Chapter 16 My legs cannot bend
After Nora’s condition worsened and she was hospitalized, Lachlan packed some daily necessities and stayed at the hospital to accompany his daughter.
He never expected that after a period of time, the landlady would not even say hello and directly kick him out.
Why should Lachlan leave? The rent for the house had already been paid, so he had the right to live there.
Just because the landlady looked down on him and thought he couldn’t afford to renew his lease, she wanted Lachlan out early?
Although Lachlan had received some kind of opportunity, it hadn’t yet translated into money. Last time, Miranda only paid for Nora’s medical expenses and didn’t pay in any other way. Now, Lachlan didn’t have money to find another place to live.
Besides, Nora was still waiting to go home. If they were kicked out by the landlady now, how sad would she be?
“Not leaving? Do you believe I’ll find someone to beat you up?” The landlady pointed at Lachlan’s nose arrogantly.
Just then another voice with an eerie tone spoke up, “Lachlan, you can’t even afford your rent, and now you’re being kicked out?”
As soon as these words fell silent, a man and a woman entered with a group of fierce-looking people.
It was Claudia and her current husband Tom!
“Haha, and he’s even refusing to leave!”
Tom laughed loudly and then spat at Lachlan, “Damn it, with your appearance, you still hired someone to anger my Claudia? You’re a pathetic person who values face over everything else. If you saved the money from hiring someone and renting a car, it would be enough to pay your rent for several months.”
Claudia then mocked and said, “Lachlan, where is your wealthy girlfriend? Have her drive over in her Ferrari and pay your rent!”
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and said with a strong sense of hatred, “You deliberately tried to provoke me. Your behavior is simply childish and ridiculous.”
“Today, I’ll let you wake up and realize that you’re just a piece of trash that should be stepped on by others!”
“Tom, give him a good lesson for me, make him kneel down and beg me for mercy!”
“Baby, don’t worry!”
Tom grinned and looked at the fierce-looking thugs, addressing a bald man, “Mr. Johnson, give this guy a proper lesson, beat him until he kneels and begs my wife for mercy!”
“Mr. Bennett, rest assured, if he refuses to kneel, I’ll shatter his knees to make him kneel!” The bald man grinned and looked at Lachlan, “Kid, are you going to kneel down on your own or do you want us to do it for you?”
He was a big bully in this area, bullying men and dominating women, and doing all sorts of evil things.
He himself was a ruthless person, and he had about one hundred and eighty little men under his command, who were all fearless and skilled in using weapons.
In addition, there was an even more powerful presence covering him, so Greyson Johnson can be said to be reckless.
This shantytown was undergoing development, and the demolition work was under Greyson’s responsibility. Anyone who dared to resist relocation was paid a visit by Greyson’s crew, which usually made them comply obediently.
There was one household that was forcefully demolished by him. During the demolition process, the man of that family was crushed to death by a bulldozer.
The unexpected turn of events resulted in a loss of money and no resolution. Therefore, Greyson took Tom’s money and promised to break Lachlan’s knees, not just empty words.
He was serious about taking action!
“A happy marriage is built on trust! Claudia, how could you do this? Bringing these thugs to deal with me?” Lachlan ignored Greyson and angrily confronted Claudia.
He had always been devoted to her throughout their years together as a husband. As far as he knew, he had never done anything wrong towards her.
After all these years of love and devotion, Claudia was now so heartless?
When he fell on hard times, she kicked him while he was down!
How foolish he had been all these years!
Claudia sneered at him from above with malice in her eyes, “Who said we have a happy marriage? Are you even worthy? If anyone is to blame here, it’s you – poor and pretending! You’re nothing but trash that deserves to be stepped on!”
“F*ck off! I’m talking to you! Get down on your knees!” Greyson barked at Lachlan when he saw that the man wasn’t responding.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Sorry buddy,” Lachlan replied sarcastically. “I’ve got some leg problems. Can’t bend them like that.” Lachlan said expressionlessly.
“Damn it! Then today, I’ll teach you a lesson! What are you waiting for? Beat him up for me, right now!”
Upon hearing this, Greyson’s expression became ferocious.
The next second, Greyson’s group of henchmen fiercely surrounded Lachlan.
“Ha… I’ll make you stay and not leave! Now I don’t have to find someone, there’s someone to deal with this scoundrel.” Upon seeing this scene, the landlady also gloated and said with pleasure.
However, the next second, a jaw-dropping scene appeared.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Lachlan threw a punch, causing a thug’s ribcage to cave in as his ribs snapped one by one.
His leg swept out like a battle axe, making three burly men cough up blood as they were sent flying!
This scene had a very strong visual impact!
Lachlan didn’t actually know any techniques, but his speed, strength, and reflexes were completely superior to these people.
Nourished by the hot flow of dragon energy, Lachlan’s physical strength had long surpassed the limits of humanity.
In less than half a minute, Greyson’s henchmen were seen screaming in agony as they fell to the ground one after another.
Light injuries result in broken bones and torn tendons, while severe ones can cause unconsciousness or even death.
Lachlan had just gained this powerful ability, but he didn’t know how to control it yet.
Greyson rubbed his bald head and was dumbfounded!
Tom was also dumbfounded!
Claudia’s face, with its enchanting makeup, was full of shock and disbelief.
How could this poor guy be so good at fighting?
They had been married for years and she never knew?
And he sold a kidney too? How could he still be so strong?
At that moment, Lachlan walked towards Greyson with the momentum from before.
Greyson looked panicked and glanced at his henchmen. His face twitched violently.
This guy really hit hard!
He saw several of his henchmen with broken arms and legs, their bone fragments exposed!
“Bro, where are you hanging out? Today I was blind and didn’t recognize you, let’s not stir up trouble.”
“Don’t come over! I advise you not to cause trouble. Even if you are very skilled in fighting, you cannot afford to provoke the people behind me!” Seeing Lachlan still walking step by step, Greyson threatened fiercely.
At this moment, Tom snapped out of his shock and turned pale with fear. He pulled Claudia, who was still in shock beside him, and whispered, “Claudia, let’s go! Quickly!”
Claudia nodded in panic upon hearing the words.
The two of them took advantage of Lachlan’s attention being on Greyson and were about to sneak away.
Damn, this poor guy can actually fight so well?
It seemed that Greyson can’t handle it anymore. What if this poor guy turned around and attacked them again?
If they were not running, what were they waiting for?
The landlady’s face also trembled with fat as she quietly moved towards the door.
However, at this moment, a group of people rushed in from outside.
The leader was a middle-aged person with a fierce momentum, followed by a group of well-trained subordinates.
The unified black vest and black trousers were far beyond what Greyson’s subordinates can compare to.
Upon seeing this group of people, Greyson, who was originally panicked, suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.
“Mr. James!”
“Mr. James, save me!!”
