And on the other side of town, seven days had passed and today, Hawkeye Ghost arrived in Edoland with a heart full of murderous intent.
He first thought that Lachlan was seeking refuge with the Graham family, so he went there to look for him.
After being told by the Graham family that Lachlan was not there, Hawkeye Ghost spent a day lurking at Lachlan's villa in Emerald Green Estates while Kristina and Darwin helped him gather information about Lachlan.
But despite knocking out Lina along the way, he came up empty-handed.
Even Kristina and Darwin couldn't find any trace of Lachlan. They even gave him some "bad news", that Lachlan had been missing for two or three days already.
"Damn it! Did this guy escape? Hmph!" Hawkeye Ghost was furious when he heard this news.
That night, he went back to the Graham family again.
"Why are you here again?" Matthias asked as he looked at Hawkeye Ghost's unsettling aura in the living room.
Even though Matthias was an Uppecia expert himself, he still felt uneasy around Hawkeye Ghost's strong presence.
"I'll ask you again. Is it true that Lachlan isn't here?" Hawkeye Ghost asked coldly as his eyes glared fiercely at Matthias.
"He really isn't here! He left on that day and hasn't returned since!" Matthias replied with a frown on his face.
Hawkeye Ghost continued to stare menacingly at Matthias, "I warn you, according to my agreement with your old patriarch Raul, seven days have passed! Your family only agreed to protect Lachlan for seven days! Today is already the eighth day and an entire day has gone by! If I come looking for revenge against Lachlan again, your family should stay out of it!"
Matthias wanted to say something more but then a voice filled with authority interrupted them both, "Lachlan is indeed not here at my family! I keep my word, after seven days have passed, we won't protect him anymore!"
They turned their heads towards Raul who walked into the living room looking serious as ever while making this promise firmly known.
"Is that so?" Hawkeye ghost asked coldly while staring straight into Raul's eyes.
"Of course it is true! My dear friend... judging by your current appearance... did you fail to find what you were looking for?" Raul asked curiously.
Hawkeye Ghost snorted heavily, "That guy disappeared! It's been two or three days since he vanished in Edoland, like he evaporated from the face of the earth!"
Raul and Matthias exchanged a glance at each other.
The next second, the old patriarch shook his head disappointedly. "Two or three days? Could it be... he ran away?"
He spoke with a hint of contemptuous indifference. "It seems that I overestimated Lachlan."
Matthias' face also darkened, his expression changing constantly.
"Did he run for his life? Does Lachlan have no background at all?"
Hawkeye Ghost looked at both men with an uncertain expression on his face.
It seemed that Lachlan was really not here.
"Since Lachlan is not here, I'll take my leave!" With that said, he lifted up his blood robe and left the Graham family directly.
At this moment, Raul glared at Matthias and muttered dissatisfiedly. "Matthias, did you misjudge him? Now it seems like Lachlan is nothing! You were so concerned about him for nothing!"
Matthias smiled bitterly and sat there in silence.
In his heart he thought: Could it be that Lachlan really has no background? But how could someone without any background reach Uppecia realm at such a young age and even master so many methods to refine medicine? Perhaps things were not as simple as they seem...
On the other side of town, Dennis and several henchmen followed Miranda secretly in their car. As they passed through a secluded road section suddenly a car rushed out blocking their way ahead.
Dennis' group's faces changed instantly!
"Oh shit! Are we going to get into trouble?"
"Ram into it!"
Dennis gritted his teeth and gave orders directly to one of his subordinates who was driving.
The subordinate nodded slightly then stepped hard on the accelerator pedal.
The SUV engine roared loudly as its speed suddenly increased towards the car which stood blocking their path ahead.
