Miracle Doctor Daddy

As Scarlet finished speaking, the group of herbalists and Atkinson father and son all looked at Lachlan with disdain.

If it were just a group of regular people drinking tea together, they would drink however they wanted without anyone saying anything. But when these important figures gathered for a tea party, it was different. Everyone used various tea utensils and followed specific steps to carefully taste the tea.

In this situation, he sitting down to drink plain water was bound to be criticized. “What’s wrong? Is there so much etiquette involved in drinking tea?” Lachlan furrowed his brow and asked Scarlet.

“Haha, no no! Mr. Willis, you can do as you please,” Albie laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the tension.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Scarlet wasn’t willing to let it go. She wanted to embarrass Lachlan today, “Of course! The tea we’re drinking now is an imported premium oolong from Topool.”

“The first pot of water used for brewing oolong should be discarded. You actually took it straight up and drank it like a country bumpkin who’s never had good tea before! And you have to warm the pot first before putting in the leaves so that the fragrance can fully infuse into the water before you can truly enjoy it.”

“This kind of good quality tea being drunk by someone like you is such a waste! Tsk tsk…” Kacper mocked loudly.

The herbalists who came here for supplies also looked at Lachlan with contemptuous eyes.

It was as if they were high-class elites, and Lachlan was just a lowly loser who didn’t deserve to sit with them.

“Is this the guy who married into the Lowe family?” one of them sneered.

“What Lowe family? Haven’t you heard? Miranda and her family have been kicked out of the clan!” another chimed in.

“We’re supplying Romeo now, not under Miranda’s control anymore!”

“Hmph, this son-in-law is nothing now.”

“Just look at what he’s wearing. It’s all torn and dirty. How can he even show his face here?”

Lachlan had gotten a bit dirty from helping Miranda bring equipment into the factory earlier, and he hadn’t had time to change before coming to see Albie.

Many of these herb suppliers were also suppliers for Lowe’s Pharmaceutical. Even though Miranda had reached an agreement with Albie, their previous material suppliers hadn’t terminated their contracts yet.

They all looked down on Lachlan and spoke ill of him one after another. Hearing their words made Albie raise an eyebrow in surprise; he’d just come back from Yeginia and hadn’t heard about Lowe’s Pharmaceutical changing CEOs yet.

Scarlet glared at Lachlan and let out a soft snort filled with satisfaction. She couldn’t be happier hearing these people mock him like that after how arrogant he’d been towards her before.

However, Lachlan faced the disdain and mockery of these people with a calm smile, continuing to drink as he pleased.

“Wow, he’s got some thick skin!” Scarlet gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath.

Albie furrowed his brow and signaled for Lachlan to leave with him, but it seemed like Lachlan didn’t even notice.

With no other choice, Albie quietly left the hall himself to retrieve the two “Dragon Marrow Herbs.”

He saw that everyone was mocking Lachlan and just wanted him to get what he needed and leave as soon as possible so he wouldn’t be humiliated here.

At this moment, Monty signaled to the middle-aged man next to him. “Master Howard!”

The man’s name was Jay Howard. Rumor had it that his strength had already reached the later stages of Transmutation Force. He was known as Kreanford’s number one expert!

Because he owed Monty a favor before, this time he was invited by Monty to Edoland for help.

Jay told Monty that only top experts could absorb spiritual energy from jade stones for their own use.

For these past few days, Monty had been investigating the “Skiola guests” from that day. Whenever they were found out about them again, Jay would be called upon by Monty for revenge on their loss of 80 million dollars.

But before that, since he had encountered Lachlan, he decided to have Jay help him teach this young man a lesson on the side.

Receiving Monty’s signal with understanding in his eyes, Jay nodded then turned towards Lachlan saying, “Young man! I heard you previously noticed a batch of raw stones where all spiritual energy has been lost? You can feel how dense spiritual energy is within jade stones; I presume you are also an expert?”

“How about it? Would you like to spar with me and let me give you some guidance? It would benefit you!” Jay, known as the top martial artist in Kreanford, received compliments and respect wherever he went. In Kreanford’s territory, he considered himself invincible. So, he offered to “guide” Lachlan.

Hearing this, Lachlan raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Guide me? I don’t think it’s necessary…”

Scarlet let out a light snort, seizing the opportunity to taunt Lachlan. “Aren’t you supposed to be really talented? Scared at the sight of a true expert like Master Howard? What a coward!”

“Haha, a turtle hiding in its shell? Don’t worry, Master Howard will go easy on you. Look how scared you are!” Kacper mocked.

Jay, with a look of contempt, spoke in a condescending tone, “Young man, don’t you have any fighting spirit? How can you make progress if you’re afraid to face opponents stronger than yourself? By me offering to guide you, it’s an opportunity, and you’re still so timid. You don’t know how to appreciate it!”

Lachlan coughed and almost choked on his tea. He looked at Jay with a smile and said, “Timid? Sir, it’s not that I’m afraid, I just don’t see the need. Do you think an eagle would be interested in sparring with a chick?”

As his words fell, everyone in the room looked at Lachlan in astonishment. Laughter and criticism erupted.

“What did this guy just say? Is he implying that Master Howard is a chick?”

“Arrogant!”

“Master Howard is the number one expert in Kreanford. He could crush him with just one hand!”

“He’s like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers!”

Scarlet looked at Lachlan with disdain and coldly said, “Lachlan, don’t think that just because you have some strength, you can look down on everyone else. Do you know what you look like? Like a toad sitting at the bottom of a well! Do you understand that there are always people better than you? Are you calling yourself a chick?”

For some reason, this rich girl couldn’t stand Lachlan’s arrogance.

Meanwhile, Jay’s face turned dark and his anger was evident.

“Young man, since you’ve said that, I must teach you a lesson today! I want to see if your skills match your big mouth!”

Who was he?

He was the number one expert in Kreanford and an absolute powerhouse in Transmutation Force!

Today someone dared to speak so arrogantly in front of him.

If he didn’t teach this kid properly and use his absolute strength to crush him, others will think he was all talk and no action.

Swish!

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. A figure dashed in through the broken window without warning and headed straight towards Scarlet. At the same time, several other fierce and menacing figures also rushed into the reception hall. In an instant, the atmosphere became tense and everyone’s face turned pale with fear.
