Chapter 263 I Haven'T Said AnythingChapter 263 I Haven't Said Anything
As far as he knew, those hidden families and sects that sent their descendants out to train often did
so in secret, not allowing their descendants to reveal the details of their family background. Only
those 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 were
top-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 it
interesting for you to ask about these things? Don't ask what shouldn't be asked. Just tell me if
you're willing to cooperate with me!"
Upon hearing this response from Lachlan, Matthias' expression froze! Even the high-level members
of 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 on
the Graham family. However, including Matthias himself as well as other elders present at the scene
didn'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 could
ordinary people in society know about these things? And according to what Lachlan said earlier, it
seemed 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 and
produced so many different types of elixirs.
"I understand now! I apologize for my impertinence Mr. Willis!" Matthias suppressed his inner shock
and smiled apologetically, "Cooperation! The Graham family is certainly willing to cooperate with
you, Mr. Willis!"
"Yes Yes!! It would be our honor if we can work together with you, Mr. Willis!" Harley also quickly
expressed 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 continue
introducing other types or even higher grade elixirs."
Lachlan spoke calmly while secretly laughing at Matthias' reaction along with all other members
present from the Graham family.
He knew that these people definitely didn't know how to figure out his background, but he didn't
care. 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 the
details 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 with
a 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 on
his face.
Jared was taken aback by this sudden movement and looked at Lachlan suspiciously. "What... what
do 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 Graham
family for help, "Sir... elders..."
Matthias blinked a few times before shaking his head slightly to signal for others not to act rashly.
noveldramaAt this point, Lachlan pointed at Harley and gritted his teeth at Jared, "I saved your young master's
life 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 had
mediated between us instead of forcing me with this old man, then I wouldn't have blamed or
accused you!"
"But back then there wasn't even an ounce of hesitation or guilt on your part! You even tried having
my 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 dead
without any sound.
"You..." A senior member from the Graham family shouted angrily upon seeing such brutality unfold
right before their very eyes. However, this time around, Matthias waved them off again signaling
them not take any action recklessly.
This time around, the headmaster deeply looked into Lachlan's eyes, gave one last glance towards
Jared's corpse, but did not say anything further.
If it were someone else who dared commit murder within the Graham family territory, Matthias
would 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 him
couldn'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.
That afternoon outside the Graham family estate, several young members of the Graham family
helped Lachlan load a box full of Spirit Jade onto his car at Matthias' request. In addition to thatwere packets of herbs over 100 years old.
"Mr. Willis, I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future!" Matthias bowed respectfully and
said goodbye.
"Good! I'll leave first!" Lachlan nodded indifferently before stepping on the gas pedal and driving
away quickly into the distance.
Fortunately for him, today's business was resolved perfectly; he also reached an agreement with
the Graham family.
He handed over formulas and refining methods for several elixirs to the Graham family which their
alchemists would use to make these elixirs.
Half of what they sold would go towards Lachlan's profits while the Graham family fulfilled their
promise by giving half their inventory consisting mainly of three hundred pounds worth Spirit Jade
along 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 was
all 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 - how
much stronger could he become?
