Chapter 217 Where did this Jade Pendant Come from?
"Do you need any help?" Lachlan asked with a smile as he approached Fox.
Sierra Munoz, also known as Fox, hesitated for a moment and then turned to glance at Lachlan.She shook her head expressionlessly and said, "No thanks."
A hint of annoyance flickered in her eyes at Lachlan's poor attempt at flirting. She felt aninexplicable resistance towards him.
"What's your name? I heard you're from Lucoork West? Which faction are you from?"
Lachlan didn't seem to care and continued to ask with a smug look on his face.
"I have nothing to say," Sierra replied coldly, furrowing her eyebrows.
At that moment, Simeon walked over with several members of the Dragon Sword Brigade. Heapproached Lachlan with a stern expression and asked sharply, "What are you doing here, Willis?"
Damn it! Someone was actually trying to hit on Fox? This guy had no manners! The other memberslooked at Lachlan with disdainful eyes as if they were looking at a frivolous womanizer.
"We're all comrades now. What's wrong with exchanging some words? I heard this beautiful lady isalso an outsider like me in the Dragon Sword Brigade. We have something in common, don't we?"Lachlan smiled and said confidently.
"How shameless can you be?! Who do you think has anything in common with you?"
"I'm telling you, this isn't society where hitting on every pretty girl is acceptable! Fox is now one ofus in the Dragon Sword Brigade so watch your step!" warned the other members of the brigade
while pointing their fingers accusingly at him.
"Lachlan... just let it go..." Stephen stepped forward along with others trying to calm him downbefore things got out of hand. They never expected that he would really come over here just forsmall talk.
They were speechless...
At this moment, Sierra furrowed her brows, glanced at Lachlan, then turned around and walkedaway, swiftly heading towards the depths of the mountains. It seemed she didn't want to stay hereand become the focal point of the dispute among these men.
Lachlan hesitated for a moment but quickly followed suit.
Simeon and several Dragon Sword Brigade members looked astonished, and then theirexpressions turned somewhat annoyed.
Stephen and the others were sweating profusely. Was Lachlan not only trying to strike up aconversation but also pursuing her in earnest?
"Captain, should we follow them?"novelbin
"I never thought Eduard would find such an immoral person as their outsider?"
"Ughh.. his skin is so thick!"
Several members sneered contemptuously.
Simeon looked at Lachlan with disdain and annoyance, shaking his head. "No need, this kid won'twin her over. Fox won't pay him any attention!"
Since joining the Dragon Sword Brigade, there had been people in the team who had pursued her.
Including Simeon, the captain, who was also an admirer of Fox.
But no matter who it was, Fox never showed any interest or paid attention to them.
So Simeon didn't believe that Lachlan's clumsy way of pursuing would win over Fox's favor.
Fox's look of disgust just now said it all.
If this guy didn't know what was good for him, he might even be taught a lesson by Fox.
Simeon knew that Fox was much stronger than him as a captain.
...
Sierra ran far away and stopped in a valley after taking several deep breaths. She sat cross-leggedand prepared to practice breathing exercises.
The Priocia military had always had a tradition of recruiting experts from various martial arts familiesand sects. After confirming their loyalty, some joined the army as external aid while others becamemembers of certain secret special organizations.
Sierra entered the Dragon Sword Brigade in this way.
She came from Kagyu School in Lucoork West which had its own unique way of practicing.
Even when traveling with the army, she still practiced during her free time.
Now in this mountainous area feeling the richness of spiritual energy between heaven and earth,she found a place to meditate.
At this moment, her hair hung down lightly exuding an unparalleled ethereal temperament.
Her beautiful profile was exquisite enough to make one dizzy with admiration but then her eyebrowsfurrowed again next second as she coldly looked towards one direction.
"Are you annoying me?" Sierra stood up and asked Lachlan coldly as he chased after her.
She had regarded Lachlan as someone with improper intentions towards her, a frivolous person.However, this time, the man's face was devoid of expression, the smile that accompanied his earlierflirtation with her now absent. His starry eyes, instead, radiated an intimidating chill, firmly fixed onSierra.
Lachlan walked towards Sierra and, without saying a word, reached out and grabbed the collar ofher clothing.
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out!
Sierra slapped Lachlan hard across his face!
She covered her collarbone with her hands glaring angrily at Lachlan even revealing killing intent!
"Asshole!"
"You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on me! You're asking for death!"
In the next second, her face changed and she angrily realized that the jade pendant around herneck was gone.
The jade pendant was now in Lachlan's hands.
With Sierra's strength, it was surprising that she didn't notice it earlier and let this man get away withit so easily.
Lachlan stared at the jade pendant with an uncertain expression on his face.
The shape of the pendant was identical to his family's Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, only muchsmaller in size. The familiar gentle face appeared in Lachlan's mind. It was the most beautiful facehe had ever seen.
"Tell me! Where did you get this jade pendant?"
Lachlan finally took his gaze off of the pendant and looked at Sierra with a murderous glint in hiseyes.
Sierra hesitated for a moment. She didn't expect this man who had just been flirting with her tosuddenly turn hostile towards her over a piece of jewelry. Was he not interested in her after all? Washis target really just the jade pendant?
"I have nothing to say." Sierra said coldly with anger and resentment evident in her voice.
"Speak up or I'll kill you!"
"I will really kill you!"
Lachlan held onto the warm jade as if he could still feel its heat. But now it no longer belonged to hismother but instead belonged to this strange woman before him which filled him with an inexplicablerage.
This jade pendant was the token of love that Lachlan's father had given to his mother. His mothercherished it as if it were her life.
From childhood to adulthood, Lachlan remembered her always wearing it close to her heart, neverparting with it. Why? Why did his mother's pendant end up in someone else's possession? Wherewas his mother?
A sense of panic overwhelmed Lachlan as he felt himself being consumed by anger and hatredtowards Sierra.
