Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 Coercion

While the car was parked for a break, Black Star called Thunderstorm.

"Thunderstorm, has anything happened while I've been away?" Black Star asked in a deep voice.

At that moment, Thunderstorm was waiting for a compromise message from Mason at the main entrance of the NC Organization in Kreanford.

Receiving a call from Black Star at this time caught Thunderstorm off guard. He hesitated for a moment before replying, "Nothing has happened, don't worry, Hall Master."

"Good, as long as everything is fine."

"By the way, our planned expansion into Edoland is canceled, do you understand?" Black Star's tone shifted.

"Why?" Thunderstorm's voice turned serious, carrying a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.

"Because there's a force in Edoland we can't afford to provoke! Just do as I say!" Black Star's voice turned cold, feeling secretly annoyed at Thunderstorm's questioning of his decision.

Internally, Thunderstorm grunted and gritted his teeth. "I understand, Hall Master. By the way, when will you be back?"

After some thought, Black Star replied, "Earliest by midnight today, more likely the day after tomorrow."

As an underground organization, the NC Organization, along with his and Lightless' identities, including Nathaniel of the Black Moon Cult, were highly sensitive. Therefore, driving back to Kreanford would take at least a whole day, with potential stops for rest, meals, and accommodation.

After hanging up, Black Star couldn't shake an unsettling feeling. However, thinking it through, he dismissed the notion of any real issues. After all, Landon wasn't in Edoland, and Thunderstorm wouldn't provoke him either. As for the Graham family, they kept a low profile in Edoland and had little contact with the outside world, making any encounters unlikely.

"Darn it, maybe I'm just overthinking it! Have I been spooked by Landon and that old man, making me paranoid?" Black Star shook his head, speaking somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Meanwhile, after finishing the call with Black Star, Thunderstorm let out a heavy, disdainful sigh.

"Thunderstorm, what's wrong? Was it the Hall Master who called?" Cobra, clearly aligned with Thunderstorm in the NC Organization, asked with concern.

"Yes! Black Star actually said to cancel the original plan to expand our influence into Edoland!"

"Hmph!" Thunderstorm snorted, his expression dark. "I suspect someone has informed him about my move against Mason's influence in Edoland. Is he worried that my success might threaten his position as the Hall Master?"

Hearing this, Cobra frowned and inquired, "What should we do then?"

"Hmph! We'll do what needs to be done, and we won't bother with him! I'll get things done first! Continue to pressure Mason! Damn it, he's trying to delay things until the last minute, isn't he? I'll prepare a little show for him and then send it to Mason!" Thunderstorm said, sneering coldly.

A moment later, inside the Gold Coast Club!
