Chapter 158 Changing!
"Brother-in-law..." Mason opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Lachlan's direct question. "Tellme, where are you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Mason finally spoke in a deep voice. "Gold Coast Club."
"Okay, I'll be there right away! Make sure you stay safe until I arrive," Lachlan instructed.
"I understand," Mason replied with a bitter smile.
At this moment, Miranda approached them with a worried expression. She and Mason were closesiblings and she became anxious as soon as he got into trouble.
"Don't worry, I'll take you home first and then go check on him," Lachlan reassured her.
"I'm going too!" Miranda exclaimed urgently.
Hearing this, Lachlan's expression turned serious. "What can you do if you go? You'll only makethings worse. This is men's business."
He then grabbed Miranda's hand and said firmly, "Trust me, I won't let your brother get hurt."
Miranda's expression changed several times before nodding in agreement, "Okay! I trust you."
Miranda was a woman who could see the big picture and knew that even if she was worried sickabout her brother it wouldn't help the situation at all. Going along would only make things morecomplicated for Lachlan and her brother.
Lachlan hailed a cab after dropping off Miranda at home and rushed to Gold Coast Club...
On the other side of town...
Erik accompanied Gabriela (Erik's wife) on an evening stroll after dinner while Caelan and Reevajoined them too.
After receiving treatment from Lachlan last time in Edoland, they decided to temporarily stay at theWard family's estate instead of traveling back-and-forth between Edoland and Iylonio.
"Lachlan didn't give any face to your people?" Erik asked Henry with furrowed brows after hearingabout today's events.
"You bet he didn't! He knew Braid belonged to me yet still crippled him completely!" Henry saidindignantly.
"Lachlan wouldn't have done something like that without reason though? Your man must have reallyprovoked him," Reeva speculated beside them.
"No matter what happened, his actions were too ugly!" Henry said coldly.
Erik remained silent, his face darkening slightly. Just then, Rowan walked over and answered aphone call. After hanging up, he had a smug look on his face.
"Young Master, there's big trouble with Mason," he said.
"Oh?" Henry responded. "What happened?"
He knew that Mason's power had been unstable lately.
"Today, everything went chaotic in Mason's territory! His own people are fighting against each other!The Lowe family experts under Mason have all turned against him. They're either sweeping through
Mason's territory with their own men or attacking his stronghold under the leadership of the Lowefamily second-in-command! Hehe... I bet Mr. Lowe won't be around on Edoland after tonight!"
Rowan sneered as he spoke.
Hearing this news made Henry laugh too. "What an interesting show! Without the Lowe family, he'snothing but a nobody to us!"
Henry and Mason had been fighting for many years now - it was a kind of hidden hostility betweenthem both.
However, during the last time they divided up Tiger's remaining forces together due to Lachlan'sintervention, they were able to pass by peacefully without any conflict arising between them both.
Now that he heard about an internal fight within Mason's organization though - Henry couldn't helpbut feel pleased at this turn of events!
"I don't think so!" Reeva suddenly piped up with disdain in her voice.
Hearing her speak out like this caused both Henry and Rowan to look at her skeptically.
"You mean Lachlan? Reeva, you overestimate him too much! What can one person do in suchchaos?" Henry chuckled lightly and shook his head.
"That's right Miss Bates, Lachlan alone can't change anything." Rowan added scornfully as well.
Because of what happened with Braid man, both Henry and Rowan held some resentment towardsLachlan deep down inside themselves.
"If he could single-handedly kill all those so-called experts from the Lowe family, then do you reallythink he wouldn't be able to change anything?" Reeva asked seriously instead though.
Hearing this made Henry burst out laughing involuntarily, "Reeva, what are you talking about? Howis it possible for one person alone to take down all those experts from the Lowe family?"
Rowan shook her head. "Unless Lachlan can convince Eduard to help him, he won't be able tomake a dent in this underground force. But how could Eduard get involved in a fight like this?"
Last time Lachlan went to Ranlins Manor, Eduard kept everything under wraps. Henry and evenErik didn't know the details of what happened, so they had no idea about Lachlan's true strength.
"Really? Want to bet on it?" Reeva said confidently. "The underground world of Edoland isn't goingto change overnight. Mr. Lowe will still be Mr. Lowe after tonight."
While others scoffed at the idea of one person making a difference, Reeva had faith in Lachlan'sabilities.
If there was an expert present, they would be shocked by Reeva's power - she had reached theDark Force stage after only recently developing her "Energy Sense" when she first arrived inEdoland with Caelan.
It was incredible progress for such a short amount of time and all thanks to the "Fierce PhoenixHeart Sutra" that Lachlan gave her - an incredibly powerful technique that defied logic.
Reeva couldn't imagine how strong Lachlan must be if he could casually give away such anamazing technique as his own practice method.
Caelan smiled at his granddaughter and nodded approvingly before surprising everyone with hisconfidence in Lachlan too.
Erik and Gabriela looked surprised while Henry and Rowan were completely puzzled by whyCaelan and Reeva were so confident about him.
"Alright then," Erik said cheerfully, "let's wait and see! Will Edoland's underground world change orwill someone turn things around tonight?"
He turned towards Henry next, "Henry, take your team over to Gold Coast Club but play it by ear! Ifyou run into Mason or even better yet - if you find out that Lachlan is there too - lend them a hand."
"No matter what, Lachlan saved my life!"
Henry's face showed a hint of displeasure at the words.
"Grandpa, how many times have we helped him? You gave him money and even connected himwith pharmaceutical distributors. I also did him a big favor at the last business exchange meeting!But he didn't give me any face!"novelbin
"Fine, he saved your life. I can help him tonight depending on the situation. But this time, I won'thelp for free again!"
