Chapter 52 Speaking with Strength
Lachlan knew he couldn’t personally help Albie’s son with his illness, but there was a new sample of an effective medicine that even Clifford could use to stabilize the boy’s condition.
So, Lachlan drove with Miranda to the Lowe family estate as she directed him.
On the way, Miranda’s phone buzzed and it was a message from her brother Mason.
“Sis, don’t bring your husband back! He hit Tiger’s son and they’re coming for him! Grandma wants to hand him over!”
Upon seeing this message, the beautiful CEO’s face showed anger and concern.
“Stop the car. We’re not going back!” exclaimed Miranda urgently.
“What happened?” raised an eyebrow Lachlan.
Miranda showed her phone to Lachlan who immediately saw Mason’s message.
“We should still go. It’s my mess; I don’t need anyone else covering for me,” said Lachlan in a serious tone.
Meanwhile at the Lowe family estate…
Victoria’s words made Josiah feel smugly satisfied.
“Haha! That’s great news! Thank you so much!”
The burly man next to Josiah laughed and said, “The old lady is indeed reasonable!” He was Tiger’s number one expert, nicknamed Black King Kong. His strength had just broken through to the early stage of Dark Force Realm.
Warriors were divided into several realms according to their strength: Horizontal Training, Bright Force, Dark Force, Transmutation Force, and Grandmaster.
In the Dark Force Realm, internal energy had already been produced in the body. During offense and defense, true energy could be infused into hands or even the whole body with great power.
Breaking gold and cracking stones was a piece of cake!
With this kind of strength, he could dominate the city!
As for Transmutation Force masters, they were a rare breed throughout Kreanford, and when it came to grandmasters, they were practically legendary beings.
However, some people on the Lowe family’s side were dissatisfied with Victoria’s approach.
Emmanuel frowned while Miranda’s mother Cara Lewis looked unhappy. Although they also supported their daughter marrying into the Austin family and didn’t like her finding a fake fiancé, it didn’t mean they agreed to hand over their daughter’s fiancé in name only.
After all, he was still their daughter’s person!
Mason couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up directly saying, “Grandma, what is going on? We just hand over someone if others ask for it? If people don’t know better, they would think that our family is afraid of Tiger! I disagree with handing over my brother-in-law directly.”
As soon as his words fell off, everyone looked at Mason strangely.
Brother-in-law?
For this puppet that Miranda found as her fiancé, the Lowe family never regarded him highly including Mason.
“Wait, did you just call him your brother-in-law?” Victoria asked, annoyed.
“Yeah, your brother-in-law? Mason, that’s just a fake guy your sister found. He’s not really your brother-in-law,” Harlow added with a sneer.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Even Romeo and his wife laughed at the idea.
Last time they tried to incite the executives of the pharmaceutical company to quit their jobs, but Lachlan somehow managed to stop them. They naturally saw Lachlan as a thorn in their side and wished they could hand him over to Tiger as soon as possible.
“No, it’s true! My sister is serious this time and she’s in love with her husband. Their relationship is different from her previous ones. He really is my brother-in-law!” Mason exclaimed urgently.
“Hmph,” Victoria snorted coldly.
Eliza chimed in sarcastically, “Mason, why are you like your sister? You don’t care about the bigger picture?”
Cara, Miranda’s mother sneered, “Handing someone over when someone asks for them – that’s what you call caring about the bigger picture? Even if he isn’t officially part of our family anymore, he still married into it.”
The sisters-in-law had never gotten along well.
Cara didn’t speak up much, but she won’t spoil Romeo’s family. Next, opinions among the Lowe family present began to diverge regarding whether or not to hand over Lachlan. Both sides held their ground!
Although everyone except Mason, including Miranda’s parents, didn’t consider Lachlan one of their own. They didn’t even consider him human. But as they said, people had to look at the owner when they beat a dog. Handing someone over like this would always make some people feel that it tarnished the reputation of the Lowe family as if they were afraid of Tiger or something.
Especially Mason who was firmly against handing over Lachlan and even went so far as to say that even if the Lowe family didn’t protect him, he himself will protect him.
“Dennis, Jeremy, bring our men here and wait at the door!”
In fact, Mason had started calling people by then; his intention was clear – he wanted to protect Lachlan.
“All right! Everyone quiet down!” Victoria pounded her cane on the ground and scolded sternly.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.
“Mrs. Lowe what exactly do you mean? Are you really going to turn your backs on our boss because of a guy?” Black King Kong asked in a deep voice.
Josiah snorted beside him, his face looking a little ugly. He touched his still slightly swollen cheek and knew that he wouldn’t let this go until he got revenge.
Victoria pondered for a few seconds before slowly speaking up, “As you can see, the situation is delicate. Although my family doesn’t want to offend Mr. Webb, we also have to consider our family’s reputation. Handing over someone like this would damage our name.”
She continued, “Why don’t we settle this with strength? I’ll send out one of our top fighters and you can do the same. Both sides will compete and if you win, we’ll hand over the person in question. If not, let bygones be bygones – it’s better to resolve conflicts than hold grudges.”
After careful consideration, Victoria proposed this solution and no one from the Lowe family objected.
Josiah glanced at Black King Kong and asked softly, “King Kong, are you confident?”
Black King Kong hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, “Let’s do it then. Judging from their attitude now, the Lowe family won’t budge anymore.”
…
When Lachlan and Miranda arrived at the old mansion of the Lowe family they could already hear sounds of fists colliding from afar.
A group of people had gathered outside with serious expressions on their faces exuding an intimidating aura.
“Dennis? Jeremy? What are you doing here?” After getting off the car, Miranda asked in confusion.
Naturally, Miranda knew her brother’s main confidants.
“Ms. Lowe! The boss sent us here. He said that once Mr. Willis is taken away and the people leave the old mansion, we should act immediately!” Dennis Powell saw Miranda and respectfully nodded his head, saying in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Miranda was stunned and a hint of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes.
When did her brother become so supportive of Lachlan?
Lachlan was also moved by these words.
This little brother-in-law was quite thoughtful!
