Chapter 373 Treacherous Scheme
Lachlan sneered, "I'm here to help your family keep their status as a prestigious clan. Do you reallyexpect me to sleep on the couch? Besides, I only have manners for women I like. Sorry, but you'renot one of them."
He grinned slyly and continued, "But don't worry about me getting up. Why don't you come lay downwith me instead?"
Savannah glared at Lachlan with murderous intent and spat out, "You shameless jerk!"
Lachlan chuckled lightly and then changed his tone abruptly. "By the way, who are the Wood familypeople? It seems like they have some sort of grudge against your family."
Savannah hesitated for a moment before explaining to Lachlan, "The Wood family is also an ancientmartial arts clan just like us. Our feud goes back to two other hidden clans that used to exist behindour respective families..."
It turned out that there was once a hidden faction within the Graham family known as HiddenGraham Family. The same went for the Wood family; they had their own hidden faction calledHidden Wood Family.
Hidden Graham Family and Hidden Wood Family were mortal enemies who fought in a bloodybattle sixty years ago. In that war, Hidden Graham Family suffered a crushing defeat at the hands ofHidden Wood Family which led to their complete annihilation.
Since then, the Graham family lost its backing and could only retreat into Edoland where it currentlyresided.
It was because the Graham family was also a member of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, andsince the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance was formed by several hidden forces, the Graham family,whether hidden or ancient martial, couldn't be completely eradicated. Otherwise, the Graham familywould no longer exist.
Speaking of this, a deep worry appeared in Savannah's beautiful eyes. "So, whether we canmaintain our family status in this Clan Grand Competition not only affects whether my family canobtain cultivation resources in the future but also determines the life and death of my family. Onceexpelled from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, the Wood family and the hidden family behind themwill surely exterminate us, uprooting us!"
At this point, Savannah looked at Lachlan with a complex expression. "This is also why my fatherwas willing to allocate a full thirty percent of cultivation resources to you and why he wanted you tocome here with me, even if you're just tagging along. Lachlan, I don't expect you to performexceptionally well in this competition; I just hope you can help us secure another spot apart frommine."
Hearing this, Lachlan understood the situation and chuckled, "So, this competition is so crucial foryour family! Hehe... In that case, giving me only thirty percent seems a bit stingy."
Savannah, upon hearing this, showed a deep sense of anger and snorted coldly. Meanwhile, on theother side, in a room where Hugo and Jackson, brothers from the Wood family, stayed together,they were discussing something with the elder Patrick.
"I never expected the Graham family to produce a martial arts genius, huh!" Patrick stroked hisgray-white beard and spoke coldly.
"At the late stage of Uppecia, this strength is indeed rare at the ordinary level of martial artsfamilies. We are only at the late stage of Uppecia," remarked Hugo with narrowed eyes.
Jackson snorted, "Even if Callum manages to pass, the other one is just wasting time! Don't forget,each family needs at least two descendants to pass the test."
Patrick's expression turned sinister, "As for Landon, although he hasn't revealed his strength, sincehe was sent by the Graham family, he might also be at the Uppecia level. If he happens to pass thetest, the Graham family might still secure its family status. If we want to eliminate the Grahamfamily, who knows how long we'll have to wait. In this competition, we must ensure the Grahamfamily is expelled from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance without any mistakes."
They had previously provoked Lachlan not only to humiliate the Graham family but also to testLachlan's strength.
At this moment, Jackson's eyes lit up, and he sneered, "I've got it!"
Saying this, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, and a sinister and evil smile appeared on hisface. "I've checked it already. The two participants from the Graham family are staying in the sameroom. Let them enjoy the taste of this Forgetfulness Elixir! Haha..."
"Forgetfulness Elixir? What is that?" Patrick raised an eyebrow and asked.
Hugo, seeing his younger brother taking out this item, also had a wicked smile on his face.
"Jackson, you're quite cunning! Why didn't I think of this?" The two brothers explained to Patrickwith excitement about the effects of the Forgetfulness Elixir.
In simple terms, it was a potent aphrodisiac, much more domineering than ordinary love potions.After taking effect, it would first induce a state of drowsiness, and then, once fully effective, theperson would wake up but lose all rationality during the potion's duration, completely controlled byinstinct. Afterward, they wouldn't remember anything that happened.
Hugo and Jackson, having obtained this Forgetfulness Elixir at a martial arts auction, had used it tocause trouble for several innocent girls.
"Oh? You young people play quite well, haha..." Patrick, after hearing the explanation, revealed a bitof disdain for the younger generation. "Are you sure it works, and is it effective against cultivators?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. It's definitely effective! This Forgetfulness Elixir only needs a drop, and thetoxins it releases are more than enough. Our plan is to first bribe someone from the hotel..."Jackson explained his plan.
After listening, Patrick and Hugo both showed a sly smile. "This move is brilliant! Record the scenesin the room at that time!"
"Yeah! When those two Graham family losers are affected by this Forgetfulness Elixir, it's not anexaggeration to say that as long as there's a hole, they'll want to poke into it. Hahaha! Those twolosers will surely embrace each other romantically, and afterwards, apart from a sore bottom, theywon't remember what happened. When the time comes, in front of all the martial arts families andseveral major hidden forces, we'll release this video... Hahaha, it's simply too exciting!"
Patrick also nodded, "As one of the founders of the hidden family within the Ancient Martial ArtsAlliance, we've been trying to persuade other hidden forces to directly expel the Graham family fromthe Ancient Martial Arts Alliance for years. Other families also have this intention, but they alwaysneed a pretext. Unfortunately, the Graham family has been following the rules these years, stayinglow-key and avoiding getting caught. But if such a scandal happens, hehe..."
On the other side, after Lachlan and the others took a short break in their room and had dinner, theyexplored Vleah City a bit.
When they returned to the hotel, it was already past nine in the evening. Shortly after returning totheir room, someone knocked on the door of Lachlan and Savannah's room.
Opening the door, they found a hotel staff member outside. "Is there something you need?" Lachlanasked.
"Well, sir, it's like this. Autumn has arrived, and the mosquitoes here are particularly fierce. Althoughwe've sprayed insect repellent before, we can't guarantee that there won't be any mosquitoesdisturbing your rest. So, our hotel has prepared an electric mosquito repellent for you."novelbin
Saying this, the staff member took out an electric mosquito repellent, and the liquid inside seemedfull, appearing brand new.
