Chapter 776: Heart of the Blood Progenitor
Two days later…
As Cara was sent back to the cold storage base of Haios Corporation, Lachlan and Miranda made sure to stay put for twenty-four hours to avoid any further mishaps.
They wanted to ensure that there would be no more accidents once Cara could be unfrozen.
On this day, Lachlan and Miranda were introduced to Alice’s and Hazel’s mentor, Dr. Stein, a world-renowned human genetics expert.
They met this giant of the scientific world with Nora, following Alice’s introduction.
In the eyes of Lachlan, the curse of the Ancient Willis family appeared to be somewhat hereditary, randomly appearing over generations.
Aside from having the Ancient Willis family remove it themselves, could it be treated through scientific means instead?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Given the opportunity to meet Dr. Stein, a top expert in human genetics, Lachlan naturally seized it.
Thankfully, with Alice being Dr. Stein’s favorite disciple, she was able to persuade him to meet with them.
Upon hearing about Nora’s condition, Dr. Stein expressed genuine interest in this “curse.”
In Alice’s office at Haios Corporation, the two met with Dr. Stein.
He was an unkempt elderly man with thick lenses, clearly a scientific genius who neglected the details of life.
Using various instruments, he conducted a comprehensive examination of Nora.
He also collected the young girl’s blood and bone marrow for analysis and research, promising to provide results as soon as possible.
At the same time, he would do his best to find a way to treat this “genetic disease.”
Of course, Dr. Stein did not make any guarantees.
Lachlan and Miranda were willing to try anything, and they were already satisfied as long as he did his best.
While Dr. Stein led Nora into the examination room for various tests, one of Alice’s subordinates suddenly entered.
“Mr. Willis, there’s someone outside who wants to see you!”
“They mentioned discussing compensation with you.”
Hearing this, Lachlan raised an eyebrow, let out a nonchalant “oh,” and after greeting Miranda, he left.
Inside a luxurious and extended motorhome!
Upon entering, Lachlan saw a seductive figure lounging on the oversized bed in the motorhome. It was none other than the Blood Royal, Mary.
Beside her stood a handsome middle-aged man, the head of Deity’s Tears, Duke Deity’s Tears.
“Blood Royal, it looks like you’re ready to compensate me, right?”
Upon entering, Lachlan sat nonchalantly on the sofa and asked nonchalantly.
Seeing Lachlan’s attitude, Duke Deity’s Tears, who had never seen Lachlan’s intimidating wrath that day, suddenly turned cold, wanting to rebuke him.
How dare he be so disrespectful to Her Majesty the Queen! Unforgivable!
However, Blood RoyalMary gestured for him to stay quiet.
Lachlan was someone who could sit on an equal footing with her and even had the ability to kill him, at least until the Blood Sacrifice was completed!
Strength defines attitude!
Mary smiled apologetically, and a hint of resentment and grievance appeared on her enchanting and eerie face.
“Lachlan, there really isn’t anything remarkable that our Bloodline can offer as compensation! Do you have to make things difficult for me?”
Seeing her in this state, Lachlan rolled his eyes and said, “Stop with the act! If you don’t give me satisfactory compensation, I’ll go and slaughter the entire Bloodline!”
“You’re… such a ruthless person!”
Upon hearing these words, Mary gritted her teeth and said.
Moments later, she sighed and said, “If there really is something valuable that can pique your interest, it would probably be the Heart of the Blood Progenitor.”
“Heart of the Blood Progenitor? What’s that? Show it to me!”
Lachlan’s interest was piqued, and he asked eagerly.
“It’s the heart of the vampire progenitor, the ‘Cain’ demon king! Obtaining this heart would grant most of Cain Devil’s powers. If used to forge a weapon, it would be comparable to a divine artifact. Even if consumed directly, as long as your body is strong enough to withstand the power within the Heart of the Blood Progenitor, it would greatly enhance your strength.”
“Now that our Bloodline has fallen and is struggling in the Bloodline domain, experts like Lachlan could single-handedly exterminate our entire race. There really isn’t any other valuable treasure for you in our clan.”
Mary’s eyes seemed to show a hint of loneliness as she spoke.
The proud Blood Royal actually appeared pitiful in front of Lachlan, surprising Duke Deity’s Tears and also raising some admiration.
“Blood ProgenitorCain Devil’s heart?”
Lachlan murmured and expressed great interest, reaching out and saying, “I can accept that! Show it to me!”
Upon hearing this, Mary smiled bitterly and shook her head, “The Heart of the Blood Progenitor is not in our Bloodline’s hands.”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan almost lost his temper. Not in their hands? What nonsense is this?
“Blood Royal, are you playing me?”
Lachlan’s expression and tone turned cold.
“No! I’m truly sincere. I can tell you where the Heart of the Blood Progenitor is, and you can retrieve it yourself. With your strength, isn’t it just a matter of time before you get it?”
Shaking her head, Blood RoyalMary’s tone carried a hint of seduction as she said, “Don’t play tricks with me. Either give me compensation directly, or let’s have another showdown. Would you want to set a trap for me?”
Lachlan was no fool; in fact, he was more vigilant than anyone else.
