Chapter 17 That Would Be So Spectacular!
Chapter 17 That would be so spectacular!
After Rowan and his men entered, they were stunned by the scene in the courtyard. Then, with astart, Rowan looked straight at Lachlan!
At that moment, Tom and Claudia who had planned to sneak away couldn't help but stop in theirtracks. Even Darcie Morgan, the landlady was taken aback. They heard Greyson's shout.
"Mr. James, you came just in time. This guy hurt so many of our brothers and he was too ruthless!You have to speak for us!" Greyson said as he looked at Lachlan with a smug expression.
"Kid, don't think you're tough stuff. Your little bit of fighting skills are nothing compared to Mr. James'real martial arts skills! And his power can crush you easily! My little influence means nothing beforehim!"
"You're done for! Hahaha..." As soon as Greyson finished speaking, Tom and Claudia along with thelandlady gave up on their escape plan completely.
Even fools could see that people like Greyson followed Rowan around because of his immensepower and influence.
With Rowan around there was no way Lachlan could bounce back from this situation.
In the face of absolute power and strength, personal martial arts skills were nothing. Besides,according to Greyson, Rowan himself was also a practitioner.
However, just as everyone was waiting for Rowan to challenge Lachlan with his boastful words,something unexpected happened!
Rowan stared at Lachlan for a few moments before walking up to him with a respectful attitude.
"Mr. Willis, what happened? Are you okay?" he asked.
This Mr. James was none other than Rowan James by Erik's side. He had been nervouslyassessing Lachlan's condition in case he had been injured by some foolish person while they weretrying to locate him.
"Mr. Willis!" The group of men in suits behind Rowan also respectfully called out in unison.
This scene left some people extremely shocked!
Greyson's smirk froze on his face and he let out a strange cry as if someone had choked him.Claudia's lips trembled and her eyes nearly popped out.
Tom's heart skipped a beat and he felt that today's situation was really not good.
"I'm fine! Is this bald guy one of yours?" Lachlan shook his head and asked calmly.
"Is it because he offended you, Mr. Willis? But not really." Rowan carefully asked.
Strictly speaking, Greyson was not considered to be one of Rowan and Henry's people. He justworked within the sphere of influence of Henry and gave some money to them every month.
"It's nothing, just to smash my knees." Lachlan said lightly.
"What?"
As soon as the words fell, Rowan's face changed suddenly.
The next moment, a pair of eyes gleaming with icy coldness turned towards Greyson. "You'veblinded your eyes."
With that, Rowan waved his hand dismissively. "Break his limbs and throw him into the sea!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Rowan's subordinates mercilessly took action.
"No! Mr. James, don't!"
"Please spare me this time!"
"Mr. Willis, have mercy! It was my mistake, please spare me!"
"Ah! Ah!"
After a series of screams like a pig being slaughtered and the sound of bones breaking, the ruthlessbully who had been running rampant was dragged away like a pile of mud.
The outcome can be imagined!
Gulp!
Watching this scene, Claudia and Tom exchanged glances and saw cold sweat on each other'sforeheads as well as disbelief and panic in their eyes.
What was going on?
What was going on here?
How could a poor man earn such respect from Greyson's backer?
Watching Greyson's fate, Claudia and Tom felt their legs trembling.
"Mr. Willis, what about them..."
Rowan looked at the man and woman in front of him with uncertainty about what they were doingthere so he didn't make any rash moves.
"Just let them go!" Lachlan said coldly. His voice no longer contained any emotion. If he had anyillusions about Claudia before, they were completely gone now.
But Claudia was Nora's biological mother, so Lachlan couldn't lay a hand on her.
"Alright, let's go! Let's go!" Tom exclaimed in relief and pulled Claudia away from Lachlan's gaze asthey ran off together.
"Mr. Willis, last time you saved Mr. Ward and we didn't have a chance to properly thank you," thetop fighter under Henry said with great respect. "This time, Mr. Ward and his grandson would like toinvite you over to express our gratitude. Do you have the time?"
"If not today, we can arrange for another day that works for you, Mr. Willis," he added politely.
Lachlan originally wanted to refuse but changed his mind at the last moment.
"Do you happen to have Dragon Marrow Herb?" he asked abruptly.
Rowan hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure about that but Mr. Ward has beencollecting rare herbs due to his poor health so there might be some."
"Good! Let me pack up and follow you then," Lachlan nodded in agreement with an experimentalattitude.
However, the next second, when Lachlan was about to tidy up the things that were thrown out bythe landlady, he found that they were no longer on the ground.
"Lachlan! I have tidied up everything for you in the house. So, just live here comfortably and stay aslong as you want. Anything is fine, anything..."
A chubby face full of flattery and anxiety leaned in.
He didn't know when, but the landlady actually personally collected the things she had thrown outbefore and brought them back into the house.
It was hard to imagine that despite her bulky figure, she still moved quite nimbly.
Lachlan looked at the landlady's expression and couldn't be bothered to deal with someone like her.
"You guys stay here and help Mr. Willis deal with things."
"Mr. Willis, please!"
...
On the other side.
"Claudia, who exactly is your ex-husband? You fucking told me he was a poor bastard?" Tom askedwith some excitement.
He was driving and almost flipped into a ditch due to his emotional fluctuations and fear afterwards.
Damn it! Which poor bastard can be so awesome?
If the rich beauty from last time was acting, could it be the same this time?
How was this possible? Greyson was the one he brought in? Did he really go so far as to break hisown hands and feet just to act?
Claudia stuttered, "I... I don't know!"
Compared to Tom, Claudia's shock was even stronger. How could this be happening? When didLachlan become so amazing? Wasn't he selling his kidney just to pay for their daughter's medicalbills before?
Wasn't he already a poor man?
Claudia's mind was about to explode with confusion. If she had known that Lachlan was thisamazing, she would have never divorced him!
Thinking back on how Rowan showed respect towards Lachlan and how those black-clad menshouted "Mr. Willis" in unison, Claudia didn't know what she was feeling.
If only she hadn't divorced Lachlan...novelbin
Did these people have to show such respect to her as well? How glorious that would be!
