Chapter 73 Lachlan, what exactly do you rely on?
After leaving the Square Window, Lachlan didn’t get in his car. Instead, he ran as fast as he could with his two legs. Ranlins Manor was a large residence privately owned by Tiger and located in the eastern suburbs of Edoland, but it required passing through the city center.
Even with Lachlan’s current strength, running on foot was faster than driving through the city. Nora was in trouble and he needed to get there as quickly as possible!
Lachlan’s powerful physique made him run like a speeding car, with the sound of wind ringing in his ears. However, what Lachlan didn’t know was that Nora hadn’t fallen into Tiger’s hands yet.
On that secluded road section! In Tiger’s Toyota Land Cruiser, one of his henchmen named “Leo” had just hung up the phone when he felt a strong impact! Then everything spun around!
After several rounds of spinning and stopping their Range Rover Sport vehicle on its side, Mason and three others got out and hurried towards Claudia and Nora.
Meanwhile, other henchmen from different cars rushed towards Leo who had been pulled out roughly along with another person from inside the overturned Toyota Land Cruiser.
“Woo woo…” Nora saw the collision happen while being held by Claudia who covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming.
Nora was startled at first but then became overjoyed when she saw Mason walking towards them quickly. Her big eyes lit up with excitement while she kept making sounds toward him eagerly extending her little hand toward him.
Nora had always longed for her mother, but now she felt fear and unease at the thought of her. In this situation, seeing Mason and the two guys who often picked her up from school was a welcome surprise for Nora.
“Let go of the child!” Mason barked coldly at Claudia.
Claudia had seen Mason once before in Lachlan’s previous rental home, and Tom had told her about his identity afterwards. She knew that this young man was none other than Mason, a third-generation member of the Lowe family and a well-known figure in Edoland’s underworld.
Startled by Mason’s rebuke, Claudia quickly released Nora with a look of panic and confusion on her face.
“Mr.-Mr. Lowe! What… what’s going on? Nora is my daughter…” she stammered.
She didn’t understand why someone as important as Mason would go to such lengths and even come himself! Why would he care so much about Lachlan’s daughter?
“Uncle! Uncle Dennis, Uncle Jeremy!” cried Nora as she ran towards Mason after being released.
Mason picked up the child and lifted his arm towards Claudia before putting it back down again.
Mason still considered he feelings of the child he was taking care of.
“Do you still know that she is your daughter? Are you even considered a human being?”
“Thanks to my subordinates who have been secretly protecting Nora, otherwise you, this insane woman, would have sold your own child to Tiger!” Mason angrily questioned, and if it weren’t for Nora’s presence, he would have shot the woman in front of him without hesitation.
Claudia was scolded and shuddered, her face became full of demonic charm, filled with panic and confusion.
Why did the Lowe family’s son, who was so distinguished, care so much about Nora?
Wasn’t Nora just the child of a son-in-law? Yet Mason actually came all the way here and even risked his own safety by crashing his car.
Was it because of Lachlan?
Lachlan, this poor guy, why did he deserve it?
What entitled him to live in the Emerald Green Estates? What made Mason personally intervene to save his daughter?
Lachlan, how did he manage to do this as a poor person?
…
In the eastern suburbs of Edoland, on a low hill near the sea, there was a super private manor!
At first glance, it looked just like a palace.
This was Tiger’s residence, Ranlins Manor!
Lachlan arrived here in less than twenty minutes. After Tiger’s subordinates confirmed that he was alone, they led Lachlan into it as if he were a prisoner!
In the spacious and elaborately arranged courtyard, Tiger sat on a high platform with Josiah, Bloody Butcher, and several of his top-notch henchmen standing behind him.
On both sides below the high platform, there were two rows of henchmen standing straight in black clothes and pants, each with a fierce momentum and full of arrogance!
Looking at Lachlan being brought in by his subordinates, a sinister smirk appeared on Tiger’s face.
“Kid, you really dare to come alone!”
Lachlan stood below and said coldly, “What am I afraid of?”
As he spoke, he scanned the surroundings and asked in a deep voice, “Where is my daughter?”
“Get down on your knees, kowtow to me and apologize, then break your own fingers and toes, and I’ll let you see your daughter!” Josiah shouted fiercely, his expression full of resentment and hatred.
As the words fell, one of the henchmen who had brought Lachlan in pulled out a sharp knife and tossed it at Lachlan’s feet.
“Being a dignified figure, resorting to using child as leverage, don’t you feel ashamed and embarrassed?” Ignoring Josiah, Lachlan stared fiercely at Tiger and asked in a sarcastic tone.
Tiger’s face darkened, “Those who achieve great things do not worry about minor details! You insulted my son and killed my subordinate, so you should have expected today!”
“If I don’t take you down, others will think I’m just a paper tiger! If you don’t want anything bad to happen to your daughter, kneel down and break your own fingers and toes!” Tiger retorted coldly.
Lachlan countered, “I insulted your son, killed your man? Don’t you know why? Why don’t you say that it was your son who slapped me first and insulted me?”
Tiger, hearing this, arrogantly and wildly said, “Even if my son insulted you first, so what? In this world, strength is everything! I don’t care about the cause and effect. As long as someone provokes me, they will die!”
As an underground boss who had been famous for a long time, Tiger had always acted in this way!Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He didn’t care about right or wrong, even if his people provoked him first, as long as he dares to retaliate, he will make sure to finish him off!
People had to say, it was absolutely domineering and rampant to the extreme!
“Strength is everything? Ha ha, do you have the strength? What Mr. Webb, you’re just a trash who kidnaps other people’s child as a hostage, a lowlife who can’t even make it to the stage!” Lachlan asked back, then his tone was full of sarcasm and mockery.
As soon as the words fell, Tiger’s gaze became even colder.
Josiah snorted and pointed at Lachlan, cursing, “You piece of crap, still talking back when you’re at death’s door! I fucking told you to kneel down and break your own fingers and toes, do you hear me? Otherwise, I’ll have that little brat killed right away!”
“Kid, I only have to deal with you, I’m not interested in your daughter! As long as you cooperate, I promise not to harm her.”
“Maybe I can be merciful and spare your life, letting you spend the rest of your days in bed. Hahaha…” Tiger laughed cruelly.”
Lachlan took a deep breath and said, “I’ve already said that I need to see my daughter first. As long as I know she’s okay, I’ll agree to anything!”
Upon hearing this, Tiger responded with a “Oh?” and licked his lips before saying, “It’s true, a father’s love is like a mountain! Alright then, I’ll let you see your daughter!”
As he spoke, Tiger dialed his subordinate Leo’s phone number.
He was starting to feel a little strange. Why hadn’t Leo brought the person back yet?
