Hearing the words from the other side, Romeo's eyelids twitched violently, and he exclaimed in shock, "Who... who are you?"
"Quit acting ignorant. Do you think you don't know who I am? Daring to mess with us, NC Organization, I think you and your daughter are tired of living!" The cold voice said.
"So, you're a big shot from NC Organization? Saber wasn't killed by us; it was Lachlan! You need to get the facts straight and not wrongly accuse innocent people!" Romeo defended as politely as possible.
"Innocent people? Even if you didn't directly kill him, you're still involved! And do you think I'm here to reason with you? Tonight at 8 o'clock, you and your daughter come to the unfinished building on Boisrial Road. We'll settle the score properly. Just the two of you, better not play tricks, or your whole family will suffer!!!" The person on the other end declared coldly and then hung up.
Romeo stared at his phone, his face filled with panic and fear.
"Dad, what's wrong? Is it someone from NC Organization?" Harlow asked anxiously.
Rohan, who was driving in front, also wore a serious expression.
"Yes! They want us to meet them tonight at 8 o'clock on Boisrial Road at that unfinished building, saying they want to settle the score with us!" Romeo swallowed hard.
"What? What should we do?"
"Should we go? Should we bring Rohan to protect us?" Harlow asked fearfully, her complexion turning pale.
Romeo glanced at Rohan and sighed, "NC Organization is powerful. Although Rohan is a master of Dark Force, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect us. Moreover, this dark force is ruthless and unreasonable. I'm afraid if we go... especially you, Harlow, falling into the hands of NC Organization, the consequences could be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, Harlow nodded, "Yes, although we didn't directly cause Saber's death, they might not listen to reason. Dad, we can't go, absolutely not!"
Harlow looked at herself, thinking, "I'm so beautiful, with such fair skin and a great figure. If I go, won't I be targeted by the people from NC Organization?"
"But if we don't go, they probably won't let us off easily! Sooner or later, they will find us, and the consequences may be even more serious next time," Romeo said with a worried expression.
"Oh, what should we do?" Harlow asked in panic.
Romeo took a deep breath, contemplated for a while, and then brightened up, devising a plan.
"I've got it! The people from NC Organization keep saying things about us, probably because they think we are easy to handle. That's why they blamed Saber's death on us. In other words, they believe we don't have any backing. I think we need to show them our background and strength, make them wary, and maybe we can turn a big problem into a small one. At the very least, we should be able to resolve it by compensating them with money, without jeopardizing our lives! So, we need to tie ourselves to the Lowe family."
Upon hearing this, Harlow clapped her hands, "Exactly! Although NC Organization is known as the largest underground force in the Corlinet River Delta, as they say, even a powerful person cannot defeat a local bully. Our family is a first-class family in Edoland, with many experts. Our local influence is not to be underestimated. As long as we let them know that we have the Lowe family backing us, they should think twice. They wouldn't want to offend a powerful local family for just one person, right?"
Romeo nodded, "That's the idea! So tonight, instead of going to that unfinished building, we'll go to the Lowe Residence."
In the late afternoon at four o'clock, at the Lowe Residence!
Victoria was sitting by the pond in the yard, enjoying the view of the fish. At this moment, she saw Romeo and Harlow walking in with smiles on their faces.
