Chapter 229 No Taboos, Defeat Enemies with One Hand!
After receiving Isa’s order, Anthony coldly confronted Lachlan, “Lachlan, don’t involve your family in this! If you release him, we’ll release your daughter. How about that?”
Hearing this, Lachlan sneered mockingly. “You also know not to involve family? Fine then, let’s exchange hostages! You release my daughter first!”
“You release him first!” Anthony frowned.
“I said release my daughter first!” Lachlan’s tone brooked no argument.
At this moment, the little boy Rene in his arms began to cry again and wail uncontrollably with fear.
Meanwhile Nora closed her mouth and didn’t make a sound. She just looked at her father with a glimmer of hope amidst despair and fear.
Though Nora was only five years old, the suffering from illness and her parents’ divorce had made her understand a lot. The little girl knew that she had to be strong now!
“Release that brat!” Isa gritted his teeth over the phone as he remotely controlled Anthony.
“But if we release his daughter first and Lachlan still holds Rene hostage then we’ll be too scared to do anything,” Anthony hesitated.
“I said you should release her when I tell you! Is Rene’s life more important or someone else’s?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“If it doesn’t work out today then just let go of this bastard!”
“Anyway Giovanni is here so after today he can be killed anytime!” Isa shouted into the phone.
“Understood young master!”
Anthony nodded before glaring at Lachlan with an ominous expression. “Willis huh? You’re quite ruthless!”
With that he put Nora down on the ground.
“Daddy…”
As soon as she was released, Nora ran towards Lachlan as fast as she could.
Watching his daughter run towards him brought a smile to Lachlan’s face; thankfully these animals hadn’t caused any irreversible damage to Nora.
“Baby girl! It’s okay now!” Once she reached him, he immediately released Rene from his arms before crouching down quickly picking up his own child.
His eyes were moistened by tears but he couldn’t help feeling guilty yet relieved holding onto his precious daughter tightly against himself.
At this moment, after freeing himself from Lachlan, Rene swiftly ran towards Anthony.
He recognized Anthony and knew that he was one of his brother’s henchmen.
Lachlan’s unexpected actions left Anthony, Giovanni, and others stunned.
On the other side, Isa and Kayden also wore expressions of surprise. None of them expected that Lachlan would release Rene directly, foregoing him as a hostage to help them out of danger.
“Haha! How stupid can this guy be?” Kayden laughed.
Isa’s expression turned fierce again as he gritted his teeth. “Lachlan, are you getting too cocky?”
Anthony regained his senses and handed Rene over to one of his men, instructing him to take the child away from the scene. Then he signaled his brother Giovanni with a fierce expression, “Brother, it’s time!”
Giovanni nodded with a powerful aura around him as he twisted his neck and walked towards Lachlan and his daughter.
“You think we can’t do anything now that we don’t have a hostage?”
“You’re so dumb that you actually dared to let go of Rene!”
“Now you can die holding your daughter!”
Upon hearing these words, Lachlan showed a hint of disdain in his eyes. He turned to Nora, “Baby girl, remember there are many bad people in this world! So from now on I will kill all these bad people for us. Don’t be afraid okay?”
Today’s events made Lachlan realize that he cannot always shelter Nora from reality but rather prepare her for what was ahead in life – even if it meant facing death again due to the curse inside her body.
As much as it pained him deeply inside seeing Nora cry earlier, however, he decided that from now on she must learn how cruel this world could be but also learn how strong she needed to become!
Nora wiped away her tears and nodded, “Yes! I amn’t scared! You should fight hard until all bad people are dead!”
“Good job sweetie but please close your eyes, okay?” Lachlan smiled at her before turning back towards their enemies who were approaching them.
“What a lovely scene.”
“Lachlan, you will soon close your eyes! And it will be forever!”
Giovanni twisted his neck again, looking at Lachlan as if he was already looking at a dead man.
His eyes were full of murderous intent!
Lachlan looked at him expressionlessly and sneered, “Is there something wrong with your neck?”
“Young man, die!”
Hearing Lachlan’s provocative words, Giovanni roared and attacked.
He was only one step away from breaking through to the Grandmaster level and had absolute confidence in his own strength.
Before leaving the mountain, his master Osvaldo had said that with Giovanni’s strength, he was basically invincible in the secular world.
Staying on Havertown Mountains to cultivate was no longer useful.
Only after experiencing some things after leaving the mountain could he possibly make further breakthroughs and become a true Grandmaster-level powerhouse.
Therefore, Giovanni didn’t even put Lachlan in his eyes when facing him. Moreover, this guy held his daughter in his arms. If he started fighting back then he would definitely be restrained by that fact alone.
He leaped into the air and slapped down towards Lachlan’s head with all of Half-Step Grandmaster’s power fully unleashed!
Even causing a sonic boom which can be described as extremely powerful momentum!
“Die! Lachlan!”
Isa watched this scene excitedly while his body trembled slightly due to excitement.
Kayden also laughed cruelly feeling that he finally got his revenge today by witnessing Lachlan’s miserable death.
Although Miranda had confidence in Lachlan, she still stared unblinkingly at what was happening on screen right now.
Slap!
In an instant later, Lachlan suddenly made a move without warning when faced with Giovanni’s attack. It was precise, swift, and tricky!
It caught Giovanni’s wrist holding out for attack like lightning.
He then exerted force with one hand, lifting Giovanni and slamming him heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
A dull, thunderous sound of a body hitting the ground accompanied by the crackling noise of bones breaking.
Giovanni, this Half-Step Grandmaster and pinnacle expert, seemed like a lifeless fish in Lachlan’s hands, utterly devoid of any resistance or struggle.
Why did Lachlan directly abandon Isa’s brother, foregoing him as a hostage? Because he didn’t need a hostage!
With Nora safely cradled in his arms, he could act without any restraints, annihilating his enemies with ease!
