Chapter 245 Are you Forcing me?
Lachlan glanced at Jared and asked in a calm tone, “Why do you say that?”
“That day at the hospital, Emerson, who was with you, was the seller of this pill! And he is your man, Mr. Willis. You can’t deny it,” Jared said as he stared at Lachlan.
At this moment, the proud old man waved his hand impatiently and said with a hint of annoyance, “Jared, don’t beat around the bush!”
Then he looked at Lachlan with a dominant expression on his face and said, “Young man, we won’t waste any more time talking to you. Give us the formula and method for making Nourishing Essence Pill. The Graham family will buy it!”
This old man’s name was Harley Graham; he was not only an alchemist for the Graham family but also a grandmaster strongman.
He held an aloof position within the Graham family and had equal status to that of an elder; therefore, he received respect from others all year round.
However, because of this status quo in society where people respected him too much over time made him arrogant towards others.
After hearing what Harley had to say, Lachlan looked at him with a playful expression on his face, “The Graham family wants to buy it? What kind of price are you willing to pay?”
Harley snorted, “Don’t you want Spirit Jade? The Graham family will give you one hundred pounds of Spirit Jade plus 100 million dollars for the Nourishing Essence Pill formula! Of course, you must also write down its specific manufacturing method.”
Upon hearing this offer from Harley, Lachlan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Are you joking with me, sir? Spirit Jade is already promised as my reward for saving Mr. Graham’s life! And 100 million dollars? Are they even enough? One Nourishing Essence Pill costs millions now! I have already earned 100 million by selling these pills till now!”
Harley’s face darkened as he threatened in his tone, “Kid, don’t be too greedy! This offer is already good enough for you! The Graham family hasn’t even started investigating your responsibility yet by selling these pills privately!”
Jared frowned as well while warning Lachlan, “Mr. Willis, please stop while ahead.”
Lachlan’s expression turned cold as he spoke sarcastically, “Investigate my responsibility? That’s ridiculous! What do you mean by ‘I am selling these pills privately’?”
Harley snorted and slammed the table, saying, “What do you think? Edoland and the surrounding areas have always been monopolized by Graham family in the medicinal market. Who allowed you to interfere and compete with us for market share?”
“If you’re smart, hand over the formula for this Nourishing Essence Pill, and from now on, you’re not allowed to sell it anymore!”
“Otherwise, the Graham family will settle accounts with you!”
“This is ridiculous! Do I need your permission to sell medicine? What do you mean by saying that the market is monopolized by your family?” Lachlan retorted indignantly.
It was laughable that they acted as if they were some kind of authority figure. Not only did he have to hand over his formula but he also couldn’t continue selling his own medicine in the future? The Graham family was too domineering!
“Hmm?” Harley’s face turned cold as his eyes showed undisguised hostility.
Jared also spoke coldly, “Mr. Willis, I advise you to be sensible! You can’t afford to provoke the Graham family.”
Lachlan chuckled before standing up directly, “There’s nothing more to talk about here! Goodbye!” He then looked at Jared coldly, “Oh yeah, don’t forget about Spirit Jade! The Graham family won’t default on their debts, right?”
Jared and Harley’s faces immediately turned ugly upon hearing this. This guy not only refused to hand over Nourishing Essence Pill’s formula but also dared ask for Spirit Jade? For many years no one had ever been so arrogant in front of them before.
The experts of the Graham family were numerous; their heritage profound; people from the Graham family relied on their familial strength which made them accustomed towards being domineering.
Now these two men had hit a wall against Lachlan; anger surged within them both.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“You still want Spirit Jade?” Harley sneered.
He flashed forward blocking Lachlan’s path while glaring at him menacingly, “Kid, today if you don’t give us that pill recipe, then don’t even think about leaving here!”
Jared stood behind Lachlan sealing off any possible escape routes.
Lachlan asked coldly, “What do you mean? Do y’all want me gone?”
“Get lost!” Harley shouted fiercely before slapping towards Lachlan.
His body exuded an aura of energy as he revealed his master-level strength intending on using forceful means in order to keep Lachlan there against his will.
Jared threw a punch at Lachlan’s back, causing a burst of air. They had fought once before in the hospital, and Jared had lost slightly. However, he didn’t think that Lachlan was that terrifyingly strong. Instead, he felt a bit resentful and wanted to use this opportunity to regain his pride.
Facing the attacks from both men, Lachlan’s eyes flashed with anger as he retaliated with a palm strike towards Harley while ignoring Jared’s attack on his back.
Crack!
Boom!
Lachlan clashed palms with Harley while Jared landed a solid punch on Lachlan’s back. In the next moment, Jared retreated quickly after feeling like he hit a human-shaped mountain which made his right arm numb and bones almost broken.
Jared looked at Lachlan in shock as it became clear that his opponent was much stronger than him.
At this moment, after exchanging a palm strike with Lachlan, Harley found himself unable to retreat! In the instant their palms collided, his palm bones shattered inch by inch, crushed by Lachlan!
His face changed dramatically, enduring intense pain as he attempted to pull back, only to have Lachlan grab his right arm.
Pong!
Following that, a ruthless sweep landed heavily on Harley. Unable to retreat on his own, he was sent flying with a powerful kick!
He crashed into and shattered a tea table in the private room, landing on the ground in a miserable state, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
“Uppecia Realm!” Harley’s pupils contracted, wearing an expression of disbelief.
Smack!
At that moment, after kicking Harley away, Lachlan turned around and slapped Jared’s face with a resounding blow. Jared let out a miserable scream, spinning in the air before crashing out, losing half of his teeth in the process.
He convulsed on the ground for a moment and then passed out cold. This guy thought everything was fine after being repelled from a sneak attack from behind? Lachlan couldn’t let him off so easily!
“Why bother?” said Lachlan coldly. “I wanted to reason things out verbally but why force me to use violence?”
Harley glared angrily at Lachlan while looking over at an unconscious Jared filled with shock and fury, “You… you…”
The old man wanted to say some harsh words, but he was hesitant because he feared Lachlan might actually kill him.
He never expected that a young man from the outside world would be such a powerful Uppecia expert.
For a moment, everyone was unsure of Lachlan’s background!
“Who do you think you are?”
“If the Graham family also wants to sell Nourishing Essence Pills, let your patriarch come and talk to me personally! You two don’t have the qualifications!”
