After leaving the McLaughlin family's villa, Lachlan saw a lonely figure walking ahead of him, with his right arm hanging limply and powerless.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Emerson turned around and his face changed instantly. "Are you here to kill me?" he asked angrily, staring at Lachlan with seriousness.
"No," Lachlan shook his head.
"Ha-ha, why? You're so fierce that I thought you were chasing after me to take my life."
In the next second, he looked at Lachlan with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Thinking about his disabled right arm filled Emerson's heart with grief and anger!
Lachlan raised an eyebrow and felt his emotions. He smiled slyly and asked, "What are your plans? Are you still planning on harming them?"
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the villa.
Emerson shook his head, "I have no plans. I can't go back to the mountain anymore! My master thinks my comprehension is too low and kicked me out of it! As for harming him? Ha-ha... it's not interesting anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan was surprised and speechless. Emerson looked about thirty years old but had already reached the peak of Dark Force late stage! This kind of strength was already very rare, wasn't it?
He was actually kicked out by his master because of low comprehension?
"Who is your master anyway?" Lachlan couldn't help but ask incredulously.
"Master Osvaldo Swanson from Buckingline Mountain! My master not only excels in various mystical arts but also medicine; he is also a renowned Grandmaster powerhouse in Priocia!"
Emerson spoke proudly about his own master but then had a dejected look on his face again.
Being kicked out by one's own teacher was one thing that made him feel ashamed more than anything else.
This was also why earlier when Lachlan said that Emerson's strength was "mess," it made him so angry.
Because deep down inside himself - he believed this too…
Thinking about how he now had one useless arm left made Emerson feel even more hopeless; feeling like this will be how things will be for him forever now.
"Master Osvaldo Swanson? Never heard of him..." Lachlan shook her head expressionlessly as he replied.
If Jay, the self-proclaimed top player in Kreanford, were here now, he would surely recognize the name of this "Master Osvaldo." But Lachlan was never part of the martial arts circle before, so he had never heard of him!
"What?" Emerson was proud to mention his master but was surprised when Lachlan said he had never heard of him. "Are you insulting me? Insulting my master?" He asked angrily.
"No, I really haven't heard of him," Lachlan shrugged and then looked at Emerson with a thought. "Since you have nowhere else to go, why not follow me from now on?"
"Follow you? Why should I? You've already crippled me!" Emerson complained bitterly. Feeling his right arm completely powerless except for excruciating pain made tears flow down his face uncontrollably.
Seeing such a big man crying so easily made Lachlan feel awkward. "What if I could heal you?" He asked.
"Heal me even though I'm already crippled? If you can heal me, not only will I follow you but also worship you as my teacher!" Emerson didn't believe it.
"Okay," Lachlan nodded and grabbed Emerson's right hand next second while channeling dragon energy into his body through the acupoint on his palm.
Emerson felt warmth spread throughout his entire arm and all pain disappeared! Not only that but all eight extraordinary meridians that were blocked before were opened one by one by those streams of heat!
