On that day, Lachlan received a reply from the Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect. It was just one sentence, asking him to wait for two or three days, and Tommy would contact him then. After leaving the Sun Moon Security company, Lachlan sat in the car, looking at the building, a hint of indescribable emotion welling up in his eyes.
He knew that the Sun Moon Sect would definitely send someone over. However, they hadn’t discussed any conditions with him afterward. This made Lachlan understand that he was trying to skin a tiger. If the other party didn’t discuss cooperation terms, what did it mean? It meant that they felt it wasn’t necessary. They believed everything was under their control. But Lachlan had no intention of retreating either. He had an obligation to strike at the hidden Willis family. Moreover, deep down, he still had the same desire for that Spiritual Vein. At that time, he could simply reveal his identity as the disciple of Vice Sect Master of the Broken Pulse Sect. Surely, the Sun Moon Sect would be cautious and not easily act against him.
…
In the next two days, Lachlan accompanied Miranda and Nora on a trip to Slocmore. The three of them cherished their time together. Lachlan had no idea that the blood jade that Summer had inhabited would be traced to him by Wicked Bone. He believed that the ancient Willis family wouldn’t find him again so quickly, and there was no need to rush back to the Broken Pulse Sect. At least, he needed to resolve the matter with the island first.
During these two days, Hazel often accompanied them, fostering a relationship and deepening her connection with Miranda. Vaughn also invited Lachlan and Miranda to the Beckman family twice. The Beckman family was no longer solely interested in cooperating with Lowe Group; they wanted to befriend Lachlan and his wife. It was not only because of the debt of gratitude but also due to Lachlan’s incredible medical skills. The regeneration of limb would undoubtedly cause a sensation worldwide. However, Vaughn, along with those present at the hospital that day, knew what should be said and what shouldn’t be divulged.
At noon, Lachlan, Miranda, and Nora spent the morning at the amusement park and planned to find a place to eat outside after coming out. They arrived at a food street where they could find various specialty snacks. As they were wandering around looking for a place to enter, they passed by a Skiola-style restaurant.
At the entrance, it was exceptionally lively. People had set up a platform, and several individuals dressed in Skiola-style martial arts uniforms were performing something on it. There were others holding signs and advertising. It seemed like a Skiola martial arts gym recruiting students.
“Oh, what are they doing? It’s so lively!” the curious child stopped in her tracks and stood on tiptoes, looking around.
Lachlan and Miranda also stopped when they noticed. They considered it as accompanying their daughter to watch a performance.
“Friends from Priocia, our Thousand Shadows Martial Hall recently opened a branch in Slocmore. We welcome everyone to sign up,” at that moment, a man in a martial arts uniform stood proudly on the platform and shouted.
“Our Skiola’s karate, iaido, and other martial arts techniques are the most powerful and practical in the world. They are different from the martial arts routines you have in Priocia, all fancy moves and no substance!”
“If you want to learn real skills, come to our Thousand Shadows Martial Hall!”
As he spoke, he glanced around at the crowd, his face filled with a sense of superiority. It was as if Skiola’s martial arts truly surpassed those of Priocia, and he was someone exceptional.
After his words fell, the crowd immediately began discussing, with mixed reactions. Some were skeptical, while others were displeased. After all, this was Priocia!
“Ha, what era is this? Skiola people dare to show off in Priocia.”
“Look down on our martial arts in Priocia?”
“Who’s going up there to teach him a lesson?”
The crowd buzzed with discussions.
Of course, there were also a few people with no strong stance, who actually went up to inquire or even sign up.
Next, the group of Skiola warriors started their own performance.
One guy took off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles, and stood firmly in a horse stance.
Then his companion took a solid steel pipe and fiercely smashed it against the guy’s body.
The next second, with a muffled sound!
The guy remained motionless, unharmed, while the solid steel pipe bent directly.
Immediately after, the warrior let out a roar and threw several punches, shattering blocks of granite.
Hiss…
This scene was indeed quite shocking, causing the onlookers to exclaim and cheer.
“Wow, they really have some skills?”
“This steel pipe is made of real material, huh?”
“Even the granite is real, not a prop.”
Especially when these Skiola warriors intentionally threw the steel pipe down from the stage, it caused quite a commotion.
“Did you all see that? As long as you join our martial arts hall, you can achieve this level someday.”
The person who spoke initially said proudly, very satisfied with the effect on the scene.
“Nora, let’s go, it’s time to eat.”
At this moment, Lachlan disdainfully pursed his lips and urged Nora.
“Daddy, let’s watch a little longer, they’re so interesting.”
Nora said with a cheerful smile.
“Nora enjoys spectacles, let’s stay for a while, are you hungry?”
Miranda retorted Lachlan with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
“What’s so interesting about it? Watching them show off here?”
Lachlan frowned.
Honestly, he couldn’t bear to watch these Skiola warriors on stage with their arrogant attitude.
He just wanted to leave.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would lose his temper and jump up to knock them all down.
“Fine… Actually, it’s not that interesting. I could break this kind of steel pipe too.”
Nora nodded her little head, seeing her father wanting to leave, she also lost some interest.
“That’s right, just a bunch of performers. Hehe…”
Lachlan said casually, without lowering his voice intentionally, using a normal speaking tone.
However, this was overheard by the Skiola warriors on stage.
The leading warrior, who had been praising Skiola’s karate and belittling Priocia’s martial arts, immediately stared coldly at Lachlan.
“Hey! Priocia person, what did you just say?”
Ika Akaishi angrily questioned.
It had to be said that this guy had sharp hearing.
Of course, the main reason was that his attention was already focused on Lachlan and Miranda’s direction.
With Miranda’s beauty, it was impossible not to attract attention wherever she went.
Such a stunning and captivating Priocia woman, Akaishi noticed her instantly.
And in his heart, he secretly coveted and lusted after her.
So he naturally caught Lachlan and Miranda’s conversation in the first place.
“Priocia person, how dare you say our great Skiola karate is just a performance? This is an insult to us, and we absolutely cannot tolerate it! You must apologize!”
Akaishi angrily demanded.
The others from the Thousand Shadows Martial Hall, who had been ignored, also turned their angry gazes toward Lachlan, emanating a threatening aura.
Moreover, under Ika’s signal, several warriors from the audience walked toward Lachlan and Miranda, vaguely blocking their way.
“Apologize? Hahaha…”
“Thinking too much!”
“You Skiola brats, I advise you to keep a low profile in the territory of Priocia and not cause trouble!”
“Now is not the Priocia of a hundred years ago!”
Lachlan sneered, shaking his head disdainfully.
The next moment, he grabbed Miranda and Nora and confronted the several Skiola warriors blocking their path, saying, “Get out of the way, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“Hey! Insulted us and just want to leave like this?”
“No need to apologize, but unless this beautiful lady here signs up for our Thousand Shadows Martial Hall, you must pay the price for your words!”
Akaishi arrogantly shouted.
His gaze unintentionally swept over Miranda, revealing a hint of evil desire.
Such a beautiful woman, if she signed up for their martial arts hall and came to learn martial arts frequently in the future, he might be able to create opportunities…
Upon hearing this, Lachlan narrowed his eyes.
Heh…
This guy even has designs on my wife?
“Pay the price? I’m curious, what exactly is the price you’re talking about?”
Lachlan’s voice turned cold, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.
“I was just telling the truth. Your Priocia martial arts are nothing but fancy moves!”
“Weak Priocia people, you don’t agree? If you have the guts, come up on stage and compete with me. Do you dare?”
“Hahaha…”
