Chapter 773: Compromising to Kill
Blood RoyalMary watched helplessly as one of her most powerful tribesmen was killed right in front of her by Lachlan.
A sense of deep sadness and anger welled up within her.
Seeing the lifeless bodies of her tribesmen strewn across the Bloodline domain, she felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
This human powerhouse had the audacity to single-handedly slaughter the Bloodline.
It was only after witnessing Lachlan effortlessly kill the rank of Viscount and other powerful individuals that Blood RoyalMary finally realized the gravity of the situation. Should she annihilate Lachlan and the Bloodline or should she be killed by him?
The answer to this question seemed to have already been decided.
“Stop! Powerful being from Priocia… please… stop!” she pleaded.
“We can discuss any requests you have right now!”
“I will have someone bring your mother-in-law to you!”
“I implore you… cease!”
Finally, with a deep sense of helplessness, Blood RoyalMary suppressed her inner hatred and indignation, retracting her crimson whip. She spoke softly to Lachlan.
As her words fell, Lachlan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a sharpness. “If only you had done this earlier, wouldn’t it be better?”
Blood RoyalMary clenched her teeth and took a deep breath, abandoning the haughty demeanor befitting a queen. With an attitude of equality, she looked at Lachlan and said, “You have proven yourself capable of negotiating any terms with me!”
As the ruler of Bloodline, Blood RoyalMary had enjoyed a position of dominance for far too long. She had felt as if she were superior to anyone, even above life itself.
Her orders were like sacred decrees that others had to obey.
How could she possibly negotiate with Lachlan at first?
Especially when Lachlan was holding a hostage from Bloodline to meet her.
No matter how Lachlan spoke or acted, her initial attitude towards him was to subdue or even kill him.
But it was only when Lachlan killed those who made Blood RoyalMary feel powerless that she realized he was an existence capable of speaking to her as equals. It had to be said that this was the rule of this world!
When others cannot see your strength, no matter how much you say, it is meaningless.
When you possess a power that makes others tremble, you do not need to say much, and the other party will willingly sit down and talk to you!
Foolish roaring only makes people laugh! But the silence of a powerful individual is deafening!
With Blood Royal’s compromise, the Bloodline members around her, as well as the surviving three Viscounts, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Their gazes towards Lachlan resembled that of looking at a terrifying demon. Finally, the demon had stopped.
Blood RoyalMary then led Lachlan back to the Bloodline’s grand hall and walked towards Augustus, who was still lying incapacitated on the high seat. Augustus’s limbs had been broken, his spine severed, rendering him completely immobilized.
As one of the heads of Deity’s Tears and a Count of the Bloodline, upon seeing Blood Royal return with Lachlan, he realized the answer to his own questions. “Augustus, where did you take Mr. Willis’s mother-in-law? Bring her here!” Blood Royal commanded coldly.
Upon hearing this, Augustus glanced at Lachlan in horror, realizing that this Priocia powerhouse was capable of making the almighty Blood Royal capitulate.
For a moment, Augustus was filled with mixed emotions. Just what kind of terrifying existence had Deity’s Tears provoked?
He did not dare say much and immediately contacted Mr. Roy, who was a member of Deity’s Tears under the Haios Corporation, to send Cara back to the Human Cryogenic Base.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Cara was not actually sent to the Bloodline territory.
Previously, Augustus had only wanted to trick Lachlan into coming here and let the stronger Bloodline experts deal with him.
But he never expected Lachlan to be so powerful that he could handle the entire Bloodline without breaking a sweat. “Sending her back to the Haios Corporation?”
Lachlan’s eyes flashed with coldness as he asked.
“Mr. Willis, sending her back to the Haios Corporation is the safest option since your mother-in-law is still in cryogenic sleep! Rest assured, the Haios Corporation has no direct relationship with Deity’s Tears, only Mr. Roy is a member of Deity’s Tears,” Augustus explained with a bitter smile.
Lachlan coldly snorted and waited here for about half an hour.
During this time, the atmosphere in the Bloodline grand hall became tense, and silence blanketed the place as everyone struggled to breathe.
Lachlan, covered in blood and emitting a formidable aura, stood silently, exerting immense pressure on everyone. Finally, when Augustus received a reply from his subordinates, Lachlan made a phone call to Miranda, asking her to go to the Haios Corporation’s Human Cryogenic Base to confirm whether Cara had been sent there. After receiving confirmation, Lachlan finally let go of his worry. “Mr. Willis, your mother-in-law is safe and sound, and you have not suffered any losses either. Now, can you leave?”
Blood RoyalMary stared at Lachlan intently and asked in a deep voice. The presence of this Priocia powerhouse, who surpassed her in strength, gave Blood RoyalMary a tremendous amount of pressure as long as he was present.
She couldn’t kill him, yet he possessed the power to wipe out the Bloodline.
Blood RoyalMary desperately wanted Lachlan to leave and rid herself of this calamity. “Leave? You kidnapped my mother-in-law and tried to capture my wife, endangering my life, and now you expect me to simply leave?”
Lachlan sneered, his eyes fixed on Augustus. Hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Blood RoyalMary’s face.
You devastated the Bloodline and yet I am expected to offer an explanation.
But as she met Lachlan’s gaze, a hint of murderous intent also flickered in her eyes. “Very well! I will offer you an explanation! This injustice has a perpetrator, and since this matter was instigated by Augustus, I will use his blood to extinguish your anger!”
Blood RoyalMary nodded, coldly staring at Augustus.
The latter trembled and revealed a mix of fear and panic, pleading, “Your Majesty… spare me! Your Majesty… have mercy, please… do not kill me…”
Swish!
Before the words could even settle, the crimson whip had already coiled around Augustus’ neck. In the next moment, the whip tightened, severing Augustus’ head, which rolled to the ground at Blood RoyalMary’s feet like a watermelon.
Because of this Augustus, the Bloodline suffered heavy casualties, even losing one of the Dukes. Blood RoyalMary couldn’t seek revenge on Lachlan at the moment, so she could only vent her hatred on Augustus. After all, it was because of him that this situation arose!
If it weren’t for Augustus bringing Lachlan here, the Bloodline wouldn’t have suffered such losses.
Not to mention that Lachlan wanted to kill Augustus, even Blood RoyalMary wouldn’t spare him.
“Are you satisfied now, sir?” Blood RoyalMary asked in a deep voice.
However, Lachlan shook his head and said, “Not enough!”
Hearing those words, Blood RoyalMary’s expression instantly changed!
