Chapter 55 What if I could?
Josiah and his men carried the body of Black King Kong as they hurriedly left the Lowe family estate. Even until their departure, Josiah didn't dare to show any resentment or hatred towards Lachlan.
"Wow! Brother-in-law, what kind of power do you have? That was a master of Dark Force. You kicked 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 done a complete 180-degree turn. Now he looked up to him with admiration and even acted like a younger brother.
Meanwhile, the entire Lowe family was still in shock. They kept saying that Lachlan only survived because 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 while Lachlan 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 looked at 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 tools for others to use," Victoria scolded Mason who was still praising Lachlan before turning to give an icy warning to Miranda, "Miranda, cut off all contact with him as soon as possible and prepare yourself 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 the two-year agreement had been reduced to only two months for me. Isn't that already unreasonable enough?"
Now what did Victoria mean by this?
"Two months? Is there any point in that? Do you think you can increase the profits tenfold within just two 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 a positive answer.
She really didn't have confidence in increasing the company's profits tenfold in such a short amount of 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. It seemed like they had finally found something to mock about this guy after witnessing Lachlan's powerful strength.
"Just relying on you? Do you know what increasing profits tenfold means? The average monthly order 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 just your 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. The benefits it can bring to the Lowe family cannot be measured by just one or two billion. You won't be able 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's parents after all. No matter what happened between them before, they still cared about their daughter. 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 out of his mouth.
She only talked about interests as if she treated her granddaughter like a commodity exchanged with 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 deep voice, "Good! If you really manage to help Miranda receive 20 million orders within two months then I 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. Lachlan also gave a deep glance to his supposed father-in-law before nodding his head. "Good! It's settled then!" he said.
"Emmanuel! What nonsense are you spouting?" Victoria slapped the armrest and angrily questioned.
Emmanuel took a deep breath and faced the pressure brought by the old lady, saying, "Mom, how could we possibly receive a 20 million order within two months? If it's really possible, then it means this guy has some abilities besides just physical strength. As long as Miranda is willing, he can be considered worthy of her."
"Nonsense! Hmph!" Victoria pounded her cane twice with force before standing up with an angry expression 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 feelings and 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 sorrowful expression 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 your mouth! 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 you think 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 people will pay a heavy price. Your Uncle Butcher will come to Edoland in a few days; we'll discuss it when he arrives!"
Josiah's eyes lit up instantly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That's great! Uncle Butcher is a master 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, we can'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 he has any fatal weaknesses!"
