At this moment, Mason also came over and looked at his sister and Nora with concern. Then he exclaimed with enthusiasm and admiration, "Brother-in-law, I knew you were invincible! This old ghost looked pretty tough, but he was still beaten to death by you? Haha..."
Lachlan coughed and said, "What do you mean beaten to death by me? He just fell down on his own accord. It has nothing to do with me!"
Hearing this, Mason made a strange expression as he looked at Lachlan.
The others also had a puzzled look on their faces...
They thought: Mr. Willis, we may not be well-educated but don't try to deceive us! How could a master like him be killed by falling down himself??
But no one exposed the lie; they all just laughed along.
At that moment, Emerson walked over and felt guilty when he saw Lachlan.
"Mr. Willis, it's my fault! I couldn't protect Ms. Lowe and Miss Nora!"
Lachlan waved his hand dismissively saying, "It's not your fault."
After Emerson recovered from his injuries, he didn't stay at the Emerald Green Estates villa anymore; instead, Lachlan sent him out to sell pills and recruit more people for training.
Lachlan did not specifically instruct Emerson to protect Miranda or Nora either. He went back home that day thinking he would return soon enough so there was no need for such precautions today.
Of course, in the face of Hawkeye Ghost who was in Core Formation stage, even if Emerson stayed beside Miranda or Nora, it would have been useless anyway.
The steward of the Graham family came over at this time, and bowed respectfully towards Lachlan saying, "Mr. Willis, I am from the Graham family. Congratulations on turning danger into safety. I wonder if you're available tomorrow for our family head's invitation?"
Lachlan raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing meaningfully.
In the next second, he nodded slightly saying, "Of course it is convenient! I happen to want to thank your old patriarch for saving my life last time!"
He understood everything clearly in his heart. He knew Raul's previous "seven-day agreement" was also a test towards himself. And after Hawkeye Ghost died, the attitude of the Graham family towards him might change again.
That night, Lachlan, Miranda, Nora, and Mason went together visiting Emmanuel and Cara' house.
There were some surprises, but fortunately, no dangers occurred tonight.
Even Emmanuel, Cara, and Mason wanted know what exactly happened during those events too.
It was worth mentioning that Mason's subordinate, Dennis, was previously severely injured by Wild Wolf, but luckily he survived and saved his life.
It was after 9 pm when Lachlan finally left his in-laws' house and returned to Emerald Green Estates.
Miranda came along with him, perhaps wanting to appear still affectionate towards Lachlan in front of Emmanuel and Cara.
In the car ride back home, Nora sat next to Miranda and they seemed especially close. They had both recounted the events of what happened earlier at Emmanuel and Cara's place which moved Lachlan deeply.
He never expected that Miranda would risk her life for his daughter like that. Even little Nora had saved Miranda's life during their most desperate moment by relying on each other.
This made Lachlan feel even more complex emotions towards Miranda while also feeling guilty about what happened to her and Nora.
Lachlan couldn't help but feel scared at the thought of what could have happened if he hadn't trained hard enough. Hawkeye Ghost might have killed them all! He would never forgive himself if something like that ever happened.
On top of everything else, Claudia had once again conspired with Kayden after working with Tiger before. She almost killed their daughter! Did she even have any humanity left in her?
Lachlan felt an unprecedented level of anger towards Isa as well as a desire for revenge unlike anything before. Unlike last time where Isa used Nora as leverage against him, this time Isa disappeared only to try killing his own daughter instead! It was unforgivable!
"Isa," said Lachlan through gritted teeth. "I won't spare you this time. You're nothing but trouble!"
"Caelan, don't blame me. Your grandson brought this upon himself!"
