Chapter 309 This is Well Received
Miranda's eyes were sharp and complex as she stared at Lachlan without blinking, as if waiting foran answer.
Lachlan was confused and asked, "What?"
Miranda sneered and said, "Don't you know what you've done? Let me ask you again, do you haveanything to explain to me?"
When Miranda saw the photos on the morning of the wedding day, her heart was shaken. She feltdisappointed and resentful towards this man who had deceived her.
She thought that Lachlan was just a womanizer who had entangled himself with many womenbehind her back.
However, Claudia's words this evening made Miranda suspicious.
Although Claudia only said something vague about having seen some photos before, Mirandaseemed to have caught onto something important.
How did she know about those photos? Maybe things weren't as simple as they seemed in thosepictures...
Maybe Lachlan could give her an explanation.
Miranda didn't even know why she hoped for an explanation from him...
When she found out that Frederick had betrayed her by fooling around with other women behindher back, there was no hesitation or nostalgia, only disgust! But why did she still hold onto a
glimmer of hope for this bastard Lachlan?
As he faced Miranda's piercing gaze, Lachlan couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion inside him.
But when he opened his mouth to speak, all he could manage was a bitter smile, "I don't know whatyou're talking about or what I need to explain."
"Hmmph," Miranda scoffed bitterly before turning away from him.
Her personality prevented her from wanting to ask any more questions. After all if he wasn't willingto explain himself, then why should she bother asking? It would seem like it mattered too much!
Lachlan looked at Miranda with a complex expression, thinking that he might not even live for threemore years. In the end, he simply shook his head, losing interest in pursuing the matter further.
He had considered saying something to Miranda, at least to find out why her attitude towards himhad changed so drastically. But in the end, he dismissed the thought.
What was the point of saying so much? If when Nora turned seven, he still didn't have the strengthto confront the ancient Willis family, it would only bring trouble to Miranda. The deeper his feelingsfor her became, the greater the pain he would cause her once he and Nora were gone.
Regardless of any misunderstandings, let these misunderstandings... continue.
...
The Blood Slaughter Association was headquartered in a building that served as their base ofoperations!
Makhi and Dagger, along with several key members of the Blood Slaughter Association's assassins,were gathered together at this moment.
These people were all experts who had worked as mercenaries overseas alongside Makhi.
Their martial arts skills may not have been particularly strong but their military prowess wasimpressive. They were well-versed in assassination, reconnaissance and gathering intelligence.
At this moment, President Makhi looked uncertain!
They naturally knew about Hawkeye Ghost making such a big fuss before. When they saw Lachlanon the final live broadcast screen, they were shocked beyond belief.
Makhi and Dagger had also come near to where the TV station was located before climbing onto anearby building to observe what was happening through binoculars.
Of course due to height issues they couldn't see how Hawkeye Ghost died specifically but therewas no doubt that this expert who couldn't even be killed by sniper rifle fire had been killed byLachlan!
"Damn it! Lachlan is so powerful! Someone who can't even be killed by sniper rifle fire isn't hisopponent?" Makhi exclaimed in amazement.
Dagger also looked frightened, "Yes! Thank goodness we didn't attack Lachlan openly before orelse we might have been killed too!"
Thinking back on how they both wanted to kill Lachlan before made them shudder with fear nowthat they realized just how powerful he really was.
"President, what do we do now? Lachlan is so formidable... how are we supposed to kill him?"Another key member asked anxiously.
Hearing this question made Makhi slap him across his head, "What do you mean 'kill'?! Do you wantus all dead? We're not killing him anymore!" He cleared his throat then said solemnly, "Of course I'm
not afraid of this guy either! Killing people is an art form after all! Even if he's strong again next timearound I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve for taking care of him!"
"The reason why we're not killing him anymore is because last time when Dagger and I gotpoisoned, he saved our lives!"
"We have our own code of conduct. Even though we are now assassins, we still need to distinguishbetween right and wrong, right?"
Dagger nodded quickly in agreement. "You're right! Let's spare his life!" The other key members ofthe assassin group also echoed their agreement.
Makhi cleared his throat and then changed his tone as he turned to the people responsible forcontacting business on the dark web. "Virus, any business lately?"
The guy nicknamed Virus nodded but hesitated before speaking. "There's a job, but... it's not anassassination. Someone is hiring us to escort a shipment."
"I think we don't have much going on lately so... let's take it!" Virus continued.
Hearing this, Makhi scowled and pointed at him angrily. "What kind of spineless person are you? Doyou have no morals? We're assassins, not couriers! Are you seriously considering taking such alowly job?"
"Exactly! Who do you think we are? We used to be elite members of 'Warfare', one of the world'stop mercenary organizations," added Dagger with displeasure.
They all looked down upon this particular job as if it was an insult to their profession.
"Uh..." Virus sweated nervously before weakly saying, "But the commission is high! If we can deliverthis shipment safely into the hands of its recipient, then we will receive 20 million in compensation!"
"What?" exclaimed Makhi and Dagger simultaneously when they heard that number.
"Well... this deal isn't bad at all!" said Makhi with a smile like a flower blooming while patting Virus'shoulder approvingly.
"Yeah," agreed Dagger with a nod. "We may be assassins but that doesn't mean that otherprofessions should be disrespected or underestimated by us."
Virus looked at them both and couldn't help flipping them off with his middle finger.novelbin
Makhi didn't mind though; he just grinned widely and asked, "By the way what exactly are theyshipping? And where does it need to go?"
"I don't know what exactly they're shipping but their employer is from Jieyson; the surname is Brittwho wants us to deliver it to Ghost Plaque Sect," replied Virus cautiously.
"Ghost Plaque Sect? What kind of nonsense is that? It sounds so juvenile," Makhi raised aneyebrow and rubbed his hands together.
"But who cares, as long as they pay us," he continued.
They hadn't made any money since returning to the country.
The thought of earning 20 million this time around had them both ecstatic!
