Female NovelChapter 471 This Sentence is Returned to You
Lachlan held Nora's hand and walked out of the hot pot restaurant with confidence. He looked at the scene in front of him and clicked his tongue twice. "Nora, stay here and protect yourself," Lachlan said to his daughter.
At that moment, Stephen and Jasmine also came out from inside with a brave face.
"Lachlan, you..." Stephen started to say something but was interrupted by Lachlan waving his hand.
"You guys stay here. I'll take care of the chairman of Great Joy first. We'll deal with everything else later," Lachlan said before walking out confidently.
At this moment, the entrance of Cloud Manor Hotpot Restaurant was empty except for the members of the Great Joy Corporation who surrounded the place. Lachlan stepped out, looking particularly conspicuous. He appeared as a lonely figure, facing the imposing display and presence of the Great Joy Corporation. He had a feeling of "even if a thousand people oppose me, I will go forward."
"Hehe, does it make any sense to have so many people? Why does it feel like poking a hornet's nest?" Lachlan's face carried a playful smile as he talked and laughed in the face of this dense crowd.
At this moment, a middle-aged man of short stature but exuding a powerful oppressive force stood out from the crowd. Following behind him were several high-level Grandmaster experts, like stars surrounding the moon, emanating a majestic aura.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
This middle-aged man was Diego, the Chairman of the Great Joy Corporation. As the boss of the corporation with the peak strength of the Late Divine Realm, he was undoubtedly a prominent figure here. Beside him were Landry and Penelope. The hatred and resentment in their eyes towards Lachlan were evident, even more intense than Landry.
"What's the use of coming out by yourself? Do you think if you come out and die, I will spare your daughter? Ah?" Landry stared at Lachlan like a venomous snake, his expression ferocious. Penelope's look of resentment towards Lachlan was even stronger than Landry's.
"Lachlan, are you scared now? Will you obediently come out and die? If you want your daughter to survive, then kneel down and beg us!" Penelope's hatred towards Lachlan was bone-deep. The humiliation he brought her at the previous medical exchange conference was something she felt could never be washed away in her lifetime.
From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the center of attention, surrounded by admirers. Which man in front of her didn't try to please her like a lapdog? She had never suffered humiliation herself. So, with the absolute backing she had now, she believed her chance for revenge had come. Today, Lachlan and his daughter would definitely die, but she didn't mind humiliating him thoroughly before killing him to vent her pent-up hatred.
Otherwise, letting Diego kill him directly would be too easy for him. It was said that killing someone's heart was more effective than killing their body.
Penelope wanted to make Lachlan's dignity crumble, to force him to compromise and ruin his image in front of his daughter, and then die in anger and unwillingness.
Upon hearing these words, Lachlan coldly said, "Who told you I came out to die? Penelope, I let go of the incident in the Capital last time, but this time, you're seeking your own death? Do you think you have me figured out?"
As his words fell, Lachlan stepped
down from the steps of the hotpot restaurant, looking at the dense crowd of Great Joy Corporation members around him, and at Diego, who seemed invincible with his imposing appearance, but in his eyes, there was a trace of disdain and mockery.
Hearing this, the Great Joy
Corporation's leader, Diego, snorted coldly, his eyes filled with ferocity. "You're still being stubborn even when death is imminent! How dare you humiliate my son and Penelope? Don't think that a bit of strength makes you invincible! Your strength is nothing in front of me! You don't understand the principle that there will always be someone stronger than you. Today, you must die, but I'll give you a chance. Do as Penelope said, and I might consider sparing your daughter!"
As his words fell, Lachlan laughed, a wicked and scornful laugh. "That's right, I return those words to you! Don't think that a bit of strength makes you invincible! You don't understand the principle that there will always be someone stronger than you."
"Seeking death!" Diego's eyes suddenly filled with killing intent. The seven loyal henchmen beside him, with their strength reaching the Grandmaster level, also stared fiercely at Lachlan.
For a moment, the scene was filled with a murderous atmosphere. The onlookers in the distance felt a chill down their spines.
