“They even built a manor here?” Lachlan pointed to the building in front of him as he walked inside, casually asking.
“Yes, it was built by Mason,” Dennis nodded in response.
“Well, not bad! It’s better than sitting outside on the ground,” Lachlan laughed and then asked casually, “How is the cultivation here?”
Jeremy quickly replied, “The cultivation environment here is excellent. The spiritual energy is more than ten times denser than in the city. And with the techniques and the Spirit Jade and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you provided, we have all reached the Divine Realm. This was unimaginable before.”
The Divine Realm, also known as the Uppecia Realm, was the term used by cultivators in the secular world. For Dennis, Jeremy, and the others, reaching the Transmutation Force or even the Grandmaster realm was something they didn’t dare to dream of before. However, with Lachlan’s help, they had broken through to the Divine Realm in just a few months. The speed of their improvement was truly astonishing.
But when Lachlan heard this, he shook his head. “What is the Divine Realm? It’s still too slow. You will all reach the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even higher levels one day…”
Dennis and Jeremy were shocked and yearning at the same time when they heard this. However, no one thought Lachlan was boasting. His words were the truth to them now. If Lachlan said they could achieve it, then they definitely could.
“In some time, I will provide you with an even more suitable cultivation environment!” Lachlan patted Dennis’s shoulder and couldn’t help but think of the distant island.
When Dennis and the others heard this, their eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
At this moment, Lachlan looked at the people gathering in the manor, raising an eyebrow. “Hmm? Makhi and Emerson and their group are not cultivating here?”
“They used to come here regularly, but we haven’t seen them recently. They have their own business, and it’s not appropriate for us to inquire,” Jeremy explained.
“Oh?” Lachlan raised an eyebrow at the response. Yesterday was his father-in-law’s birthday, and as his subordinates, Emerson and Makhi should have attended. But they didn’t show up. And they haven’t been here to cultivate recently?
Could something have happened?
With that thought, Lachlan’s heart tightened. He didn’t chat further with Dennis and Jeremy, and quickly left in his car.
At 9 a. m., Lachlan arrived at “Lachie Fire” Security Group. He saw a young man who was on duty at the reception desk, and he quickly greeted him. “Mr. Willis, you’re here.”
The young man was one of the members of the Blood Slaughter Association, originally affiliated with Makhi, so he naturally knew Lachlan.
“Where are Emerson and Makhi? Are they at the company?” Lachlan asked casually.
“They’re not here. They went on a mission!” The young man shook his head.
“On a mission? Then who is at the company?” Lachlan raised an eyebrow and asked.
The young man sighed bitterly, “Except for some newly recruited security members, almost everyone else is out on missions. There’s hardly anyone at the company. No one is left to guard the office either.”
Lachlan was taken aback by the response, his expression becoming peculiar. The young man nodded and explained the situation to Lachlan.
These people, Makhi and the others, were originally mercenaries overseas. After returning, they formed the Blood Slaughter Association and started working as assassins. Later, they were recruited by Lachlan and teamed up with Emerson to establish the “Lachie Fire” Security Group.
However, Makhi still maintains contact with his former comrades overseas and some mercenary organizations. Especially after establishing the “Lachie Fire” Security Group and rapidly increasing their strength during this period, Makhi and Dagger had more frequent contact to bring business to the company.
Just a few days ago, Makhi received a request from a former “comrade” he had collaborated with, asking for his help in completing a mission for a mercenary organization. This mission is said to be extremely dangerous and requires skilled individuals, and the number of people should not be too small.
However, the reward offered is also astronomical, reaching a whopping 1 billion US dollars. Makhi and Emerson discussed it and decided to take the job.
1 billion US dollars, even if they don’t take any other missions for a while, they would still earn a fortune. However, to be on the safe side, Emerson and Makhi took almost all of their strongest group of veterans and went overseas.
After listening to the young man’s explanation, Lachlan nodded silently without saying anything. As the behind-the-scenes person of Lachie Fire Security Group, he entrusted the management to Emerson and Makhi. Since they had made the decision, Lachlan couldn’t say much. Moreover, 1 billion was indeed worth it. As long as nothing unexpected happened!
However, with the strength of their group, there shouldn’t be much danger in taking on a mercenary mission. Thinking this way, Lachlan didn’t call Emerson to inquire, lest he interrupted them during the mission. Not to mention whether they could answer the call, it would be troublesome if he exposed their location.
In the following days, Lachlan spent his time accompanying Miranda and Nora, occasionally getting together with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He cherished every minute and treasured the time spent with his family.
Time flew by, and a week passed without any major incidents. And then, on this evening, just as Lachlan had finished dinner with Miranda and Nora and returned to the Emerald Green Estates villa, he received a phone call. It was from Sullivan, the vice sect master of the Broken Pulse Sect.
The Broken Pulse Sect, an ancient sect, although isolated from the world, had its ways of contacting the outside world.
“Master!”
After answering the phone, Lachlan respectfully greeted him.
“Haha, Lachlan! I heard that you went down the mountain with a female disciple named Samantha before? Now, Samantha has already returned to the sect. When will you bring Nora back? You are now a disciple of the Broken Pulse Sect, and if the Ancient Willis family wants to harm you, they won’t hesitate anymore. If there’s nothing urgent, it’s better to return to the sect as soon as possible. I’m really worried about you,” Sullivan’s voice sounded concerned and filled with kindness.
It seemed that he cared a lot about Lachlan, his junior disciple.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan smiled and said, “Master, please rest assured. In a few more days, I will send Nora back to the sect first. I have some things to take care of. Once I finish, I will also return. Nothing unexpected will happen.”
“Oh? You have something to take care of?” Sullivan’s tone seemed slightly displeased. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “In that case, let Kyrie handle it and take Nora back to the sect first!”
