Chapter 594 Mysterious Elder
"Don't worry, she won't die!" Lachlan approached and examined Ariel's injuries, then calmly said, taking out a pair of silver needles.
After all, she was a relative of the Harris family, and Lachlan couldn't just let her die. As for Ariel's sarcasm towards him earlier, Lachlan didn't pay any attention to it at all.
When a person reaches a certain level, how could they care about the opinions of ordinary people? Lachlan simply regarded this woman with a condescending and indifferent attitude.
After a moment...
Lachlan withdrew the needles and stood up, and Ariel's pale face regained its color.
Her eyes, which had almost lost their vitality earlier, now sparkled with life again. If it weren't for the bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, no one would believe that she had been on the brink of death just moments ago.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but be amazed by Lachlan's extraordinary medical skills, which seemed almost godlike.
Ariel, now fully conscious, opened her mouth and murmured, "Tha... thank you. I'm sorry about earlier."
Gone was the arrogance she had displayed before. She would never dare to underestimate Lachlan again. With the abilities he had just demonstrated, both in martial arts and medicine, he could easily surpass not only the Harris family and the Gesner family, but even many other powerful families. If Lachlan nodded, he could become an esteemed guest anywhere in Edoland.
It was truly puzzling why he would lower himself to marry into a mere first-class family in Edoland. Could it be for the sake of love?
If that were the case, one would be hard-pressed to find another man who would stoop so low for love. Such are the thoughts of some people. A momentary decision can change everything.
Lachlan, of course, was unaware of Ariel's thoughts. He had never really cared about this woman in the first place.
Now that he saw everyone was fine, including the guards outside who had merely fainted, he let out a sigh of relief. However, he knew that this matter was far from over.
Even if he had to chase them to the ends of the earth, he would uncover the identity of those people. With this ticking time bomb, Lachlan couldn't rest easy, especially when it came to Miranda and the others. No one could guarantee that these individuals wouldn't harm their loved ones.
The fortunate thing was that after Miranda absorbed some of the soul energy from the Lord of Evil Spirits, her physical strength had reached a level comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert.
As Lachlan contemplated whether he should seek Kyrie's help, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.
"Make way! Make way! Mr. Harris is injured!"
"Quick, get a doctor! Mr. Harris was ambushed on the way here!"
"Damn it! What were those people just now? I blinked, and Mr. Harris was like this!"
As angry shouts resounded, a group of people carried Eduard inside. However, upon seeing the chaotic scene in the room, they froze in place, unsure of what to do.
Seeing this, Lachlan furrowed his brows and approached to examine Eduard's injuries. The people around Eduard were unfamiliar faces and clearly didn't recognize Lachlan. One of them instinctively blocked his way and coldly spoke, "Who are you? You can't approach Mr. Harris without permission!"
Their reaction sent a shiver down the spines of Ariel and the others, who subconsciously looked at Lachlan with worry, afraid that he might suddenly take action.
With Lachlan's skills, if he made a move, these people would surely meet their demise!
"Make way, let Lachlan through!" Just then, Eduard coughed violently and weakly spoke.
"Mr. Harris, what happened?" Lachlan bypassed the crowd, examining Eduard's injuries while speaking to him.
"I was just about to reach the front door when I suddenly saw several figures fleeing."
"I sensed something was off about them, so I naturally tried to stop them."
"But as soon as I intervened, one of them struck me with a palm, causing my injuries!"
After finishing his words, Eduard coughed again, this time spitting out a mouthful of blood, indicating a severe condition.
Eduard's strength was only at the Transmutation Force level, making him no different from an ordinary person when facing a Golden Core expert.
"Dad!" Scarlet screamed tragically, preparing to rush towards Eduard.
Lachlan stretched out his hand to stop her and whispered, "We can't disturb his injuries right now. Leave it to me.'
"With me here, everything will be fine." Lachlan's face had turned extremely grim.

The nature of Eduard's injuries indicated that they were caused by the black-clothed individuals who had just left. Although their attacks were casual, they were not something regular people could withstand.
Lachlan took out a pill and placed it in Eduard's mouth, his brow tightly furrowed. He couldn't help but worry about the five Golden Core experts. Just then, Lachlan suddenly felt a strong pressure enveloping him, as if he was a small boat in the ocean, completely out of his control. He dared not move at all.
Vast
When he looked up, he saw an elderly man with white hair standing outside the villa.
The man was dressed simply and held a whisk in his hand, smiling lightly at Lachlan.
With a flick of the whisk, Lachlan felt the terrifying sensation completely dissipate, while the ordinary people nearby seemed oblivious to his previous experience. It was evident that this old man was targeting him!
Could it be that he was an accomplice of the black-clothed individuals? Lachlan narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
Based on his previous experience, he knew that he was no match for the old man if he made a move now!
"Young friend, did those five Golden Core experts attack ordinary people just now?"
Just then, Lachlan suddenly heard an indistinct voice in his ear. He turned his head and saw that the voice came from the nearby old man. However, this voice seemed to be directed only at him! A transmission into his ear?
Lachlan was startled and pondered
for a moment before stepping forward and walking towards the old man. Regardless of the situation, he knew that he couldn't escape if the old man made a move. It was better to be straightforward and maintain some dignity.
Seeing Lachlan calmly approach him, the old man's eyes flashed with surprise. Having traveled the world for many years, he had encountered countless individuals stronger than Lachlan. However, it was the first time he had seen a young person so composed in his presence. It
seemed that this young man's
temperament was extraordinary.
"Senior!" Lachlan greeted respectfully, speaking with a respectful tone. "If you want to know what just happened, I will tell you everything!"
"Young friend, don't be afraid. I just want to understand the situation." With a light smile from the old man, Lachlan promptly recounted everything that had just happened.
After listening to Lachlan, the old man's face immediately darkened. His aura suddenly exploded, and in Lachlan's eyes, countless fine threads of spiritual energy swiftly attacked from all directions.
They were dense and estimated to number in the millions. The sheer quantity was terrifying. Shocked by this sight, Lachlan saw a cold smile emerge on the corners of the old man's mouth. "You still want to escape?"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
