Chapter 32 You, my little brother, are settled!
Mason left a trusted person here to protect Nora.
Lachlan obediently cooperated, even allowing them to handcuff his hands behind his back, and was then escorted onto the car.
It was not that he was afraid of Mason and these guns, but Lachlan was also unsure about what happened.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Considering that he was Miranda’s younger brother, Lachlan didn’t want to fight with them and decided to clarify the situation first before taking any action.
“Mason, what do you mean? I am your brother-in-law.” Lachlan was handcuffed and seated in the back seat.
Mason came up and sat directly next to him, his eyes like knives, staring fiercely at Lachlan.
“Is Mason the name you called?”
Mason spoke and pressed the gun directly against Lachlan’s forehead. “Speak! Who are you really? What’s your purpose in getting close to my sister?”
“You should have already investigated where I live, can you find it? Who am I, don’t you know?” Lachlan asked lightly.
“Of course I have investigated you! You are Henry’s person, he sent you to get close to my sister, right?” Mason asked fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan was stunned for a moment, and then had an expression of speechlessness.
“Little brother-in-law, have you been watching too many conspiracy theories?”
“Don’t you admit it yet? I found out that you have close ties with the Ward family. As an ordinary person, how can you have access to the Ward family?”
Mason pressed the gun against Lachlan’s head and threatened menacingly, “Admit it honestly, and I might consider sparing your life! Otherwise, I have ways to make you tell the truth! I guarantee you’ll be begging for life and longing for death!”
“Tell me, how do you plan to harm my sister, or use her against me?”
Lachlan looked at Mason and couldn’t help but reveal a wicked smile. “If I wanted to deal with you, do I need to go through your sister? This opportunity is good now!”
Swish!
As soon as the words fell, Mason only felt a lightness in his hand.
Caught off guard, the gun in his hand was instantly seized by Lachlan, now pointed back at Mason’s head.
Mason widened his eyes and showed a strong expression of doubt and surprise.
This guy, didn’t his hands get tied up?
How…?
In the next second, Mason’s pupils contracted as he noticed that Lachlan’s hand still had a dangling handcuff attached to it.
The handcuffs made of alloy were unexpectedly broken off at some point!
“Let go of Mr. Lowe!”
“Put down the gun!”
The sudden change in situation made the two henchmen in the front seat pale with shock. They shouted at Lachlan, their voices full of anger.
Ignoring them, Lachlan turned to Mason and asked calmly, “Can we talk now?”
Mason took a deep breath and waved his hand at the two henchmen. “Put your guns away. I need to talk to my ‘brother-in-law’.”
He emphasized the words ‘brother-in-law’, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
“Hehe…”
The two henchmen hesitated for a moment, but Lachlan put down his gun first and patted Mason on the shoulder. “Bro, my relationship with the Ward family means that I am one of their people?”
When Mason heard him call him “bro”, he glared at Lachlan fiercely, filled with resentment.
Damn it! He was Mr. Lowe, owner of Gold Coast Club and boss of Edoland’s underground scene!
“Otherwise,” Mason asked coldly, “how could you have a relationship with the Ward family?”
“If you really want to investigate me,” Lachlan replied calmly, “you should do it properly. Five days ago in front of Farmers Market in West District there is a deep-fried dough stick stand where something happened that morning.”
Hearing this response from Lachlan made Mason curl up his lips.
However, when Lachlan said this with a time and place, Mason was somewhat skeptical.
“You saved Erik? You also know medicine and martial arts? And you can gamble too? Damn, you’re amazing!” Mason teased.
“Thank you! How else could I have caught your sister’s eye?” Lachlan grinned unashamedly.
“Damn it!” Mason realized that this guy wouldn’t listen to reason. He stared at Lachlan intently and said, “I still don’t believe you! Unless… you can prove your medical skills. Otherwise, I’ll do everything in my power to kick you out of my sister’s life!”
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders. “How do I prove it? By curing your recent insomnia? That’s not difficult at all!”
From his complexion, Lachlan could tell that Mason hadn’t been sleeping well lately.
Mason hesitated for a moment before saying word by word, “You want difficulty? Fine! I’ll take you to meet someone. If you can cure her illness, then I’ll believe in you!”
“Not only will I believe in you,” Mason continued excitedly. “You’ll be my brother-in-law and I’ll be your little brother! Even if you slap me, I’ll stand straight!”
Lachlan raised an eyebrow and grinned again. “Oh really? Then consider me your future brother!”
…
Lachlan never expected that Mason would bring him to a military base in the outskirts of Edoland city!
This was where the city’s security forces were stationed.
Even Mason followed all the rules when coming here.
Only their Land Rover drove in and all the guns they carried were taken away by other subordinates beforehand.
At the entrance of this heavily guarded area, Mason made a phone call.
After a moment, a dark green jeep came out and Mason took Lachlan into it while leaving two subordinates outside.
Along the way, fully armed soldiers patrolled everywhere!
On both sides of the road stood upright figures emitting an iron-blooded aura.
No wonder why even Mason behaved himself here. Compared to these well-trained soldiers, his men were no match for them no matter how ruthless they may be.
Sitting in the jeep, Lachlan couldn’t help but click his tongue and wondered what kind of person did Mason want to deal with by bringing him here?
The scene was quite intimidating!
After a while, they arrived at a living quarter within this heavily guarded area and stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.
Because Mason had already called ahead earlier on, there was already one middle-aged man wearing military uniform waiting for them there.
Under the guidance of a middle-aged man, the two entered the courtyard.
It wasn’t luxurious, but it was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, giving off a peaceful vibe.
However, Lachlan’s peripheral vision caught sight of several hidden positions.
He could sense that amidst this peaceful scene lay hidden danger.
Although there seemed to be no guards around, several highly skilled snipers were concealed in strategic locations.
If he and Mason dared to make any sudden movements, they would likely be met with a bullet!
“Who are we here to treat?” Lachlan couldn’t help whispering.
“The daughter of the Chief General of the Edoland Security Forces.” Mason lowered his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lachlan noticed a hint of worry and sadness flash across Mason’s eyes.
