Chapter 319 Doesn’t it work?
Dagger heard Makhi say Lachlan’s name, and he was completely confused. They now knew that Lachlan was a powerful figure, but they weren’t sure how well-known he was. Would it even matter if Makhi mentioned his name?
Makhi had acted on impulse too, not expecting the Transmutation Force expert in front of them to react so strongly to Lachlan’s name. “That’s right! My boss is Lachlan. Looks like you’ve heard of him too,” Makhi boasted. “You should know how badass my boss is. If you mess with us, he’ll wipe out the entire Britt family for revenge.”
Fabian’s expression changed several times as he sneered, “Lachlan is really your boss?” As a member of the Transmutation Force and an important figure in the Britt family, Fabian had been informed about Lachlan possibly coming to the Capital last night.
He knew who Lachlan was and that one of Ghost Plaque Sect’s top experts had died at his hands.
So when Fabian heard his name mentioned again by Makhi and Dagger today, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
Makhi and Dagger were also excited by Fabian’s reaction; it seemed like mentioning Lachlan really did have some power behind it! Was their previous plan to assassinate him a mistake?
“No shit! Of course it’s true!” Makhi continued confidently. “I’ll tell you straight up. Blood Slaughter Association is backed by my boss, Lachlan! If you’re smart, get lost now or else when my boss comes for revenge later on… you won’t stand a chance!”
Makhi felt empowered as he spoke these words; there was something thrilling about pretending to be tough like this.
However, upon hearing this, Dagger’s face turned dark and he looked at his leader with a speechless expression. He thought to himself, “Can you use your brain before boasting? Why do you speak without thinking?”
There was no way Lachlan could come over in such a short time. Wasn’t this just shooting himself in the foot?
Sure enough, when Makhi said that Lachlan would come over soon, Fabian raised an eyebrow and asked in a deep voice while staring at Makhi, “You said Lachlan will come over soon?”
Makhi’s face immediately flashed with guilt. He gritted his teeth and nodded firmly, “Yes! What about it? Are you scared now?”
Fabian looked at Makhi with a sneer on his face. “I think it’s actually you who is scared.”
He continued coldly, “I’ve never heard of Lachlan having little minions like you guys. Even if he is powerful, he couldn’t have arrived here so quickly to support you guys.”
He chuckled sarcastically and added, “Don’t even mention whether or not you are really part of Lachlan’s gang. Even if you are, it won’t help now!”
With that said, Fabian exuded an intense killing intent as he locked onto Dagger again.
Makhi and Dagger both showed panic and despair on their faces; the latter even gave a bitter smile as he prepared for death.
Meanwhile, Makhi cursed himself inwardly for being so stupid to blurt out about Lachlan earlier when they had already made him wary.
Now they were almost exposed because of him! Why did he have to say that Lachlan would be coming soon? Not only did they not have any connection with him but also how could anyone travel from Edoland all the way here so quickly?
Just then though, right at this crucial moment, both Makhi and Fabian suddenly felt their vision blur.
Immediately after that came a cold yet playful voice, “Oh? It doesn’t work now?”
A figure appeared abruptly between Makhi and Dagger on one side and Fabian on the other side.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Upon seeing this person though, despite being ready to attack just moments ago, Fabian froze up completely next second upon recognizing him, “You… you’re… Lachlan?” His movements became sluggish as shock registered across his features.
“As genuine as can be,” replied Lachlan smirking wickedly.
Both Makhi and Dagger stared incredulously at him too; unable to believe what was happening before them.
What?! How could this be possible?! Wasn’t it just impossible for him to show up out of nowhere?
Makhi’s face was full of surprise and excitement, his voice even trembling with tears, “Lachlan boss, you really came to save us! You’re like a god!”
He couldn’t help but wonder if Lachlan was actually a heavenly immortal. It was as if he had heard their prayers and miraculously appeared. Otherwise, this would be too surreal.
Lachlan’s expression became strange when he heard Makhi calling him “boss.” When did he become the leader of these silly assassins?
“Yes, boss! You have to help us! This bastard is a human trafficker for the Britt family. He has captured many children under ten years old and wants to sell them to the Ghost Plaque Sect! Lachlan boss, you also have a daughter! As a parent yourself, you can’t tolerate such despicable crimes, right?” Makhi urgently tried to appeal to Lachlan’s sense of justice and morality while pulling him over to their side.
Because he knew that they had nothing in common with each other. Makhi and Dagger only hoped that there was still some sense of justice and moral limits within Lachlan.
“What? Child trafficking sold to the Ghost Plaque Sect?” Lachlan’s face suddenly changed color. A terrible aura emanated from his body. Fabian saw this change in expression on his face and felt chills run down his spine; he turned around without hesitation and ran away!
“Running away?” A coldness spread across Lachlan’s face as he took one step forward towards Fabian at lightning speed.
Bang!
Crack…
There was only one muffled sound before Lachlan swept Fabian off his feet with one leg sweep; both legs were broken instantly upon impact. His whole body fell forward due to inertia onto the ground; unable to move any longer due losing all mobility in both legs.
Seeing this scene unfold before them made Makhi and Dagger look at each other in shock!
Wow!
This guy named Lachlan was really awesome!
The Transmutation Force expert who just moments ago had forced them into an impossible situation had been disabled so easily?
Hiss…
Both men gasped for air after taking several breaths when they saw what happened next: as soon as Lachlan walked back holding onto Fabian like a dead dog by its neck.
“L… Lachlan Boss!” stuttered Makhi nervously. “It was all just a misunderstanding earlier on,” added Dagger hastily,
“You… you don’t get angry now…”
