Chapter 55 What if I could?
Josiah and his men carried the body of Black King Kong as they hurriedly left the Lowe familyestate. Even until their departure, Josiah didn't dare to show any resentment or hatred towardsLachlan.
"Wow! Brother-in-law, what kind of power do you have? That was a master of Dark Force. Youkicked him out with just two kicks?" Mason exclaimed in amazement.
Ever since Lachlan cured his goddess Scarlet, Mason's attitude towards his brother-in-law had donea complete 180-degree turn. Now he looked up to him with admiration and even acted like ayounger brother.
Meanwhile, the entire Lowe family was still in shock. They kept saying that Lachlan only survivedbecause he was associated with their family's prestige.
But now it turned out that their strongest fighter could only fight Black King Kong to a draw whileLachlan single-handedly defeated him with one kick...
Did he really need the protection of the Lowe family?
After Victoria recovered from her shock, her face couldn't hide her anger anymore when she lookedat Lachlan. Her eyes became colder and more hostile than ever before!
"That's enough, Mason! There is nothing special about being a warrior; ultimately they are just toolsfor others to use," Victoria scolded Mason who was still praising Lachlan before turning to give anicy warning to Miranda, "Miranda, cut off all contact with him as soon as possible and prepareyourself for marriage into the Austin family."
As soon as the words fell, Miranda's face changed immediately and she asked indignantly,"Grandma, wasn't it still two months away? Uncle and his family passed on the message that thetwo-year agreement had been reduced to only two months for me. Isn't that already unreasonableenough?"
Now what did Victoria mean by this?novelbin
"Two months? Is there any point in that? Do you think you can increase the profits tenfold within justtwo months? Is that even possible?" Victoria asked coldly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Miranda's tone faltered and she didn't have the courage to give apositive answer.
She really didn't have confidence in increasing the company's profits tenfold in such a short amountof time.
"Of course it's possible! I'll help Miranda!" However, a resounding response came out.
Lachlan stood there holding Miranda's hand with determination in his eyes.
Victoria sneered repeatedly when she heard this. The entire Lowe family burst into laughter too. Itseemed like they had finally found something to mock about this guy after witnessing Lachlan'spowerful strength.
"Just relying on you? Do you know what increasing profits tenfold means? The average monthlyorder for pharmaceutical companies was around 2 million before. That means within your two-month timeframe, unless you can get orders worth 20 million! How are you going to help with justyour own efforts alone? That is ridiculous!" Romeo scoffed disdainfully.
"Exactly! How could you possibly receive 20 million orders within two months?"
"Just because you think you can fight, doesn't mean you're powerful in everything."
"Well-developed limbs, simple mind! Cut it out..."
Mocking and taunting comments pierced into Lachlan's ears.
"You little brat, stop cracking jokes here! Miranda marrying into the Austin family is the trend. Thebenefits it can bring to the Lowe family cannot be measured by just one or two billion. You won't beable to change anything!" Victoria sneered at Lachlan.
Hearing this, Lachlan's face turned cold as he asked word by word, "Madam, what if I can do it?"
Facing Emmanuel and Cara, Lachlan could call them parents-in-law because they were Miranda'sparents after all. No matter what happened between them before, they still cared about theirdaughter. This was evident from their stance and attitude just now.
However, when facing Victoria, no matter how hard he tried to say "grandma," he couldn't get it outof his mouth.
She only talked about interests as if she treated her granddaughter like a commodity exchangedwith the Austin family without considering Miranda's feelings or future happiness.
Such an elder didn't deserve to be called grandma by him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Victoria remained silent while Emmanuel spoke up in a deepvoice, "Good! If you really manage to help Miranda receive 20 million orders within two months thenI will approve of your marriage. At that time I will personally arrange your wedding ceremony."
As soon as the words fell, Miranda was taken aback and looked at her father in surprise. Lachlanalso gave a deep glance to his supposed father-in-law before nodding his head. "Good! It's settledthen!" he said.
"Emmanuel! What nonsense are you spouting?" Victoria slapped the armrest and angrilyquestioned.
Emmanuel took a deep breath and faced the pressure brought by the old lady, saying, "Mom, howcould we possibly receive a 20 million order within two months? If it's really possible, then it meansthis guy has some abilities besides just physical strength. As long as Miranda is willing, he can beconsidered worthy of her."
"Nonsense! Hmph!" Victoria pounded her cane twice with force before standing up with an angryexpression and leaving.
At this moment, Miranda walked up to her father with eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you Dad!"
Originally she thought that her parents were like everyone else who didn't care about her feelingsand only wanted her to marry into a wealthy family. But now it seemed that maybe not entirely!
"Thank me for what? I don't think this guy can do it! Quickly take him away from my sight!"Emmanuel scolded unkindly with an impassive face.
...
Inside a private estate!
Tiger looked at the body in front of him, his face alternating between dark and unsettled.
Shock, sorrow, anger, resentment...
This was his most powerful and capable subordinate, and yet he had been killed by someone!
"Dad! Lachlan was too ruthless! You must help King Kong seek revenge!" Josiah had a sorrowfulexpression on his face as he cried out to his father.
Smack!
With that, Tiger slapped him across the face, glaring at his son with clenched teeth. "Shut yourmouth! If it weren't for you getting involved with the wrong people, would King King have died?Lachlan could kick Black King Kong to death. What kind of strength do you think he has? Do youthink there aren't enough dead people for me?"
Josiah covered his face and asked with reluctance and grievance, "So, are we just going to let it go,Dad? I can't accept that! You don't know how arrogant that guy is..."
Tiger snorted coldly, his tone icy. "Of course, we can't just let it go! Whoever dares to kill my peoplewill pay a heavy price. Your Uncle Butcher will come to Edoland in a few days; we'll discuss it whenhe arrives!"
Josiah's eyes lit up instantly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That's great! Uncle Butcher is amaster of Transmutation Force. He can surely tear that guy into pieces!"
"However, we can't be careless! Since he can kill high-level experts in Dark Force in an instant, wecan't underestimate his strength! We need to be prepared on multiple fronts!"
Tiger's face revealed a sinister and cold look. "Investigate this guy thoroughly for me, find out if hehas any fatal weaknesses!"
