Chapter 289 Seven-Day Promise

"The Graham family?" Hawkeye Ghost snorted disdainfully at the mention of the Graham family. "They're just a mediocre martial arts clan. I advise you not to meddle! My backer is the Ghost Plaque Sect!"

Raul furrowed his brow at the mention of Ghost Plaque Sect, a true ancient martial arts sect known for its evil and violent practitioners. It was said that their leader was a terrifying powerhouse who had reached the Golden Core realm.

To be honest, in front of such an ancient martial arts sect, even the Graham family wasn't worth much.

Lachlan observed Raul's apprehension and sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected this particular elder from the Graham family to show up at such a critical moment.

He had hoped that he would be saved, but it seemed like even this cyan-robed elder's sect couldn't afford to provoke Ghost Plaque Sect.

Lachlan didn't want to put all his hopes on this man and took advantage of the opportunity to swallow a Minor Revitalizing Pill while using his dragon energy to quickly heal himself.

However, despite his efforts, his injuries were too severe for any significant improvement. But thanks to his dragon energy flowing through him from where it originated in his left kidney area, Lachlan managed not to die immediately from them.

If someone with injuries like Lachlan's were an ordinary cultivator or warrior, they would have died already; death was inevitable under those conditions.

"Hahaha," Hawkeye Ghost chuckled smugly when he saw Raul's reaction. "What? You've heard about my sect before? I'm killing this kid has nothing do with your family! If you don't want trouble, then leave now! After I kill him, I'll leave your territory and we'll go our separate ways."

Hawkeye Ghost could sense that Raul was slightly stronger than him so he resorted instead by boasting about their respective clan's power levels as intimidation tactics against each other instead.

Raul glared at Hawkeye ghost for several seconds before speaking coldly, "Who says killing Mr. Willis has nothing do with us? Mr. Willis is our partner in business dealings with my family; now you're killing him on our turf, what will happen next?"

"No matter what, I will protect Mr. Willis for seven days! During these seven days, you can't touch Mr. Willis!"

Hawkeye Ghost heard that with a stern expression and a cold tone, "Do you really want to interfere? Are you willing to offend the Ghost Plaque Sect for this kid?"

Raul also stared at the opponent and asked in a cold voice, "Do you have a deep-seated grudge with Mr. Willis? Are you sure you want to kill him?"

"He killed my disciple, of course I want to tear him apart!" Hawkeye Ghost replied fiercely.

"Have you thought about it? If you kill Mr. Willis, someone else might want to tear you apart too," Raul warned him in a cold voice.

Hawkeye Ghost's eyebrows twitched as he looked uncertainly at Raul's face and his own wrinkled old face flashed with suspicion and doubt.

At that moment, Raul turned his head towards Lachlan and said, "Mr. Willis, I can protect you for seven days! Seven days should be enough time for you to contact your family."

Lachlan nodded without saying anything because he knew that the Graham family's old patriarch was helping him because of his "background".

Saying that he would protect Lachlan for seven days was also a kind of test!

When Hawkeye Ghost heard this, he looked at Raul then back at Lachlan who had been seriously injured by himself earlier. His eyes flickered with malice before finally saying, "Fine! I'll give you some face and leave you alone for seven days! After those seven days are up... we'll see who can protect you!"

His words were full of hidden meaning!

Hawkeye Ghost also heard the implicit message in Raul's words: Does this kid have someone backing him up?

He thought carefully about it and realized that it was very likely!

Otherwise how could such a young man in his twenties reach Uppecia level?

If that were really the case, then he needed to weigh things carefully.

Hawkeye Ghost began feeling uneasy inside but since Raul was present, there was no way he could kill Lachlan now so he reluctantly agreed instead.

He had made up his mind. After 7-days, they would talk again!

If there really was some powerful force behind this kid, then 7-days should be enough time for him to contact his family anyway...

But if not... hmph...

With these thoughts swirling around in his head, Hawkeye ghost gave one last icy look towards Lachlan before turning into blood shadows disappearing from sight.

At this moment, Lachlan wiped the blood from his mouth and struggled to stand up from the ground. He bowed to Raul and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Graham!" Raul waved his hand and replied, "Mr. Willis, you're a partner of my family. It was nothing to help you."

Then he became serious and added, "But Mr. Willis, you should contact your background as soon as possible. I can only protect you for a while."

Lachlan nodded in agreement.

"That's good! Mr. Willis, you will stay at my family for seven days to recover from you injuries. At least during this time, I can guarantee that you will be safe," Raul said. "No need for that; thank you anyway," Lachlan politely declined.

Although he refused verbally, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Contacting his background? Did he really have any powerful connections? If he stayed at the Graham family all the time, waiting for death would be no different! He only had seven days left!

Within these seven days, Lachlan must gain enough strength to contend with the blood-robed elder; otherwise, it would be a dead end!

The Graham family would also understand that he had no background and wouldn't offend the blood-robed elder or even their sect just because of him anymore.

Afterwards, Lachlan went back to the Graham family again hoping to buy Spirit Jade which could assist him in practicing but returned empty-handed this time around! Matthias mentioned earlier that last time they gave half of their inventory of Spirit Jade which was meant solely for their own people's practice so there was none left over now available for Lachlan's use. Lachlan felt disappointed but thanked Raul again before leaving the Graham family.

After Lachlan left, Matthias looked towards Raul asking, "Grandpa, do you think there really is a clan or sect behind this guy named Lachlan? Today when we stopped Ghost Plaque Sect's expert, might it bring trouble upon us?"

Raul's eyes flashed with cunningness as he smiled faintly saying, "We'll know after seven days. Don't worry; I didn't hurt Ghost Plaque Sect's expert so he shouldn't hold grudges against us!"

"If there isn't any strong force backing up this person named Lachlan, then after 7 days, we won't interfere anymore."

"On the other hand, if he really is the young master of a powerful family or sect, then Lachlan would owe our family a huge favor."

"So no matter what happens, we won't suffer any losses or danger!"

Hearing this, Matthias smiled admiringly and said with admiration, "You are truly cunning!"
