Chapter 695 Meeting Claudia Again
“Claudia?”
Lachlan looked at the enchanting woman, and to his surprise, furrowed his brow.
He harbored no illusions about this woman, his ex-wife. The only feeling he had for her was disgust.
Yet, at this moment, Claudia was wearing a purple dress and seemed… even more lovely than before.
Claudia was naturally alluring, with a seductive aura about her.
After her divorce from Lachlan, she had even managed to seduce other wealthy men, despite having a child and a previous divorce.
Though her character was questionable, she still possessed a considerable allure.
And now, she seemed even more… captivating.
Her peach blossom eyes seemed capable of bewitching souls, and her movements exuded a seductive charm.
Her skin appeared smoother and whiter, with an added air of mystery.
Lachlan was astonished. This woman had also become a practitioner?
And her strength had reached the early Core Formation stage?
What Lachlan didn’t know was that, despite her radiant appearance, these had been the darkest times in Claudia’s life.
She had endured abuse and humiliation from Mr. Hurst of the Heaven Gap Sect, suffering at the hands of a twisted old man.
No one knew the extent of her torment in serving a man both physically and mentally broken.
But she had eventually come to terms with it, even stooping to nauseating acts to please Arthur, seeking his favor and protection.
Claudia had now become Arthur’s favorite in the Heaven Gap Sect, gaining a significant position with his help and even embarking on her own cultivation path.
However, not a day went by that Claudia didn’t harbor thoughts of revenge against Lachlan.
In her mind, everything she endured at the hands of Arthur was because of Lachlan’s callous abandonment.
Now, she sought to become strong enough to make Lachlan kneel before her and beg for forgiveness.
“Heh, Lachlan, you are truly despicable!”
“Aren’t you Miranda’s lackey? Yet here you are, flirting with other women behind Miranda’s back?”
“Tsk tsk, this pretty little thing is quite something! What a mistake to follow you.”
Claudia glared at Lachlan, her eyes filled with resentment and mockery.
To her side, a group of young people accompanied her. Among the men, they all shared a common trait: fair and clean-shaven faces.
One of them was a familiar face to Lachlan.
The moment Claudia mentioned “Miranda,” a cold expression appeared on his face – it was Isa!
Seeing him, a fierce killing intent surged in Lachlan.
He had not forgotten Nora, whom Isa had almost had killed.
His determination to kill Isa, the former young master of the Chu family, had not waned.
However, Lachlan had now become a disciple of the Broken Pulse Sect, a figure from ancient times.
He could only rely on his physical strength to harm others. His raw physical strength was equivalent to the late Core Formation stage.
But Claudia and Isa were all above the Core Formation Realm, with Isa even reaching the peak of the late Core Formation stage.
Without being able to unleash his full power, it seemed difficult to take down Isa.
“You’re asking for it, Lachlan!”
Isa cursed through gritted teeth, as if he was about to rush to fight Lachlan.
But at that moment, a resounding slap rang out.
Claudia’s hand struck Isa’s face hard.
“Get lost!”
Claudia coldly scolded him and sneered, “Lachlan, you underestimate me! Flirting with Isa? He’s not worthy!”
“This eunuch now calls me his teacher!”
Biting her teeth, Claudia repeatedly struck Isa, drawing the attention of the restaurant’s patrons and staff.
At this point, Claudia seemed to live only for her grudges against Lachlan and Isa.
From Arthur’s mouth, Claudia learned that Isa had introduced her to the man who now favored her.
So, she took every opportunity to torment and humiliate Isa in return.
Isa, once arrogant and domineering, couldn’t hold his ground against Claudia’s slap. He even stooped to bow and apologize, “Thank you, Teacher!”
Claudia snorted and didn’t even glance at Isa, just glaring at Lachlan.
“Lachlan, we’ll see about this! One day, I will repay you tenfold and a hundredfold,” she declared.
With Isa and the other young men, Claudia went upstairs to a private room at the restaurant.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Lachlan’s eyes showed a flicker of regret.
He suppressed his urge to act against Isa.
Unfortunately, Claudia and Isa’s deeply rooted resentment against him didn’t drive them to attack.
Lachlan knew that he couldn’t act rashly. Bringing Orderwarden was inevitable if he retaliated against Isa in anger, and the consequences would be dire.
If he was killed by Orderwarden, Nora’s curse would never be undone.
Although he wanted to avenge his daughter by killing Isa, Lachlan knew he had to weigh the risks carefully.
Meanwhile, Lachlan was also surprised.
Encountering Claudia today had been unexpected!
Isa had seemed to join an Ancient Martial Arts faction called the Heaven Gap Sect, which Lachlan knew.
Previously, he had even clashed with a Golden Core late-stage expert by Isa’s side, almost forcing the opponent to self-destruct elixir field.
But now, Claudia had joined the Heaven Gap Sect?
And had even become Isa’s teacher?
Heh… Lachlan couldn’t help but mutter: What an eventful sect!
