Chapter 657 Contacting the Sect Master

For Sun Moon Security to have a Golden Core expert presiding over it is already quite impressive. After all, it is just one of the many money-making companies established by the Sun Moon Sect in the outside world. In dealing with tasks in the secular realm, a Golden Core expert is sufficient in most cases. In fact, the Golden Core expert presiding over the security company has never taken on any meaningful tasks since its establishment.

When the business manager heard Lachlan’s words, his expression changed immediately. He looked at Lachlan with a hint of hostility in his eyes. “Sir, a Golden Core expert is not enough for you? Haha, are you joking with me?”

Lachlan curled his lips and asked, “What’s so fun about joking with a grown man like you?”

“Hmph! You’re asking for death! Do you know what kind of existence is behind our security company? This is not a place where you can cause trouble. I want to see how capable someone who even looks down on Golden Core experts is!” The business manager’s face darkened.

In the next second, he suddenly jumped up from his office chair and rushed towards Lachlan, with condensed energy surging on his fist. He possessed mid-Core Formation strength, and perhaps he didn’t intend to directly take Lachlan’s life, so he held back his punch. However, even a restrained punch from an early-Core Formation expert still carried the power of a full strike.

Lachlan raised an eyebrow and faced the punch without any change in his expression. He didn’t even bother to block or dodge. He simply activated the Unyielding Earth Technique.

Lachlan’s physical strength alone was equivalent to the peak of late-Core Formation. Even without using True Energy, the Unyielding Earth Technique made him impervious to a strike from an early-Core Formation expert.

Boom!

A muffled sound!

Lachlan directly withstood the punch, standing there motionless. However, the floor beneath his feet crumbled due to the force, but Lachlan himself was unharmed. On the other hand, the business manager, a mid-Core Formation expert, was pushed back several steps.

To the business manager, it felt as if he had punched a mountain. The terrifying recoil made his fist ache and his arm numb.

The business manager’s face changed dramatically, and he looked at Lachlan with astonishment and uncertainty. “Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to our Sun Moon Security?”

As he spoke, the business manager quickly dialed a phone number. His expression became serious as he stared at Lachlan as if facing a formidable enemy. He knew that he couldn’t handle someone who could withstand the attacks of a high-level Core Formation expert.

Lachlan chuckled, “Don’t be nervous! Didn’t I say I just came to hire some helpers? You’ve seen my strength. Now, do you still think Golden Core experts are enough to assist someone like me when needed?”

Upon hearing this, the business manager’s expression became uncertain. He felt that today’s matter was no longer as simple as business.

Boom!

Just then, a loud noise reverberated. A middle-aged man burst through the door and rushed into the office in a hurry. “Mr. Gallagher, what’s going on?”

This middle-aged man exuded a powerful aura, and he stared at Lachlan with a cold and stern expression as he asked in a deep voice. He was the Golden Core expert overseeing this place.

Tommy Gallagher saw Lachlan withstand his attack without any reaction and heard his words. Doubts immediately arose in his mind.

“Mr. McCain, calm down and don’t act rashly for now.”

Tommy signaled to the middle-aged man with a glance, then turned to Lachlan and asked in a deep voice, “Sir, you’re saying that the Golden Core experts are not enough, so… do you want to hire Nascent Soul powerhouses from us to assist you?”

Upon hearing this, the later arrival, the Golden Core expert known as Mr. McCain, couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

Upon hearing Tommy’s words, this kid came to hire people?

But their own Golden Core expert wasn’t enough?

“That’s right, I want Nascent Soul powerhouses to be my assistants!”

“And the number should not be less than… three!”

“If you can find Nascent Soul late stage experts, or even peak late stage, that would be even better.”

As the words fell, Lachlan nodded seriously.

His expression didn’t look like he was joking at all.

“Hahaha…”

“Kid, what kind of joke are you making?”

“Do you even understand the concept of Nascent Soul powerhouses?”

“Do you think such existences can be hired? And you want at least three of them?”

“Are you cracking a joke, or… trying to cause trouble?”

Franco McCain couldn’t help bursting into laughter, his tone mocking and scornful.

He then glanced at Tommy and silently asked with his eyes if he should take care of this kid himself.

However, Tommy’s face flickered for a few moments, but he slightly shook his head at the other party.

In the next second, his tone turned serious as he asked Lachlan in a deep voice, “Sir, if you are not joking, and you have managed to find your way here to seek assistance from Nascent Soul experts, then… you must know what lies behind our Sun Moon Security Company, right?”

Lachlan nodded and took a seat.

“If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have come! Could it be that your Sun Moon Sect has fallen to the point where you can’t even dispatch three Nascent Soul experts? I have money, so name your price!”

Lachlan’s goddess wife was currently making a fortune, and her wealth had already exceeded billions.

And just two days ago, the Graham family had transferred a considerable sum of money to him from the proceeds of selling elixirs, totaling more than a billion.

So Lachlan was now quite wealthy and domineering.

Upon hearing this, both Tommy and Franco were taken aback.

“Hehe, since the gentleman has mentioned Sun Moon Sect, it seems you have come here with a purpose.”

“However, getting Nascent Soul powerhouses involved is no longer a question of money.”

Tommy shook his head and continued with a solemn expression, “A Nascent Soul powerhouse is involved in too many matters. Such an existence, even if helping others due to interests, to some extent represents the stance of the sect. In other words, if your enemies have no grievances with our Sun Moon Sect, and our Nascent Soul powerhouses help you, it will likely make Sun Moon Sect an enemy of your enemies. We, Sun Moon Sect, have no reason to unnecessarily make enemies because of you. So, if you truly came here to find help from Nascent Soul powerhouses, you can give up on that idea. Regardless of the amount of money, we won’t consider it!”

As his words fell, Lachlan sighed inwardly.

He thought it would be as simple as hiring Nascent Soul powerhouses with money. Even if it cost tens of billions, he could grit his teeth and spend it without revealing so much information to the Sun Moon Sect.

After all, Lachlan had his own ideas about that Spiritual Vein.

Being able to hire several Nascent Soul stage thugs who would just do the job without asking questions would be the best.

But now it seemed that he had been thinking too much…

“Unnecessarily making enemies? I’ve heard that the secluded Willis family is your mortal enemy, right?”

Lachlan asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Tommy, who had previously been resolute and had already given the order to expel Lachlan, suddenly changed his expression.

Franco, on the other hand, asked in disbelief, “Kid, what did you say? The secluded Willis family? Are you trying to hire Nascent Soul powerhouses to deal with the secluded Willis family?”

“That’s right! So, can we discuss it now?”

Lachlan nodded and asked.

However, Tommy coldly snorted and shook his head, “There’s no need for that. Even if it’s the secluded Willis family, our Nascent Soul experts would never be bored enough to help you deal with them. There are plenty of people who have a grudge against the secluded Willis family, would our Sun Moon Sect help every Tom, Dick, and Harry? Just because we also have a grudge against the secluded Willis family? That’s ridiculous!”

Speaking, his tone changed, “Unless there are sufficient benefits at stake, worth involving Nascent Soul experts.”

“There are! A Spiritual Vein, is it enough? The Willis family has discovered that Spiritual Vein now. I want to take it back. So, Sun Moon Sect, are you interested in cooperating with me?”

Lachlan asked in a deep voice.

As his words fell, the expressions of Tommy and Franco changed.

“Spiritual Vein? Are you telling the truth?” Tommy asked.

“Absolutely! But you probably don’t have the authority to negotiate with me on behalf of Sun Moon Sect. Let someone who can make decisions in the sect talk to me.”

Lachlan nodded, his attitude becoming somewhat domineering.

“Yes! If it really involves a Spiritual Vein, then I did say it doesn’t count. Wait a moment, I’ll contact our sect master!”
