Chapter 244 Talk about Something Else?
Kristina's face was filled with malice, clearly harboring deep resentment towards Lachlan.
Philip sighed and turned to his wife, "Kristina, I think we should give the money to Lachlan aspromised. If it weren't for him, Emerson would have killed us all that day..."
Although Philip wanted to pay the 80 million owed to Lachlan, he simply didn't have the money athand. He had already given 50 million to Lachlan and his own funds were running low.
The other part of the McLaughlin family's money was in Kristina's account.
But now that Kristina refused, he couldn't come up with the money for Lachlan.
"Philip, are you stupid? How did Lachlan ask for money? It was obviously extortion! And he didn'teven kill Emerson like we asked him to so we wouldn't have any future problems. You still want togive him money? Disgusting!" Kristina sneered with disdain and anger.
Philip's face turned red immediately, "Emerson is my son! How could Lachlan really kill him?"
Thinking of Emerson made Philip feel guilty and sad inside. He didn't expect recognition from hisson but hoped that Emerson could let go of his resentment towards him.
At this point when hearing Kristina talk about wanting to kill Emerson again and again, Philipbecame furious.
"Your son? Don't make me laugh! Does he share your last name or recognize you as a father? Letme tell you something Philip; don't get any ideas about Giada either!"
Philip's face alternated between blackness and redness while pointing at Kristina shakingly, "You...are unreasonable! I don't want argue anymore!"
With that said, Philip angrily turned around and left!
Kristina snorted coldly with an ever-changing expression on her face.
The next second she dialed a phone number directly calling the Britt family!
After hanging up the phone call, she had a look of gloominess mixed with fierceness on her face,"Willis, you extorted me; it seems like you're looking for death!"
"I haven't settled our old accounts yet! Perfect timing! If you dare come asking for money in fivedays' time, then I'll make sure there is no return trip for you!"
...
In the next two days, Lachlan gave Miranda and Nora the two "Suppressing Talismans" to wear, andtaught them and Mason the basic breathing methods.
This was to lay the foundation for their future cultivation.
Lachlan also took great care of his brother-in-law, Mason.
He was now very interested in becoming a master, and Lachlan naturally did not hesitate to teach.
Once upon a time, Mason actually looked down on those warriors.
In his opinion, as long as he had money and power, there will naturally be masters to work for him,so why should he practice himself?
No matter how strong a person's martial arts was, he was still a knife in the hands of others,working for others.
No matter how strong the strength was, it was fundamentally useless in the face of absolute powerand background.
However, his thinking had completely changed now!
He would never forget the scene of his brother-in-law's great display of power that night!
His brother-in-law stomped down with one foot, and a group of Lowe family masters were sentflying, seriously injured!
Too awesome!
It turned out that when a person became strong to a certain extent, he can really change the worldwith his own strength!
That morning!
"Bye, Daddy!"
Nora waved her little hand at Lachlan at the door of the kindergarten, and then ran into the schoolhappily.
Lachlan looked at Nora's bouncing figure with a loving expression, and took pictures of her with hisphone.
He didn't turn around until the little girl walked into the classroom.
Since Nora fell ill last time, Lachlan had cherished every moment of Nora's happiness and joy, andwould occasionally record the details of her life.
He was actually a little afraid!
Afraid that he could not break the curse on Nora, afraid that he would not be able to compete withthe ancient Willis family before his daughter was seven years old!
Lachlan thought to himself: Summer said that if I get the inheritance of the Dragon-shaped JadePendant, I can stand at the top of this world!
Undoubtedly, he should have obtained the inheritance of the jade pendant.
Lachlan remembered that when he was first knocked unconscious, a voice had sounded in hishead.
But the voice never came back!
Was there still another will in his body?
"Predecessor! Predecessor? Can you hear me?"
Thinking of this, Lachlan called out with his mind in his head, wanting to try to communicate with it.
However, there was no voice in his head in response...
Lachlan thought that he was thinking too much, so he shook his head and prepared to get in the carand leave.
"Mr. Willis, please wait!"novelbin
At this moment, someone came up to him.
Lachlan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the person, and smiled and asked, "Soit's Jared? How about the Spirit Jade? Is it ready for me?"
Just now, the one who called him was Jared, the butler of the Graham family!
However, there was also a short and thin old man beside him. He looked to be in his sixties orseventies, but he had a ruddy complexion and an energetic spirit.
The old man calmly sized up Lachlan without speaking, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.
"Well... let's talk about Spirit Jade later. Mr. Willis, you can rest assured that you won't miss out onanything! I came to see you today because there's something else we need to discuss!" Jaredsmiled.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow. "Something else?"
"Yes! If we can make this deal happen, it will be greatly beneficial for you too! How about we gosomewhere else to talk?" Jared made a gesture of invitation.
"Mr. Willis, please get in our car!"
Jared said with a smile as he gestured towards their business car.
Lachlan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright then! I have my own car though. How aboutyou lead the way?"
At this point in time Lachlan urgently needed resources for cultivation and Summer had said that theGraham family should have some good things on hand. So, he already intended to do business withthem when he heard what they were saying which piqued his interest even more.
Afterwards, Jared and the haughty old man got into their business car while Lachlan drove behindthem in his Bentley Mulsanne.
After twenty minutes or so they arrived at an antique tea house which was established by theGraham family as one of their offices in Edoland. Members like Jared worked outside would usuallystay at when conducting business here.
Upon arrival, Jared led Lachlan up to a private room on the third floor where all three men tookseats respectively.
Jared poured tea for both himself and Lachlan while at that moment, the old man took out a pill fromhis pocket and placed it before Lachlan.
Seeing this, Lachlan raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "Hm?"
The Nourishing Essence Pill?
"Mr. Willis, you should recognize this pill, right?" asked Jared smilingly after taking another sip fromhis cup.
Lachlan nodded nonchalantly, "I know it. It's been selling like hotcakes recently among Edoland'swealthy circles. What about it?"
"Hehe, I'm not mistaken am I? This pill is something that you created, right?" asked Jared staringintently at Lachlan, his eyes sharp.
