Lachlan Willis raised an eyebrow at Claudia Carter’s words.
Her statement was well-organized, and even though he had no trust in her before, he couldn’t help but feel a little shaken now.
Had she really changed after everything she’d gone through?
To form a Soul Covenant with him, allowing him to control her life and death?
Even to the point where he could destroy her soul with a thought?
If Claudia Carter actually went through with it, Lachlan Willis would have no choice but to believe her.
“Alright.”
Lachlan Willis spoke a single word through telepathy, not saying anything further.
He wanted to see what Claudia Carter would do next.
*Whoosh!*
As soon as he finished speaking, Claudia Carter, who had appeared to be meditating, suddenly waved her hand.
A red light, sharp and filled with tremendous force, shot toward Lachlan Willis.
“Lachlan Willis, die!”
Claudia Carter gritted her teeth as she cursed at him.
*Pfft!*
In the next moment, Lachlan Willis was caught off guard as the red light hit him in the abdomen, a splash of red appearing instantly.
He quickly covered his stomach, his expression dark with anger and resentment.
“Claudia Carter, how dare you sneak attack me in front of Master Inkwell!”
In truth, he chose to take the blow, sensing that the attack wasn’t too powerful and that the injury wasn’t serious.
While covering his wound, he quickly stashed the soul gem that Claudia Carter had thrown into his armguard space.
Furious, he glared at Claudia Carter, his eyes blazing with fury.
“Lachlan Willis, you heartless scumbag! You made my life miserable! Not a day has passed when I haven’t wanted to kill you!”
Claudia Carter hissed through gritted teeth.
*Whoosh!*
Before Lachlan Willis could react, Claudia Carter was charging at him again.
At this moment, Isa Austin, Shadow Tiger, and Daemon Lion were all stunned, looking at Claudia Carter in shock as she suddenly erupted in rage.
They hadn’t expected Claudia Carter to be so eager, to act so impulsively and attack Lachlan Willis without warning.
*Boom!*
However, in the next instant, Claudia Carter, who had just lunged forward, was sent flying by a powerful force.
She let out a muffled cry as she was knocked backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a bit of blood from her mouth.
“Claudia Carter, what are you doing? I told you, don’t cause trouble in front of me!
Do you think I won’t kill you?”
Master Inkwell’s figure appeared, his face showing a trace of anger as he scolded her.
Claudia Carter glared at Lachlan Willis, her expression filled with unwillingness and hatred.
After taking a deep breath, she lowered her gaze and said, “Thank you, Master Inkwell, for sparing me! I have deep hatred toward Lachlan Willis, and I lost control for a moment.
I… won’t do it again…”
At this moment, her demeanor appeared pitiful, and her voice carried an air of sorrow and resentment, playing to her tragic image.
Master Inkwell snorted coldly and issued another warning, but didn’t pursue the matter further.
He turned to Lachlan Willis and asked coldly, “Are you alright?”
Lachlan Willis shook his head impassively, “No serious harm.”
Although he knew Claudia Carter was just acting, Master Inkwell didn’t know that.
Seeing Master Inkwell’s biased attitude, Lachlan Willis couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
It was clear that Master Inkwell was favoring Claudia Carter!
Heh, it seems no matter how strong a man is, he can’t escape being swayed by a woman’s beauty.
Claudia Carter sneaks an attack on me, and Master Inkwell just stops her and warns her?
What would have happened if I had attacked Claudia Carter instead?
Thinking this, Lachlan Willis couldn’t help but develop some distaste for Master Inkwell.
Meanwhile, Claudia Carter gave Lachlan Willis a deep look, then snorted coldly and turned away.
Isa Austin, Shadow Tiger, and Daemon Lion exchanged glances before following her.
“Claudia Carter, what’s going on? Why did you suddenly attack Lachlan Willis?”
Isa Austin furrowed his brows and asked, a suspicious look on his face.
“Claudia Carter, what’s the hurry? You attacked him in front of Master Inkwell-what if you angered him?”
“Exactly! There will be other chances to kill Lachlan Willis in the foreign relic. Why rush?”
Shadow Tiger and Daemon Lion added their voices.
But Claudia Carter only sneered and said,
“What do you guys know? I was just testing Lachlan Willis’s strength before entering the foreign relic.
Before this, I heard that he single-handedly fought against over a hundred Fragmentation Void experts.
But when I attacked him just now, even though I didn’t go all out, I still wounded him and broke through his defense.
This proves that his strength is no greater than mine.
The reason he could fight against a hundred Fragmentation Void experts seems to be because of that headless divine bird.
Lachlan Willis, you’re finished this time!”
Hearing this, Isa Austin’s face darkened. “So, Lachlan Willis is actually not that hard to kill.”
“Exactly! If we meet him in the foreign relic and two of us join forces, one person can deal with his headless divine bird, and the other should be able to kill him!”
Claudia Carter nodded, a cold sneer on her lips.
“Hmph!”
“Lachlan Willis, I truly hope we meet you soon in the foreign relic!”
“I can’t wait to tear you apart!”
Isa Austin coldly snorted, instinctively reaching down to touch himself, a wicked look flashing across his face.
The ability to regenerate one’s body was something even Great Vehicle-level experts couldn’t do.
Unless Isa Austin’s physical strength reached the “Shatter Void” realm or his Qi Refinement reached Tribulation Crossing, allowing him to rebuild his body.
Until then, he would remain… castrated.
The one responsible for all of this was Lachlan Willis.
Now Isa Austin felt his strength had surpassed Lachlan Willis’s, and he could barely contain his urge to kill him.
