Sighing, Lilith explained, “I originally wanted to join Horizon Group, but he turned me down. Every member of the group is the cream of the crop in their field. He set a rule that they would not accept any national-level scientists. All the scientists would have to work for their own nation.”
“I didn't know he was so patriotic,” remarked Lana.
“It might seem like he doesn't care about others' opinions of him, but he's actually pretty arrogant inside and has always wanted to serve the country,” remarked Lilith as she nodded.
When Donald came out of Lana's office, Charles was already waiting downstairs and bowed respectfully. “Lord Campbell, the Wyvern King from Horizon Group has arrived.”
With his hands behind his back, Donald instructed, “Get in the car.”
A couple of seconds after he entered the luxurious Rolls-Royce, another man
stepped forward and looked at him respectfully. “Lord Campbell.”
It was a handsome but aloof man.
His eyes were long and narrow, and he had a defined jawline, giving the image of being cold and distant.
Kingsley Felton was a member of the Horizon Group and one of the top 100 assassins in the world.
“You're here,” Donald piped up.
“As long as you need me, I'll do whatever it takes to be here for you.” Kingsley was very excited because Donald was his role model. He even imitated Donald and put on an indifferent expression.
“Go to Tayhaven with these two things and the reclamation approval documents. If the Wilson family refuses to obey, kill a few of them,” ordered Donald coldly. “Send them in the name of Horizon Group.”
“Will it cause Ms. Wilson any trouble?” inquired Charles. “If the Parasite finds out
“It's okay. I've got my own plans,” Donald interrupted.
Hearing that, Charles remained silent.
Shortly afterward, Kingsley left after taking Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Pollerton was still prosperous. The financial district was beautifully illuminated. Reina was still processing orders in the office and had not gone home yet.
Wynter's promotional video had been released, and it had a great effect.
The number of orders had increased dramatically in the last two days. Scarlet Swan Villa had also formally established a partnership with Charles to build a specialized logistics line.
It could be said that Reina's business in the Southwood E-commerce District was off to a good start.
Only a limited number of people were aware that the shoreline behind the Southwood E-commerce District would soon undergo land reclamation and become the springboard to success for countless people.
Meanwhile, the dominant figure behind all those plans was none other than Donald.
All of a sudden, Reina's phone rang. She picked it up immediately to see if it was a text from Donald.
However, it was from an unknown number. The text read: If you want me to let Donald off, give me 50% of the shares of Scarlet Swan Villa.
In an instant, a chill ran down her spine.
It was from Jasper. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She had always known that Jasper was ambitious. That was why she offered to pay him one hundred million to settle the matter.
Unbeknownst to her, he was overly ambitious It was to the extent that he demanded half of Scarlet Swan Villa's equity.
The annual net profit of Scarlet Swan Villa is now over seven million, thanks to tourism and sales. Jasper actually wants half of it?
She instantly racked her mind to think of a countermeasure.
Should I tell Donald about this? No, I can't tell him! Jasper's granddad is the leader of the Octagon Sect, while his father is the East Prince, Lucas. Once I tell Donald about this, he'll undoubtedly come forward. If he gets into another conflict with Jasper, he'll be in danger.
Beads of sweat covered her forehead as she thought of that.
What should I do"? Should I not bother myself with Donald's safety?
She asked herself three times and found out that she could not do that.
Despite the fact that their time together was brief, she had fallen for him unknowingly.
