Chapter 598 Innocent Girl
Chapter 598 Innocent Girl
"Just now, that handsome guy took care of four or five people by himself?" After a while, the girl finally spoke to her boyfriend.
At that moment, the boy had already been shocked by the scene earlier, sitting in his seat without saying a word.
Just then, Lachlan came back after washing his hands outside. Seeing that the middle-aged men had already left, he wasn't surprised at all. To him, dealing with those people was just a trivial matter and not worth paying attention to. If they hadn't underestimated their abilities, he wouldn't have bothered with them at all.
"Big... big brother, please have a seat!" The young couple, seeing Lachlan return, clearly had a touch of fear in their eyes as they smiled and spoke to Lachlan.
Lachlan saw their expressions and understood that they must have been frightened by the earlier scene. He wanted to explain something, but shook his head and simply lay down on the bed. After all, they were just strangers who happened to meet, and there was no need for further interaction.
The train continued moving forward, and Lachlan's compartment remained unusually quiet. The middle-aged men who had left didn't return even after getting off the train.
It wasn't until the next morning, after Lachlan had a good sleep, that he saw the train gradually coming to a stop, reaching its destination, Merton City. He stretched lazily and muttered to himself, "Finally arrived. I should try to avoid taking trains in the future if I can. They really waste too much time."
Outside the train station, there was a sea of people. Lachlan greedily breathed in the fresh air outside. After entering the Broken Pulse Sect this time, he had no idea what he would face. An ancient martial sect... Lachlan felt a sense of curiosity welling up inside him.
Just as Lachlan was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a light laughter from behind. Then an excited voice sounded, "Hey, sir, we meet again. Is this your first time in Merton?"
Turning around, Lachlan realized it was the family he had exchanged tickets with when they boarded the train. They had been very friendly, and Lachlan had a good impression of them.
"Yes, I've heard of the famous Horizon Mountain in Merton, and I wanted to come and see it this time," Lachlan replied, which was not entirely a lie. The territory of the Broken Pulse Sect was located deep within Horizon Mountain.
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl across from him suddenly brightened up and said to Lachlan, "What a coincidence! We're also going to Horizon Mountain! Would you like to go together? Horizon Mountain is near Westunity, and it will take some time to get there. We have relatives in Westunity, so we can guide you there."
The girl seemed to have a great liking for Lachlan and talked without stopping. Lachlan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing that the adults around her didn't object, he agreed. After all, he wasn't in a hurry, and it would be nice to have company on the journey. Moreover, Lachlan could sense that the girl's family... might also be cultivators. Interesting...
Upon hearing Lachlan's acceptance of her request, the girl cheered and reached out her hand to Lachlan, saying, "Sir, my name is Fiona Morrison. This is my dad, this is my mom..."
At this point, Lachlan suspected that Fiona's talkativeness wasn't because she had a liking for him, but rather because she might naturally be a chatterbox. After introducing everyone behind her, Fiona looked up and asked Lachlan, "Sir, what's your name?"
"I'm Lachlan Wills!"
Lachlan chuckled lightly; he couldn't bring himself to dislike this naive girl. If Nora grew up, she would probably be just like her.
"Hehe, Mr. Willis, don't mind her," Fiona's father said.
"My daughter spends too much time cooped up at home, so she's excited to be out for a trip."
"If you don't want to, you could leave first."
Just then, a middle-aged man approached Lachlan and smiled at him.
Lachlan exchanged a few polite words with the man.
They were also heading to Horizon Mountain, and they were cultivators too!
Could it be that they were also going to the Broken Pulse Sect? Lachlan couldn't help but speculate.
With this in mind, Lachlan smiled and said, "It's no problem, I'm alone anyway."
"We can travel together, and it's nice to have company."
After hearing Lachlan's words, Fiona's excitement grew even stronger, and she immediately took Lachlan's hand and walked forward.
She continued to chatter along the way, constantly talking to Lachlan.
However, most of it was about food; it seemed she was a foodie...
Fiona appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was actually only thirteen or fourteen. Due to her cultivation, she had developed well for her age. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
This was the most innocent and romantic age, where she held onto purity and curiosity about everything.
Her family followed behind, watching Lachlan and Fiona with smiling faces, seeming very indulgent towards Fiona.
However, before they had walked far, they ran into a large group of people.
Lachlan took a closer look and recognized the middle-aged man he had beaten up on the train leading the group.
As soon as the middle-aged man
saw Lachlan, his face instantly filled
with anger, pointing at Lafed
cursing, "Bastard, you can fight, huh?!"
and
"If five people couldn't deal with you, I've brought thirty people this time!"
"Let's see how you fight now! Brothers, get him! Dare to lay a hand on me? Don't you know Buck Baldwin's status in Merton?!"
"Finish him!"
With Buck's roar, many people turned their gaze in this direction.
But upon seeing the conflict, they quickly dispersed and didn't dare to gather around.
The locals had heard of Buck's notoriety; he was a famous gang leader. If they attracted his attention, they might face retaliation.
As Buck's voice fell, the crowd behind him swarmed towards Lachlan with a whoosh.
Each of them had a fierce expression on their faces, cursing, "Dare to touch Buck? Did this guy disrespect you?"
"Come here and apologize to Buck on your knees! We might consider going easy on you!"
"Otherwise, breaking one of your legs would be the least of it!"
Various threatening voices echoed around, causing Fiona's family to furrow their brows.
Especially Winston Morrison, Fiona's father, narrowed his eyes, emitting an invisible aura.
They had important matters to attend to on their journey to Horizon Mountain with their daughter. They couldn't let these thugs delay them.
With this in mind, Winston stepped
forward and calmly said to Buck,
"Gentlemen, let's talk it out! It would be best if we don't resort to violence!"
Winston didn't want the situation to escalate; he didn't want to harm ordinary people. His first thought was to defuse the situation. However, when Buck heard his words, he burst into laughter and said to Winston, "Best not resort to violence? What if I insist on it?"
"Are you all with this guy? If not, you better get lost!"
"Today, I'm determined to make this bastard bleed!"
Buck shouted at Winston, and soon his gaze, filled with ferocity, fell upon Lachlan.
