Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 If I Can Break It, I Can Set It Up!

Master Soidho now understood what was going on and explained to the McLaughlin family, "It's like how some foods are harmless on their own, but when eaten together, can be poisonous! The pool, fish, and mirror are all lucky items that can even ward off evil spirits. But after being arranged in a certain way, these auspicious objects have become a geomancy killing formation! Someone with great skill and extreme malice must have done this. If it weren't for Mr. Willis seeing through it all, your family would never have peace again! To be honest, even if your family were to fall apart or perish completely, I'm not exaggerating at all!"

Hearing this made the McLaughlin father and son feel uneasy.

"Could it be that gardener?" Philip's face changed constantly as he couldn't understand why someone would want to harm his family.

He decided then that he needed to find the gardener and get to the bottom of everything.

At this moment though, Darwin looked at Lachlan with suspicion in his eyes. "Master Soidho couldn't see through this geomancy killing formation but you just happen to notice it? Tell me you didn't conspire with that gardener just so you could scam my family out of 30 million dollars?"

The thought of having to pay Lachlan 30 million dollars made Darwin extremely unhappy.

"Just because you broke one little mirror doesn't mean we owe you 30 million!" His gaze towards Lachlan became dark.

"What? You're trying not pay up?" Lachlan's eyes turned cold as well. He didn't expect that after helping them avoid disaster he would still get accused like this!

30 million was agreed upon beforehand; now they wanted out?

"I saved lives before. I can take them too! I can break formations just as easily as create them!" His voice was filled with murderous intent as he spoke each word slowly. "If you don't pay up, then your whole family will suffer!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, an aura of terror emanated from him, causing Darwin's face turn pale while Philip and Master Soidho trembled in fear.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" The next moment, Philip snapped back to reality and scolded his son. Then, he put on a friendly face and quickly said to Lachlan, "Mr. Willis, please don't mind my son's attitude. You've saved our family, and 30 million is not enough! So, I'll add another 20 million for you."

"No need, 30 million was the agreement," Lachlan replied with a stoic expression, waving his hand.

"No! This is a token of my sincerity. You must accept it!" Philip said firmly. He didn't doubt that Lachlan had colluded with the gardener and understood the significance of having a geomancy master like Lachlan for the future of the Mclaughlin family. If this geomancy killing formation was indeed set up by the gardener, they might need Lachlan's help when they found the culprit.

Seeing that Philip was insistent, Lachlan didn't refuse.

When Lachlan had arrived, it was Darwin who had picked him up, as they had a favor to ask of him. But when Lachlan left the Mclaughlin family, Master Soidho left with him and gave Lachlan a ride back to the Emerald Green Estates.

"Dad, are you crazy? Why did you give him an extra 20 million?" Darwin complained after Lachlan had left.

"Shut up! It's just money; we gave it to him. It's better than not knowing how to die," Philip retorted sternly.

Darwin wore a displeased expression, and his gaze turned dark.

"Willis, 50 million! You really dare to ask for it. Let's see how capable you are!"

"Damn it! You need to have the luck to ask for the money, but you also need to have the luck to spend it!"

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lachlan, accompanied by Mason, arrived at the Graham family's auction.

Edoland's western outskirts, a private estate covering hundreds of acres, was the location of the Graham family and the venue for the auction.

Normally, they turned away all guests, only opening up during the auction.

By 8 a. m., the estate was already filled with a variety of luxury cars. Lachlan and Mason parked their car outside, underwent security checks at the entrance, and then walked inside.
