"Wow! Daddy, the car behind us just fell off!" Nora exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face from the backseat.
Lachlan chuckled and slowly pulled over to the side of the road. "Sweetheart, wait for me in the car. Daddy's going to check it out."
"Do you want me to call 911?" Nora asked innocently, but her big eyes were rolling around mischievously like a little troublemaker.
No matter how people looked at it, she seemed like she was enjoying someone else's misfortune.
The car behind them had been honking at them incessantly, and Nora found it annoying too.
After Lachlan got out of the car and approached the railing by the riverbank, he saw that two heads popped up from under water after a few surges of water.
Looking at Dagger with narrowed eyes, Lachlan recognized him right away!
Wasn't this one of Romeo's hired killers who took down Dale last time?
In addition to him was an unfamiliar young man.
Lachlan snorted coldly and was considering whether or not he should take care of them now!
However, just then when that strange young man surfaced from under water again, he began cursing loudly at Lachlan while pointing his finger accusingly at him.
His tone and expression were extremely anxious and frantic!
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me honking my horn?"
"There's a bomb in your car! A bomb!"
"What about that kid? Why did you leave her alone? Where is she?"
"Hurry up and get that child out here!"
Lachlan made an awkward sound as he looked strangely at this guy who seemed so concerned about their safety all of sudden. Were these two assassins not here to kill him but rather trying to warn him instead?
"Dude," Lachlan said as he shook his head while holding up what had been disarmed already. "Is this what you're talking about? It's already taken care of. There is no problem."
"I didn't know your intentions were good. I'm sorry," Lachlan added apologetically because they misunderstood each other earlier. He felt guilty for having tricked them into falling into the river accidentally when they tried warning him kindly before.
At this point Makhi's expression froze suddenly as he stared wide-eyed in disbelief watching Lachlan holding his beloved bomb which had now been disarmed completely without consulting him first.
"My bomb!" He gasped incredulously while struggling for breath almost dying on spot due to shock.
"You've already dismantled my bomb?"
"My car too... my damn car has sunk into the river thanks to your stupidity... you owe me compensation for my loss!!"
Lachlan became even more confused upon hearing Makhi's complaints since it sounded like he owned the bomb?
Did he set up the bomb himself?
And he then ran over here trying warn him afterwards?
What kind of game was being played here?
Did he run into some crazy people outside today?!
Lachlan looked at Makhi and Dagger with a dumbfounded expression before turning around and walking away. Meanwhile, the president of the Blood Slaughter Association and his henchmen were still struggling in the water. Lachlan's final look had deeply insulted them.
Later that day, outside a restaurant near Marinaland, Nora happily pulled Lachlan's hand as they walked towards the entrance. "Nora, are you having fun?" Lachlan asked indulgently as he watched his daughter's lively demeanor.
