Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Broken Picture

Sierra could sense the change in Lachlan's demeanor, and her face couldn't help but contort. The man who had just approached her with a smug look on his face seemed to have transformed from a mangy dog into a vicious wolf!

"What's gotten into you? Why should I tell you anything?" Sierra furrowed her brow and coldly retorted.

Bam!

As soon as she finished speaking, Lachlan stomped his foot and made a move towards Sierra.

Sierra's face turned pale, but she quickly formed her fingers into swords and pointed them towards Lachlan's chest. In that instant, she unleashed all of the power of Transmutation Force at its initial stage, attacking with incredible speed and ferocity. Even the air around them whistled as her fingers sliced through it.

However, when faced with Sierra's attack, Lachlan showed a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Crack!

With one swift motion, he slapped away Sierra's attack before grabbing hold of her neck with both hands and lifting her off the ground.

"Where did this jade pendant come from?" he demanded. "Tell me! Otherwise I'll make sure you experience what it feels like to beg for death!"

Sierra blushed deeply at being held so close by this terrifying man who showed no mercy or regard for beauty. She struggled to breathe under his grip while feeling shocked by his strength. How was it possible for someone at Transmutation Force initial stage like herself to be so powerless against him?

"It... it belonged to someone who passed away," she gasped out finally after some hesitation.

Lachlan trembled slightly upon hearing these words; his eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? Someone who passed away?"

"Relic ..."

The next moment, he released Sierra and, with red eyes, demanded, "Speak! Continue speaking! Whose relic is it? Where is that person?"

Sierra hesitated for a moment, looking at Lachlan in this state, and secretly made some guesses in her heart.

"That was eight years ago when I had just passed the sect's test and went down the mountain for training! Along the way, I encountered a dying middle-aged couple. This jade pendant belonged to that woman..."

Next, Sierra recounted the events of that year.

The condition of the middle-aged couple was extremely bad, covered in injuries, and marked with purple patterns all over their bodies.

Sierra brought the two back to the sect, hoping that her master could save them. However, a few days later, both the man and the woman died, and they died in extreme agony.

"They died horribly! Those purple marks on their bodies erupted from the inside out, and some terrifying bugs even crawled out of them! It's hard to imagine how much pain they must have endured before death. My master said they fell victim to a curse from some ancient martial arts family. This curse was used by that family to punish traitors!" Sierra explained.

At this moment, Lachlan was trembling violently all over his body. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Which family? Did your master mention it?" He looked at Sierra with red eyes and said.

"Is it a family called the Willis family from ancient times?"

Upon hearing this, Sierra shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about that. My master is very secretive about it and doesn't say much!"

"Are the man and woman buried in your sect?" Lachlan's voice trembled slightly as he choked out the question.

"No! My master performed sky burial for them." Sierra shook her head and said.

Sky burial was a traditional burial method in Lucoork West. After a person died, the body was transported to a designated location to be consumed by birds and animals.

Upon hearing these words, Lachlan went crazy and let out a loud roar as he charged towards Sierra.

He grabbed Sierra's shoulder and asked, "Sky burial? Why sky burial? Why do you have the right to handle their bodies?"

Sky burial?

Then, wouldn't his parents' remains be completely gone!

Sierra watched Lachlan, who looked like he was going crazy, and felt her heart pounding with fear. She was truly worried that this man might kill her in a fit of rage.

"Sky burial is the greatest respect for the deceased in our customs! It represents the immortality of the soul and reincarnation!"

"I'm sorry, my master meant well!"

Lachlan stared at Sierra. It seemed like an eternity before he finally released her.

Thud!

He staggered, and his body, as if losing all support, collapsed to the ground.

His parents were dead??
