Chapter 204 Promise Them

“This Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant was with my father, and I can't replacehim anywhere! What should I do? Is there any other way?" Lachlanasked with a deep voice.

If it was indeed a curse, not only would the Dragon-shaped JadePendant be useless, even if it was effective, it would be too late!

That pendant had already been absorbed by him!

Summer heard Lachlan's response, and a cold glint flashed in hereyes.

In fact, she had always suspected that Lachlan wasn't telling her thetruth, so she wanted to trick him into giving the Dragon-shaped JadePendant to his daughter.

Unexpectedly, he still said this.

It seemed that the pendant was really with his father?

Summer seemed to have lost interest in talking to Lachlan any furtherand shook her head, saying, "No more! Unless..."

"Unless what?" Lachlan urgently asked.

Summer looked at Lachlan, a hint of disdain and mockery flashing inher eyes. "Unless you can go to the ancient Willis family and have thehead of the Willis family personally lift the curse from your daughter!But I can tell you, it's almost impossible. From what I know, yourgrandfather was a traitor to the Willis family. If you really go to theancient Willis family, they will mercilessly kill you. They won't help youat all. Unless you can acquire the strength to confront andcommunicate with the ancient Willis family before your daughter turnsseven, don't even think about it! But I can responsibly tell you that eventhough a Grandmaster is considered the pinnacle in the secular world,they are nothing more than ants in front of the ancient Willis family!"As she finished speaking, Lachlan sat there with an ever-changingexpression.

Summer sneered, glanced at the man disdainfully, and then directly leftby scaling over the wall.

In her opinion, a mere Grandmaster, within less than three years, tryingto face the colossal ancient Willis family, was simply impossible!

“The ancient Willis family! The curse!"

"Nora, if you really are cursed, Daddy will break this damn thing foryou!"

"The ancient Willis family? Are they really powerful? Even if it's theunderworld, Daddy will break through the gates of hell to protect you inthe mortal world!"

After Lachlan’s face went through various changes, it finally becamedetermined.

"Strength! It's all about strength!"

Lachlan gritted his teeth.

The next morning, Lachlan sat by the bedside, watching as Noraopened her eyes.

“Daddy... Daddy!"

As soon as the little one saw Lachlan, she jumped into his arms. Shehad a fit yesterday and lost consciousness until just now when shewoke up.

"Daddy, I had a nightmare! I dreamed that I fell into an abyss, it was soscary and uncomfortable..."

The little one's eyes were filled with fear as she spoke.

Lachlan gently stroked Nora's face and said, "Nora, don't be afraid, itwas just a bad dream! Everything is okay..."

My darling, Daddy won't let anything happen to you!

Never!

"Mhmm! With you here, I amn't scared.”

Nora nodded her head in agreement.

After dropping off Nora at kindergarten in the morning, Lachlan calledEmerson. When he arrived, Lachlan asked directly, “I mentioned beforethat besides money if someone wants to trade some natural treasuresfor elixirs, it's also possible. Have you received any?"

Lachlan realized that the biggest obstacle to improving his strength nowwas the thinness of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Only byabsorbing some natural treasures rich in heaven and earth spiritualenergy could he continue to break through new realms.

Emerson shook his head with a bitter smile upon hearing this, "Not yetMr. Willis; you know how rare even a hundred-year-old ginseng isnowadays."

Lachlan looked disappointed after hearing this news, "Okay then keepan eye out for me!"

"Will do!" Emerson replied.

After sending him away, Lachlan received an unfamiliar call buthesitated before answering it anyway,

"Who is this?"

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's Miranda'sgrandmother!"

"Oh? Mrs. Lowe?"

Lachlan paused for a moment then asked meaningfully because heknew they would contact him sooner or later... and sure enough...

"It's me! Lachlan are you going to keep your word?" Victoria askedhoarsely.

"What word?" he pretended not knowing what she meant.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for quite some timebefore Victoria spoke again in a low voice, "I want to live! I don't want todie!"

"Heheh I understand. I'll come see you right away," smiled Lachlan ashe hung up on her.

When Lachlan met Victoria later that morning, she looked like deathwarmed over - like she could pass away at any moment.

Lachlan knew that Victoria's age and failing health meant that even ifDr. Hall stopped giving her the medicine that drained her energy, shewouldn't live much longer.

Three days!

That was Lachlan's accurate assessment upon seeing her.

"Hey kid, you're here!"

After dismissing the servants by her side, Victoria nodded at Lachlan."Heh heh, your son Romeo and his family are making moves?" Lachlanasked casually.

Victoria looked deeply at Lachlan before nodding in agreement.

"You got it right! Everything you said was right!"

"Ever since that day, Eliza hasn't made me egg custard again!"

"The day before yesterday, Romeo came to see me and hinted aboutchoosing a new family head.”

As she spoke, Victoria picked up a piece of paper from beside her andthrew it on the ground with a dark expression on her face.

“Yesterday they all came! Haha... ha ha..."

"Cough! Cough cough cough..."

She wanted to laugh mockingly but ended up coughing violentlyinstead. After finally calming down slightly she hoarsely said, "Theysuggested I hold a family meeting yesterday to transfer the position offamily head to Romeo! They even brought this will for me to sign.”“They want me to transfer all my shares in the family's assets over toRomeo!!"

After hearing this news, Lachlan sneered, "I knew it would come sooneror later! Let me tell you now - you've been set up by your own sonRomeo and his family - do you believe it?"

Victoria looked at him silently without saying anything; either becauseshe still didn't believe him or because she didn't want to admit it outloud herself.

“Lachlan,” Victoria stared at him with intense desire for survival in hereyes, "you said if I wanted to live, I could come replace you."

"But I also said there were conditions," Lachlan replied with an evilsmile on his face.

Hearing this, Victoria gritted her teeth, "What are your conditions? Tellme now!"

Lachlan shook his head, "Not so fast. We'll talk about them after today.”"Don’t Romeo and his family want you hold a family meeting?"

"Well then, promise them- tonight is when we'll have one."
