Chapter 263 I Haven't Said Anything
As far as he knew, those hidden families and sects that sent their descendants out to train often didso in secret, not allowing their descendants to reveal the details of their family background. Onlythose who grew up on their own had the qualifications to gain a certain position within the family.
Lachlan was very likely one of these people!
If he didn't have a background, how could he have produced so many elixirs, some of which weretop-quality?
Matthias refused to believe that this guy was just an ordinary secular expert!
"Mr. Willis, what is your background? Would you mind telling us?" Matthias asked again tentatively.
He wanted to know more about Lachlan's secrets.
However, when Lachlan heard this question, he frowned and snorted heavily.
"I told you I don't have any background! And your family isn't even considered a hidden family. Is itinteresting for you to ask about these things? Don't ask what shouldn't be asked. Just tell me ifyou're willing to cooperate with me!"
Upon hearing this response from Lachlan, Matthias' expression froze! Even the high-level membersof the Graham family present couldn't help but feel shocked deep down inside.
Lachlan's words were undoubtedly somewhat arrogant and even seemed like he looked down onthe Graham family. However, including Matthias himself as well as other elders present at the scenedidn't show any dissatisfaction or anger towards him.
A hidden clan?
The fact that Lachlan could say such words was enough evidence for many things! How couldordinary people in society know about these things? And according to what Lachlan said earlier, itseemed like he didn't even care about this level of existence - hidden families?!
Could it be... that he emerged from ancient times??
No wonder!! No wonder why he was so young but had already stepped into Uppecia realm andproduced so many different types of elixirs.
"I understand now! I apologize for my impertinence Mr. Willis!" Matthias suppressed his inner shockand smiled apologetically, "Cooperation! The Graham family is certainly willing to cooperate withyou, Mr. Willis!"
"Yes Yes!! It would be our honor if we can work together with you, Mr. Willis!" Harley also quicklyexpressed his agreement while other senior-level experts also echoed in agreement.
"That's good then! As long as you are sincere in working together with me, then I will continueintroducing other types or even higher grade elixirs."
Lachlan spoke calmly while secretly laughing at Matthias' reaction along with all other memberspresent from the Graham family.
He knew that these people definitely didn't know how to figure out his background, but he didn'tcare. He hadn't said anything, so they could guess all they wanted!
Upon hearing this, Matthias and the others' eyes lit up. "That's great! Let's sit down and discuss thedetails of our cooperation," Matthias said. "Mr. Willis, the Graham family will not let you lose out."
However, Lachlan shook his head and his sharp eyes suddenly became dominant as he spoke witha hint of arrogance in his tone.
"Not so fast! Before we can talk about it, I think there are some accounts that need to be settled!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards Jared with a cold expression onhis face.
Jared was taken aback by this sudden movement and looked at Lachlan suspiciously. "What... whatdo you want?"
"I can tell that you seem to hate me?" Lachlan sneered coldly.
"This is the Graham family territory – what do you want to do?"
Jared exclaimed in shock before turning to Matthias and several other experts from the Grahamfamily for help, "Sir... elders..."
Matthias blinked a few times before shaking his head slightly to signal for others not to act rashly.
At this point, Lachlan pointed at Harley and gritted his teeth at Jared, "I saved your young master'slife but you haven't fulfilled your promise yet. Instead, you brought this old man here to force me!"
"If it was just because you were afraid of disobeying orders from your clan, then even if you hadmediated between us instead of forcing me with this old man, then I wouldn't have blamed oraccused you!"
"But back then there wasn't even an ounce of hesitation or guilt on your part! You even tried havingmy life ended earlier!"
"If I don't kill you now, then everyone else will think I'm easy prey!"
With that being said, Lachlan's eyes narrowed sharply as he slapped Jared across the face.
Boom!
Crack!
As soon as this slap landed on Jared's forehead, his skull shattered instantly, and he fell deadwithout any sound.
"You..." A senior member from the Graham family shouted angrily upon seeing such brutality unfoldright before their very eyes. However, this time around, Matthias waved them off again signalingthem not take any action recklessly.
This time around, the headmaster deeply looked into Lachlan's eyes, gave one last glance towardsJared's corpse, but did not say anything further.
If it were someone else who dared commit murder within the Graham family territory, Matthiaswould have immediately acted without hesitation. However, Lachlan was different after all…
In his eyes, it was a done deal - the big shot from some powerful force had arrived! People like himcouldn't afford to lose face and not seek revenge. The Graham family had offended Lachlan before,causing the death of one of his servants. But now he had gotten even with this big score.
As long as they could continue to work together, Jared's death would be worth it.
"Mr. Willis, can we talk now?" Matthias asked with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
"Yes," Lachlan replied casually after wiping his hands clean.novelbin
That afternoon outside the Graham family estate, several young members of the Graham familyhelped Lachlan load a box full of Spirit Jade onto his car at Matthias' request. In addition to that
were packets of herbs over 100 years old.
"Mr. Willis, I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future!" Matthias bowed respectfully andsaid goodbye.
"Good! I'll leave first!" Lachlan nodded indifferently before stepping on the gas pedal and drivingaway quickly into the distance.
Fortunately for him, today's business was resolved perfectly; he also reached an agreement withthe Graham family.
He handed over formulas and refining methods for several elixirs to the Graham family which theiralchemists would use to make these elixirs.
Half of what they sold would go towards Lachlan's profits while the Graham family fulfilled theirpromise by giving half their inventory consisting mainly of three hundred pounds worth Spirit Jadealong with free herbs that were more than a century old as goodwill gesture.
He was finally able to breathe out in relief after so much tension throughout this negotiation; it wasall part of psychological warfare but thankfully he won!
Thinking about what lay inside that box full of Spirit Jade in his trunk made him feel excited - howmuch stronger could he become?
