Chapter 146 If I Can Break It, I Can Set It Up!
Master Soidho now understood what was going on and explained to the McLaughlin family, "It's likehow some foods are harmless on their own, but when eaten together, can be poisonous! The pool,fish, and mirror are all lucky items that can even ward off evil spirits. But after being arranged in acertain way, these auspicious objects have become a geomancy killing formation! Someone withgreat skill and extreme malice must have done this. If it weren't for Mr. Willis seeing through it all,your family would never have peace again! To be honest, even if your family were to fall apart orperish completely, I'm not exaggerating at all!"
Hearing this made the McLaughlin father and son feel uneasy.
"Could it be that gardener?" Philip's face changed constantly as he couldn't understand whysomeone would want to harm his family.
He decided then that he needed to find the gardener and get to the bottom of everything.
At this moment though, Darwin looked at Lachlan with suspicion in his eyes. "Master Soidhocouldn't see through this geomancy killing formation but you just happen to notice it? Tell me youdidn't conspire with that gardener just so you could scam my family out of 30 million dollars?"
The thought of having to pay Lachlan 30 million dollars made Darwin extremely unhappy.
"Just because you broke one little mirror doesn't mean we owe you 30 million!" His gaze towardsLachlan became dark.
"What? You're trying not pay up?" Lachlan's eyes turned cold as well. He didn't expect that afterhelping them avoid disaster he would still get accused like this!
30 million was agreed upon beforehand; now they wanted out?
"I saved lives before. I can take them too! I can break formations just as easily as create them!" Hisvoice was filled with murderous intent as he spoke each word slowly. "If you don't pay up, then yourwhole family will suffer!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, an aura of terror emanated from him, causing Darwin's faceturn pale while Philip and Master Soidho trembled in fear.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The next moment, Philip snapped back to reality and scoldedhis son. Then, he put on a friendly face and quickly said to Lachlan, "Mr. Willis, please don't mindmy son's attitude. You've saved our family, and 30 million is not enough! So, I'll add another 20million for you."
"No need, 30 million was the agreement," Lachlan replied with a stoic expression, waving his hand.
"No! This is a token of my sincerity. You must accept it!" Philip said firmly. He didn't doubt thatLachlan had colluded with the gardener and understood the significance of having a geomancymaster like Lachlan for the future of the Mclaughlin family. If this geomancy killing formation wasindeed set up by the gardener, they might need Lachlan's help when they found the culprit.
Seeing that Philip was insistent, Lachlan didn't refuse.
When Lachlan had arrived, it was Darwin who had picked him up, as they had a favor to ask of him.But when Lachlan left the Mclaughlin family, Master Soidho left with him and gave Lachlan a rideback to the Emerald Green Estates.
"Dad, are you crazy? Why did you give him an extra 20 million?" Darwin complained after Lachlanhad left.
"Shut up! It's just money; we gave it to him. It's better than not knowing how to die," Philip retortedsternly.
Darwin wore a displeased expression, and his gaze turned dark.
"Willis, 50 million! You really dare to ask for it. Let's see how capable you are!"
"Damn it! You need to have the luck to ask for the money, but you also need to have the luck tospend it!"
...
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lachlan, accompanied by Mason, arrived at the Graham family's auction.
Edoland's western outskirts, a private estate covering hundreds of acres, was the location of theGraham family and the venue for the auction.
Normally, they turned away all guests, only opening up during the auction.
By 8 a. m., the estate was already filled with a variety of luxury cars. Lachlan and Mason parkedtheir car outside, underwent security checks at the entrance, and then walked inside.
"Mason, have you been facing any trouble lately?" Lachlan asked abruptly as they walked, noticingthat Mason had been looking troubled with a furrowed brow.
"Huh?"
Mason hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "It's nothing! Just some trouble in a fewplaces, but I can handle it myself."
"If anything happens, remember to tell me! I might be able to help!" Lachlan reminded him.
"I know, if there really is trouble, I'll definitely come find you! Haha..." Mason laughed.
What he didn't tell Lachlan was that in the past few days, the experts sent by the Lowe family hadall left Mason's control. Some even took over Mason's territory and drove away his loyal followers -even injuring them!
In just these few days, there had been several internal battles within Mason's organization. But hefelt that he could still handle it and didn't want to bother Lachlan for now.
Just then, a cold voice rang out. "Willis? And Mr. Lowe? What a coincidence?"
Looking over at the sound of the voice, they saw a man with gold-rimmed glasses holding onto awoman who had undergone plastic surgery as they passed by - both looking at them with disdainfulsneers on their faces.
Especially when their eyes fell on Lachlan - thick with malice.
It was Isa's right-hand man Kayden!
"Little gigolo," Kayden sneered at him. "Are you here for this auction too? To help Mr. Lowe getsomething? Haha... not only do you have to please your lady boss but also work as your brother -in- law's lackey?"
He didn't believe that Lachlan had enough money to participate in this auction; he thought he wasjust accompanying Mason.
The woman next to him laughed along mockingly and looked at Lachlan with contemptuous eyestoo.
Lachlan hadn't expected to run into this jerk either and said expressionlessly, "Indeed quitecoincidental! Why hasn't your boss kept you under control so that you wouldn't bite people again?"
Kayden snickered menacingly, "Little gigolo let's see how long you can jump around before wecatch up!"
"Sure thing," replied Lachlan sarcastically while rolling his eyes
Kayden snorted and walked towards the direction of the auction venue.
Meanwhile, Mason, accompanied by Lachlan, after some inquiries, arrived at a small building withinthe Graham family estate.
In this auction, guests could not only participate in bidding but also sell items through the Grahamfamily.
Of course, the items being sold had to possess certain value or be sufficiently rare.
As an intermediary, the Graham family would take a 20% commission from the final selling price.
The small building was temporarily labeled as an "Appraisal Office."
"I have something to consign for auction. Is this where I get it appraised?" Lachlan politely asked amiddle-aged man sitting there.
"Yes! But it has to be something good or rare with some appeal!" The middle-aged man nodded hishead.
Lachlan made an affirmative sound and took out a yellow talisman paper from his pocket, slapping iton the table.
On top of the talisman paper was a golden character "talisman", emitting a special aura.novelbin
"This is..." The middle-aged man squinted his eyes in surprise.
