Chapter 287 The Feeling of Heart-Pounding Fear

On that evening, a desolate and quiet wasteland!

On the roadside, there was a van parked.

A person rode a motorcycle and arrived at this place late at night.

This person was Theo!

The van flashed its headlights twice and as Theo rode over; he opened the car door and jumped straight in.

"Hey."

In the car, Kayden sat in the passenger seat and turned around with a smile, asking.

"Um! How did I do today?" Theo asked pleasingly.

"Not bad!" Kayden turned around and patted his shoulder.

"The remaining money... you see..." Theo's face was full of anticipation.

However, as soon as the words fell, a strong and powerful arm tightly locked around Theo's neck.

Theo suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe, as if his neck was being strangled.

"What... what do you mean?" His eyes bulged as he stared Kayden down.

"The remaining money, I will burn it for you! Hahaha..." Kayden pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and cruelly taunted with a smirk.

Click!

The next moment, his professional enforcer by his side swiftly snapped Theo's neck.

Kayden chuckled a few times, looking at Theo's corpse and disdainfully spat out a "pfft".

On the other side, inside Emerald Green Estates villas!

"Daddy, didn't Miranda say she is coming to live with us? Why hasn't she come yet?" Before going to sleep, the little one lay in bed and asked.

Due to Claudia's situation, Nora was greatly lacking in maternal love. Miranda had been accompanying her during this time, making the little one feel a mother's tenderness and care.

She had overheard Miranda talking to her dad several times, mentioning that they would "live together" after the wedding, so she had been looking forward to it. However, the wedding was over today, and Miranda still hadn't shown up.

"Don't you have me, Nora?" Lachlan sighed inwardly and asked his daughter with a smile.

"Oh..." Nora nodded and blinked her big eyes a few times before asking, "Daddy, did you have a fight with Miranda?"

"Yeah..." Lachlan hesitated for a moment and then said with a bitter smile.

Little Nora snorted and looked at her dad, asking, "You're not going to change wives again, are you? Daddy, I think Miranda is pretty nice." Lachlan broke out in a sweat upon hearing this and touched the little girl's head, saying, "What are you thinking about? Go to bed quickly!"

After finally putting Nora to sleep, Lachlan went to the study and took out his mother's diary to review it.

He had already read the entire diary a few days ago. The important information it revealed included several points: his parents were both formidable martial artists with significant strength. His father was a strong cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation, and his mother was surprisingly at the later stages of Uppecia. In addition, his grandfather had disappeared without a trace after going to Lucoork West. According to his mother's diary, both his parents and his grandfather were searching for the same destination, a place called "Cloud Sea Mountain Base."

His mother mentioned in the diary that his grandfather had hinted that within this "Cloud Sea Mountain Base," there might be a method to break the ancient curse of the Willis family.

However, the exact location of this place was unknown to his parents, only that it was in a certain area of Lucoork West. Despite Lachlan's geographical knowledge, there seemed to be no mention of a place called Cloud Sea Mountain Base in Lucoork West. Perhaps it was well-hidden.

In the diary, his mother expressed that, even though both she and his father were cultivators, she did not want to continue on the path of cultivation. She just hoped to live a peaceful life. Looking at the elegant handwriting in the diary, Lachlan felt a deep nostalgia for his parents.

After closing the diary, he sighed, "Mom, my child is destined to carry a curse. How can I possibly live a peaceful life? Perhaps, it's predestined by the heavens! I've already embarked on this path! If it's my fate Nora's fate, our family's fate, I will not accept it! I will do everything in my power to defy fate!"

The next day, after dropping Nora off at school, Lachlan, as usual, drove to pick up Miranda and take her to the company.

Even though he had planned to file for divorce in a few days, Miranda didn't want anyone to notice anything unusual between them before that.

At least, they had to maintain appearances for Emmanuel and Cara, even though they had probably sensed something was amiss yesterday.

After getting in the car, Miranda said expressionlessly, "I've thought about it. When the time comes, we'll say it's because of issues related to having children, that our values don't align, and we had a big fight, leading to a messy breakup."

Hearing this, Lachlan chuckled in disbelief, "Wouldn't that make your parents feel awkward? Let them think they pressured us for a grandchild, and that's why we divorced? Or you could just lie to them and say I cheated. I can be the villain. After all, I don't care about your family's opinion once we're divorced."

Miranda's expression froze for a moment at his words, and a complex emotion flickered across her exquisite face. Soon after, a deep sense of mockery surfaced.

"Hehe, let you be the villain? Lachlan! Are you still pretending at this point? Well, you don't know that there are plenty of secretly taken photos of you 'wandering off the path.' If I hadn't seen those pictures, maybe I would have been deeply moved by your words. Lachlan, you fraud!" Miranda thought to herself.

"Hehe, let's talk about it later."

Miranda sneered, her face devoid of any emotion. Lachlan glanced at her, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

After dropping off Miranda at work, Lachlan drove straight towards the western suburbs of Edoland to visit the Graham family and see if he could get some Spirit Jade or other cultivation resources again. After breaking through to mid-Uppecia last time with those Spirit Jades, they had all been used up.

Half an hour later, Lachlan had left Edoland city and was driving on a mountain road towards the Graham family. There were rarely any people here! After arriving here, he suddenly felt uneasy as if something terrible was watching him.

Suddenly, there was a figure in front of him standing in the middle of the road wearing blood-red robes with sinister eyes looking over at him! In broad daylight even Lachlan felt an eerie atmosphere emanating from this person!

With screeching brakes on his car stopping by the side of road, Lachlan got out staring suspiciously at this person before him whose depth he couldn't fathom!

Looking at this person made Lachlan feel like his heart was pounding even though previous encounters with the Graham family head or several late-stage Uppecia elders didn't give him such feelings!

A master! A powerful expert whose strength completely surpassed his own!

"Kid, are you ready to die?" At that moment, the old man in blood robe gave an evil grin full of malice.

A terrifying killing intent swept over towards Lachlan!!
