Lachlan glanced at Jared and asked in a calm tone, "Why do you say that?"
"That day at the hospital, Emerson, who was with you, was the seller of this pill! And he is your man, Mr. Willis. You can't deny it," Jared said as he stared at Lachlan.
At this moment, the proud old man waved his hand impatiently and said with a hint of annoyance, "Jared, don't beat around the bush!"
Then he looked at Lachlan with a dominant expression on his face and said, "Young man, we won't waste any more time talking to you. Give us the formula and method for making Nourishing Essence Pill. The Graham family will buy it!"
This old man's name was Harley Graham; he was not only an alchemist for the Graham family but also a grandmaster strongman.
He held an aloof position within the Graham family and had equal status to that of an elder; therefore, he received respect from others all year round.
However, because of this status quo in society where people respected him too much over time made him arrogant towards others.
After hearing what Harley had to say, Lachlan looked at him with a playful expression on his face, "The Graham family wants to buy it? What kind of price are you willing to pay?"
Harley snorted, "Don't you want Spirit Jade? The Graham family will give you one hundred pounds of Spirit Jade plus 100 million dollars for the Nourishing Essence Pill formula! Of course, you must also write down its specific manufacturing method."
Upon hearing this offer from Harley, Lachlan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Are you joking with me, sir? Spirit Jade is already promised as my reward for saving Mr. Graham's life! And 100 million dollars? Are they even enough? One Nourishing Essence Pill costs millions now! I have already earned 100 million by selling these pills till now!"
Harley's face darkened as he threatened in his tone, "Kid, don't be too greedy! This offer is already good enough for you! The Graham family hasn't even started investigating your responsibility yet by selling these pills privately!"
Jared frowned as well while warning Lachlan, "Mr. Willis, please stop while ahead."
Lachlan's expression turned cold as he spoke sarcastically, "Investigate my responsibility? That's ridiculous! What do you mean by 'I am selling these pills privately'?"
Harley snorted and slammed the table, saying, "What do you think? Edoland and the surrounding areas have always been monopolized by Graham family in the medicinal market. Who allowed you to interfere and compete with us for market share?"
"If you're smart, hand over the formula for this Nourishing Essence Pill, and from now on, you're not allowed to sell it anymore!"
"Otherwise, the Graham family will settle accounts with you!"
"This is ridiculous! Do I need your permission to sell medicine? What do you mean by saying that the market is monopolized by your family?" Lachlan retorted indignantly.
It was laughable that they acted as if they were some kind of authority figure. Not only did he have to hand over his formula but he also couldn't continue selling his own medicine in the future? The Graham family was too domineering!
"Hmm?" Harley's face turned cold as his eyes showed undisguised hostility.
Jared also spoke coldly, "Mr. Willis, I advise you to be sensible! You can't afford to provoke the Graham family."
Lachlan chuckled before standing up directly, "There's nothing more to talk about here! Goodbye!" He then looked at Jared coldly, "Oh yeah, don't forget about Spirit Jade! The Graham family won't default on their debts, right?"
Jared and Harley's faces immediately turned ugly upon hearing this. This guy not only refused to hand over Nourishing Essence Pill's formula but also dared ask for Spirit Jade? For many years no one had ever been so arrogant in front of them before.
The experts of the Graham family were numerous; their heritage profound; people from the Graham family relied on their familial strength which made them accustomed towards being domineering.
Now these two men had hit a wall against Lachlan; anger surged within them both.
"You still want Spirit Jade?" Harley sneered.
He flashed forward blocking Lachlan's path while glaring at him menacingly, "Kid, today if you don't give us that pill recipe, then don't even think about leaving here!"
