Chapter 367 Fear What Comes
Lachlan chuckled, "Don't worry, nothing will happen! If you want to blame someone, blame them forbringing it upon themselves."
Now that the crisis was completely averted, Lachlan no longer needed to worry about startlingMiranda. He explained in detail what had happened.
After listening, Miranda's exquisite face, which now looked particularly alluring with a tinge of red,displayed a mix of anger and excitement.
"Romeo and Harlow, their thoughts are actually so malicious? They could go to such extremes, likesending a timed bomb, just to deal with us?" Miranda exclaimed, both angered and exhilarated.
Miranda gritted her teeth and then cast a hateful glance toward the direction of the explosion,disdainfully uttering two words, "Deserved it!"
She couldn't imagine the severe consequences if the bomb had indeed exploded inside the newoffice building of her own pharmaceutical company. It would not only lead to a shutdown andinvestigation but could have also resulted in the deaths of many innocent people.
"Indeed, they deserved it! Romeo's pharmaceutical company is probably going down the drain,"Lachlan sneered.
At this moment, Miranda gave Lachlan a sidelong glance and remarked, "Lachlan, I've realized thatanyone who messes with you is practically inviting a lifetime of bad luck."
This scoundrel was truly ruthless. He discovered the bomb and, without showing any signs,returned it only at the last moment, making Romeo and Harlow suffer the consequences of their
own actions.

After Samuel left, he displayed a somewhat shaken expression in the car. After some consideration,he had someone help him obtain the contact number of a high-ranking member of NC Organizationin Kreanford and called him.
"Hello? Is this Black Star Hall Master of NC Organization?" Samuel politely inquired, putting asidehis previous arrogance.
The voice on the other end, deep and ominous, asked, "Who are you?"
"Black Star Hall Master, I have some news to convey to you," Samuel said.
"What news? Who are you?" The tone was unfriendly and cautious.
"I am Samuel Lloyd from the Medical Business Alliance of Corlinet Delta. Unfortunately, I have toinform you of a tragic incident – Saber is dead, killed by a bomb," Samuel conveyed with a touch ofsorrow.
"What? Saber is dead?" Black Star exclaimed and then asked sharply, "What happened? Speak!"
As the branch head of NC Organization in Kreanford, Black Star orchestrated all activities withinKreanford's territory. Saber was his trusted right-hand man with formidable mid-level TransmutationForce abilities. Black Star never expected to receive news of Saber's death so soon.
First Wild Wolf, now Saber...
In this small territory of Edoland, the Kreanford branch had suffered the loss of two powerfulTransmutation Force experts in quick succession. What the hell was going on?
Samuel cleared his throat and carefully recounted the sequence of events, including Saber'sinvolvement with Romeo's mistress, a detail he craftily emphasized.
"Saber was also here to deal with Lachlan and Miranda, so the three parties joined forces andplanned to blow up Miranda's new factory. But unexpectedly, Lachlan turned out to be so cunningthat he returned the bomb. Saber was enjoying himself with Romeo's mistress at that criticalmoment. I even thought about shouting for Saber to escape together, but Romeo persuaded meotherwise. We survived by jumping out of the window, but Saber..."
Samuel's tone was heavy with sorrow. NC Organization was not to be trifled with, and Samuelfeared getting into trouble. Therefore, he had carefully distanced himself from the situation.However, in doing so, Romeo and Harlow found themselves in deep trouble.
After listening, Black Star gave a cold and disdainful snort. His voice was cold and chilling as hesaid, "So, you're saying Romeo harbored a grudge against Saber for having an affair with hismistress and deliberately caused Saber's death when the bomb was about to explode? Is thatright?"
Samuel blinked a few times, his eyes flickering. "Well, it's not entirely accurate. At the time, thebomb was set to explode in just one minute, so there wasn't enough time. However..."
"Hmph! I understand."
"Romeo, Harlow, and Lachlan, none of them will escape NC Organization's vengeance!"
Black Star declared with a menacing tone, exuding a thick aura of ruthlessness and dominance.novelbin
"Y-yes, understood..."
After the call ended, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. NCOrganization would do whatever they pleased, but as long as it didn't involve him, it was acceptable.
...
In the afternoon of that day, Romeo and Harlow were in a state of extreme distress. The explosion,with its significant impact, was impossible to conceal. Edoland's firefighting department dispatchedfive fire trucks, and relevant authorities held Romeo accountable.
Romeo acted quickly, compensating the mistress's family for the loss of life. The incident wastreated as a safety accident, as there were no casualties other than Saber, and the productionfacility had not officially started operating. However, reopening Lowe Light Pharmaceutical seemedhighly unlikely.
The next day, Romeo and Harlow came out of the Edoland City Government Office after undergoinganother round of investigations and inquiries. Romeo had a fractured leg and was using crutches.Rohan accompanied them, and Romeo had been on edge since yesterday, fearing possibleretaliation from NC Organization.
"Dad, do you think NC Organization might come after us?" Inside the car, Harlow asked anxiously.
Romeo's expression changed several times, and he replied with a hint of optimism, "It's unlikely..."
However, just as he was about to finish his sentence, his phone rang. He glanced at it and saw anunfamiliar caller.
For some reason, Romeo felt a sense of trepidation looking at the incoming call. After hesitating fora moment, he directly hung up. The caller dialed again persistently, four times in a row. Finally,Romeo and Harlow exchanged glances and answered.
"Who's this?"
He asked cautiously. The voice on the other end was cold and malicious, saying, "Who am I? Doyou want your whole family dead? You're Romeo, right? You're the one who killed Saber?"
