Chapter 246 Unnecessary BackgroundChapter 246 Unnecessary Background
Lachlan was proud and stood there emitting a fierce aura.
Harley wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Lachlan in shock, "Kid, who are you? Who is
your master? Which family or sect do you belong to?" Harley thought that Lachlan must have come
from a powerful ancient martial arts family or sect. Otherwise, how could such a young expert in the
Uppecia realm exist in society?
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. His master? He didn't have
one. Nor did he belong to any family or sect. However, his question made him think.
With his current strength, he couldn't contend with the Graham family yet. Moreover, Lachlan didn't
want to truly offend them for now as he still had many constraints around him and making enemies
everywhere wasn't wise.
Furthermore, it seemed like he had forces of Core Formation experts.
Thinking this way, Lachlan snorted coldly with some arrogance and said mysteriously, "You're not
worthy enough to know my background! I'll only tell you one thing - even if it's your entire Graham
family, they wouldn't dare provoke my backing force! Go back and tell your patriarch that Jared
promised me Spirit Jade before so it would be best if they send it over obediently! Don't force me
into demanding things from Graham family because no one has ever dared default on their debts
owed to me!"
After saying these extremely domineering words arrogantly, Lachlan left directly without looking
back.
Harley sat there paralyzed with changing expressions on his face.After Lachlan left, he took out his phone and called the Patriarch Matthias Graham.
"Uncle Harley, how did things go?" Matthias picked up the phone call then asked.
As an alchemist within the family, Harley held a somewhat aloof status. Even Matthias, the family
head, treated him with a degree of respect.
"Things went wrong! This guy named 'Lachlan' is very strong-willed, refusing to hand over
Nourishing Essence Pill's formula while also injuring both Jared and myself!"
Upon hearing this news, Matthias was stunned for a moment before speaking up angrily, "What?!
Not only did he refuse but also dared injure both of you?! How dare he not put our family into
consideration?"
"Sir, you wouldn't believe it. This guy is a master in the Uppecia Realm! And, perhaps, he really
doesn't regard our family with much regard." Harley recounted the events, including Lachlan's final
words.
"Do you think this kid really has some powerful background? He even threatened to come to our
place if we don't give him the Spirit Jade!"
On the phone, Matthias's face changed constantly after hearing this.
"He's really arrogant! Could it be that he really has something to rely on?"
Harley hesitated for a moment and analyzed in a deep voice, "It's hard to say! Otherwise, how could
he reach the Uppecia Realm at such a young age? And also refine Nourishing Essence Pills?"
"Sir, what should we do? If there is no strong force behind him, it is impossible."After pondering for a while, Matthias spoke with caution. "Don't provoke him yet! Didn't he say that if
we don't give him Spirit Jade, he will come knocking on our door? I want to see if this kid really
dares and then decide how to deal with him."
On the other side.
Lachlan was unaware that his bluff had actually aroused suspicion from the Graham family. After
leaving Lava Java Tea House, Lachlan bought some medicinal materials and started researching
other types of "low-level elixirs".
He wasn't too worried about injuring two members of the Graham family. Of course not because he
thought he could scare them off but because Lachlan had another confidence in his heart.
As they say - where there are people there are profits; where there are conflicts there are
opportunities!
Just like the major pharmaceutical distributors with Flynn before, the introduction of several new
medicines by Lachlan made them see potential benefits. As a result, they cooperated willingly
multiple times.
This time would be no different!
As long as he can bring enough benefits to the Graham family, they wouldn't care about his actions
or even sit down and talk things out properly.

noveldramaAt Hodge's Wine:
"Mr. Hodge!""Mr. Hodge you're here?"
Other employees in sales department greeted Dillon flatteringly upon seeing him arrive.
Dillon nodded stylishly and looked at Allison.
"Allison huh? How is your job as sales manager going? Is it tough or easy?"
Dillon walked over next to Allison's desk and leaned down asking her questions closely.
Last time when Dillon received more than ten Nourishing Essence Pills from Lachlan, he promised
Allison that she would not be harassed again by him.
But after a few days, Dillon couldn't resist again!
Looking at the delicate face in front of him, he wanted to get closer and kiss her.
Anyway, he already got the Nourishing Essence Pill, so why bother with anything else?
"No trouble at all. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hodge, but I'm a bit busy now. How about we talk
later..." Allison leaned back and forced a smile.
Dillon was too close and made her feel uncomfortable.
"Okay then, you go ahead and be busy! I'll treat you to dinner tonight after work," Dillon said without
hesitation.
"That's settled then! Haha..."
Dillon rubbed his chin before leaving without waiting for Allison's response.
Allison frowned slightly as she felt troubled inside!Dillon had promised not to harass her again last time but went back on his word this time around.
"If it doesn't work out tonight, leave early before work ends to avoid him!" Allison calculated in her
mind helplessly.
Meanwhile Dillon returned to his "CEO" office within the company after leaving the sales
department.
Apart from "the Hodge's Wine," there were other companies and industries under the Hodge family
that Dillon didn't often visit before.
But ever since Brandon introduced him to Allison, he started demanding to take over Hodge's Wine
from his own father. He even set up a dedicated office as the general manager here. Just as he
walked in, Dillon received a call from his father, Quinn Hodge.
"Dad what's up? I'm busy at work."
Dillon answered seriously upon picking up.
Quinn snorted, "I don't know what kind of brat you are? What are you doing being so busy? Are you
still harassing that female employee named Allison?"
A chip off the old block; Quinn knew exactly what kind of son he had raised!
Dillon smiled awkwardly, "How could that be?"
Quinn hummed coldly before changing tone with some excitement, "Alright enough nonsense, son.
Do we have any business between us?"
"Huh? What business?"
Dillon was confused about what could make his dad so excited like this."Mr. Austin is coming to Edoland!" Quinn said solemnly
