Next, Lightless took out his specialized satellite phone and had Black Star give it to Victoria so she could contact Lachlan.
Lightless could see right through Victoria's thoughts, but he wasn't in a rush to kill anyone just yet.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lachlan had returned home after seeing Nora off and was practicing various moves in his large courtyard.
In his hand was none other than the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade, which he swung through empty space with each strike.
His swordsmanship was powerful and exquisite; every strike carried an aura that seemed capable of splitting mountains.
The technique he was practicing at this moment was called "Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan," a move that consisted of nine different sword techniques.
He had selected this move from among his inherited memories since he now possessed the Divine Weapon known as Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade and infused it with his own soul. It required a corresponding sword technique to match its power.
From first to ninth style, Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan's power increased gradually. The first strike alone packed thirty percent more force than Lachlan's usual attacks. By the fifth strike, its strength doubled; by eighth strike tripled; and by ninth became five times stronger than normal attacks!
However, using Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan consumed an enormous amount of energy!
With Lachlan's current level of cultivation and strength, if he were to execute five strikes starting from first style consecutively, then all energy within his field elixir would be depleted instantly!
At first, Lachlan's movements were a bit awkward and stiff, but after repeating them several times, he had already grasped the essence of the Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan technique.
The understanding of swordsmanship largely depended on the control of the "sword."
When a warrior reached the state of "unity of man and sword," learning any sword technique became much easier.
For Lachlan, the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade, infused with his own "sword soul," was like an extension of his body.
The moment Lachlan grasped the Divine Weapon in his hand, he naturally entered a state of unity between man and sword.
At that moment, his phone, which was in the pocket of the clothes he had taken off, began to ring urgently.
He glanced at it and saw an unfamiliar number.
Without much thought, Lachlan answered, "Who is this?"
"I'm Victoria. Come to the old mansion. I've already arranged the share transfer contract. Once Emmanuel signs it, we can proceed."
Victoria's voice carried a hint of bitterness, seeming very unwilling.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan responded with a teasing tone, "So fast?"
Ha, so she's afraid of dying after all!
She's in a hurry for me to help her solve the crisis, huh?
"Didn't you ask me to come as soon as possible?" Victoria snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
Unfazed, Lachlan called his father-in-law and went to pick him up to head to the Lowe Residence.
Upon hearing that Victoria was so forthcoming, Lachlan's mother-in-law, Cara, was somewhat surprised and expressed her desire to go along as well, curious to see how Victoria's face would look so displeased.
Knowing Cara's desire to vent her frustrations, Lachlan naturally obliged his mother-in-law's request and drove her there.
...
Victoria, leading the rest of the Lowe family, stood outside the gates of the old mansion, facing Lightless and the other two.
Perhaps it would be inappropriate to say they were confronting each other. To be precise, they were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, awaiting their judgment.
Every second felt like an agonizing torment to them.
