Lachlan sneered at her words. "So, you're saying that the curse can be lifted even without the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant?"
Last time, this woman had fooled him into believing that the pendant could suppress the curse.
Was she telling the truth this time?
"I... I'm not afraid of you torturing me. Everything I've told you is true!" Summer's eyes flickered as she spoke.
Lachlan asked her how to find the ancient Willis family.
"I don't know! Our hidden branch of the Willis family is just a collateral branch. Only our patriarch and a few core members can find where the ancient Willis family is located! And I advise you not to provoke them now! Not that I look down on you, but even our collateral branch can easily wipe you out!" Summer said with a sneer.
Lachlan's face grew dark as he nodded and stared at her with a hint of menace in his eyes.
Summer shuddered as she felt his killing intent emanating from him. Was this man going to kill her?
"Since your family is just a collateral branch of the ancient Willis family and works for them, if I don't kill you, are you going to inform them about my whereabouts? Are they going to send someone over here and eliminate me as their 'traitor'?" Lachlan said coldly.
"No! I won't tell anyone anything about your situation or whereabouts in my family," Summer replied quickly.
"But there's still my soul card in my family's possession. If it gets shattered after your killing me, they'll know that someone killed me outside and will send people over here to investigate."
"If you spare my life, I promise not to reveal anything about what happened between us," Summer pleaded urgently. She knew he was capable of killing her without hesitation if necessary.
"Why should I believe what you say?" Lachlan asked skeptically.
"At this point, there's no need for me to hide anything from you anymore." Summer admitted reluctantly. "Your grandfather took away the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant from the ancient Willis family, and it is their most precious treasure. Rumor has it that whoever obtains it may gain powerful inheritance and truly stand at the top of this world. So, I have personal motives too. I also want to get my hands on that Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant. As for your whereabouts, I haven't informed my family about it, nor will I contact the ancient Willis family. Therefore, you don't need to worry about me revealing anything."
"I've kept this information hidden. If my family, even the ancient Willis family, were to find out, I would have nowhere to go and be treated as a traitor! So, I will definitely keep it a secret! Trust me!" Summer said earnestly.
Lachlan stared at her intensely as if trying to see through her. His face was constantly changing. He hesitated on whether or not he should take action.
After a while, he took a deep breath and finally suppressed his urge to kill. "I remember you mentioned last time that you didn't need Heavenly Spirit Jade. But I do! Where can I get it?"
Summer inwardly sneered at the naive Lachlan for being from such a low martial world.
"As a member of the hidden Willis family, of course I can obtain resources from my clan so I don't need it! Unless you're willing to come with me and join my clan!"
Upon hearing this, Lachlan frowned and asked, "What else? Do you know where else I can get these kinds of resources or other cultivation resources rich in spiritual energy?"
The ancient Willis family loomed over Lachlan like an insurmountable mountain before Nora turned seven years old; he had no choice but to confront them head-on.
Therefore, Lachlan was eager to improve his strength now.
Summer shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't know about other places but there's the Graham family in Edoland! They should have plenty of cultivation resources right? If you have enough money, maybe you could buy some things from them!"
"Of course if you're strong enough, then maybe try robbing them instead haha..."
As she finished speaking, she showed an amused expression teasing Lachlan.
Lachlan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this and he subconsciously asked, "How strong is the Graham family?"
