Lachlan’s face was deathly pale as he panted heavily. “You ingrate… You’re a traitorous son…”
Howard’s mother yelled at Lachlan angrily, “Say something, quickly! Hurry up and let that man go! If anything untoward happens to Howard, none of us should live either…”
As a mother, her only hope was to see Howard safe and sound. She could not care less about powers or cultivation. All she cared about was her son.
“I…”
Lachlan’s face was red. If I let Jared go now, I’ll never get another chance like this in the future. Misfortune may even befall our family!
However, his wife and son would continue forcing him to let Jared go if he did not do so. Hence, he found himself caught in a dilemma.
Enraged, Howard’s mother growled at Lachlan again, “What are you thinking? Don’t tell me you want me to die before you too!”
Left with no choice, Lachlan could only turn a blind eye and wave his hand dismissively. “Just go…”
Jared shot Howard a grateful look. Then, he turned and left swiftly without saying anything.
Looking at the rubble that was what remained of his mansion, Lachlan let out an exasperated sigh.
This situation is a prime example of going for wool and coming home shorn.
He was seething with rage but had nowhere to vent it. Since he could not take out his anger on his wife and son, the only person he could take it out on was the one who had sold him the energy-constraining pill.
In his opinion, everything had happened because the pill was a counterfeit.
Otherwise, Jared would already be rendered helpless and awaiting death, and all these wouldn’t have happened!
After leaving the Dunn residence, Jared dragged his exhausted body and hurried toward the Medicine God Sect.
