don’t need your favor,” he had already made up his mind.
You can take the Four Elements Divine Fire first!
If you can keep it!
Indeed, because of Samantha’s death, he felt it inappropriate to ask the Duncan family for this treasure.
But with you? No way!
Do you really think I’m afraid of you and that’s why I’m letting you have the Four Elements Divine Fire?
After leaving the secret chamber, Lachlan returned to Samantha’s parents’ residence.
He planned to stay there for the night.
After recuperating his spirit and healing his internal injuries, he would leave!
When he returned to Gerard’s place, he saw Gerard on the phone with someone.
It seemed to be about some business matter.
Samantha’s father Gerard was one of those in the Duncan family who didn’t cultivate but instead went into business.
He dealt in antiques and ran an antique street and a pawnshop in town.
Because of this, Gerard often had contacts with grave robbers.
The person he was talking to was a representative from the largest grave-robbing sect in Merton called the Mountain Moving Sect.
The representative revealed to Gerard that they had discovered a tomb in a mountain.
It seemed to be a large tomb from the Zhou Dynasty over three thousand years ago!
“Gerard, we’ve worked together before. Out of our friendship, I’m sharing this news with you!
I’m telling you, bring your people over early tomorrow.
When our Mountain Moving Sect or other grave robbers dig up something good, you’ll be the first to get it.
Freshly unearthed items will be yours at the best price!”
The representative spoke sincerely, sounding quite earnest.
“Alright! Thank you very much.”
Gerard thanked him repeatedly.
At this moment, Lachlan entered the main hall and frowned upon seeing Gerard.
He noticed a circle of ominous blood light swirling above Gerard’s head.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
This was a sign of great misfortune.
“Hmm? Lachlan, you’re here?”
At this moment, Jennifer saw Lachlan and asked curiously.
After communicating with Samantha’s soul, Gerard and Jennifer had mixed feelings towards Lachlan.
They couldn’t say they resented him anymore!
They knew this young man was their daughter’s beloved, but he only saw her as a sister.
This was a regret for their daughter.
But since their daughter was already dead, talking about it held no meaning anymore.
Their only hope now was that one day Lachlan could truly help their daughter rebuild her body and bring her back to life.
“Yes! Who is Gerard talking to?”
Lachlan observed Gerard’s appearance and asked calmly.
“With a business partner. You know Gerard deals in antiques and pawnshops and has contacts with people who dig things up.”
Bonnie whispered.
“Oh? Grave robbers?”
Lachlan raised an eyebrow.
Bonnie smiled but said nothing more.
After Gerard finished his call, Lachlan approached him with a smile and said, “Gerard, to be honest, I’m also interested in grave robbing.
Moreover, I need a treasure called the Flower of Rebirth to rebuild Samantha’s body in the future.
This item often grows in tombs that haven’t seen sunlight for years.
If you’re going tomb exploring, could you take me along?”
Hearing this, Gerard and Bonnie exchanged glances before Gerard readily agreed.
Hearing it was related to their daughter’s rebirth, how could he refuse?
“Alright! But I’ll only be waiting above ground to collect items; I won’t go into the tomb myself.
But if you want to come along, that’s fine.”
Hearing Gerard agree, Lachlan felt relieved.
Seeing that Gerard might face great danger, he naturally wanted to find a way to follow him and help him avert this disaster.
Otherwise, if something happened to Gerard, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Samantha’s soul.
