Chapter 143 Find Me Again, And It'Ll Cost You Three BillionChapter 143 Find Me Again, and It'll Cost You Three Billion
"If you really dig up any dirt, I'll eat it!" Master Soidho declared confidently, having faith in himself.
"Playing this big?" Lachlan shook his head speechlessly.
The excavator came over and started working where Lachlan pointed.
Lachlan stood by quietly watching.
Sam was a bit nervous, staring without blinking.
Darwin and Master Soidho were both unimpressed, standing with their arms crossed and sneering
on the side.
After a short while, they had already dug down four or five meters deep. However, apart from some
rubble, they hadn't seen anything else yet.
"I'm laughing so hard! Where is the thing you mentioned? You didn't even bother to ask around
about my reputation in the geomancy world before daring to question me?"
"Kid, compensate me. I won't ask for much. Just give me 100, 000 dollars!"
Master Soidho said proudly upon seeing this situation.
"Mr. Willis if you can't come up with the money then apologize to Master Soidho. Let's talk it out and
forget about this matter! But don't go back asking Ms. Lowe for money. That wouldn't be good."
Darwin taunted him.
"Mr. Mclaughlin are we still digging?"At that moment one of his workers stuck his head out of the excavator and asked him.
"Keep digging!" Lachlan said calmly ignoring Master Soidho and Darwin.
Sam also added, "Dig as per what Mr. Willis says."
Darwin impatiently waved his hand, "Fine then! Dig away! Mr. Reid has spoken!"
The next second, he looked at Lachlan very displeased muttering under his breath, "What kind of
nonsense is this? If it wasn't for Mr. Reid's face, I wouldn't even bother with you. You're really asking
for trouble!"
Master Soidho also snorted coldly, "I want to see what can be dug up!"
Suddenly there was a loud thud as though something had been hit by the excavator!
"It seems like we've actually found something!" exclaimed the operator of the excavator in surprise.
Upon hearing this news, Darwin's expression froze momentarily before he turned towards several
workers beside him ordering them, "You guys go down there and take a look!"
"There doesn't seem to be any negative energy here. Perhaps it's just some ordinary metal object,"
remarked Master Soidho skeptically.
A few minutes later, several workers emerged from below, carrying a box in their hands which made
everyone curious about its contents.
After they opened the box, a butcher's knife was revealed, emitting an ominous aura that seemed to
hit them in the face.
"This... this..." Master Soidho's face changed dramatically upon seeing the knife."Master, what is this?" Darwin was also taken aback.
"This is a geomancy killing formation set up by someone. This evil object buried underground will
definitely cause frequent accidents here in the future! It wouldn't be surprising if it causes fatalities!"
Master Soidho said with a serious expression.
"What should we do? How do we break it?" Darwin asked nervously.
"It's fortunate that this young apprentice discovered it! Expose this knife to sunlight for seven days
and its malevolent energy will dissipate!" Master Soidho said as he looked towards Lachlan with an
expression of surprise and suspicion.
Despite his youth, Lachlan had surpassed him in "Energy observation". The knife was stored in a
willow wood box which concealed its malevolent energy. Even he hadn't noticed it but this young
man had seen through it all.
"Why expose it? Don't you want to eat it?" Lachlan asked with a smile on his face.
"I... I..." Master Soidho suddenly turned red-faced and couldn't say anything else due to being
choked up by Lachlan's words. He greeted Darwin before leaving dejectedly without daring to ask
for any money for his services anymore.
"Now do you believe what Mr. Willis said earlier, Mr. Mclaughlin?" Sam asked while smiling at
Darwin.
Darwin felt somewhat embarrassed and reluctantly thanked Lachlan, "Thanks."
Seeing how reluctant he was when thanking him made Lachlan purse his lips and ask, "How are
you going to thank me?"He didn't mind helping people but disliked those who didn't know how to show gratitude after being
helped by others. Therefore he wasn't going easy on Darwin!
Upon hearing these words, Darwin hesitated before asking sarcastically, "What do you want me to
give you? Money?"
His tone carried some mockery!
noveldramaTo everyone's surprise though, Lachlan nodded without hesitation, "Sure! Give me 1. 8 million
dollars!"
Hearing these words made Darwin widen his eyes as he looked at an angry-looking Lachlan while
Sam froze momentarily not expecting that Lachlan would actually demand money from him!
"You really dare open your mouth huh? And 1. 8 million dollars too?! Are you crazy or something?
Doesn't Ms. Lowe give you pocket money normally?" Darin sneered coldly while ridiculing him.
"How much do you have to pay for the deaths on this construction site? Plus, there's the
investigation and negative impact it caused. The Mclaughlin's Construction must have lost more
than just 1. 8 million dollars, right? I helped you solve this disaster, is 1. 8 million too much? Of
course, if you can't afford it then forget it. Can't even afford to pay for someone else to solve your
problems, what a poor guy..."
Lachlan shook his head disdainfully.
Hearing this, Darwin almost passed out from anger.
"What did you say? I'm a poor guy? You're the one living off of others and calling me poor? Damn!
It's just 1. 8 million dollars. Here!"
Darwin was so angry that his face turned red. He felt insulted by Lachlan's words.On one hand he was provoked but on the other hand he knew that Lachlan was telling the truth.
If it weren't for him discovering this geomancy killing formation and someone dying on their
construction site resulting in Mclaughlin's Construction being held accountable by relevant
departments, it would be disastrous.
Speaking of which, Darwin should give him these 1. 8 million dollars anyway.
Otherwise Darwin wouldn't be stupid enough to act impulsively even if he were angry about being
insulted like that.
After receiving 1. 8 million dollars, Lachlan smiled smugly.
Thinking about that Graham family auction made him realize how poor he really was, and now he
had seized an opportunity to make some money.
Anyway, Darwin wasn't really close with him so Lachlan didn't feel obliged to be polite.
"You're such a loser! You're happy with only 1. 8 million! Let me tell you something: my monthly
allowance is worth more than this!"
Darwin clearly felt very unhappy and sneered through gritted teeth.
Sam shook his head beside them; he could see that Lachlan was doing all of this intentionally. But
then again, Lachlan had helped Darwin out, yet Darwin still acted like an ungrateful jerk. So if
anyone deserved having to pay 1 million, it would be him!
Just then, Lachlan looked at Darwin and raised an eyebrow before speaking again, "I'll give you
another reminder since you haven't cheated me yet. Your right eye has dimmed, this is a sign of
double star falling which means your mother will have trouble. Give me 10 million, I'll help your
mother get through her difficulties."Hearing these words, Darwin first froze before turning pale with anger. "Go f*** yourself! Your
mother will have trouble, your whole family will suffer! You've gone crazy trying to scam people for
money, right?"
"Get lost!" Darwin cursed loudly.
"30 million! Just for a few insults from you, if you come looking for me again, I'll demand 30 million!"
Lachlan furrowed his brow and spoke icily.
"Go ahead and roll out of here! Am I crazy enough to come looking for you?"
